importunity_n when_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o there_o be_v other_o that_o think_v they_o have_v not_o this_o importunity_n when_o indeed_o they_o have_v it_o both_o these_o mistake_v i_o must_v labour_v to_o rectify_v caution_n 1_o 1._o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v they_o have_v this_o importunity_n when_o they_o have_v it_o not_o ground_n every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v proud_a of_o his_o own_o part_n and_o ability_n and_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o he_o have_v more_o grace_n than_o indeed_o he_o have_v and_o here_o there_o be_v four_o mistake_n or_o if_o you_o will_v four_o ground_n of_o this_o great_a mistake_n many_o conceit_n they_o have_v importunity_n when_o indeed_o they_o have_v it_o not_o 1._o because_o they_o be_v fluent_a in_o their_o expression_n in_o prayer_n 2._o because_o they_o have_v some_o stir_n of_o the_o affection_n in_o prayer_n 3._o because_o god_n give_v they_o the_o mercy_n they_o ask_v 4._o because_o they_o pray_v by_o heart_n and_o not_o by_o book_n now_o all_o these_o be_v false_a ground_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o disprove_v they_o in_o order_n the_o first_o ground_n of_o this_o deceit_n be_v this_o there_o be_v some_o that_o conceive_v they_o have_v consute_v this_o importunity_n because_o they_o have_v multitude_n of_o word_n and_o variety_n of_o expression_n in_o prayer_n now_o this_o be_v no_o just_a ground_n for_o a_o man_n to_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v this_o holy_a importunity_n in_o four_o case_n 1._o in_o case_n expression_n come_v from_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a gift_n and_o part_n and_o not_o from_o save_v grace_n a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o strong_a memory_n and_o volubility_n of_o tongue_n and_o good_a natural_a ability_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o while_n fall_v far_o short_a of_o this_o gracious_a importunity_n 2._o in_o case_n thou_o be_v full_a in_o expression_n but_o empty_a in_o affection_n there_o be_v many_o man_n who_o word_n do_v outslip_v their_o heart_n and_o their_o expression_n exceed_v their_o affection_n so_o do_v they_o isa_n 29._o 13._o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o i_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o their_o lip_n do_v honour_n i_o but_o have_v remove_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o i_o some_o man_n be_v like_o boil_a water_n when_o it_o boil_v fast_o and_o boil_v out_o of_o the_o top_n then_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o the_o bottom_n all_o their_o prayer_n be_v at_o the_o top_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o not_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o affection_n their_o affection_n do_v not_o carry_v equipage_n with_o their_o word_n 3._o in_o case_n thy_o importunate_a expression_n be_v more_o use_v in_o company_n then_o in_o secret_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n thou_o haft_n not_o this_o holy_a importunity_n but_o it_o come_v from_o popular_a applause_n it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n christ_n speak_v to_o his_o people_n cant._n 8._o 13._o thou_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o garden_n the_o companion_n harken_v to_o thy_o voice_n cause_v i_o to_o hear_v it_o to_o show_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o pray_v and_o be_v importunate_a when_o the_o companion_n harken_v to_o their_o voice_n when_o they_o be_v in_o company_n but_o even_o then_o when_o no_o eye_n see_v they_o when_o no_o ear_n hear_v they_o when_o none_o be_v present_a but_o god_n alone_o god_n expect_v that_o we_o shall_v pray_v in_o secret_a as_o well_o as_o in_o company_n 4._o in_o case_n thy_o fluency_n of_o expression_n do_v make_v thou_o conceit_v of_o thyself_o and_o of_o thy_o gift_n and_o to_o sleight_v the_o gift_n of_o other_o man_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n thou_o have_v not_o this_o holy_a importunity_n for_o that_o make_v a_o man_n humble_a and_o low_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o despise_v other_o man_n and_o exalt_v himself_o above_o his_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o token_n thy_o importunity_n come_v not_o from_o a_o right_a principle_n and_o so_o i_o have_v disprove_v the_o first_o false_a ground_n upon_o which_o many_o conceit_n they_o have_v this_o importunity_n consute_v 2._o another_o false_a ground_n upon_o which_o man_n conceive_v they_o have_v this_o importunity_n when_o they_o have_v not_o be_v this_o because_o they_o find_v in_o themselves_o some_o stir_n in_o their_o affection_n in_o prayer_n to_o god_n but_o this_o be_v no_o just_a ground_n for_o that_o opinion_n in_o these_o case_n 1._o in_o case_n thy_o affection_n be_v more_o stir_v up_o for_o the_o removal_n of_o affliction_n upon_o thou_o than_o corruption_n within_o thou_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o mariner_n in_o jonah_n they_o cry_v mighty_o unto_o god_n but_o what_o be_v it_o for_o not_o that_o they_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o corruption_n but_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v they_o safe_a out_o of_o that_o tempest_n wherein_o they_o be_v 2._o in_o case_n thy_o affection_n be_v kindle_v by_o a_o false_a principle_n as_o by_o popular_a applause_n or_o vain_a glory_n and_o not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 3._o in_o case_n thy_o affection_n be_v more_o draw_v out_o after_o pardon_v mercy_n than_o subdue_a grace_n a_o man_n who_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v may_v be_v so_o far_o rouse_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n that_o he_o may_v be_v very_o earnest_a to_o have_v sin_n pardon_v out_o of_o a_o mere_a principle_n of_o self-love_n 4._o if_o these_o stir_n be_v fade_a there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v a_o flush_n in_o their_o affection_n that_o have_v no_o stand_a affection_n in_o their_o heart_n they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o fever_n that_o when_o the_o distemper_n be_v on_o he_o he_o may_v be_v strong_a by_o far_a than_o he_o be_v in_o his_o ordinary_a course_n now_o this_o be_v not_o the_o natural_a strength_n of_o the_o man_n but_o only_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o distemper_n and_o the_o decay_n of_o nature_n just_o so_o the_o violence_n that_o some_o man_n have_v do_v not_o argue_v a_o strength_n of_o grace_n but_o a_o decrease_n of_o grace_n rather_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o ground_n of_o that_o mistake_n a_o three_o ground_n upon_o which_o many_o mistake_n be_v this_o because_o god_n give_v they_o confute_v the_o mercy_n they_o ask_v now_o they_o think_v god_n will_v not_o give_v they_o what_o they_o ask_v if_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v and_o accept_v their_o prayer_n but_o neither_o be_v this_o a_o good_a ground_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o god_n may_v give_v you_o mercy_n not_o as_o a_o return_n of_o prayer_n but_o as_o a_o fruit_n of_o his_o general_a providence_n whereby_o he_o do_v take_v care_n for_o all_o his_o creature_n god_n giveh_o meat_n even_o to_o the_o raven_n that_o cry_v unto_o he_o the_o lord_n give_v to_o every_o

request_n in_o wrath_n and_o not_o in_o mercy_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o israelite_n they_o be_v weary_a of_o that_o government_n that_o god_n have_v set_v over_o they_o and_o they_o be_v very_o

well_o god_n hear_v their_o request_n and_o grant_v it_o and_o give_v they_o a_o king_n may_v they_o thence_o conclude_v sure_o their_o prayer_n be_v accept_v of_o god_n because_o god_n do_v give_v
