whatever_o your_o request_n be_v the_o success_n of_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n hence_o we_o find_v that_o when_o any_o of_o god_n saint_n have_v have_v a_o suit_n at_o court_n they_o have_v first_o make_v their_o address_n to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n thus_o nehemiah_n desire_v leave_n and_o help_v from_o the_o king_n to_o rebuild_v jerusalem_n though_o a_o courtier_n and_o favourite_n yet_o will_v not_o seek_v the_o prince_n favour_n in_o this_o affair_n till_o he_o have_v first_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o grant_v he_o mercy_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o man_n neh._n 1._o 11._o prosper_n i_o pray_v thou_o thy_o servant_n this_o day_n and_o grant_v he_o mercy_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o man_n though_o then_o thou_o have_v nothing_o it_o may_v be_v to_o beg_v of_o the_o king_n for_o thyself_o yet_o if_o thou_o be_v one_o that_o care_v for_o the_o prosperity_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o church_n and_o kingdom_n in_o which_o thou_o live_v see_v

this_o duty_n it_o be_v one_o great_a end_n why_o i_o choose_v this_o text_n that_o i_o may_v excite_v and_o provoke_v myself_o and_o you_o faithful_o to_o discharge_v our_o duty_n in_o this_o point_n that_o we_o may_v not_o only_o in_o compliance_n with_o the_o command_n of_o authority_n or_o for_o any_o carnal_a advantage_n pray_v public_o for_o the_o king_n majesty_n but_o that_o we_o may_v do_v
