promise_n be_v make_v and_o to_o be_v take_v by_o we_o in_o our_o make_n use_v of_o they_o in_o prayer_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o take_v along_o their_o genuine_a meaning_n and_o force_n

to_o that_o promise_n and_o other_o proviso_n must_v be_v borrow_v from_o other_o place_n for_o the_o due_a bound_a of_o it_o in_o every_o qualification_n the_o result_n of_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v the_o ground_v of_o prayer_n i_o will_v now_o sum_v up_o in_o these_o few_o proposition_n 1._o the_o promise_v make_v unto_o prayer_n as_o of_o hear_v or_o give_v upon_o it_o be_v not_o extensible_a beyond_o the_o rule_n or_o precept_n for_o prayer_n that_o be_v we_o be_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o believe_v or_o expect_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o answer_v in_o any_o request_n but_o such_o as_o we_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o in_o the_o word_n 2._o a_o prayer_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n two_o manner_n of_o way_n 1._o with_o respect_n to_o the_o matter_n only_o in_o the_o kind_n and_o nature_n of_o it_o as_o when_o the_o thing_n pray_v for_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n 2._o with_o respect_n both_o to_o the_o matter_n and_o to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o either_o prescribe_v such_o and_o such_o qualification_n to_o be_v in_o the_o person_n and_o in_o the_o prayer_n and_o in_o this_o both_o in_o regard_n of_o manner_n matter_n order_n and_o end_n of_o the_o supplication_n or_o reserve_v a_o latitute_n in_o the_o time_n mean_n and_o manner_n of_o performance_n that_o a_o prayer_n then_o be_v complete_o ground_v on_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v require_v not_o only_o that_o the_o thing_n pray_v for_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o a_o promise_n but_o that_o there_o be_v in_o reality_n all_o these_o condition_n 3._o whereas_o we_o have_v above_o distinguish_v of_o the_o promise_n unto_o prayer_n that_o some_o be_v in_o more_o general_a term_n as_o to_o hear_v answer_n help_v upon_o prayer_n put_v up_o other_o be_v more_o particular_a as_o of_o do_v give_v this_o or_o that_o thing_n in_o special_a we_o be_v to_o note_v thereupon_o a_o threefold_a rule_n 1._o that_o promise_n unto_o prayer_n be_v more_o determinate_a touch_v spiritual_a thing_n simple_o necessary_a for_o we_o then_o touch_v other_o thing_n in_o these_o the_o promise_n usual_o be_v in_o general_a of_o audience_n and_o answer_n in_o those_o it_o be_v often_o of_o do_v or_o give_v the_o particular_a thing_n 2._o general_a promise_n of_o hear_v be_v to_o be_v interpret_v according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o way_n wherein_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o hear_v or_o answer_v of_o which_o by_o and_o by_o and_o must_v not_o be_v restrain_v to_o one_o way_n of_o hear_v or_o answer_v 3._o promise_n must_v be_v difference_v according_a to_o their_o subject_a matter_n some_o be_v of_o invariable_o good_a and_o absolute_o necessary_a thing_n other_o be_v of_o thing_n of_o a_o mutable_a or_o indifferent_a nature_n these_o must_v be_v take_v conditional_o if_o they_o be_v good_a in_o the_o case_n wherein_o they_o be_v seek_v and_o because_o we_o ourselves_o know_v not_o when_o or_o how_o far_o they_o may_v be_v good_a or_o necessary_a for_o we_o or_o other_o in_o who_o behalf_n we_o ask_v they_o that_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v conform_a to_o the_o promise_n we_o be_v particular_a case_n concern_v such_o thing_n to_o pray_v with_o submission_n and_o reverence_n to_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o most_o gracious_a disposition_n of_o god_n desire_v the_o thing_n only_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a in_o his_o eye_n and_o leave_v the_o determination_n of_o that_o condition_n to_o he_o so_o that_o such_o promise_n and_o petition_n must_v be_v resolve_v into_o that_o general_a modification_n it_o be_v the_o note_n of_o the_o divine_n in_o the_o late_a english_a annotation_n on_o the_o bible_n upon_o that_o prayer_n of_o moses_n unto_o god_n i_o beseech_v thou_o show_v i_o thy_o glory_n 19_o exod._n 33.18_o 19_o and_o the_o lord_n answer_v to_o it_o i_o will_v make_v all_o my_o goodness_n pass_v before_o thou_o moses_n say_v they_o make_v his_o demand_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o he_o answer_v he_o by_o the_o mention_n of_o his_o goodness_n whereby_o he_o promise_v that_o so_o much_o as_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a for_o he_o to_o know_v he_o will_v reveal_v unto_o he_o and_o sure_o if_o we_o have_v god_n goodness_n show_v and_o communicate_v to_o we_o though_o we_o have_v not_o our_o wish_n or_o our_o eye_n satisfy_v or_o the_o particular_a give_v we_o which_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v for_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o full_o conform_v to_o the_o promise_n so_o sufficient_a and_o best_a for_o we_o 4._o i_o will_v add_v one_o proposition_n here_o concern_v prayer_n for_o other_o and_o the_o promise_v make_v unto_o they_o i_o conceive_v the_o condition_n require_v of_o he_o that_o pray_v as_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o rest_n especial_o what_o ever_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o person_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n must_v also_o be_v in_o the_o person_n pray_v for_o else_o no_o ground_n of_o assurance_n to_o speed_v for_o he_o the_o rule_n of_o precept_n indeed_o bind_v to_o pray_v for_o other_o however_o and_o he_o that_o pray_v as_o he_o ought_v have_v assurance_n to_o be_v hear_v some_o way_n other_o and_o
