mission_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o last_o remarkable_a in_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n signify_v the_o effectual_a mean_n make_v use_v of_o for_o the_o publication_n and_o application_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o now_o pray_v what_o argument_n more_o strong_a and_o proper_a and_o likely_a to_o prevail_v with_o our_o lord_n than_o these_o that_o be_v fetch_v from_o all_o the_o signal_n passage_n and_o particularity_n of_o his_o wonderful_a undertake_n wherein_o he_o so_o much_o deny_v himself_o and_o oblige_v we_o and_o for_o the_o effectuate_a whereof_z and_o make_v they_o save_v to_o we_o he_o now_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o what_o do_v we_o more_o therein_o than_o pray_v to_o our_o saviour_n to_o save_o we_o by_o those_o mean_n and_o method_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v manage_v and_o direct_v nay_o do_v not_o they_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n that_o say_v save_v we_o lord_n for_o thy_o name_n be_v sake_n for_o jesus_n christ_n his_o sake_n doubtless_o we_o all_o desire_n that_o so_o great_a contrivance_n and_o undertake_n of_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n that_o so_o much_o cost_n and_o pain_n may_v become_v effectual_a and_o save_v to_o we_o in_o all_o those_o end_n and_o purpose_n for_o which_o they_o be_v intend_v and_o now_o last_o because_o there_o be_v some_o critical_a time_n wherein_o we_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n if_o these_o be_v express_v they_o will_v heighten_v our_o devotion_n and_o make_v this_o part_n of_o the_o prayer_n still_o more_o complete_a there_o be_v i_o say_v four_o critical_a time_n first_o the_o time_n of_o our_o tribulation_n and_o this_o we_o pray_v rather_o to_o be_v deliver_v in_o than_o from_o because_o it_o be_v very_o often_o the_o portion_n of_o they_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o this_o world_n 3.12_o 2_o tim._n 3.12_o to_o suffer_v persecution_n according_a as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o this_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o busy_a with_o and_o against_o we_o and_o use_v both_o his_o craft_n and_o assault_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v more_o special_a assistance_n second_o the_o time_n of_o our_o wealth_n we_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o wealth_n but_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o care_n and_o snare_n and_o temptation_n which_o it_o bring_v along_o with_o it_o and_o in_o this_o time_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n use_v their_o deceit_n against_o we_o and_o so_o often_o prevail_v that_o our_o table_n become_v a_o snare_n to_o we_o and_o our_o friend_n become_v flatterer_n our_o honey_n turn_v to_o poison_n and_o fair_a wether_n do_v we_o more_o harm_n than_o foul_a in_o this_o time_n we_o stand_v least_o upon_o our_o guard_n and_o be_v easy_o surprise_v and_o therefore_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o make_v we_o watchful_a and_o to_o watch_v over_o we_o himself_o and_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o three_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n in_o which_o be_v not_o from_o it_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v for_o at_o this_o hour_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n leave_v we_o but_o then_o the_o devil_n set_v on_o we_o afresh_o and_o will_v make_v we_o if_o he_o can_v despair_n of_o deliverance_n and_o think_v our_o sin_n be_v too_o great_a and_o too_o many_o to_o be_v forgive_v he_o will_v fain_o make_v we_o let_v go_v our_o hold_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o then_o he_o know_v we_o shall_v drop_v into_o his_o bottomless_a pit_n wherefore_o in_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o sick_a we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v o_o lord_n save_o thy_o servant_n which_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o thou_o send_v he_o help_v from_o thy_o holy_a place_n and_o evermore_o mighty_o defend_v he_o let_v the_o enemy_n have_v no_o advantage_n of_o he_o nor_o the_o wicked_a approach_n to_o hurt_v he_o be_v unto_o he_o o_o lord_n a_o strong_a tower_n from_o the_o face_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o afterward_o defend_v he_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o enemy_n renew_v in_o he_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v decay_v by_o the_o fraud_n and_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n four_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o that_o be_v a_o critical_a day_n indeed_o wherein_o it_o may_v be_v the_o devil_n may_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o accuse_v we_o to_o god_n as_o he_o do_v job_n but_o he_o can_v then_o do_v we_o no_o harm_n there_o will_v then_o need_v no_o accuser_n but_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n who_o now_o desire_v to_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o that_o he_o may_v prove_v so_o to_o the_o last_o day_n we_o pray_v beyond_o which_o there_o will_v be_v no_o danger_n nor_o need_v of_o any_o more_o deprecation_n and_o so_o we_o have_v go_v over_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o litany_n deprecation_n i_o proceed_v to_o
