time_n of_o israel_n captivity_n dan._n 9.3_o in_o imitation_n of_o who_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o rend_v our_o heart_n joel_n 2.1_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o he_o who_o be_v rend_v for_o we_o

1._o joh._n 3.22_o that_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v of_o he_o we_o shall_v receive_v if_o we_o repent_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n the_o second_o duty_n be_v reconciliation_n with_o man_n a_o thing_n as_o necessary_a before_o our_o daily_a sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n as_o before_o the_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o supper_n for_o which_o cause_n our_o saviour_n bid_v we_o agree_v with_o our_o adversary_n quick_o 12.28_o luke_n 12.28_o whilst_o we_o be_v in_o the_o way_n either_o in_o the_o way_n of_o life_n to_o death-ward_o as_o chrysostome_n expound_v it_o or_o in_o the_o way_n of_o devotion_n to_o god-ward_o as_o saint_n bernard_n or_o in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n to_o hellward_n as_o saint_n jerome_n and_o matthew_n 5._o he_o also_o command_v we_o that_o when_o we_o bring_v

first_o go_v and_o be_v reconcile_v and_o when_o we_o be_v at_o unity_n then_o make_v our_o prayer_n and_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v so_o big_a that_o we_o can_v neither_o find_v in_o ourselves_o a_o

the_o god_n of_o all_o mildness_n shall_v be_v wroth_a with_o we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n with_o other_o therefore_o that_o our_o prayer_n may_v pierce_v the_o cloud_n we_o must_v

108.1_o psal_n 108.1_o else_o if_o there_o be_v envy_v and_o strife_n in_o our_o heart_n though_o we_o pray_v yet_o rejoice_v not_o 3.14_o jam._n 3.14_o for_o we_o be_v but_o liar_n against_o the_o

for_o where_o envy_v and_o strife_n be_v there_o be_v sedition_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n but_o the_o wisdom_n that_o be_v from_o god_n be_v first_o pure_a then_o peaceable_a gentle_a

when_o we_o come_v to_o sacrifice_v praise_n to_o this_o god_n that_o we_o neither_o be_v rash_a with_o our_o mouth_n nor_o hasty_a with_o our_o heart_n to_o utter_v any_o thing_n before_o god_n for_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o enter_v into_o his_o house_n take_v heed_n to_o our_o foot_n our_o affection_n he_o mean_v the_o foot_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v that_o be_v to_o have_v thy_o heart_n well_o prepare_v rather_o than_o to_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n now_o that_o we_o may_v be_v right_o prepare_v first_o our_o mind_n must_v be_v empty_v and_o sweep_v of_o all_o thought_n &_o impediment_n that_o may_v hinder_v this_o holy_a sacrifice_n as_o christ_n clear_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o chopper_n and_o

that_o every_o petition_n which_o faith_n put_v up_o must_v be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o saint_n john_n say_v 5.14_o 1._o joh._n 5.14_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v in_o his_o

have_v neither_o commandment_n so_o to_o ask_v nor_o promise_v to_o receive_v and_o so_o ask_v the_o mother_n of_o zebedees_n child_n promotion_n for_o her_o son_n 20.23_o mat._n 20.23_o &_o be_v

to_o see_v a_o sign_n from_o christ_n we_o therefore_o that_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o with_o faith_n must_v from_o god_n look_v for_o both_o a_o commandment_n to_o warrant_v and_o a_o promise_n to_o

thing_n be_v either_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o remission_n of_o sin_n faith_n hope_n love_n humility_n obedience_n a_o good_a

work_v miracle_n and_o such_o like_a those_o that_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n we_o must_v ask_v they_o simple_o without_o condition_n so_o do_v paul_n 1.17_o ephes_n 1.17_o david_n stephen_n and_o other_o those_o that_o be_v but_o profitable_a and_o temporary_a as_o health_n honour_n child_n life_n etc._n etc._n must_v always_o have_v a_o condition_n annex_v 4.15_o jam._n 4.15_o if_o it_o be_v for_o god_n glory_n if_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n luke_n 22.42_o second_o we_o must_v not_o bind_v god_n to_o any_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n 7._o
