from_o he_o when_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o our_o saviour_n never_o leave_v press_v the_o argument_n he_o be_v upon_o until_o s._n peter_n take_v occasion_n thence_o to_o prefer_v this_o petition_n but_o there_o be_v three_o other_o circumstance_n express_v in_o the_o word_n which_o be_v require_v in_o all_o that_o will_v promote_v a_o petition_n to_o the_o best_a advantage_n first_o he_o take_v his_o best_a opportunity_n for_o it_o all_o time_n be_v not_o proper_a to_o exhibit_v petition_n for_o reward_n s._n peter_n therefore_o wait_v his_o fit_a time_n and_o when_o he_o have_v find_v it_o then_o peter_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o he_o behold_v we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o etc._n etc._n second_o he_o do_v it_o not_o cold_o and_o jejune_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o most_o man_n be_v not_o care_v whether_o it_o speed_v or_o not_o so_o they_o may_v be_v well_o pay_v for_o it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o one_o petition_n beget_v another_o and_o man_n business_n be_v never_o at_o a_o end_n but_o s._n peter_n do_v it_o affectionate_o with_o a_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d behold_v i_o pray_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o that_o we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o but_o some_o may_v say_v what_o need_v this_o emphasis_n and_o note_n of_o observation_n to_o our_o saviour_n for_o he_o know_v their_o suffering_n before_o and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v ask_v he_o john_n 16._o god_n indeed_o know_v all_o our_o work_n and_o want_n yet_o he_o command_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o to_o help_v we_o call_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o i_o will_v hear_v thou_o psal_n 50._o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o what_o we_o need_v and_o our_o own_o want_n call_v upon_o we_o for_o it_o great_a man_n will_v expect_v that_o inferior_n shall_v make_v their_o address_n unto_o they_o by_o way_n of_o petition_n and_o we_o be_v also_o constrain_v to_o do_v it_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o we_o for_o though_o god_n need_v no_o rememberancer_n yet_o man_n do_v and_o be_v they_o never_o so_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o they_o may_v be_v ignorant_a or_o forgetful_a of_o other_o man_n want_n and_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o some_o body_n shall_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n but_o because_o we_o shall_v hardly_o find_v any_o man_n like_o mind_a as_o s._n peter_n be_v who_o will_v do_v it_o for_o we_o upon_o such_o easy_a condition_n it_o be_v very_o convenient_a that_o some_o eminent_a sufferour_n shall_v be_v appoint_v by_o they_o for_o such_o a_o public_a concernment_n last_o s._n peter_n do_v it_o general_o for_o they_o all_o he_o do_v not_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o but_o we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o though_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o the_o chief_a sufferer_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o put_v so_o much_o as_o one_o grain_n to_o weigh_v down_o his_o own_o scale_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v from_o the_o circumstance_n to_o the_o answer_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o his_o follow_a petition_n behold_v we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o this_o answer_n have_v two_o branch_n first_o forsake_a all_o sâcondly_o follow_v thou_o and_o these_o two_o be_v so_o unite_v with_o the_o root_n and_o within_o themselves_o that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v faith_n and_o work_n must_v grow_v together_o to_o forsake_v all_o there_o be_v our_o faith_n to_o follow_v thou_o there_o be_v our_o work_n and_o in_o vain_a do_v some_o man_n strive_v to_o part_v they_o yet_o a_o actual_a forsake_v all_o nor_o a_o local_a follow_v be_v not_o always_o here_o mean_v for_o a_o man_n may_v forsake_v all_o and_o not_o follow_v christ_n and_o he_o may_v follow_v christ_n and_o yet_o not_o forsake_v all_o many_o may_v follow_v he_o local_o who_o do_v not_o follow_v he_o cordial_o but_o to_o forsake_v all_o and_o not_o to_o follow_v christ_n be_v lose_v

and_o follow_v i_o mark_v 8.34_o have_v christ_n have_v the_o young_a man_n âed_v part_n of_o his_o possession_n and_o follow_v he_o it_o be_v likely_a he_o will_v have_v do_v it_o for_o ananias_n
