we_o in_o it_o and_o so_o be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n and_o question_n in_o the_o reason_v concern_v we_o and_o receive_v satisfaction_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v unto_o we_o in_o

when_o year_n shall_v pass_v away_o and_o be_v no_o more_o and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o doctrine_n to_o bring_v people_n to_o the_o everlasting_a word_n of_o god_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o may_v come_v into_o rest_n and_o peace_n in_o the_o pure_a religion_n where_o god_n be_v know_v in_o his_o love_n grace_n and_o riches_n of_o mercy_n q._n if_o your_o faith_n give_v you_o such_o assurance_n of_o your_o principle_n and_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a and_o right_a then_o why_o can_v you_o defend_v it_o by_o force_n and_o so_o free_a yourselves_o from_o that_o outward_a bondage_n which_o you_o suffer_v for_o your_o religion_n a._n our_o faith_n do_v give_v we_o such_o a_o assurance_n but_o yet_o we_o can_v strive_v with_o our_o opposer_n and_o oppressor_n nor_o any_o way_n by_o force_n of_o carnal_a weapon_n seek_v to_o defend_v it_o for_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o defend_v itself_o &_o also_o to_o defend_v we_o that_o live_v in_o it_o and_o our_o weapon_n be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o carnal_a &_o we_o fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n and_o so_o we_o war_n against_o sin_n but_o follow_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o can_v be_v ready_a in_o every_o office_n of_o love_n to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o great_a enemy_n and_o herein_o we_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o peaceable_a people_n under_o every_o power_n by_o which_o we_o have_v or_o do_v suffer_v and_o we_o have_v never_o resist_v nor_o seek_v revenge_n upon_o any_o but_o in_o all_o

that_o harken_v unto_o it_o will_v receive_v a_o true_a evidence_n in_o themselves_o concern_v our_o innocent_a and_o peaceable_a life_n q._n and_o do_v you_o refer_v your_o trial_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o your_o own_o principle_n in_o other_o which_o you_o say_v be_v christ_n the_o light_n and_o life_n and_o witness_v of_o god_n a._n yes_o we_o do_v so_o for_o as_o we_o know_v that_o all_o

therefore_o we_o have_v boldness_n to_o refer_v our_o trial_n in_o all_o thing_n unto_o he_o alone_o as_o know_v that_o his_o trial_n and_o judgement_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n in_o every_o man_n and_o as_o our_o faith_n be_v in_o he_o and_o our_o love_n unto_o he_o so_o we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o condemn_v the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n but_o justify_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o life_n power_n and_o virtue_n and_o his_o trial_n and_o judgement_n will_v clear_o evidence_n for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v his_o and_o not_o our_o own_o confession_n it_o may_v now_o be_v perceive_v that_o you_o do_v not_o hold_v or_o maintain_v the_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v to_o be_v from_o yourselves_o or_o in_o your_o own_o will_n but_o from_o christ_n the_o foundation_n and_o principle_n a._n yes_o it_o be_v plain_o so_o for_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o through_o christ_n in_o who_o we_o have_v our_o strength_n we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n so_o that_o our_o sufficiency_n be_v in_o he_o alone_o and_o by_o his_o power_n in_o we_o all_o our_o good_a work_n be_v wrought_v for_o we_o and_o unto_o he_o they_o all_o return_n that_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n may_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n and_o the_o glory_n for_o ever_o resolve_v it_o be_v so_o there_o be_v no_o good_a ground_n why_o you_o shall_v be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o any_o

hitherto_o have_v think_v you_o do_v not_o and_o that_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v try_v and_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n in_o christ_n you_o ought_v not_o in_o any_o

the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o may_v be_v full_o persuade_v that_o you_o have_v salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o may_v overcome_v all_o that_o be_v yet_o contrary_a

man_n so_o peaceable_o which_o indeed_o do_v clear_o manifest_v your_o principle_n and_o religion_n to_o be_v of_o god_n w._n s._n the_o end_n a_o manifestation_n of_o prayer_n in_o formality_n and_o prayer_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o have_v be_v a_o common_a observation_n through_o age_n and_o generation_n to_o perform_v something_o as_o a_o duty_n unto_o god_n by_o way_n of_o prayer_n &_o this_o common_a observation_n have_v descend_v from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o ever_o since_o the_o apostasy_n enter_v in_o a_o customary_a and_o formal_a way_n still_o observe_v the_o practice_n in_o word_n and_o continue_v the_o same_o as_o a_o duty_n unto_o god_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o form_n not_o at_o all_o regard_n or_o consider_v the_o present_a want_n or_o necessity_n of_o the_o present_a age_n or_o generation_n nor_o the_o present_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o particular_a people_n but_o pray_v in_o the_o same_o word_n and_o in_o the_o same_o form_n from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o from_o generation_n to_o generation_n and_o so_o it_o flow_v as_o a_o natural_a stream_n in_o a_o common_a and_o customary_a practice_n from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o people_n continue_v ask_v but_o do_v not_o receive_v because_o they_o ask_v amiss_o not_o feel_v the_o spirit_n that_o make_v intercession_n and_o so_o the_o pharisee_n make_v long_a prayer_n but_o receive_v the_o great_a damnation_n because_o they_o pray_v not_o in_o the_o spirit_n but_o in_o the_o customary_a formality_n which_o by_o the_o spirit_n be_v condemn_v and_o it_o be_v very_o sad_a that_o people_n shall_v all_o their_o life-time_n be_v complain_v and_o ask_v and_o never_o come_v to_o receive_v satisfaction_n and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a way_n of_o prayer_n in_o this_o present_a generation_n who_o have_v many_o prayer_n in_o form_v word_n and_o with_o their_o mouth_n do_v often_o repeat_v they_o and_o in_o the_o formality_n make_v a_o practice_n of_o they_o and_o so_o at_o set-time_n and_o in_o set-prayer_n spend_v away_o their_o day_n but_o feel_v not_o the_o lord_n nor_o his_o goodness_n and_o this_o common_a way_n of_o prayer_n now_o use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n never_o bring_v people_n to_o obtain_v but_o keep_v they_o always_o ask_v where_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o commandment_n they_o pray_v no_o this_o wise_a lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o write_v all_o these_o thy_o law_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o beseech_v thou_o now_o if_o they_o will_v incline_v their_o heart_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o obey_v it_o than_o the_o spirit_n will_v incline_v their_o heart_n to_o keep_v god_n law_n and_o the_o spirit_n will_v write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o put_v it_o into_o their_o inward_a part_n and_o it_o will_v keep_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o and_o there_o they_o will_v feel_v
god_n mercy_n and_o so_o come_v to_o receive_v a_o answer_n of_o their_o prayer_n for_o when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n do_v not_o incline_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v in_o rebellion_n against_o he_o and_o god_n do_v not_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o rebellious_a and_o so_o people_n pass_v over_o their_o time_n in_o word_n but_o want_v the_o life_n which_o shall_v do_v they_o good_a and_o when_o they_o come_v to_o finish_v their_o day_n their_o heart_n be_v as_o far_o off_o from_o god_n law_n as_o the_o first_o day_n when_o they_o begin_v to_o pray_v that_o he_o will_v incline_v their_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o they_o have_v no_o assurance_n that_o god_n will_v show_v they_o mercy_n though_o they_o have_v be_v pray_v in_o word_n all_o their_o life-time_n and_o likewise_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o lettany_n where_o they_o pray_v after_o this_o manner_n good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o and_o we_o beseech_v thou_o to_o hear_v we_o good_a lord_n and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o in_o their_o latter_a day_n as_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v not_o deliver_v from_o those_o thing_n as_o in_o word_n they_o pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o nor_o be_v not_o hear_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o hear_v they_o in_o and_o so_o they_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o observe_v a_o customary_a formality_n and_o never_o come_v to_o any_o assurance_n that_o they_o be_v deliver_v or_o that_o their_o request_n be_v hear_v and_o answer_v and_o again_o in_o that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o creed_n they_o confess_v they_o believe_v in_o god_n now_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o god_n their_o heart_n be_v incline_v to_o keep_v his_o law_n and_o he_o show_v they_o mercy_n and_o hear_v they_o and_o deliver_v they_o for_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o god_n they_o do_v his_o will_n and_o if_o any_o man_n do_v his_o will_n he_o he_o hear_v and_o then_o again_o they_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v miserable_a sinner_n and_o do_v those_o thing_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v and_o if_o so_o than_o not_o believer_n for_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o miserable_a

and_o set_v they_o free_a from_o their_o misery_n and_o they_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v well-pleasing_a in_o his_o sight_n for_o they_o that_o true_o believe_v in_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o only_o confess_v their_o sin_n but_o also_o forsake_v they_o and_o so_o find_v mercy_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o be_v not_o always_o complain_v that_o they_o do_v those_o thing_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v but_o know_v his_o will_n and_o do_v it_o and_o be_v bless_v in_o their_o deed_n and_o again_o in_o that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o lord_n prayer_n they_o general_o say_v our_o

of_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n and_o set_v up_o some_o other_o way_n of_o prayer_n as_o more_o excellent_a yet_o whilst_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o will_v of_o man_n conceive_v it_o and_o perform_v it_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o ground_n between_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v and_o that_o which_o they_o set_v up_o and_o practice_v neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o any_o more_o than_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v and_o though_o such_o prayer_n may_v not_o appear_v so_o formal_a as_o those_o that_o be_v common_o use_v in_o the_o

other_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o be_v conceive_v and_o perform_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o true_a prayer_n neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o more_o than_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o differ_v in_o nothing_o but_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o however_o they_o may_v differ_v in_o the_o practice_n yet_o they_o meet_v in_o
