reduce_v to_o the_o several_a head_n of_o this_o form_n which_o though_o it_o contract_v the_o matter_n of_o prayer_n unto_o a_o few_o head_n dispose_v in_o a_o excellent_a order_n yet_o leave_v it_o

supplication_n for_o blessing_n or_o with_o deprecation_n for_o deliverance_n from_o evil_n the_o principal_a thing_n be_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n alone_o with_o a_o upright_a heart_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o we_o may_v be_v accept_v and_o hear_v chap._n ix_o of_o christ_n promise_n to_o the_o apostle_n sect._n 1_o you_o hear_v before_o that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o the_o commission_n grant_v by_o christ_n unto_o his_o apostle_n the_o first_o be_v a_o mandate_n to_o go_v to_o all_o nation_n to_o disciple_v they_o to_o baptize_v they_o disciple_v to_o teach_v they_o baptize_v to_o observe_v all_o his_o commandment_n the_o second_o a_o promise_n of_o which_o i_o will_v now_o speak_v in_o a_o few_o word_n and_o so_o conclude_v and_o we_o must_v observe_v 1._o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n make_v this_o promise_n 2._o the_o word_n of_o the_o promise_n partly_o exprss_v here_o partly_o mark_v 16._o 17_o 18._o there_o be_v several_a reason_n which_o move_v christ_n to_o add_v this_o promise_n for_o 1._o as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n do_v trouble_v they_o much_o so_o do_v his_o departure_n he_o must_v go_v and_o leave_v they_o behind_o he_o he_o be_v their_o dear_a lord_n who_o they_o love_v he_o be_v their_o joy_n their_o solace_n their_o guide_n and_o their_o protector_n and_o to_o part_v with_o he_o go_v near_o their_o heart_n all_o this_o christ_n understand_v and_o therefore_o to_o comfort_v and_o revive_v their_o sink_a spirit_n that_o so_o though_o he_o withdraw_v his_o bodily_a presence_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o go_v on_o with_o the_o work_n he_o add_v this_o promise_n because_o he_o will_v be_v present_a with_o they_o in_o another_o and_o more_o effectual_a way_n 2._o the_o work_n be_v very_o difficult_a and_o seem_v to_o be_v far_o above_o their_o power_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v encounter_v with_o many_o fearful_a enemy_n from_o who_o they_o shall_v suffer_v very_o much_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n will_v oppose_v they_o with_o all_o their_o strength_n lest_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v terrify_v deject_a and_o depsair_a he_o let_v they_o know_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o not_o only_o to_o strengthen_v and_o assist_v they_o but_o to_o preserve_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o great_a danger_n and_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o all_o their_o trouble_n 3._o they_o may_v doubt_v of_o the_o success_n of_o their_o labour_n and_o fear_v lest_o their_o doctrine_n seem_v to_o be_v new_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o receive_a opinion_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n will_v not_o be_v receive_v he_o therefore_o promise_v so_o to_o be_v with_o they_o as_o that_o he_o will_v confirm_v it_o outward_o by_o glorious_a miracle_n and_o make_v it_o effectual_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o end_n sect._n 2._o in_o the_o word_n which_o be_v loe_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v consider_v 1._o the_o person_n to_o who_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v 2._o the_o person_n promise_v 3._o the_o thing_n promise_v 1._o the_o person_n to_o who_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v be_v first_o the_o apostle_n for_o to_o who_o the_o commission_n be_v grant_v to_o they_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o these_o be_v easy_o know_v to_o be_v all_o such_o as_o christ_n intend_v to_o trust_v with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o word_n and_o sacrament_n these_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1._o extraordinary_n 2._o ordinary_a the_o extraordinary_a be_v the_o apostle_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v immediate_o and_o principal_o for_o their_o place_n be_v high_a and_o extraordinary_a their_o power_n great_a and_o of_o large_a extent_n their_o work_n very_o difficult_a their_o suffering_n grievous_a their_o enemy_n many_o potent_a cruel_a these_o must_v lay_v the_o foundation_n and_o plant_v the_o christian_a church_n in_o all_o nation_n confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n preach_v by_o they_o with_o many_o sign_n wonder_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o must_v be_v infallible_a in_o word_n and_o writing_n and_o leave_v their_o doctrine_n upon_o record_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o doctrine_n faith_n and_o life_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n yet_o these_o must_v die_v and_o when_o they_o have_v finish_v rhe_n great_a work_n leave_v the_o world_n and_o the_o church_n which_o they_o have_v plant_v must_v continue_v and_o must_v have_v her_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n who_o must_v dispense_v both_o word_n and_o sacrament_n in_o the_o generation_n follow_v till_o time_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o therefore_o the_o promise_n must_v be_v understand_v as_o make_v to_o all_o their_o lawful_a successor_n in_o the_o ministry_n till_o the_o number_n of_o god_n saint_n be_v make_v up_o for_o what_o can_v those_o do_v except_o christ_n in_o their_o successive_a generation_n be_v with_o they_o how_o shall_v they_o go_v through_o with_o the_o great_a work_n without_o he_o his_o presence_n therefore_o be_v necessary_a unto_o they_o also_o without_o this_o promise_n both_o make_v and_o perform_v unto_o they_o their_o ministry_n can_v be_v successful_a and_o effectual_a for_o the_o conversion_n edification_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o here_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o though_o christ_n promise_v his_o extraordinary_a presence_n to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o his_o ordinary_a presence_n will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o their_o successor_n sect._n 3_o the_o person_n who_o make_v this_o
