worldly_a torture_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o death_n therewith_o he_o will_v be_v content_v but_o it_o be_v yet_o a_o more_o fearful_a thing_n when_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o all_o these_o and_o more_o

mat._n 10._o 28._o but_o i_o know_v every_o one_o will_v subscribe_v unto_o i_o and_o say_v that_o they_o fear_v he_o above_o all_o when_o as_o this_o fear_n be_v such_o a_o weak_a damp_n that_o it_o

majesty_n yea_o although_o there_o be_v a_o unmeasurable_a judgement_n hang_v over_o your_o head_n therefore_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o must_v rule_v you_o and_o the_o judge_n that_o must_v try_v

in_o sunder_o &_o fear_v you_o not_o this_o therefore_o with_o all_o speed_n look_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o humble_o as_o petitioner_n pray_v unto_o he_o as_o mournful_o as_o prisoner_n tremble_v

lord_n service_n then_o must_v we_o say_v that_o all_o hard_a heart_a miser_n wicked_a mind_a ruffian_n fickle_a brain_a yoongling_n and_o wind-wavering_a woman_n which_o have_v rather_o be_v play_v

the_o world_n and_o do_v break_v forth_o into_o word_n for_o the_o same_o then_o turn_v thy_o complaint_n into_o prayer_n or_o else_o it_o be_v but_o a_o murmur_a against_o god_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o moses_n and_o aaron_n for_o it_o be_v by_o prayer_n we_o make_v our_o sorrowful_a heart_n know_v to_o god_n and_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o lord_n privy_a chamber_n this_o duty_n also_o we_o may_v see_v neglect_v in_o our_o time_n for_o man_n be_v never_o more_o apt_a to_o complain_v of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o world_n of_o the_o want_n of_o corn_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o war_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o rich_a and_o of_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o proud_a but_o they_o be_v but_o word_n for_o they_o turn_v not_o themselves_o to_o prayer_n to_o show_v god_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v know_v therefore_o my_o dear_a brethren_n that_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o in_o this_o world_n as_o he_o leave_v job_n servant_n for_o still_o one_o of_o they_o come_v to_o tell_v his_o master_n what_o have_v happen_v so_o we_o must_v often_o use_v to_o pray_v and_o to_o complain_v on_o ourselves_o and_o on_o other_o man_n for_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n god_n be_v faithful_a that_o he_o will_v pardon_v they_o but_o if_o we_o judge_v not_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v of_o god._n the_o reason_n 1._o of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v these_o first_o because_o god_n forget_v not_o the_o complaint_n of_o the_o poor_a psal_n 9_o 11._o 12._o meaning_n of_o they_o that_o pray_v unto_o he_o otherwise_o he_o remember_v no_o more_o the_o poor_a man_n envy_n than_o the_o rich_a man_n quarrel_n therefore_o let_v this_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o make_v our_o complaint_n in_o prayer_n as_o we_o read_v ezechiah_n do_v isa_n 37._o when_o rabsakeh_n have_v blaspheme_v on_o the_o name_n of_o god_n oh_o that_o man_n be_v as_o ready_a to_o pray_v as_o they_o be_v to_o complain_v for_o they_o can_v easy_o multiply_v many_o word_n to_o accuse_v other_o man_n and_o they_o may_v as_o easy_o find_v word_n and_o matter_n to_o complain_v unto_o god_n for_o as_o a_o inferior_a subject_n must_v always_o sue_v to_o his_o prince_n by_o petition_n so_o must_v we_o always_o make_v know_v all_o our_o desire_n unto_o god_n by_o supplication_n again_o when_o man_n do_v only_o complain_v of_o this_o or_o that_o want_n without_o 2_o prayer_n they_o tempt_v god_n as_o we_o may_v see_v num._n 11._o 4._o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v obtain_v any_o thing_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n to_o our_o good_a let_v we_o ask_v by_o prayer_n for_o although_o we_o murmur_v for_o rain_n and_o drought_n and_o peace_n and_o wealth_n and_o such_o like_a and_o god_n give_v it_o to_o we_o as_o he_o give_v the_o israelite_n quail_n yet_o we_o be_v better_o want_v it_o for_o it_o shall_v in_o the_o end_n turn_v to_o our_o discomfort_n as_o they_o do_v let_v we_o from_o hence_o learn_v to_o ask_v of_o god_n without_o murmur_v or_o grudge_v at_o our_o own_o 1_o estate_n or_o the_o lord_n hand_n hos_n 7._o 14_o 15._o for_o the_o lord_n will_v complain_v as_o fast_o on_o we_o as_o we_o complain_v to_o he_o have_v thou_o any_o suit_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o thou_o will_v obtain_v of_o he_o say_v not_o oh_o that_o i_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o thus_o thou_o o_o god_n may_v give_v i_o such_o a_o benefit_n or_o thus_o sure_o if_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v i_o i_o will_v i_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v or_o thus_o if_o god_n be_v able_a let_v he_o do_v this_o for_o i_o for_o all_o this_o be_v but_o tempt_v and_o mock_v of_o the_o lord_n power_n and_o mercy_n but_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o humility_n cast_v down_o thy_o knee_n and_o hart_n tell_v he_o of_o thy_o unwoorthinesse_n and_o accuse_v thyself_o thorough_o remember_v he_o of_o his_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o must_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o prayer_n then_o open_v thy_o want_n and_o desire_v such_o a_o remedy_n as_o god_n himself_o shall_v like_v of_o and_o last_o praise_v he_o for_o all_o thy_o former_a benefit_n and_o then_o if_o thou_o want_v thy_o will_n it_o shall_v be_v most_o good_a for_o thou_o if_o thou_o obtain_v thy_o will_n thank_v he_o hearty_o again_o and_o use_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n glory_n another_o use_n be_v this_o that_o if_o 2_o complainer_n without_o pray_v be_v odious_a in_o the_o lord_n sight_n although_o the_o cause_n be_v indifferent_a then_o much_o more_o be_v those_o that_o never_o pray_v but_o for_o unlawful_a and_o filthy_a thing_n that_o they_o may_v bestow_v they_o on_o their_o lust_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v jam._n 4._o 2_o 3._o they_o desire_v health_n of_o body_n to_o wallow_v in_o vanity_n they_o crave_v many_o child_n to_o hoard_v up_o evil_o get_v good_n and_o to_o rob_v the_o poor_a they_o pray_v for_o riches_n that_o they_o may_v reign_v over_o other_o man_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o live_v in_o sin_n without_o controllment_n they_o ask_v for_o marriage_n to_o abuse_v they_o in_o lust_n and_o final_o they_o pollute_v all_o thing_n that_o come_v in_o their_o hand_n or_o heart_n in_o their_o outward_a profession_n they_o do_v but_o serve_v the_o time_n and_o therefore_o their_o inward_a constitution_n can_v be_v very_o holy_a i_o be_o persuade_v that_o a_o great_a sort_n will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o let_v man_n hear_v those_o thing_n that_o they_o continual_o and_o immodest_o desire_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n ask_v therefore_o but_o with_o wisdom_n enjoy_v thy_o own_o with_o thanksgiving_n praise_n god_n for_o all_o thing_n and_o think_v thyself_o happy_a whether_o thou_o live_v or_o die_v again_o i_o may_v also_o note_v out_o of_o this_o verse_n how_o affliction_n and_o sorrow_n do_v teach_v man_n to_o pray_v most_o seruent_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o abimelech_n gen._n 21._o 17._o and_o in_o david_n psal_n 119._o 67._o and_o the_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o then_o man_n begin_v to_o feel_v their_o

notable_a sin_n or_o other_o and_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o we_o may_v find_v it_o in_o many_o wicked_a rebel_n justify_v which_o will_v then_o most_o lamentable_o bewail_v their_o sin_n when_o indeed_o they_o feel_v the_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o and_o be_v either_o in_o trouble_n of_o life_n or_o in_o danger_n of_o death_n but_o this_o be_v with_o they_o but_o momentanie_n

least_o affliction_n that_o can_v be_v for_o as_o the_o soft_a rain_n will_v lay_v along_o the_o rank_a corn_n so_o slender_a trouble_n will_v bring_v to_o the_o earth_n the_o most_o obstinate_a
