give_v several_a deliverance_n from_o time_n to_o time_n indeed_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o see_v a_o answer_n to_o some_o of_o our_o request_n at_o all_o in_o our_o own_o time_n we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o live_v to_o see_v the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_a or_o the_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o day_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o make_n of_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n complete_o glorious_a again_o it_o may_v be_v we_o may_v not_o live_v to_o see_v the_o answer_n of_o many_o of_o our_o other_o petition_n which_o be_v put_v up_o and_o for_o which_o we_o be_v to_o expect_v daily_a tiding_n of_o some_o preparation_n at_o least_o towards_o their_o accomplishment_n as_o namely_o the_o call_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o spread_n of_o the_o gospel_n at_o once_o into_o all_o place_n the_o joint_a profession_n of_o christ_n public_o and_o unanimous_o in_o all_o kingdom_n and_o among_o all_o people_n prayer_n for_o such_o thing_n be_v put_v up_o by_o we_o it_o may_v be_v in_o our_o age_n but_o the_o age_n to_o come_v will_v see_v the_o fruit_n of_o they_o only_o this_o know_v that_o when_o the_o heart_n firm_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o that_o god_n will_v in_o his_o due_a time_n accomplish_v these_o than_o there_o be_v some_o answer_n of_o our_o prayer_n because_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o pray_v for_o these_o work_v belief_n and_o carry_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o look_v beyond_o all_o difficulty_n and_o all_o time_n and_o by_o faith_n to_o see_v they_o as_o certain_o as_o if_o they_o be_v already_o come_v to_o pass_v thus_o abraham_n by_o faith_n see_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o rejoice_v and_o so_o we_o by_o faith_n see_v the_o answer_n of_o all_o the_o petition_n we_o have_v put_v up_o and_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v 56._o therefore_o know_v that_o when_o they_o shall_v be_v grant_v the_o grant_n of_o they_o will_v be_v every_o way_n answerable_a to_o that_o which_o we_o former_o believe_v and_o pray_v for_o but_o moreover_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v in_o our_o time_n as_o perhaps_o some_o particular_a mercy_n for_o ourselves_o or_o other_o or_o for_o the_o whole_a church_n now_o after_o prayer_n we_o must_v wait_v for_o a_o answer_n thereby_o show_v our_o dependency_n on_o god_n so_o the_o psalmist_n as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n look_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n and_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o maiden_n unto_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o mistress_n so_o our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n 2._o our_o god_n until_o that_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o it_o may_v be_v god_n will_v not_o grant_v that_o very_a deliverance_n which_o have_v be_v pray_v for_o but_o some_o other_o yet_o than_o the_o prayer_n be_v answer_v though_o not_o in_o the_o very_a particular_a which_o be_v desire_v a_o man_n perhaps_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v root_v out_o and_o destroy_v all_o enemy_n god_n please_v to_o cut_v off_o some_o but_o he_o will_v not_o slay_v all_o lest_o his_o people_n forget_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o scatter_v they_o by_o his_o power_n and_o bring_v they_o down_o and_o though_o perhaps_o 11._o god_n give_v not_o a_o speedy_a deliverance_n yet_o he_o answer_v the_o prayer_n for_o the_o present_a when_o the_o heart_n be_v afterward_o more_o humble_a and_o more_o careful_a to_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o be_v more_o dependent_a on_o he_o and_o be_v still_o more_o earnest_a to_o seek_v and_o cry_v unto_o he_o and_o be_v thankful_a for_o any_o favour_n though_o never_o so_o little_a for_o any_o deliverance_n for_o any_o safety_n vouchsafe_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o still_o continue_v likewise_o god_n hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o for_o the_o present_a give_v a_o answer_n unto_o they_o or_o rather_o assurance_n that_o he_o will_v in_o due_a time_n answer_v they_o when_o he_o fill_v the_o heart_n with_o content_a to_o be_v deny_v and_o to_o magnify_v he_o however_o thus_o let_v we_o pray_v but_o with_o a_o expectation_n of_o a_o answer_n to_o our_o prayer_n when_o god_n give_v deliverance_n it_o will_v be_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o prayer_n desire_n wish_n long_n and_o expectation_n of_o his_o people_n by_o terrible_a thing_n thou_o will_v answer_v oh_o god_n of_o our_o salvation_n so_o much_o for_o the_o three_o

such_o who_o betake_v they_o to_o his_o appoint_a mean_n it_o be_v a_o delusion_n to_o think_v to_o come_v to_o heaven_n without_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n to_o it_o it_o be_v as_o if_o man_n expect_v

in_o the_o land_n of_o 13._o the_o live_n thus_o every_o one_o good_a and_o bad_a may_v try_v whether_o they_o have_v make_v the_o lord_n their_o confidence_n 2._o there_o be_v also_o some_o sign_n
