we_o rely_v not_o upon_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v when_o we_o pray_v but_o trust_v more_o to_o second_o mean_n to_o our_o wit_n to_o our_o friend_n or_o the_o like_a than_o to_o he_o and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o waver_a in_o prayer_n s._n james_n speak_v of_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o pray_v in_o faith_n without_o waver_v chap._n 1._o 6._o that_o be_v without_o reel_v from_o god_n to_o rest_v upon_o second_o mean_n but_o as_o with_o our_o mouth_n we_o pray_v to_o he_o so_o shall_v our_o heart_n rely_v upon_o he_o to_o give_v we_o what_o we_o ask_v but_o we_o often_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o fashion_n but_o indeed_o we_o look_v to_o speed_v by_o other_o and_o so_o god_n take_v himself_o mock_v and_o so_o no_o marvel_n if_o he_o hear_v we_o not_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o case_n we_o will_v not_o listen_v to_o such_o suitor_n or_o 3_o we_o pray_v and_o speed_v not_o when_o we_o make_v not_o god_n glory_n the_o end_n of_o what_o we_o ask_v you_o ask_v say_v s._n james_n chap._n 4._o 3._o and_o receive_v not_o because_o you_o ask_v amiss_o that_o you_o may_v consume_v it_o upon_o your_o lust_n or_o 4._o we_o may_v ask_v something_o that_o cross_v the_o rule_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o justice_n and_o then_o also_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o speed_v etc._n david_n pray_v for_o the_o life_n of_o his_o child_n by_o bathsheba_n vriah_n wife_n but_o be_v not_o hear_v because_o it_o stand_v not_o with_o the_o rule_n of_o divine_a justice_n that_o so_o scandalous_a a_o sin_n which_o make_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n to_o blaspheme_v shall_v not_o have_v a_o exemplary_a punishment_n in_o like_a manner_n sundry_a time_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n rebel_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o murmur_v against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n their_o governor_n moses_n pour_v forth_o very_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o remove_v his_o judgement_n from_o off_o the_o people_n but_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v he_o because_o their_o sin_n be_v scandalous_a and_o commit_v with_o so_o high_a a_o hand_n that_o it_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o justice_n not_o to_o inflict_v punishment_n for_o they_o 2._o again_o sometime_o and_o that_o too_o often_o we_o be_v indispose_v for_o god_n to_o grant_v our_o request_n as_o first_o when_o some_o sin_n unrepented_a of_o lie_n at_o the_o door_n and_o keep_v god_n blessing_n out_o 16._o psal._n 66._o 18._o if_o i_o regard_v say_v david_n iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v i_o so_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v joshua_n pray_v for_o the_o israelite_n 9_o when_o they_o flee_v before_o the_o man_n of_o ai_fw-fr because_o of_o achan_n sacrilege_n 12._o get_v thou_o up_o say_v god_n why_o lie_v thou_o thus_o upon_o thy_o face_n israel_n have_v sin_v for_o they_o have_v take_v of_o the_o accurse_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o curse_a be_v those_o that_o meddle_v therewith_o therefore_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n can_v not_o stand_v before_o their_o enemy_n because_o they_o be_v accurse_v neither_o will_v i_o be_v with_o you_o any_o more_o except_o you_o put_v the_o accurse_a thing_n from_o among_o you_o or_o last_o our_o prayer_n often_o be_v not_o hear_v because_o we_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n empty_a we_o do_v not_o as_o cornelius_n do_v send_v up_o prayer_n and_o alm_n together_o we_o shall_v have_v two_o string_n to_o our_o bow_n when_o we_o have_v but_o one_o this_o be_v another_o indisposition_n which_o unfit_v we_o to_o receive_v what_o we_o ask_v of_o god_n for_o how_o can_v we_o look_v that_o god_n shall_v hear_v we_o in_o our_o need_n when_o we_o turn_v away_o our_o face_n from_o our_o brother_n in_o his_o need_n when_o we_o refuse_v to_o give_v to_o god_n or_o for_o his_o sake_n what_o he_o require_v why_o shall_v he_o grant_v to_o we_o what_o we_o request_n hear_v what_o a_o ancient_a father_n of_o the_o church_n s._n basil_n by_o name_n in_o concione_n ad_fw-la divites_fw-la say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i_o have_v know_v many_o say_v he_o who_o will_v fast_v who_o will_v pray_v who_o will_v sigh_v but_o not_o bestow_v one_o halfpenny_n upon_o the_o poor_a but_o what_o then_o will_v their_o other_o devotion_n profit_v they_o 3._o add_v to_o all_o these_o reason_n of_o displeasure_n a_o reason_n of_o favour_n why_o god_n sometime_o grant_v not_o our_o request_n namely_o because_o we_o ask_v that_o which_o he_o know_v will_v be_v hurtful_a for_o we_o though_o we_o think_v not_o so_o we_o ask_v sometime_o that_o which_o if_o he_o grant_v we_o will_v utter_o undo_v we_o as_o therefore_o a_o wise_a and_o love_a father_n will_v not_o give_v his_o child_n a_o knife_n or_o some_o other_o hurtful_a thing_n though_o it_o cry_v never_o so_o much_o unto_o he_o for_o it_o so_o do_v god_n deal_v with_o his_o child_n and_o how_o wise_a soever_o we_o think_v ourselves_o we_o be_v often_o as_o ignorant_a in_o that_o which_o concern_v our_o good_a as_o very_a babe_n be_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o to_o be_v order_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n moreover_o we_o must_v know_v and_o believe_v that_o god_n often_o hear_v our_o prayer_n when_o we_o think_v he_o do_v not_o and_o that_o three_o manner_n of_o way_n as_o namely_o 1._o when_o he_o change_v the_o mean_n but_o bring_v the_o end_n we_o desire_v another_o way_n to_o pass_v we_o ask_v to_o have_v a_o thing_n by_o our_o mean_n but_o he_o like_v not_o our_o way_n but_o give_v it_o we_o by_o another_o mean_n which_o he_o think_v better_a s._n paul_n 〈◊〉_d that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o glorify_v god_n in_o serve_v he_o 9_o desire_v the_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v take_v from_o he_o god_n deny_v he_o that_o mean_n but_o grant_v he_o grace_v sufficient_a for_o he_o that_o so_o be_v humble_v by_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o own_o infirmity_n he_o may_v glorify_v god_n for_o his_o power_n in_o man_n weakness_n and_o be_v it_o not_o all_o one_o whether_o a_o physician_n quench_v the_o thirst_n of_o his_o patient_n by_o give_v he_o barbery_n or_o some_o other_o comfortable_a drink_n as_o by_o give_v he_o beer_n which_o he_o call_v for_o 2._o god_n often_o grant_v our_o request_n but_o not_o at_o that_o time_n we_o will_v have_v it_o but_o defer_v it_o till_o some_o other_o time_n which_o he_o think_v best_o etc._n daniel_n pray_v for_o the_o return_n of_o the_o captivity_n in_o the_o first_o year_n of_o darius_n but_o god_n defer_v it_o till_o the_o first_o of_o cyrus_n 22●_n we_o must_v not_o therefore_o take_v god_n delay_n for_o denial_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o altar_n rev._n 6._o 10._o cry_v out_o aloud_o for_o vengeance_n god_n hear_v that_o cry_n and_o can_v deny_v the_o importunate_a cry_n of_o innocent_a blood_n yet_o he_o defer_v it_o for_o a_o little_a season_n say_v the_o text_n v._n 11._o and_o why_o because_o their_o fellow-servant_n and_o brethren_n that_o shall_v be_v slay_v as_o they_o be_v may_v be_v fulfil_v last_o god_n sometime_o grant_v not_o the_o thing_n we_o ask_v but_o give_v we_o in_o stead_n thereof_o something_o which_o be_v as_o good_a or_o better_a and_o then_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v but_o that_o he_o hear_v we_o and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o prayer_n now_o i_o come_v also_o to_o show_v the_o like_a of_o alm_n how_o powerful_a a_o mean_n they_o be_v to_o procure_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n not_o thy_o prayer_n only_o say_v the_o angel_n but_o thy_o alm_n also_o be_v come_v up_o for_o a_o remembrance_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o alms_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o prayer_n namely_o a_o visible_a one_o and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o prevail_v as_o strong_o with_o god_n for_o a_o blessing_n as_o any_o
