be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n a_o good_a god_n be_v not_o please_v but_o with_o good_a thing_n he_o be_v please_v with_o this_o prayer_n this_o prayer_n therefore_o be_v a_o good_a work_n a_o good_a thing_n early_o in_o the_o morning_n will_v i_o direct_v my_o prayer_n unto_o thou_o and_o will_v look_v up_o 5.4_o for_o thou_o be_v the_o god_n that_o

have_v his_o church_n gather_v together_o after_o this_o sort_n and_o therefore_o prayer_n to_o be_v make_v for_o all._n to_o this_o point_n come_v that_o that_o we_o have_v hitherto_o set_v down_n in_o both_o these_o chapter_n first_o the_o proposition_n be_v make_v plain_a and_o prove_v that_o prayer_n supplication_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v to_o be_v make_v for_o all_o mankind_n second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v expound_v to_o maintain_v the_o proposition_n in_o such_o ample_a sort_n as_o be_v require_v and_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n thirdlie_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o learned_a gather_v hereupon_o be_v add_v also_o as_o that_o such_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v make_v for_o all_o that_o there_o may_v be_v make_v a_o change_n of_o they_o that_o of_o persecutor_n they_o may_v be_v make_v cherisher_n see_v he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o his_o image_n we_o shall_v exercise_v our_o charity_n one_o towards_o another_o we_o must_v have_v compassion_n on_o the_o destruction_n of_o infidel_n we_o must_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o god_n that_o give_v his_o sun_n and_o his_o rain_n to_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n his_o son_n that_o pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n we_o must_v hope_v well_o because_o they_o be_v create_v to_o god_n image_n we_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o damnation_n god_n may_v do_v as_o much_o for_o they_o as_o he_o do_v for_o we_o we_o may_v not_o despair_v of_o they_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o be_v well_o please_v to_o god_n we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n to_o set_v forward_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n our_o love_n must_v not_o be_v a_o straitlaced_a love_n but_o a_o gospell-like_a love_n to_o love_v even_o the_o wicked_a if_o god_n give_v his_o son_n for_o all_o if_o christ_n offer_v himself_o for_o a_o redemption_n for_o all_o we_o must_v endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n that_o his_o death_n may_v be_v avileable_a to_o all_o and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o such_o a_o prayer_n be_v neither_o superstitious_a nor_o superfluous_a nor_o more_o charitable_a than_o god_n require_v but_o most_o holy_a accept_v religious_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mind_n purpose_n and_o will_v of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o two_o first_o
