these_o breathe_n to_o god_n for_o grace_n and_o comfort_n these_o spiritual_a breathe_n they_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o spring_n within_o and_o spirit_n within_o whence_o these_o vapour_n and_o

accept_v of_o they_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o often_o enter_v into_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o examine_v what_o our_o desire_n be_v which_o way_n the_o bent_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v what_o

thy_o name_n and_o prosper_v i_o pray_v thou_o thy_o servant_n this_o day_n now_o he_o come_v to_o his_o petition_n prosper_v i_o pray_v thou_o thy_o servant_n this_o day_n he_o do_v not_o

we_o come_v to_o god_n to_o look_v in_o what_o relation_n we_o stand_v to_o he_o whether_o we_o be_v true_a servant_n or_o no_o what_o work_n we_o do_v for_o he_o in_o what_o reference_n we_o do_v what_o we_o do_v whether_o we_o do_v it_o to_o please_v he_o as_o servant_n or_o no_o i_o say_v something_o of_o the_o relation_n of_o servant_n before_o i_o will_v add_v a_o little_a here_o because_o he_o repeat_v it_o four_o or_o five_o time_n in_o this_o short_a prayer_n in_o all_o our_o service_n we_o shall_v look_v to_o god_n for_o our_o aim_n in_o our_o work_n show_v what_o they_o be_v simile_n whether_o they_o come_v from_o servant_n or_o no_o as_o the_o stamp_n upon_o a_o token_n make_v it_o if_o there_o be_v a_o good_a stamp_n on_o it_o it_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n that_o

they_o to_o please_v god_n as_o a_o service_n to_o he_o this_o make_v it_o good_a that_o we_o be_v servant_n indeed_o that_o the_o relation_n be_v good_a when_o we_o go_v about_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n or_o country_n or_o place_n we_o live_v in_o to_o think_v i_o do_v god_n service_n here_o and_o do_v it_o as_o a_o service_n to_o god_n who_o will_v be_v honour_v and_o serve_v in_o

what_o we_o do_v with_o a_o eye_n to_o god_n in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o have_v set_v we_o that_o we_o do_v it_o as_o to_o he_o we_o be_v god_n servant_n whatsoever_o the_o work_n be_v and_o let_v we_o remember_v oft_o to_o think_v of_o it_o to_o bring_v it_o in_o our_o prayer_n master_n say_v they_o when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v drown_v do_v thou_o not_o care_n that_o we_o perish_v they_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o relation_n they_o be_v in_o to_o he_o so_o when_o we_o can_v put_v god_n in_o mind_n of_o our_o relation_n father_n we_o be_v thy_o child_n lord_n we_o be_v thy_o servant_n it_o will_v strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o hope_n of_o all_o good_a will_v a_o master_n suffer_v his_o servant_n to_o miscarry_v in_o his_o service_n sure_o god_n will_v never_o

a_o word_n of_o service_n on_o our_o part_n so_o it_o be_v a_o promise_a word_n of_o all_o good_a from_o god_n do_v he_o expect_v that_o master_n shall_v be_v good_a to_o their_o servant_n because_o they_o have_v a_o master_n in_o heaven_n and_o will_v not_o the_o great_a master_n of_o heaven_n be_v good_a to_o his_o servant_n you_o see_v how_o he_o follow_v the_o relation_n prosper_v thy_o

which_o be_v a_o good_a disposition_n when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o then_o again_o to_o attribute_v to_o god_n all_o both_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o goodness_n and_o all_o here_o be_v a_o give_n to_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o all_o when_o he_o say_v prosper_v thy_o servant_n this_o day_n then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n here_o be_v a_o dependence_n upon_o god_n not_o only_o acknowledge_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v in_o god_n but_o it_o imply_v a_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o these_o prosper_v i_o lord_n i_o can_v prosper_v myself_o and_o thou_o who_o be_v the_o creator_n have_v wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o goodness_n enough_o therefore_o i_o depend_v upon_o thou_o upon_o thy_o wisdom_n for_o direction_n and_o upon_o thy_o strength_n for_o assistance_n i_o

recommendation_n of_o his_o inward_a dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o all_o denial_n now_o lord_n prosper_v thy_o servant_n so_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n for_o any_o prosperity_n and_o good_a success_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o we_o bring_v self-denial_n and_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o all_o excellency_n to_o be_v in_o god_n to_o guide_v and_o direct_v and_o assist_v and_o

and_o our_o soul_n may_v close_v together_o and_o then_o commend_v all_o by_o prayer_n to_o cast_v ourselves_o and_o our_o affair_n and_o to_o roll_v ourselves_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o all_o upon_o god_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v do_v as_o the_o holy_a man_n nehemiah_n do_v here_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o good_a purpose_n that_o

to_o come_v again_o and_o again_o god_n love_v to_o hear_v the_o same_o song_n again_o and_o again_o this_o music_n be_v nottedious_a but_o please_v to_o he_o and_o this_o press_v be_v for_o we_o to_o

give_v over_o till_o we_o have_v thorough_o warm_v our_o heart_n be_v attentive_a be_v attentive_a to_o my_o prayer_n and_o if_o i_o will_v not_o prevail_v be_v attentive_a to_o the_o prayer_n of_o other_o let_v the_o prayer_n of_o all_o prevail_v the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n and_o of_o thy_o servant_n but_o how_o do_v he_o make_v it_o good_a they_o be_v thy_o servant_n they_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n empty_a relation_n have_v no_o comfort_n in_o they_o they_o to_o profess_v one_o self_n a_o servant_n and_o not_o to_o make_v it_o good_a that_o he_o be_v a_o servant_n we_o must_v make_v good_a the_o relation_n we_o stand_v in_o to_o god_n before_o we_o can_v claim_v interest_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n by_o our_o relation_n servant_n and_o christian_n and_o professor_n here_o be_v glorious_a title_n but_o if_o they_o be_v empty_a title_n if_o we_o can_v make_v they_o good_a when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n with_o they_o we_o can_v say_v we_o have_v any_o interest_n in_o god_n from_o empty_a title_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n god_n will_v be_v honour_v in_o all_o those_o that_o come_v near_o he_o either_o in_o their_o obedience_n or_o in_o their_o confusion_n therefore_o here_o the_o holy_a man_n do_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o say_v thy_o servant_n and_o thy_o servant_n but_o who_o desire_n to_o fear_v thy_o

will_v not_o now_o stand_v to_o speak_v large_o of_o god_n require_v the_o heart_n affection_n and_o religion_n be_v most_o in_o manage_v and_o tune_v the_o affection_n for_o they_o be_v the_o wind_n that_o carry_v the_o soul_n to_o every_o duty_n simile_n a_o man_n be_v like_o the_o dead_a sea_n without_o affection_n religion_n be_v most_o in_o they_o the_o devil_n have_v brain_n enough_o he_o know_v enough_o more_o than_o any_o of_o we_o all_o but_o than_o he_o hate_v god_n he_o have_v no_o love_n to_o god_n nor_o no_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o only_o a_o slavish_a fear_n he_o have_v not_o this_o reverential_a fear_n childlike_a fear_n therefore_o let_v we_o make_v it_o good_a that_o we_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n especial_o by_o our_o affection_n and_o chief_o by_o this_o of_o

he_o shall_v have_v say_v we_o turn_v to_o thou_o and_o obey_v thy_o commandment_n and_o desire_v to_o do_v they_o it_o be_v all_o one_o we_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n for_o those_o that_o

not_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n all_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o carcase_n of_o obedience_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o on_o that_o how_o do_v he_o make_v it_o good_a that_o he_o fear_v the_o name_n of_o god_n he_o make_v it_o good_a from_o this_o that_o he_o have_v good_a desire_n we_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n we_o desire_v it_o for_o the_o present_a and_o for_o the_o time_n to_o

soul_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o for_o the_o present_a regard_v thy_o servant_n that_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n affection_n for_o to_o come_v to_o god_n without_o such_o a_o

god_n regard_v his_o enemy_n when_o one_o come_v with_o a_o purpose_n to_o live_v in_o any_o sin_n without_o a_o desire_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v to_o regard_v all_o god_n commandment_n he_o

we_o must_v be_v able_a to_o say_v with_o good_a nehemiah_n when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n to_o make_v it_o good_a that_o we_o be_v servant_n indeed_o we_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n as_o

66._o if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v my_o prayer_n if_o a_o man_n do_v but_o regard_v to_o live_v in_o iniquity_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v the_o
