john_n 14._o and_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o john_n if_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n he_o will_v hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o grant_v our_o petition_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n you_o shall_v have_v it_o you_o know_v these_o thing_n only_o i_o mind_n you_o as_o peter_z and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n often_o mind_v they_o of_o what_o they_o know_v already_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o error_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n you_o see_v four_o great_a pillar_n under_o it_o it_o have_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v precept_n and_o example_n and_o promise_v to_o perform_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o and_o there_o be_v threaten_n to_o those_o that_o do_v it_o not_o curse_v the_o family_n that_o call_v not_o on_o thy_o name_n second_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a ordinance_n or_o duty_n and_o you_o may_v see_v that_o three_o way_n first_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o old_a testament_n you_o shall_v see_v there_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o practise_v it_o i_o need_v not_o instance_n in_o any_o one_o place_n and_o second_o you_o will_v easy_o grant_v that_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o dawn_n of_o it_o in_o christ_n time_n for_o that_o be_v the_o dawn_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o you_o see_v christ_n pray_v whole_a night_n and_o before_o day_n he_o be_v on_o the_o mountain_n seek_v god_n and_o there_o be_v many_o parable_n one_o in_o luke_n 11._o and_o another_o here_o wherein_o he_o exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v earnest_a with_o god_n and_o though_o god_n as_o it_o be_v seem_v as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n otherwise_o to_o do_v it_o yet_o by_o the_o very_a importunity_n of_o prayer_n for_o that_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o that_o parable_n in_o luke_n 11._o and_o of_o this_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v entreat_v then_o come_v after_o to_o the_o time_n that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v full_o set_v up_o you_o see_v when_o christ_n be_v go_v to_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n there_o they_o pray_v and_o call_v on_o god_n continual_o all_o those_o church_n do_v call_v upon_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o clear_a nay_o three_o for_o there_o be_v the_o main_a hint_n of_o it_o in_o the_o last_o time_n in_o these_o time_n and_o in_o late_a time_n than_o these_o though_o these_o be_v call_v the_o last_o time_n the_o glorious_a time_n that_o shall_v be_v just_a at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v be_v a_o pray_a people_n in_o those_o day_n i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o one_o place_n zach._n 12._o that_o be_v clear_a concern_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o last_o time_n that_o they_o shall_v look_v on_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v and_o shall_v mourn_v every_o family_n apart_o now_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v in_o neither_o be_v those_o glorious_a time_n yet_o come_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o shall_v follow_v upon_o their_o come_n yet_o it_o be_v say_v when_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o pray_v shall_v be_v in_o such_o request_n in_o those_o day_n that_o even_o the_o conversation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v a_o pour_v on_o they_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n therefore_o say_v not_o now_o the_o last_o time_n be_v come_v and_o these_o be_v glorious_a time_n and_o we_o can_v live_v immediate_o upon_o god_n without_o ordinance_n etc._n etc._n no_o those_o time_n be_v not_o come_v and_o yet_o when_o that_o time_n be_v come_v they_o shall_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v not_o the_o devil_n steal_v away_o any_o of_o your_o ordinance_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o again_o and_o again_o he_o drive_v on_o a_o wonderful_a design_n among_o you_o in_o that_o respect_n and_o of_o all_o ordinance_n labour_v to_o keep_v prayer_n for_o cast_v off_o prayer_n and_o cast_v off_o saintship_n for_o to_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o to_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o true_a heart_n be_v the_o same_o i_o will_v call_v thou_o no_o long_o a_o saint_n than_o thou_o call_v on_o god_n therefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o pretence_n look_v to_o that_o some_o object_n god_n know_v our_o want_n and_o what_o need_v we_o pray_v say_v our_o saviour_n mat._n 5._o your_o heavenly_a father_n know_v what_o you_o have_v need_n of_o and_o yet_o christ_n teach_v they_o to_o pray_v we_o must_v manifest_v our_o obedience_n notwithstanding_o that_o god_n will_v do_v one_o thing_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o another_o that_o be_v a_o foolish_a objection_n because_o we_o know_v not_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o neither_o how_o to_o pray_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o if_o it_o be_v according_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o for_o our_o good_a god_n will_v not_o deny_v it_o to_o we_o but_o the_o main_a engine_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v to_o cheat_v we_o of_o this_o ordinance_n be_v that_o there_o be_v time_n when_o there_o be_v need_n of_o ordinance_n and_o these_o beggarly_a rudiment_n this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o some_o these_o carnal_a ordinance_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v good_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o former_a time_n but_o now_o glorious_a time_n be_v come_v for_o saint_n to_o live_v immediate_o on_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v call_v there_o will_v be_v need_n of_o these_o ordinance_n and_o though_o as_o we_o grow_v more_o perfect_a in_o glory_n so_o we_o have_v less_o need_n of_o they_o therefore_o as_o we_o be_v more_o glorious_a and_o have_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o they_o have_v in_o the_o old_a so_o we_o have_v few_o ordinance_n than_o they_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n when_o she_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o glory_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o ordinance_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v but_o yet_o we_o have_v infirmity_n and_o the_o lord_n know_v what_o be_v best_a for_o we_o and_o we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o flesh_n and_o carnalness_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n till_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o god_n in_o mercy_n afford_v we_o these_o ordinance_n and_o help_v to_o deal_v with_o he_o and_o to_o keep_v our_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o to_o live_v in_o and_o from_o he_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o without_o partiality_n and_o prejudice_n weigh_v the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o then_o take_v heed_n how_o the_o devil_n cheat_v you_o of_o this_o bless_a ordinance_n for_o true_o i_o may_v say_v as_o christ_n say_v now_o be_v the_o axe_n lay_v to_o the_o root_n to_o the_o root_n of_o prayer_n and_o if_o the_o devil_n take_v away_o that_o thou_o be_v no_o more_o a_o saint_n my_o life_n for_o thou_o if_o thou_o once_o throw_v away_o call_v on_o god_n therefore_o learn_v that_o word_n and_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o you_o that_o do_v not_o but_o be_v grow_v into_o remissness_n by_o the_o opinion_n that_o be_v abroad_o concern_v this_o duty_n i_o beseech_v you_o renew_v your_o care_n and_o diligence_n every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o public_a and_o private_a to_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o consider_v with_o yourselves_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a remissness_n on_o your_o spirit_n then_o before_o do_v you_o not_o set_v yourselves_o often_o and_o more_o earnest_o apart_o to_o seek_v god_n before_o than_o you_o do_v now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n say_v as_o david_n o_o how_o sweet_a be_v thy_o word_n by_o it_o thy_o servant_n be_v warn_v now_o this_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o word_n that_o have_v warn_v thou_o when_o thou_o be_v go_v to_o undo_v thyself_o and_o to_o throw_v thyself_o away_o therefore_o set_v thyself_o to_o it_o and_o let_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o in_o throw_v away_o of_o ordinance_n make_v you_o remiss_a in_o use_v they_o either_o throw_v they_o away_o quite_o or_o use_v they_o as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o careless_a use_n of_o ordinance_n be_v abominable_a to_o god_n

that_o we_o shall_v learn_v the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o you_o that_o be_v ancient_a christian_n security_n 1._o use_v to_o avoid_v security_n ancient_a professor_n if_o you_o stand_v to_o take_v heed_n lest_o you_o fall_v how_o shall_v this_o i_o think_v make_v a_o ancient_a saint_n watch_v how_o shall_v he_o avoid_v security_n when_o it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o old_a christian_n to_o take_v a_o nap_n and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v high_o in_o heaven_n they_o lose_v much_o of_o their_o glory_n in_o heaven_n nay_o they_o lose_v their_o honour_n here_o you_o some_o man_n think_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n therefore_o stand_v on_o your_o guard_n say_v not_o we_o have_v be_v professor_n twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n as_o ordinary_a professor_n brag_v of_o their_o stand_n in_o religion_n no_o but_o remember_v this_o lesson_n there_o be_v many_o first_o that_o shall_v be_v last_o therefore_o walk_v watchful_o and_o circumspect_o think_v with_o yourselves_o and_o o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o ancient_a christian_n in_o this_o city_n to_o see_v poor_a soul_n of_o a_o year_n or_o half_o a_o year_n stand_v start_v up_o that_o have_v more_o of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o more_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o love_v he_o more_o and_o his_o saint_n and_o do_v more_o for_o he_o then_o they_o do_v o_o look_v about_o thou_o and_o consider_v with_o thyself_o that_o though_o thou_o be_v ancient_a and_o before_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o christ_n yet_o thou_o may_v come_v a_o great_a while_n after_o he_o to_o heaven_n for_o all_o that_o therefore_o say_v paul_n i_o press_v hard_a to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o it_o be_v a_o comparrison_n from_o man_n that_o run_v in_o a_o race_n as_o the_o heathen_a poet_n say_v when_o a_o man_n run_v in_o a_o race_n he_o never_o look_v on_o the_o horse_n that_o be_v behind_o he_o but_o if_o there_o be_v one_o before_o he_o he_o look_v to_o that_o belove_a look_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v before_o other_o take_v heed_n that_o thou_o come_v not_o to_o the_o goal_n after_o they_o second_o let_v ancient_a professor_n ancient_a christian_n other_o 2._o not_o to_o contemn_v other_o learn_v not_o to_o despise_v and_o contemn_v weak_a saint_n young_a beginner_n nay_o not_o sinner_n themselves_o i_o have_v observe_v it_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o my_o soul_n with_o the_o bleed_n of_o my_o heart_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o contempt_n and_o disdain_n in_o the_o brow_n of_o some_o ancient_a christian_n against_o some_o weak_a saint_n take_v heed_n of_o it_o for_o though_o thou_o be_v first_o and_o great_a now_o thou_o be_v honour_v now_o as_o a_o excellent_a prayer_n in_o london_n as_o one_o excellent_a in_o a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n who_o know_v whether_o thou_o that_o be_v first_fw-mi may_v not_o be_v last_o therefore_o contemn_v not_o weak_a saint_n no_o nor_o sinner_n there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o may_v be_v in_o the_o alehouse_n a_o drink_n and_o

thing_n of_o god_n in_o he_o consider_v he_o that_o be_v first_o may_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o may_v be_v first_o three_o let_v weak_a saint_n and_o young_a beginner_n learn_v unreverent_o 3._o weak_a one_o not_o to_o bear_v themselves_o unreverent_o hence_o also_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n that_o i_o may_v put_v in_o that_o caveat_n not_o to_o behave_v themselves_o unreverent_o towards_o the_o ancient_a i_o will_v not_o have_v old_a saint_n to_o crow_v over_o the_o young_a muchlesse_a the_o young_a over_o the_o ancient_a say_v paul_n rebuke_v not_o a_o elder_a but_o rather_o exhort_v he_o if_o we_o in_o preach_v must_v not_o speak_v so_o sharp_o to_o ancient_a christian_n whether_o elder_n in_o office_n or_o rather_o in_o religion_n as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v we_o must_v not_o rebuke_v he_o but_o speak_v with_o reverence_n so_o much_o more_o young_a christian_n must_v speak_v reverent_o of_o ancient_a christian_n and_o not_o say_v there_o go_v such_o a_o old_a professor_n and_o such_o a_o one_o say_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o so_o despise_v he_o no_o but_o as_o god_n have_v put_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o young_a shall_v observe_v the_o elder_a and_o the_o junior_a shall_v respect_v the_o senior_a so_o in_o grace_n and_o religion_n people_n must_v observe_v their_o duty_n therefore_o young_a woman_n must_v learn_v of_o the_o old_a and_o old_a woman_n shall_v be_v teacher_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o young_a woman_n not_o give_v to_o wine_n etc._n etc._n beware_v of_o petulant_a wanton_a carriage_n towards_o old_a professor_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v not_o discourage_v by_o see_v the_o discourage_v neither_o to_o be_v discourage_v grace_n in_o ancient_a strong_a christian_n it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n for_o weak_a saint_n to_o be_v more_o discourage_v at_o the_o grace_n of_o strong_a saint_n then_o at_o any_o thing_n else_o as_o a_o weak_a eye_n that_o look_v on_o the_o sun_n can_v see_v just_a nothing_o so_o many_o a_o
they_o one_o by_o one_o by_o degree_n he_o have_v bring_v we_o from_o repetition_n of_o the_o word_n and_o from_o sing_v of_o psalm_n and_o many_o from_o baptise_v of_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o

call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o let_v we_o do_v as_o rehoboam_n do_v when_o he_o have_v lose_v ten_o tribe_n he_o go_v and_o strengthen_v the_o two_o that_o remain_v belove_a there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o ordinance_n that_o remain_v and_o they_o be_v almost_o go_v too_o therefore_o let_v we_o do_v our_o best_a to_o keep_v those_o one_o be_v pray_v or_o call_v upon_o god_n which_o our_o lord_n christ_n divers_a way_n by_o precept_n and_o example_n and_o parable_n etc._n etc._n do_v exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o to_o pray_v always_o and_o not_o to_o faint_v so_o that_o this_o be_v it_o that_o you_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v that_o prayer_n or_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o ordinance_n and_o a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v many_o of_o you_o do_v not_o doubt_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o think_v why_o shall_v i_o speak_v of_o it_o true_o no_o more_o do_v not_o i_o doubt_v of_o

more_o than_o we_o do_v for_o i_o be_o afraid_a though_o many_o of_o you_o doubt_v not_o of_o it_o yet_o many_o of_o you_o be_v slack_a and_o though_o you_o believe_v not_o what_o the_o other_o say_v yet_o you_o harken_v so_o much_o to_o they_o as_o to_o slacken_v of_o what_o the_o old_a saint_n do_v and_o of_o what_o yourselves_o do_v before_o you_o do_v not_o set_v yourselves_o so_o earnest_o and_o so_o frequent_o and_o follow_v god_n so_o hard_o in_o prayer_n as_o you_o have_v do_v this_o i_o great_o fear_v for_o i_o find_v many_o time_n that_o the_o devil_n play_v a_o double_a game_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o take_v away_o a_o ordinance_n from_o people_n to_o cheat_v they_o of_o it_o he_o know_v that_o some_o be_v so_o giddy_a that_o he_o can_v gull_v and_o cheat_v they_o

many_o sing_v of_o psalm_n prasing_z god_n according_a to_o that_o manner_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v for_o divers_a age_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a manner_n in_o the_o
