long_a a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n the_o holy_a he_o be_v take_v up_o another_o ground_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o allure_a argument_n to_o draw_v the_o heart_n to_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o

a_o filthy_a and_o pollute_a life_n mark_v our_o nature_n for_o the_o lord_n know_v it_o well_o and_o according_a to_o it_o he_o set_v down_o argument_n in_o order_n there_o be_v not_o one_o but_o ere_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o must_v be_v strait_v and_o necessity_n lay_v upon_o their_o back_n otherways_o we_o will_v never_o seek_v to_o christ_n because_o we_o be_v stubborn_a by_o

when_o we_o be_v strait_v this_o way_n except_o we_o be_v obstinate_a we_o will_v run_v to_o christ_n next_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o boast_v a_o man_n if_o there_o be_v but_o boast_v only_o there_o will_v be_v no_o belief_n the_o lord_n know_v this_o well_o and_o therefore_o he_o subjoin_v to_o this_o a_o fair_a allure_a argument_n we_o must_v not_o begin_v with_o fair_a word_n but_o we_o must_v straight_o man_n as_o they_o will_v live_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o then_o come_v on_o with_o sweet_a promise_n if_o the_o lord_n move_v we_o not_o with_o fair_a promise_n we_o will_v be_v obstinate_a for_o ever_o sure_o when_o a_o man_n see_v he_o must_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o if_o he_o do_v it_o he_o will_v get_v such_o a_o reward_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o sap_n to_o bring_v forth_o a_o holy_a life_n well_o will_v he_o say_v i_o see_v not_o only_o a_o necesitie_n to_o believe_v but_o i_o see_v also_o that_o if_o i_o do_v it_o i_o shall_v b●_n

and_o stick_v upon_o he_o and_o thou_o shall_v see_v a_o bless_a end_n now_o another_o thing_n i_o gather_v i_o see_v here_o he_o count_v much_o of_o good_a work_n which_o he_o call_v fruit_n &_o

he_o call_v he_o holy_a for_o as_o he_o love_v he_o so_o he_o reverence_v he_o holiness_n crave_v reverence_n and_o that_o holy_a god_n what_o reverence_n ought_v he_o to_o have_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v name_v nor_o think_v on_o but_o with_o reverence_n of_o the_o heart_n then_o he_o say_v and_o keep_v they_o in_o thy_o name_n that_o be_v by_o thy_o divine_a power_n this_o word_n rise_v on_o a_o confidence_n of_o a_o wonderful_a power_n in_o the_o father_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v and_o keep_v they_o in_o none_o other_o name_n but_o in_o his_o own_o now_o look_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o pray_v the_o heart_n be_v dispose_v with_o a_o wonderful_a reverence_n and_o love_n to_o his_o father_n and_o brethren_n i_o count_v this_o argument_n of_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v howbeit_o they_o be_v very_o many_o mighty_a and_o strong_a this_o same_o disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n i_o say_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o forcibl_a to_o move_v the_o father_n the_o inward_a disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o love_n and_o reverence_n be_v most_o forcible_a to_o move_v the_o father_n to_o keep_v his_o disciple_n look_v in_o prayer_n to_o the_o disposition_n of_o thy_o heart_n for_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n what_o do_v we_o all_o argument_n wherefore_o avail_v it_o to_o heap_v on_o argument_n to_o move_v god_n if_o thou_o have_v no_o good_a disposition_n in_o thy_o heart_n in_o prayer_n wherefore_o use_v thou_o word_n when_o thou_o have_v a_o unbelieved_n heart_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v no_o love_n nor_o reverence_n nor_o no_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o then_o again_o when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v well_o dispose_v in_o pray_v with_o a_o holy_a affection_n to_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o reverence_n and_o with_o a_o confidence_n in_o he_o than_o few_o word_n and_o few_o argument_n will_v serve_v it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v few_o word_n in_o pray_v with_o love_n and_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o holy_a disposition_n than_o to_o pray_v all_o the_o day_n without_o the_o inward_a disposition_n james_n say_v chap._n 5._o vers_fw-la 16._o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o faithful_a man_n avail_v much_o if_o it_o be_v servant_n he_o say_v not_o if_o he_o use_v many_o reason_n or_o word_n but_o if_o he_o have_v a_o zeal_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n than_o it_o be_v acceptable_a this_o be_v know_v by_o experience_n they_o who_o know_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n they_o will_v account_v more_o of_o it_o than_o of_o all_o the_o world_n so_o you_o see_v this_o disposition_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o chief_a argument_n to_o move_v the_o father_n he_o have_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o his_o heart_n be_v clean_o and_o his_o love_n be_v perfect_a without_o any_o mixture_n of_o hatred_n or_o any_o other_o sinful_a infirmity_n all_o our_o affection_n our_o

of_o our_o soul_n but_o well_o be_v that_o soul_n that_o get_v any_o love_n or_o any_o confidence_n or_o any_o reverence_n etc._n etc._n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o affection_n to_o they_o for_o who_o the_o lord_n pray_v i_o pray_v even_o for_o they_o who_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o no_o question_n when_o he_o say_v who_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o he_o take_v they_o into_o his_o heart_n he_o embrace_v they_o into_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o affection_n gripe_v to_o they_o when_o as_o he_o call_v they_o he_o no_o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n call_v thou_o his_o he_o will_v take_v thou_o into_o his_o heart_n and_o his_o affection_n will_v gripe_v thou_o now_o certain_o as_o the_o affection_n to_o his_o father_n be_v a_o great_a argument_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o father_n so_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o other_o the_o affection_n towards_o other_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n to_o move_v god_n and_o as_o we_o respect_v the_o one_o have_v a_o zeal_n and_o a_o affection_n to_o god_n so_o we_o shall_v respect_v the_o other_o have_v true_a love_n towards_o other_o look_v that_o thy_o heart_n hate_v not_o the_o person_n of_o he_o for_o who_o thou_o pray_v otherways_o thou_o scorn_v god_n in_o thy_o prayer_n and_o when_o thou_o pray_v for_o any_o look_v that_o thou_o love_v that_o person_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o person_n for_o who_o thou_o pray_v be_v aye_o join_v together_o if_o thou_o love_v not_o the_o person_n for_o who_o thou_o pray_v it_o be_v sure_a thou_o love_v not_o god_n far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v here_o that_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o prayer_n this_o argument_n be_v oft_o repeat_v they_o who_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o this_o be_v the_o third_o time_n that_o it_o be_v

so_o often_o repeat_v any_o other_o argument_n as_o this_o they_o be_v thy_o choose_a they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o have_v double_v and_o tripled_a this_o argument_n there_o be_v some_o ground_n of_o this_o this_o must_v be_v the_o most_o special_a thing_n that_o move_v the_o lord_n to_o pray_v for_o his_o disciple_n because_o they_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o the_o father_n have_v concredit_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o put_v they_o into_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o he_o let_v it_o never_o go_v out_o of_o his_o heart_n that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v they_o unto_o he_o father_n say_v he_o thou_o have_v give_v they_o unto_o i_o therefore_o father_n keep_v they_o there_o be_v not_o a_o faithful_a man_n or_o woman_n but_o if_o god_n will_n concredite_fw-la any_o to_o their_o care_n and_o protection_n the_o most_o special_a thing_n that_o will_v move_v they_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o be_v that_o god_n have_v concredit_v they_o unto_o they_o therefore_o they_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n for_o they_o and_o even_o by_o the_o contrary_a they_o who_o have_v not_o a_o respect_n to_o they_o who_o be_v concredit_v unto_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o god_n have_v put_v such_o person_n into_o their_o hand_n to_o provide_v for_o they_o that_o person_n say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v worse_a than_o a_o infidel_n that_o person_n who_o have_v get_v a_o family_n to_o care_n for_o and_o neglect_v it_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o infidel_n so_o this_o shall_v move_v we_o to_o care_n for_o other_o because_o the_o
