to_o remove_v the_o other_o example_n hereof_o we_o have_v in_o scripture_n for_o of_o the_o ninevite_n we_o read_v that_o when_o god_n have_v threaten_v 3.4_o threaten_v jon._n 3.4_o yet_o forty_o

example_n of_o ezrah_n for_o he_o and_o his_o countryman_n the_o man_n of_o judah_n be_v to_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n from_o babylon_n the_o place_n of_o their_o captivity_n and_o many_o let_v

which_o he_o desire_v be_v that_o god_n will_v direct_v they_o and_o lead_v they_o in_o a_o right_a way_n in_o safety_n and_o without_o danger_n and_o the_o mean_n that_o he_o use_v to_o obtain_v

and_o he_o be_v entreat_v by_o us._n and_o to_o like_a purpose_n it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n when_o they_o be_v to_o send_v paul_n and_o barnabas_n about_o the_o work_n of_o the_o

our_o 4.2_o our_o mar._n 4.2_o lord_n himself_o be_v to_o enter_v upon_o his_o prophetical_a office_n begin_v with_o fast_v and_o thereby_o prepare_v himself_o for_o that_o glorious_a work_n as_o may_v appear_v hereafter_o more_o full_o in_o the_o proper_a place_n by_o all_o which_o we_o may_v see_v what_o commodity_n and_o benefit_n we_o may_v reap_v by_o this_o exercise_n not_o only_o for_o our_o soul_n &_o our_o spiritual_a profit_n but_o for_o our_o body_n also_o and_o our_o welfare_n in_o the_o world_n and_o hence_o for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n i_o deduce_v and_o infer_v three_o advertisement_n for_o our_o further_a use_n 1._o we_o may_v hence_o observe_v one_o special_a reason_n why_o we_o be_v many_o time_n afflict_v and_o after_o long_a grief_n find_v little_a ease_n and_o it_o may_v be_v because_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o our_o sin_n before_o we_o beg_v mercy_n or_o if_o we_o use_v some_o kind_n of_o repentance_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o with_o that_o sorrow_n &_o such_o chasten_n of_o ourselves_o as_o god_n do_v expect_v and_o the_o case_n do_v require_v for_o in_o scripture_n we_o find_v that_o god_n people_n if_o either_o they_o feel_v any_o present_a scourge_n or_o fear_v any_o future_a danger_n than_o they_o betake_v themselves_o present_o to_o their_o prayer_n and_o fast_v and_o sackcloth_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o have_v get_v victory_n over_o enemy_n and_o relief_n in_o time_n of_o dearth_n and_o freedom_n from_o intend_a mischief_n and_o case_n and_o comfort_n in_o all_o case_n of_o distress_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v use_v the_o same_o mean_n why_o may_v we_o not_o expect_v the_o same_o success_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o abraham_n faith_n 24._o faith_n rom._n 4.23_o 24._o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n add_v that_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o his_o sake_n alone_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o but_o for_o we_o also_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o we_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n our_o lord_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v of_o the_o many_o example_n of_o god_n judgement_n upon_o sinner_n that_o 11._o that_o 1_o cor._n 10.6_o 11._o these_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o for_o example_n and_o be_v write_v for_o our_o admonition_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o lust_n after_o evil_a thing_n as_o they_o lust_v and_o so_o see_v such_o thing_n be_v record_v in_o scripture_n concern_v fast_v we_o may_v and_o must_v conclude_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o write_v for_o those_o ancient_a servant_n of_o god_n only_o that_o they_o by_o this_o mean_v obtain_v such_o great_a blessing_n but_o for_o our_o sake_n also_o and_o to_o admonish_v we_o that_o if_o we_o use_v the_o same_o mean_n we_o shall_v attain_v the_o same_o end_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o of_o we_o have_v be_v long_o afflict_v and_o yet_o be_v not_o deliver_v let_v we_o consider_v whether_o we_o have_v not_o be_v defective_a in_o this_o duty_n and_o for_o want_v of_o humiliation_n have_v miss_v of_o the_o blessing_n sure_o if_o we_o find_v not_o ease_v either_o we_o have_v not_o humble_v ourselves_o as_o we_o shall_v or_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o desire_v be_v no_o such_o blessing_n to_o we_o as_o we_o do_v imagine_v 2._o we_o may_v from_o hence_o learn_v how_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n powerful_a with_o god_n for_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o ask_v and_o have_v tie_v himself_o to_o give_v but_o it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o we_o 5.14_o we_o 1._o joh._n 5.14_o ask_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o ask_v for_o 4.3_o for_o jam._n 4.3_o you_o ask_v &_o receive_v not_o because_o you_o ask_v amiss_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o what_o be_v that_o condition_n that_o god_n require_v in_o our_o prayer_n and_o how_o may_v we_o ask_v that_o we_o miss_v not_o of_o our_o request_n why_o sure_o one_o mean_n
