open_v our_o eye_n we_o shall_v lift_v they_o up_o to_o heaven_n of_o every_o weighty_a action_n before_o our_o hand_n be_v stretch_v forth_o to_o business_n we_o shall_v elevate_v they_o to_o god_n

petition_n be_v the_o first_o branch_n of_o this_o duty_n which_o consist_v in_o supplication_n prayer_n and_o intercession_n and_o these_o three_o word_n may_v very_o well_o be_v construe_v either_o as_o various_a or_o synonymous_a 1._o look_v upon_o they_o as_o various_a in_o their_o sense_n and_o they_o set_v forth_o those_o three_o part_n whereof_o our_o petition_n to_o god_n must_v consist_v 1._o supplication_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o deprecate_v evil_a whether_o of_o iniquity_n or_o calamity_n the_o remission_n of_o the_o one_o the_o prevention_n and_o remotion_n of_o the_o other_o in_o this_o respect_n after_o st._n paul_n have_v reckon_v up_o several_a piece_n of_o the_o christian_n armour_n he_o close_v with_o this_o as_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o all_o sort_n of_o evil_n which_o we_o either_o feel_v or_o fear_v 2._o prayer_n be_v that_o by_o which_o we_o implore_v those_o good_a thing_n whereof_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n and_o more_o especial_o those_o which_o concern_v our_o eternal_a welfare_n upon_o this_o account_n prayer_n be_v not_o only_o our_o armour_n to_o preserve_v but_o onr_a store-house_n to_o provide_v for_o we_o or_o rather_o the_o key_n which_o open_v the_o store-house_n of_o heaven_n whence_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n come_v 3._o intercession_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o perform_v both_o these_o act_n of_o petition_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o other_o faith_n be_v appropriative_a but_o prayer_n be_v communicative_a that_o as_o a_o hand_n clasp_v this_o as_o a_o hand_n open_a and_o therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v i_o believe_v it_o be_v our_o father_n true_a it_o be_v nulli_fw-la sapit_fw-la qui_fw-la non_fw-la sibi_fw-la sapit_fw-la he_o that_o seldom_o pray_v for_o himself_o will_v hardly_o pray_v for_o other_o and_o as_o our_o charity_n so_o our_o piety_n must_v begin_v at_o home_n but_o it_o must_v not_o end_v there_o we_o must_v love_v other_o and_o pray_v for_o other_o as_o well_o as_o our_o self_n our_o own_o need_n engage_v we_o to_o be_v petitioner_n for_o our_o self_n and_o brotherly_a love_n oblige_v we_o to_o be_v advocate_n for_o other_o indeed_o meritorious_a mediation_n be_v christ_n peculiar_a but_o charitative_a intercession_n be_v our_o duty_n it_o be_v his_o blood_n which_o must_v plead_v for_o we_o all_o but_o yet_o in_o his_o name_n we_o must_v pray_v one_o for_o another_o 2._o look_v upon_o these_o three_o word_n as_o synonymous_a and_o then_o we_o may_v with_o calvin_n conceive_v loc_n that_o these_o multiply_a expression_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n as_o also_o the_o put_v they_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n be_v design_v to_o mind_v we_o of_o the_o frequent_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n that_o it_o must_v not_o be_v do_v once_o but_o often_o daily_o and_o as_o st._n paul_n exhort_v the_o thessalonian_n 19_o continual_o but_o rather_o with_o the_o learned_a cameron_n it_o will_v be_v expedient_a to_o take_v notice_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v signify_v by_o several_a word_n without_o any_o vain_a tautelogie_n whenas_o either_o the_o one_o be_v proper_a and_o the_o other_o figurative_a or_o the_o one_o obscure_a and_o the_o other_o clear_a or_o when_o there_o be_v a_o diversity_n though_o not_o in_o the_o thing_n itself_o yet_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o signification_n and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o every_o one_o of_o these_o word_n represent_v the_o same_o duty_n under_o a_o different_a notion_n according_a to_o the_o several_a derivation_n and_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o
