objection_n behind_o which_o when_o i_o have_v answer_v i_o have_v do_v for_o a_o distress_a christian_n will_v object_v and_o say_v object_n though_o the_o promise_n be_v rare_a cordial_n and_o

he_o be_v persecute_v by_o saul_n as_o a_o partridge_n upon_o the_o mountain_n he_o be_v drive_v to_o that_o extremity_n that_o he_o begin_v to_o doubt_v of_o god_n promise_n and_o to_o say_v that_o

will_v wait_v god_n time_n which_o be_v the_o fit_a and_o best_a time_n he_o will_v patient_o expect_v till_o god_n fulfil_v his_o promise_n he_o will_v do_v as_o the_o martyr_n do_v who_o may_v have_v escape_v private_o out_o of_o prison_n and_o be_v tempt_v to_o it_o by_o his_o friend_n but_o answer_v he_o will_v not_o go_v out_o of_o prison_n when_o his_o enemy_n will_v have_v he_o for_o

he_o be_v almighty_a and_o able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v promise_v he_o be_v infinite_o wise_a to_o know_v the_o best_a time_n and_o season_n and_o infinite_o good_a and_o love_a to_o

he_o be_v 24._o be_v ready_a to_o be_v drown_v when_o there_o be_v neither_o sun-light_n nor_o starlight_n yet_o he_o be_v exceed_o cheerful_a because_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o preserve_v he_o and_o those_o with_o he_o by_o live_v this_o life_n god_n be_v much_o honour_v and_o our_o soul_n much_o quiet_v and_o refresh_v 3_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o continue_v pray_v till_o providence_n

and_o to_o kiss_v one_o another_o for_o as_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o rule_v of_o our_o prayer_n so_o our_o prayer_n be_v the_o divine_a way_n and_o mean_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o promise_n i_o say_v as_o the_o promise_n be_v 1_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o prayer_n for_o we_o can_v pray_v in_o faith_n unless_o we_o have_v some_o promise_n to_o bottom_n our_o prayer_n upon_o therefore_o david_n often_o charge_v god_n in_o his_o prayer_n with_o his_o promise_n 149._o he_o harp_v eight_o time_n upon_o the_o same_o string_n in_o one_o psalm_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o great_a rhetoric_n and_o oratory_n we_o can_v use_v in_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o urge_v god_n with_o his_o promise_n 2_o they_o be_v not_o only_o the_o ground_n but_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o prayer_n as_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o nothing_o but_o what_o god_n have_v promise_v so_o we_o must_v regulate_v our_o prayer_n according_a to_o god_n promise_n those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v absolute_o promise_v we_o must_v pray_v for_o absolute_o and_o where_o god_n have_v put_v condition_n and_o exception_n there_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v conditional_a now_o as_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o rule_v of_o our_o prayer_n so_o our_o prayer_n be_v divine_a mean_n and_o help_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o promise_n though_o god_n have_v make_v many_o glorious_a and_o precious_a promise_n to_o his_o child_n yet_o he_o will_v perform_v none_o of_o they_o but_o to_o those_o who_o by_o prayer_n seek_v they_o at_o his_o hand_n when_o nathan_n tell_v david_n what_o great_a thing_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o he_o he_o go_v into_o god_n house_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o 2_o sam._n 7._o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n mention_v a_o glorious_a promise_n isa._n 43._o 25._o
