the_o danger_n you_o be_v daily_a subject_n to_o for_o the_o strengthen_v you_o against_o all_o your_o temptation_n for_o the_o pardon_v of_o all_o your_o sin_n sure_o your_o daily_a want_n your_o daily_a infirmity_n daily_a danger_n your_o daily_a temptation_n and_o your_o daily_a sin_n do_v all_o call_v upon_o you_o for_o your_o daily_a prayer_n in_o your_o family_n for_o your_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a will_v not_o excuse_v the_o neglect_v thereof_o beside_o this_o i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o church_n this_o day_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n that_o in_o her_o doctrine_n do_v encourage_v real_a goodness_n more_o or_o strive_v more_o to_o keep_v the_o balance_n even_o that_o god_n may_v have_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n and_o man_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v man_n than_o the_o church_n we_o now_o live_v in_o and_o how_o you_o will_v vindicate_v yourself_o in_o the_o last_o day_n for_o this_o neglect_v i_o

the_o last_o day_n if_o you_o do_v not_o pray_v with_o your_o family_n at_o home_n as_o well_o as_o bring_v they_o to_o church_n why_o will_v you_o profess_v yourself_o her_o member_n if_o you_o will_v not_o obey_v her_o doctrine_n what_o do_v you_o go_v to_o church_n for_o only_o to_o drive_v away_o the_o time_n or_o to_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n do_v you_o think_v the_o minister_n be_v send_v to_o preach_v to_o you_o in_o vain_a if_o you_o think_v he_o do_v not_o preach_v the_o truth_n why_o will_v you_o go_v to_o hear_v he_o if_o he_o do_v preach_v the_o truth_n why_o will_v you_o not_o set_v about_o to_o practise_v what_o he_o say_v do_v you_o think_v that_o god_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o neglect_n or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o call_v you_o to_o a_o account_n for_o it_o yes_o yes_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o you_o as_o he_o say_v to_o the_o prophet_n they_o come_v before_o thou_o as_o my_o people_n and_o they_o hear_v my_o word_n but_o will_v

shall_v reign_v over_o they_o bring_v hither_o and_o slay_v they_o before_o i_o man_n perhaps_o can_v see_v this_o neglect_n but_o god_n and_o angel_n see_v it_o yes_o and_o devil_n too_o which_o will_v all_o be_v witness_n against_o you_o in_o the_o last_o day_n of_o account_n o_o how_o will_v you_o wish_v when_o you_o come_v to_o die_v you_o have_v perform_v this_o duty_n more_o yourself_o instead_o of_o laugh_v at_o those_o that_o do_v it_o as_o too_o often_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o man_n blame_v the_o dissenter_n for_o their_o use_v extemporè_fw-la prayer_n in_o their_o family_n when_o they_o themselves_o use_v none_o at_o all_o in_o they_o and_o think_v their_o bare_a be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o go_v to_o church_n once_o a_o week_n be_v a_o

of_o another_o persuasion_n who_o be_v only_o mistake_v or_o mislead_v in_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n or_o false_a notion_n of_o other_o man_n you_o condemn_v your_o own_o neglect_n and_o this_o all_o man_n will_v allow_v that_o he_o that_o be_v mislead_v in_o matter_n of_o judgement_n be_v more_o to_o be_v excuse_v than_o that_o man_n who_o live_v contrary_a to_o a_o know_a command_n for_o the_o last_o be_v condemn_v in_o his_o own_o judgement_n if_o he_o will_v but_o take_v time_n to_o consider_v it_o and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o brother_n you_o will_v find_v it_o a_o very_a beneficial_a and_o very_a easy_a duty_n when_o love_n engage_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o what_o can_v there_o be_v more_o easy_a than_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o to_o represent_v our_o

prayer_n consider_v how_o many_o excellent_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o prayer_n and_o that_o nothing_o dispose_v we_o more_o to_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o a_o blessing_n upon_o our_o

of_o our_o sin_n for_o prayer_n can_v open_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o shut_v the_o gate_n of_o hell_n it_o can_v open_v the_o treasure_n of_o rain_n and_o soften_v the_o iron_n rock_n till_o they_o melt_v into_o tear_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o high_a honour_n that_o we_o dust_n and_o ash_n be_v admit_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o eternal_a god_n to_o run_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o father_n to_o complain_v of_o our_o burden_n to_o explicate_v our_o scruple_n to_o beg_v remedy_n and_o ease_n support_v and_o comfort_n health_n and_o safety_n counsel_n and_o salvation_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o unreasonable_a than_o to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n upon_o which_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a blessing_n both_o upon_o yourself_o and_o family_n do_v depend_v how_o unkind_a be_v you_o to_o yourself_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o unkind_a to_o all_o that_o be_v about_o you_o i_o mean_v unkind_a to_o their_o soul_n and_o extreme_o uncharitable_a to_o take_v no_o care_n at_o all_o of_o this_o duty_n for_o the_o neglect_v of_o which_o god_n often_o send_v great_a judgement_n upon_o a_o whole_a family_n either_o by_o sore_a 25._o jer._n 10._o 25._o affliction_n

it_o be_v with_o that_o coldness_n and_o sleepiness_n that_o i_o may_v call_v it_o none_o at_o all_o or_o at_o least_o lip-service_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v a_o sleep_n and_o by_o your_o example_n perhaps_o your_o child_n and_o servant_n think_v it_o not_o their_o duty_n to_o go_v to_o prayer_n at_o all_o neither_o night_n nor_o morning_n and_o so_o they_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o rise_v the_o

about_o this_o duty_n yourself_o that_o you_o may_v not_o have_v sin_n of_o other_o to_o answer_v for_o as_o well_o as_o your_o own_o take_v up_o that_o brave_a resolution_n of_o the_o prophet_n
