the_o fowl_n trouble_v abraham_n in_o his_o sacrifice_n so_o a_o fowl_n number_n of_o by-thought_n be_v ready_a to_o trouble_v we_o in_o prayer_n wherefore_o every_o good_a servant_n of_o god_n must_v

star_n to_o the_o very_a throne_n of_o grace_n to_o seek_v thing_n needful_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n a_o learned_a father_n define_v prayer_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mount_a chariot_n up_o of_o the_o heart_n unto_o god_n so_o that_o prayer_n be_v like_o the_o fiery_a chariot_n in_o which_o elias_n be_v transport_v from_o earth_n into_o heaven_n even_o so_o by_o prayer_n we_o be_v

three_o thing_n in_o prayer_n be_v that_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o desire_v 7._o thing_n that_o be_v needful_a as_o psal._n 10._o 7._o lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a

feel_n of_o our_o own_o misery_n and_o want_n 2_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o have_v they_o supply_v concern_v the_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o feeling_n and_o former_a apprehension_n of_o our_o

never_o pray_v to_o god_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o want_n and_o to_o bustle_v under_o they_o and_o hang_v down_o the_o head_n as_o a_o bulrush_n but_o he_o must_v earnest_o desire_v and_o seek_v supply_n for_o they_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o jehoshaphat_n say_v 2_o chron._n 20._o 12._o o_o lord_n we_o be_v

in_o prayer_n there_o must_v be_v a_o desire_v of_o needful_a thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o as_o ground_n when_o it_o be_v dry_a open_v it_o ground_n self_n into_o cleft_n and_o cranny_n

at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n thus_o it_o appear_v a_o man_n may_v speak_v word_n of_o prayer_n a_o hundred_o time_n and_o yet_o never_o pray_v true_o if_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o dispose_v and_o

three_o not_o every_o lift_n up_o of_o the_o heart_n but_o whereby_o we_o desire_v thing_n needful_a four_a there_o must_v be_v a_o sense_n of_o our_o want_n fifthly_o and_o last_o of_o all_o yea_o

pray_v for_o though_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v enough_o for_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v answer_v all_o temptation_n as_o the_o lame_a man_n answer_v the_o jew_n john_n 5._o 11._o

to_o help_v the_o error_n and_o defect_n of_o prayer_n our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v give_v we_o a_o direction_n how_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o cyprian_n say_v he_o who_o have_v give_v life_n have_v also_o teach_v we_o how_o to_o pray_v divine_n cyprian_a show_v that_o the_o inward_a intent_n without_o the_o action_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o action_n itself_o for_o though_o the_o action_n be_v

the_o manner_n of_o perform_v it_o be_v not_o god_n do_v by_o the_o prophet_n reprehend_v it_o so_o 1_o chron._n 15._o 13._o david_n 13._o action_n be_v good_a when_o he_o seek_v to_o bring_v up_o

of_o prayer_n to_o entreat_v god_n with_o his_o own_o word_n when_o any_o one_o pray_v the_o lord_n know_v the_o word_n of_o his_o son_n so_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o please_v christ_n

for_o christ_n he_o direct_v 〈◊〉_d we_o to_o pray_v unto_o our_o heavenly_a father_n thus_o we_o must_v pray_v unto_o none_o but_o he_o see_v by_o christ_n own_o rule_n we_o be_v direct_v unto_o god_n

unto_o he_o of_o which_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v prayer_n direct_v only_o to_o himself_o only_o first_o that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o immediate_a dependence_n upon_o god_n and_o not_o depend_v upon_o any_o creature_n or_o any_o power_n 55._o of_o angel_n but_o upon_o god_n only_o be_v carry_v by_o immediate_a relation_n unto_o god_n as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v so_o saint_n augustine_n show_v there_o be_v no_o intermediate_v nature_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n and_o so_o conclude_v that_o we_o have_v but_o one_o god_n almighty_a to_o pray_v to_o only_o second_o god_n will_v have_v all_o prayer_n direct_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o only_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o goodness_n and_o the_o spring_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n for_o howsoever_o by_o his_o servant_n and_o other_o mean_n other_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n be_v convey_v unto_o we_o we_o yet_o in_o prayer_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o go_v unto_o he_o as_o

unto_o the_o great_a wheel_n to_o deal_v with_o it_o to_o order_v all_o the_o rest_n so_o because_o god_n be_v the_o great_a wheel_n of_o this_o world_n upon_o who_o motion_n all_o other_o do_v depend_v sensible_a and_o insensible_a earthly_a and_o heavenly_a if_o in_o our_o first_o labour_n we_o make_v our_o stay_n upon_o god_n there_o will_v quick_o be_v a_o stay_n in_o any_o of_o the_o

further_o than_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o work_v by_o they_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v we_o likewise_o to_o go_v only_o unto_o the_o lord_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o principal_a agent_n and_o workman_n for_o our_o good_a use._n now_o if_o all_o prayer_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v unto_o god_n alone_o then_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a to_o pray_v to_o

what_o affection_n and_o etc._n for_o this_o be_v all_o the_o holy_a father_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v with_o what_o affection_n we_o must_v pray_v which_o may_v be_v see_v by_o the_o two_o

may_v teach_v we_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v in_o faith_n in_o that_o be_v with_o a_o assure_a trust_n and_o confidence_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v for_o if_o god_n be_v our_o father_n we_o need_v never_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v find_v love_v and_o fatherly_a affection_n in_o he_o for_o there_o be_v no_o father_n so_o ready_a to_o hear_v the_o request_n of_o his_o child_n as_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o hear_v we_o in_o all_o our_o desire_n so_o he_o say_v 2_o cor._n 6._o ult._n i_o will_v not_o only_o say_v ult._n god_n take_v the_o title_n upon_o i_o and_o

can_v have_v as_o the_o lord_n will_v hear_v we_o so_o upon_o this_o ground_n we_o must_v pray_v unto_o he_o in_o faith_n that_o be_v with_o a_o full_a assurance_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v when_o we_o pray_v thus_o we_o have_v it_o jam._n 1._o 6._o if_o any_o man_n ask_v in_o 24._o faith_n he_o shall_v receive_v and_o christ_n himself_o say_v mark_v 11._o 24._o whatsoever_o you_o ask_v in_o prayer_n believe_v and_o you_o shall_v obtain_v it_o object_n but_o now_o here_o arise_v a_o objection_n how_o can_v we_o ask_v and_o pray_v in_o faith_n that_o be_v with_o a_o sound_a comfort_n and_o assurance_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v see_v many_o time_n the_o lord_n give_v not_o to_o his_o dear_a child_n that_o which_o they_o pray_v for_o ans._n i_o answer_v as_o augustine_n say_v augustine_n non_fw-fr audit_n dominus_fw-la ad_fw-la voluntatem_fw-la nostram_fw-la etc._n etc._n god_n do_v not_o always_o hear_v according_a to_o our_o will_n but_o in_o that_o he_o know_v to_o be_v best_a and_o meet_a for_o us._n as_o when_o a_o chirurgeon_n lay_v a_o corrosive_n corrosive_n or_o a_o burn_a iron_n to_o a_o sore_n the_o patient_a feeling_n it_o to_o smart_v cry_v out_o and_o will_v have_v it_o remove_v the_o chirurgeon_n hear_v he_o but_o let_v it_o tarry_v and_o the_o patient_n lie_v still_o he_o hear_v he_o to_o his_o health_n and_o recovery_n so_o say_v another_o mother_n rub_v their_o child_n there_o for_o their_o love_n health_n although_o they_o roar_v and_o cry_v again_o yet_o for_o all_o
that_o they_o do_v not_o spare_v they_o and_o why_o it_o be_v for_o their_o health_n etc._n etc._n so_o must_v we_o think_v and_o conceive_v that_o when_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v or_o grant_v our_o request_n he_o hear_v so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v for_o our_o good_a though_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v we_o to_o our_o will_n for_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o be_v hear_v according_a to_o our_o desire_n because_o thus_o christ_n hear_v the_o devil_n when_o he_o suffer_v he_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o hear_v of_o swine_n or_o we_o may_v say_v thus_o this_o be_v not_o the_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v hear_v according_a to_o our_o will_n but_o this_o to_o be_v hear_v for_o our_o profit_n when_o god_n give_v we_o that_o only_o which_o be_v best_a for_o us._n in_o second_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v in_o love_n for_o christ_n instruct_v we_o to_o say_v our_o father_n will_v teach_v we_o love_n and_o charity_n that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o but_o also_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o brethren_n for_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v a_o part_n in_o our_o prayer_n so_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n have_v do_v before_o we_o david_n say_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n 6._o peace_n be_v within_o thy_o wall_n and_o prosperity_n within_o thy_o palace_n he_o pray_v god_n to_o hear_v the_o prayer_n which_o he_o make_v speak_v 20._o and_o pray_v and_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n whereupon_o a_o angel_n come_v fly_v unto_o he_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n thus_o by_o the_o 16._o rule_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o in_o faith_n but_o for_o our_o brethren_n also_o in_o love_n and_o compassion_n and_o fellow_n feel_v of_o the_o want_n &_o need_v one_o of_o another_o when_o many_o ship_n trade_n and_o

good_a of_o the_o country_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n some_o pray_v for_o one_o thing_n some_o for_o another_o some_o for_o grace_n some_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n some_o for_o peace_n of_o conscience_n some_o for_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o yet_o all_o in_o the_o end_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o duty_n of_o they_o that_o pray_v but_o first_o i_o must_v a_o little_a enlarge_v myself_o in_o the_o former_a of_o faith_n and_o love_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v touch_v before_o i'faith_o be_v a_o

further_o i_o will_v show_v two_o ground_n of_o faith_n 1_o a_o persuasion_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o he_o can_v 2_o a_o persuasion_n of_o god_n willingness_n that_o he_o will_v help_v us._n for_o if_o we_o doubt_v either_o of_o his_o power_n that_o he_o can_v or_o his_o will_n that_o he_o will_v not_o help_v we_o though_o he_o be_v able_a we_o can_v never_o pray_v in_o faith_n that_o be_v with_o undoubted_a assurance_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v us._n and_o because_o the_o great_a question_n be_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o not_o many_o especial_o among_o christian_n i_o suppose_v doubt_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n christ_n first_o resolve_v and_o settle_v we_o in_o that_o point_n and_o show_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o because_o he_o be_v our_o father_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v a_o most_o fatherly_a affection_n in_o he_o that_o no_o father_n shall_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o hear_v the_o request_n of_o his_o child_n as_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v to_o hear_v we_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o pray_v for_o so_o that_o this_o be_v one_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n not_o to_o think_v we_o come_v unto_o god_n as_o unto_o a_o strange_a that_o do_v not_o respect_n or_o regard_v we_o in_o our_o need_n but_o we_o come_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o father_n and_o one_o that_o do_v love_v we_o tender_v we_o and_o will_v be_v as_o ready_a

now_o this_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o take_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n away_o with_o the_o punishment_n and_o penalty_n due_a unto_o it_o but_o the_o corruption_n of_o it_o also_o this_o be_v our_o desire_n other_o indeed_o be_v well_o enough_o content_a to_o have_v their_o sin_n pardon_v but_o to_o have_v they_o mortify_v restrain_v weaken_a and_o the_o

pray_v for_o sanctification_n which_o also_o must_v be_v our_o care_n through_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n so_o much_o of_o the_o connexion_n the_o petition_n itself_o have_v two_o branch_n in_o

temptation_n obserueable_a which_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n 1_o of_o trial_n and_o tentation_n to_o sin_n 2_o of_o sickness_n and_o disease_n tentation_n be_v any_o present_a provocation_n or_o inclination_n to_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o bait_n lay_v by_o the_o devil_n or_o our_o own_o flesh_n against_o us._n when_o we_o pray_v therefore_o not_o to_o be_v lead_v into_o tentation_n we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v not_o have_v any_o provocation_n or_o enticement_n to_o sin_n that_o may_v overcome_v or_o entrap_v we_o in_o lead_v we_o from_o that_o love_n

request_n first_o in_o that_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o be_v lead_v into_o tentation_n here_o be_v a_o close_a confession_n that_o our_o sin_n deserve_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v just_o leave_v we_o unto_o the_o will_n and_o power_n of_o temptatation_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o gentile_n rom._n 1._o 24._o wherefore_o 24._o also_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o heart_n lust_n to_o

may_v be_v save_v for_o this_o cause_n god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v a_o lie_n so_o that_o god_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n give_v we_o up_o to_o our_o sin_n make_v one_o sin_n the_o punishment_n of_o another_o this_o the_o lord_n show_v plain_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o vineyard_n isaiah_n 5._o 6._o for_o so_o also_o a_o man_n that_o have_v vineyard_n a_o vineyard_n as_o long_o as_o it_o bear_v well_o he_o will_v fence_v it_o weed_v it_o and_o hedge_v it_o that_o no_o hurt_n come_v unto_o it_o but_o if_o it_o grow_v barren_a and_o

let_v in_o hog_n and_o swine_n yet_o do_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n come_v in_o upon_o it_o and_o blind_v and_o harden_v we_o more_o and_o more_o by_o reason_n that_o we_o have_v abuse_v the_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o the_o lord_n first_o bestow_v upon_o us._n the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o confession_n be_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o prone_a to_o yield_v unto_o temptation_n wherefore_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o justice_n may_v give_v we_o up_o to_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o which_o cause_n we_o pray_v that_o we_o

first_o than_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o itself_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v a_o holy_a name_n among_o us._n the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v most_o holy_a in_o itself_o but_o

first_o we_o pray_v here_o that_o we_o may_v glorify_v for_o the_o name_n of_o god_n any_o way_n whatsoever_o that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o glory_n by_o we_o which_o must_v be_v three_o way_n 1_o

say_v he_o for_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n ult._n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n first_o we_o must_v inward_o acknowledge_v

with_o our_o mouth_n both_o by_o mouth_n speak_v reverent_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o by_o confess_v the_o lord_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o justice_n in_o all_o his_o work_n for_o although_o the_o shepherd_n be_v abash_v to_o find_v christ_n in_o a_o manger_n the_o king_n of_o king_n in_o so_o poor_a shepherd_n a_o estate_n yet_o they_o return_v to_o their_o flock_n and_o fold_n and_o

to_o the_o field_n acknowledge_v the_o lord_n kindness_n and_o mercy_n in_o it_o yea_o what_o ever_o chance_n though_o it_o be_v loss_n and_o correction_n yet_o we_o must_v say_v as_o job_n do_v in_o

confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n that_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n three_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o life_n that_o we_o may_v so_o live_v as_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v glory_n and_o honour_n by_o we_o life_n and_o no_o disgrace_n for_o our_o good_a life_n be_v a_o honour_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o christ_n himself_o say_v math._n 5._o 16._o let_v your_o 16._o light_n so_o

say_v the_o apostle_n for_o the_o 24._o name_n of_o god_n be_v blaspeme_v among_o the_o gentile_n through_o you_o o_o then_o let_v we_o all_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o that_o we_o tender_v the_o

our_o gross_a and_o presumptuous_a sin_n for_o our_o help_n herein_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o may_v 14._o quicken_v we_o to_o this_o duty_n and_o care_n first_o to_o consider_v that_o

therefore_o now_o see_v that_o all_o creature_n not_o only_o most_o noble_a as_o angel_n and_o spirit_n but_o the_o very_o low_a and_o mean_a yea_o the_o insensible_a creature_n give_v glory_n to_o

how_o often_o shall_v man_n much_o more_o meditate_v then_o and_o practice_v the_o same_o second_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o glorify_v god_n he_o will_v glorify_v we_o we_o can_v be_v so_o

in_o this_o world_n how_o can_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o will_v glorify_v we_o after_o our_o departure_n hence_o three_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n will_v severe_o punish_v the_o contempt_n of_o his_o glory_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n that_o he_o do_v more_o tender_a than_o his_o glory_n for_o which_o he_o command_v his_o people_n thus_o thou_o shall_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n to_o another_o yea_o see_v for_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n how_o severe_o he_o punish_v his_o people_n who_o carcase_n all_o perish_v in_o the_o wilderness_n because_o they_o do_v

have_v no_o man_n to_o perish_v but_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v come_v unto_o repentance_n so_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n that_o how_o soever_o we_o can_v do_v our_o duty_n live_v as_o we_o shall_v yet_o always_o to_o grieve_v at_o our_o heart_n be_v wound_v in_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o can_v do_v as_o we_o ought_v they_o say_v that_o wound_n which_o bleed_v will_v the_o soon_o wound_n heal_v but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o grievous_a wound_n and_o do_v not_o bleed_v there_o do_v usual_o

but_o when_o no_o remorse_n or_o repentance_n follow_v for_o sin_n which_o offend_v god_n this_o be_v very_o dangerous_a second_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n 23._o as_o 1_o john_n 5._o 23._o this_o be_v the_o commandment_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n for_o though_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o infinite_o guilty_a

be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v a_o sanctify_a and_o a_o heavenly_a life_n here_o in_o this_o world_n as_o 1_o thes._n 4._o 3._o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o our_o sanctification_n for_o because_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v among_o we_o and_o remain_v with_o we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o forsake_v our_o sin_n and_o keep_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n as_o a_o pure_a temple_n for_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o dwell_v in_o for_o if_o balteshazzar_n be_v so_o severe_o punish_v for_o abuse_v the_o vessel_n of_o the_o temple_n dedicate_v unto_o god_n what_o shall_v we_o be_v if_o we_o defile_v and_o contaminate_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n four_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o bear_v patient_o and_o quiet_o all_o the_o

will_n of_o god_n you_o see_v we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v do_v it_o in_o earth_n as_o they_o do_v it_o in_o heaven_n that_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n and_o bless_a spirit_n do_v it_o which_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o in_o all_o duty_n the_o manner_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o regard_n of_o grateful_a

the_o mount_n this_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o in_o the_o last_o clause_n of_o this_o petition_n in_o which_o two_o thing_n be_v especial_o to_o be_v consider_v 1_o why_o the_o lord_n fetch_v we_o a_o pattern_n from_o heaven_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o good_a man_n in_o this_o world_n 2_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o angel_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o first_o there_o be_v four_o special_a reason_n of_o it_o why_o the_o lord_n fetch_v we_o a_o pattern_n from_o heaven_n rather_o than_o from_o earth_n first_o because_o a_o rare_a example_n do_v most_o move_v

because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o rarity_n of_o good_a example_n in_o this_o world_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n send_v we_o as_o far_o as_o heaven_n to_o take_v our_o example_n from_o thence_o as_o mariner_n on_o the_o sea_n who_o be_v mariner_n always_o guide_v by_o the_o star_n because_o they_o want_v in_o the_o sea_n firm_a mark_n to_o direct_v they_o home_o to_o their_o own_o country_n so_o must_v we_o do_v because_o we_o want_v firm_a and_o sure_a example_n in_o this_o world_n to_o raise_v up_o our_o thought_n by_o into_o heaven_n and_o mount_v we_o beyond_o the_o cloud_n we_o must_v take_v our_o pattern_n from_o those_o bless_a spirit_n and_o power_n that_o continual_o do_v serve_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o second_o be_v because_o those_o few_o example_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o pure_a and_o perfect_a but_o have_v their_o defect_n saint_n paul_n as_o i_o have_v say_v liken_v the_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n to_o the_o cloud_n that_o lead_v the_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n which_o have_v two_o part_n one_o bright_a another_o dark_a somewhat_o to_o be_v follow_v somewhat_o to_o be_v decline_v now_o because_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v such_o that_o we_o be_v more_o prone_a to_o imitate_v evil_a then_o good_a to_o follow_v david_n in_o his_o sin_n rather_o than_o in_o his_o tear_n to_o follow_v peter_n in_o denial_n of_o christ_n rather_o than_o in_o his_o repentance_n therefore_o to_o help_v this_o our_o saviour_n christ_n direct_v we_o to_o the_o example_n of_o holy_a angel_n which_o be_v pure_a and_o perfect_a three_o because_o these_o earthly_a example_n be_v but_o of_o man_n terrestrial_a like_a unto_o ourselves_o but_o angel_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a spirit_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n and_o

the_o will_n of_o god_n then_o much_o more_o we_o that_o be_v man_n much_o mean_a and_o low_a than_o they_o be_v saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n when_o he_o bring_v his_o first_o beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n he_o say_v let_v all_o 6._o the_o angel_n of_o god_n worship_v he_o why_o give_v he_o such_o a_o charge_n unto_o angel_n be_v there_o any_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v ready_a to_o stoop_v and_o do_v service_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o answer_n must_v be_v that_o it_o be_v especial_o to_o raise_v up_o man_n to_o do_v the_o like_a that_o if_o the_o most_o noble_a spirit_n of_o god_n fall_n and_o sink_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n then_o much_o more_o we_o that_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n wormsmeat_n and_o wretched_a man_n must_v be_v

the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o do_v the_o more_o incite_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o be_v like_o they_o four_o that_o we_o may_v make_v our_o conversation_n heavenly_a while_o we_o be_v

point_n which_o most_o of_o the_o world_n know_v not_o they_o think_v that_o if_o they_o have_v bread_n in_o their_o house_n and_o table_n all_o be_v safe_a they_o need_v not_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o

from_o his_o mouth_n this_o will_v make_v we_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o pray_v hearty_o unto_o god_n to_o bless_v our_o bread_n and_o to_o give_v it_o three_o by_o what_o right_o we_o demand_v our_o

upon_o his_o blessing_n which_o teach_v we_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o see_v we_o be_v worthy_a of_o nothing_o we_o therefore_o acknowledge_v the_o lord_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n in_o it_o that_o

so_o then_o against_o the_o papist_n we_o see_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o confess_v all_o our_o sin_n unto_o any_o but_o unto_o god_n only_o as_o in_o the_o story_n of_o manasses_n we_o see_v in_o

of_o his_o father_n so_o than_o if_o they_o be_v secret_a sin_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o confess_v they_o unto_o god_n only_o whereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o papist_n opinion_n be_v false_a

the_o priest_n so_o that_o every_o man_n though_o god_n heal_v he_o and_o cleanse_v he_o upon_o his_o confession_n yet_o he_o be_v also_o bind_v to_o show_v himself_o unto_o the_o priest_n answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o papist_n in_o this_o place_n do_v allege_v 1._o scripture_n against_o christ_n mat._n 8._o 4._o to_o pervert_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o word_n say_v not_o confitere_fw-la te_fw-la go_v and_o confess_v thyself_o to_o the_o priest_n but_o ostende_v te_o show_v thyself_o to_o the_o priest_n second_o christ_n meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v therefore_o show_v himself_o unto_o the_o priest_n to_o let_v he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v cleanse_v and_o heal_v from_o his_o leprosy_n and_o be_v now_o free_a from_o the_o pollution_n thereof_o christ_n say_v ostende_v te_fw-mi quia_fw-la sanatuse_n show_v thyself_o because_o thou_o be_v make_v whole_a they_o do_v wrest_v the_o meaning_n thus_o shewthy_a self_n because_o thou_o be_v pollute_v three_o christ_n send_v he_o to_o the_o priest_n only_o in_o case_n of_o leprosy_n that_o be_v of_o know_a pollution_n but_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o christ_n send_v he_o to_o the_o priest_n for_o to_o confess_v his_o sin_n whatsoever_o four_o christ_n send_v he_o unto_o the_o priest_n because_o of_o the_o 2._o precept_n of_o moses_n levit._n 14._o 2._o where_o god_n have_v enjoin_v it_o christ_n send_v he_o but_o they_o will_v have_v he_o to_o perform_v a_o ordinary_a duty_n object_n 2_o the_o second_o place_n they_o do_v allege_v be_v out_o of_o s._n james_n 16._o 5._o 16._o confess_v your_o fault_n to_o one_o another_o and_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o answ._n 1_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o place_n do_v not_o bind_v we_o to_o confess_v unto_o a_o priest_n it_o as_o much_o bind_v the_o priest_n to_o confess_v unto_o we_o because_o this_o duty_n speak_v of_o by_o saint_n james_n be_v a_o reciprocal_a duty_n confess_v your_o sin_n to_o one_o another_o second_o this_o confession_n saint_n james_n speak_v of_o be_v only_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o distress_n without_o examination_n and_o free_o and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o sin_n only_o as_o can_v be_v heal_v by_o ourselves_o three_o the_o heal_v that_o saint_n james_n speak_v of_o be_v by_o prayer_n but_o the_o heal_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v by_o substantial_a absolution_n and_o so_o the_o popish_a confession_n can_v be_v mean_v here_o in_o this_o place_n so_o that_o this_o argument_n stand_v good_a against_o they_o that_o our_o secret_a sin_n against_o god_n be_v not_o of_o necessity_n to_o be_v confess_v but_o unto_o god_n only_o but_o if_o they_o be_v know_v sin_n against_o god_n than_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o repent_v of_o they_o before_o god_n but_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o repent_v of_o they_o before_o man_n also_o so_o we_o see_v the_o prophet_n david_n after_o his_o fall_n he_o do_v not_o only_o repent_v of_o his_o sin_n before_o god_n but_o also_o he_o make_v psal._n 51._o a_o penitential_a psalm_n as_o the_o father_n have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o monument_n and_o testimonial_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n so_o likewise_o st._n paul_n 1._o cor._n 15._o he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v a_o apostle_n because_o i_o do_v persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n so_o 15._o as_o his_o sin_n be_v make_v manifest_a in_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n his_o repentance_n be_v make_v manifest_a and_o know_v unto_o all_o so_o then_o this_o case_n be_v clear_a that_o know_v and_o open_a sin_n be_v to_o be_v confess_v not_o only_o unto_o god_n but_o also_o unto_o man_n that_o as_o they_o have_v knowledge_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o they_o may_v have_v of_o our_o repentance_n and_o that_o we_o be_v change_v into_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o as_o man_n do_v know_v of_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o may_v they_o of_o our_o repentance_n the_o second_o be_v that_o as_o we_o have_v do_v hurt_v to_o our_o brethren_n by_o our_o bad_a example_n in_o sin_v against_o god_n and_o draw_v other_o by_o the_o same_o example_n to_o do_v so_o also_o so_o far_o we_o shall_v by_o our_o outward_a example_n of_o outward_a confession_n and_o repentance_n draw_v man_n unto_o god_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o abimelech_n gen._n 8._o 20._o 8._o do_v tell_v his_o servant_n that_o which_o god_n have_v in_o a_o dream_n reveal_v unto_o he_o that_o as_o many_o as_o know_v of_o his_o sin_n in_o take_v away_o abraham_n wife_n may_v know_v of_o his_o repentance_n because_o as_o he_o have_v do_v hurt_v by_o his_o bad_a example_n of_o sin_v so_o he_o may_v again_o salve_v that_o sore_a by_o his_o repent_v he_o may_v have_v carry_v the_o matter_n close_o and_o secret_o that_o none_o may_v have_v know_v it_o but_o we_o see_v he_o do_v reveal_v it_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v know_v sin_n the_o second_o sort_n of_o sin_n be_v against_o our_o brethren_n and_o they_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1._o there_o be_v some_o sin_n which_o one_o may_v commit_v against_o a_o man_n which_o do_v not_o hurt_v he_o or_o endamage_v he_o as_o to_o think_v a_o evil_a thought_n against_o he_o these_o sin_n we_o be_v to_o confess_v unto_o god_n only_o because_o he_o only_o know_v they_o and_o be_v offend_v for_o they_o 2._o some_o sin_n again_o there_o be_v that_o do_v hurt_v they_o and_o they_o do_v receive_v damage_n by_o they_o of_o which_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n first_o some_o be_v such_o as_o we_o know_v not_o to_o be_v sin_n and_o such_o as_o we_o have_v forget_v and_o can_v call_v to_o our_o mind_n to_o remember_v they_o for_o which_o sin_n a_o general_a
