by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o minister_n etc._n etc._n 2._o consider_v the_o word_n as_o they_o be_v a_o introduction_n to_o prayer_n then_o observe_v 1._o in_o general_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v rash_a when_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n but_o to_o use_v some_o preparation_n before_o we_o perform_v so_o holy_a a_o duty_n for_o we_o be_v like_o viol_n hang_v by_o they_o must_v be_v tune_v before_o they_o can_v make_v music_n and_o though_o we_o find_v ourselves_o in_o tune_n and_o sit_v for_o worldly_a employment_n yet_o we_o must_v have_v a_o high_a preparation_n or_o tune_v for_o religious_a duty_n to_o be_v tune_v the_o plain_a way_n will_v serve_v well_o enough_o for_o worldly_a employment_n but_o we_o must_v be_v tune_v like_o david_n harp_n to_o fit_v we_o to_o sound_v out_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n indeed_o we_o shall_v perform_v temporal_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a heart_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o more_o spiritual_a frame_n and_o preparation_n of_o heart_n in_o holy_a duty_n christ_n superad_v a_o second_o blessing_n to_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n when_o he_o set_v they_o apart_o as_o sacramental_a element_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 2._o if_o you_o take_v these_o word_n as_o a_o introduction_n to_o prayer_n observe_v 1._o that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v high_a and_o good_a thought_n of_o god_n when_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o or_o else_o we_o shall_v never_o perform_v the_o duty_n with_o that_o confidence_n and_o reverence_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v neither_o of_o these_o alone_o will_v serve_v to_o affect_v we_o with_o that_o spiritual_a frame_n of_o heart_n as_o be_v require_v and_o therefore_o the_o heathen_n with_o all_o their_o philosophical_a notion_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n can_v not_o raise_v up_o their_o heart_n to_o a_o true_a confidence_n for_o those_o notion_n do_v at_o best_a but_o amaze_n and_o astonish_v they_o it_o can_v not_o breed_v in_o they_o confidence_n nay_o further_o we_o must_v not_o only_o have_v a_o apprehension_n of_o the_o greatness_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o general_n and_o rest_v there_o but_o we_o must_v get_v and_o endeavour_v to_o know_v our_o interest_n in_o god_n for_o gracious_a god_n be_v a_o word_n which_o signify_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o general_n but_o our_o father_n signify_v relation_n and_o interest_n 3._o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v to_o any_o but_o to_o god_n not_o to_o angel_n for_o god_n by_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v we_o to_o worship_v they_o col._n 2._o and_o the_o angel_n themselves_o forbid_v we_o to_o worship_v they_o revel_v 19.10_o &_o 21.9_o nay_o the_o word_n be_v speak_v as_o it_o be_v in_o passion_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o passion_n and_o will_v have_v a_o thing_n hasty_o do_v or_o leave_v undo_v his_o expression_n be_v very_o abrupt_a and_o break_a he_o be_v so_o earnest_a that_o he_o can_v stay_v whilst_o his_o tongue_n do_v speak_v so_o many_o word_n as_o will_v signify_v what_o he_o will_v have_v but_o by_o his_o pronunciation_n and_o gesture_n at_o the_o same_o time_n signify_v the_o rest_n of_o that_o which_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o stay_v from_o signify_v until_o his_o tongue_n can_v speak_v the_o whole_a nay_o in_o passion_n the_o tongue_n speak_v otherwise_o then_o by_o word_n viz._n by_o pronunciation_n only_o
