ought_v not_o to_o be_v refuse_v if_o it_o be_v receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n for_o it_o be_v sanctify_v by_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o you_o take_v common_a blessing_n every_o day_n and_o do_v not_o seek_v they_o at_o the_o lord_n hand_n before_o you_o take_v they_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v unto_o you_o you_o have_v not_o a_o lawful_a use_n of_o they_o you_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o they_o beside_o my_o belove_a it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n command_v in_o every_o thing_n make_v your_o request_n 3_o know_v in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v whensoever_o you_o need_v any_o thing_n make_v your_o request_n know_v so_o in_o every_o thing_n give_v thanks_n and_o therefore_o the_o least_o we_o can_v do_v when_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v need_v so_o many_o mercy_n be_v to_o give_v thanks_n and_o to_o seek_v to_o he_o so_o often_o from_o day_n to_o day_n moreover_o do_v not_o our_o heart_n need_v it_o be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o order_n be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o contract_v hardness_n be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o go_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o be_v harden_v from_o god_n fear_n therefore_o this_o duty_n be_v needful_a in_o that_o regard_n to_o compose_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o into_o order_n more_o over_o do_v not_o the_o sin_n we_o commit_v daily_o put_v a_o necessity_n upon_o we_o of_o do_v this_o that_o they_o 5_o may_v be_v forgive_v and_o do_v away_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n again_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o arbitrary_a thing_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n twice_o a_o day_n because_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a express_a command_n for_o if_o you_o consider_v these_o place_n that_o i_o have_v name_v and_o the_o reason_n we_o shall_v see_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o we_o to_o do_v it_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o that_o i_o come_v now_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o this_o that_o have_v be_v deliver_v first_o in_o that_o such_o prayer_n as_o the_o lord_n accept_v be_v a_o expression_n of_o holy_a desire_n such_o desire_n as_o rise_v 1_o from_o the_o regenerate_a part_n of_o a_o man_n hence_o than_o we_o see_v that_o all_o natural_a man_n be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n when_o time_n of_o extremity_n come_v and_o when_o the_o day_n of_o death_n come_v when_o there_o be_v no_o help_n in_o the_o world_n but_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o all_o the_o creature_n forsake_v they_o and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n but_o by_o prayer_n if_o prayer_n be_v a_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o regenerate_a part_n of_o a_o man_n a_o carnal_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v himself_o he_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n therefore_o let_v man_n consider_v this_o that_o put_v all_o off_o to_o time_n of_o extremity_n put_v the_o case_n thou_o have_v warning_n enough_o at_o such_o a_o time_n put_v the_o case_n thou_o have_v the_o use_n of_o thy_o understanding_n yet_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v any_o good_a without_o this_o for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v a_o spiritual_a prayer_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o lord_n accept_v therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o defer_v and_o put_v off_o labour_v to_o be_v regenerate_v to_o have_v your_o heart_n renew_v while_o you_o have_v time_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o health_n how_o will_v thou_o do_v it_o when_o thy_o wit_n and_o thy_o spirit_n be_v spend_v and_o lose_v and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n and_o extremity_n therefore_o let_v that_o be_v consider_v which_o we_o do_v but_o touch_v by_o the_o way_n brief_o second_o if_o the_o lord_n command_v this_o if_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n pray_v continual_o then_o 2._o take_v heed_n of_o neglect_v this_o duty_n rather_o be_v exhort_v to_o be_v frequent_a and_o servant_n in_o it_o to_o continue_v therein_o and_o watch_v there_o to_o with_o all_o perseverance_n 6_o it_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n among_o we_o either_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o omit_v it_o or_o to_o come_v to_o it_o unwilling_o or_o prayer_n else_o we_o perform_v it_o in_o a_o careless_a and_o negligent_a manner_n not_o consider_v what_o a_o command_n lie_v upon_o the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o perform_v it_o constant_o and_o conscionable_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o privilege_n purchase_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n die_v for_o this_o end_n it_o cost_v he_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n that_o we_o through_o he_o 1._o may_v have_v entrance_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o will_v you_o let_v such_o a_o privilege_n as_o this_o lie_n still_o if_o you_o do_v so_o far_o as_o be_v in_o you_o you_o cause_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v shed_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o you_o neglect_v the_o privilege_n get_v by_o that_o blood_n so_o far_o you_o neglect_v the_o blood_n that_o procure_v they_o but_o to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n be_v to_o neglect_v that_o beside_o if_o we_o ask_v you_o 2._o the_o reason_n why_o you_o abstain_v from_o other_o sin_n why_o you_o steal_v not_o why_o you_o commit_v not_o adultery_n and_o murder_n the_o reason_n that_o you_o give_v i●…_n because_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v you_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n command_v you_o to_o pray_v constant_o at_o all_o time_n if_o you_o make_v conscience_n of_o one_o commandment_n why_o do_v you_o not_o of_o another_o consider_v daniel_n in_o 6_o this_o case_n dan._n 6._o he_o will_v not_o omit_v a_o constant_a course_n of_o prayer_n he_o do_v it_o 3._o time_n a_o day_n &_o that_o be_v his_o ordinary_a custom_n if_o he_o will_v not_o omit_v it_o to_o spare_v his_o life_n if_o he_o will_v not_o omit_v it_o in_o such_o a_o case_n of_o danger_n as_o that_o why_o will_v you_o omit_v it_o for_o business_n for_o a_o little_a advantage_n for_o a_o little_a gain_n for_o a_o little_a wealth_n or_o pelie_o or_o pomp_n or_o pleasure_n or_o whatsoever_o may_v draw_v you_o from_o that_o duty_n do_v but_o consider_v what_o a_o unreasonable_a and_o how_o unequal_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o clothes_n from_o day_n to_o day_n when_o he_o give_v we_o sleep_v every_o night_n when_o he_o provide_v for_o we_o such_o comfort_n as_o we_o have_v need_n of_o as_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o creature_n that_o do_v we_o any_o service_n but_o as_o far_o as_o he_o set_v it_o a_o work_n to_o do_v that_o service_n for_o we_o to_o forget_v he_o and_o not_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_n and_o not_o to_o ask_v these_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n not_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o but_o to_o live_v as_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n as_o we_o do_v when_o we_o neglect_v this_o duty_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o profession_n 2_o of_o live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n we_o be_v stranger_n to_o he_o it_o be_v open_a rebellion_n against_o he_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o omit_v it_o take_v heed_n of_o neglect_v it_o beside_o all_o this_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o our_o mot._n own_o

and_o 10._o you_o shall_v be_v there_o for_o ten_o day_n it_o be_v not_o so_o long_o as_o satan_n will_v have_v have_v it_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v have_v have_v it_o ten_o and_o ten_o too_o nor_o again_o it_o be_v not_o so_o short_a as_o they_o will_v have_v have_v it_o but_o god_n set_v down_o the_o time_n between_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v rest_v upon_o he_o and_o think_v that_o many_o time_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v defer_v when_o we_o ask_v thing_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o defer_v for_o one_o of_o these_o cause_n for_o the_o most_o part_n sometime_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o we_o see_v he_o defer_v to_o grant_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n request_n although_o he_o do_v mean_a to_o grant_v her_o request_n yet_o he_o defer_v long_o that_o he_o may_v put_v she_o to_o the_o trial_n and_o you_o see_v she_o be_v no_o loose_a by_o it_o but_o when_o she_o hold_v out_o in_o her_o prayer_n she_o have_v her_o request_n grant_v to_o the_o full_a sometime_o he_o defer_v to_o grant_v it_o that_o we_o 2_o may_v be_v more_o humble_v as_o you_o know_v paul_n pray_v earnest_o but_o god_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o will_v defer_v he_o because_o he_o need_v more_o humility_n so_o he_o defer_v to_o grant_v the_o request_n that_o the_o man_n of_o benjamin_n put_v up_o to_o he_o when_o the_o cause_n be_v just_a and_o god_n intend_v to_o help_v they_o yet_o they_o fall_v before_o their_o enemy_n twice_o though_o they_o fa●…ed_v and_o pray_v his_o end_n be_v as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o text_n that_o they_o may_v be_v more_o humble_v that_o their_o heart_n may_v be_v more_o break_v that_o they_o may_v be_v more_o fit_v to_o receive_v it_o again_o sometime_o god_n deferr_v that_o we_o may_v 3_o be_v more_o able_a to_o use_v those_o blessing_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o so_o he_o defer_v to_o raise_v joseph_n to_o preferment_n so_o he_o defer_v to_o bring_v david_n to_o the_o kingdom_n that_o those_o affliction_n that_o they_o endure_v might_n the_o better_o fit_v they_o to_o enjoy_v so_o great_a prosperity_n as_o he_o have_v provide_v for_o they_o afterward_o and_o last_o he_o deferr_v that_o he_o may_v set_v a_o high_a 4_o price_n upon_o his_o blessing_n that_o he_o may_v enhance_v the_o price_n of_o they_o as_o the_o fisher_n draw_v simile_n away_o the_o bait_n that_o the_o fish_n may_v follow_v it_o the_o more_o so_o god_n withhold_v blessing_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o great_a edge_n set_v upon_o our_o desire_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v hard_a for_o they_o that_o we_o may_v prize_v they_o more_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v they_o now_o as_o he_o do_v thus_o for_o the_o time_n and_o as_o we_o be_v often_o deceive_v in_o the_o time_n in_o take_v delay_n for_o denial_n so_o likewise_o we_o be_v often_o deceive_v ask_v in_o the_o measure_n many_o time_n god_n grant_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o will_v have_v but_o because_o we_o have_v not_o so_o large_a a_o measure_n as_o we_o expect_v therefore_o we_o think_v we_o have_v not_o it_o at_o all_o and_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v deny_v we_o our_o prayer_n when_o indeed_o he_o have_v not_o for_o a_o lesser_a measure_n many_o time_n may_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o a_o great_a as_o god_n say_v to_o paul_n my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o though_o the_o temptation_n do_v abide_v upon_o we_o if_o there_o be_v sufficient_a grace_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o a_o continual_a conflict_n and_o war_n against_o it_o if_o there_o be_v sufficient_a grace_n to_o obtain_v pardon_n to_o uphold_v and_o to_o comfort_v we_o in_o it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a it_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n we_o have_v a_o deliverance_n from_o it_o even_o when_o we_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v deliver_v though_o we_o have_v not_o so_o full_a a_o victory_n as_o we_o will_v have_v yet_o that_o grace_n may_v be_v sufficient_a you_o shall_v see_v this_o almost_o in_o all_o the_o thing_n we_o 16._o have_v occasion_n to_o request_n at_o god_n hand_n that_o a_o lesser_a measure_n may_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o a_o great_a take_v it_o first_o in_o outward_a thing_n a_o little_a wealth_n may_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o great_a revenue_n as_o in_o psal._n 38._o 16._o a_o little_a that_o the_o righteous_a have_v be_v as_o much_o as_o great_a revenue_n to_o the_o wicked_a because_o a_o little_a when_o god_n shall_v fill_v it_o with_o his_o blessing_n it_o shall_v serve_v the_o turn_n as_o well_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v great_a revenue_n and_o god_n blow_v upon_o they_o and_o leave_v a_o emptiness_n in_o they_o if_o a_o man_n have_v great_a revenue_n if_o he_o have_v great_a outward_a comfort_n yet_o if_o there_o be_v a_o emptiness_n if_o there_o be_v a_o vanity_n in_o they_o if_o they_o be_v as_o the_o husk_n without_o the_o grain_n as_o the_o shell_n without_o the_o kernel_n as_o they_o be_v often_o though_o there_o be_v a_o great_a bulk_n and_o they_o seem_v very_o fit_a to_o comfort_v we_o yet_o they_o will_v do_v we_o little_a good_a whereas_o a_o little_a on_o the_o other_o side_n will_v do_v much_o good_a for_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v with_o manna_n those_o that_o have_v little_a yet_o they_o have_v sufficient_a and_o those_o that_o gather_v over_o yet_o they_o have_v never_o a_o whit_n ●…he_v more_o that_o be_v for_o their_o use_n and_o

therefore_o a_o little_a in_o this_o kind_n may_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o much_o and_o so_o likewise_o a_o little_a grace_n may_v be_v so_o use_v grace_n and_o improve_v that_o it_o may_v enable_v

a_o notable_a 8._o place_n for_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v say_v there_o to_o the_o church_n of_o philladelphia_n thou_o have_v a_o little_a strength_n they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a strength_n
