beside_o himself_o no_o nor_o himself_o neither_o but_o only_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o it_o shall_v here_o here_o be_v all_o the_o power_n and_o energy_n of_o prayer_n god_n have_v command_v it_o for_o other_o as_o well_o as_o for_o ourselves_o and_o in_o six_o hundred_o place_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v overcome_v by_o it_o at_o such_o time_n and_o in_o such_o way_n as_o he_o see_v most_o fit_a and_o necessary_a so_o not_o the_o prayer_n themselves_o but_o god_n promise_v that_o upon_o our_o prayer_n he_o will_v do_v so_o and_o so_o this_o be_v the_o all_o in_o all._n but_o if_o those_o six_o hundred_o promise_n be_v not_o in_o scripture_n so_o express_v yet_o the_o command_n for_o pray_v for_o other_o be_v most_o express_a it_o be_v enough_o because_o as_o every_o promise_n almost_o do_v suppose_v a_o command_n so_o also_o do_v every_o command_n imply_v a_o promise_n this_o command_n for_o instance_n for_o intercession_n that_o prevail_v it_o shall_v for_o god_n never_o command_v frivolous_a fruitless_a and_o successless_a thing_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o event_n and_o real_a effect_n of_o prayer_n the_o word_n they_o be_v teach_v inform_v we_o to_o this_o purpose_n 1._o that_o the_o creature_n be_v to_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o issue_n to_o god_n the_o event_n be_v god_n care_n and_o business_n not_o the_o creature_n mark_v 4.26_o

and_o grow_v up_o he_o know_v not_o how_o 2._o that_o the_o event_n be_v always_o that_o which_o be_v best_a though_o not_o that_o which_o the_o votary_n do_v particular_o aim_v at_o as_o when_o
