we_o do_v know_v in_o common_a reason_n that_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n to_o request_v earnest_o a_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n that_o we_o know_v he_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o do_v for_o us._n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v if_o a_o man_n be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o help_v we_o when_o we_o have_v occasion_n to_o use_v he_o according_o as_o he_o have_v former_o promise_v we_o what_o need_v we_o be_v so_o earnest_a so_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v help_v we_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o why_o be_v fervency_n then_o so_o necessary_a to_o the_o former_a part_n or_o proposition_n i_o answer_v that_o good_a manner_n require_v so_o much_o for_o otherwise_o 1._o we_o shall_v seem_v rather_o to_o ask_v a_o thing_n of_o he_o than_o to_o entreat_v he_o as_o though_o for_o some_o respect_n he_o be_v as_o much_o behold_v unto_o we_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n 2._o we_o shall_v seem_v rather_o to_o require_v a_o thing_n of_o he_o then_o to_o desire_v it_o 3._o we_o shall_v cause_v he_o to_o think_v that_o we_o have_v no_o great_a need_n of_o that_o which_o we_o request_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o humble_a beggar_n which_o crave_v earnest_o do_v speed_n better_o than_o he_o that_o ask_v careless_o and_o much_o better_a than_o he_o that_o ask_v command_o to_o the_o second_o part_n or_o reddition_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o god_n as_o a_o poor_a harmless_a beggar_n come_v to_o a_o king_n to_o crave_v alm_n in_o who_o presence_n we_o must_v esteem_v ourselves_o as_o but_o a_o flea_n as_o david_n term_v himself_o before_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 24._o 15._o yea_o as_o dust_n and_o ash_n as_o abraham_n term_v himself_o approach_v near_o to_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o to_o call_v and_o cry_n and_o as_o it_o be_v clamourous_o to_o follow_v after_o he_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o turn_v his_o back_n even_o as_o the_o beggar_n do_v and_o as_o the_o poor_a widow_n in_o the_o gospel_n do_v that_o cleave_v to_o the_o unjust_a judge_n like_o a_o burr_n till_o she_o have_v her_o petition_n grant_v and_o this_o be_v indeed_o a_o special_a fruit_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o a_o evident_a sign_n of_o trust_n in_o god_n for_o hereby_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v our_o only_a help_n and_o none_o other_o and_o therefore_o we_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o he_o as_o be_v otherwise_o destitute_a helpless_a and_o hopeless_a this_o be_v the_o continual_a practice_n of_o david_n on_o this_o manner_n to_o pray_v this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o cananitish_a woman_n who_o daughter_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n matth._n 15._o 22._o which_o christ_n there_o take_v for_o a_o special_a argument_n of_o her_o faith_n wherefore_o be_v balaak_n so_o earnest_a with_o balaam_n to_o come_v and_o curse_n israel_n even_o because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a man_n in_o his_o kingdom_n on_o who_o help_n he_o rely_v and_o wherein_o he_o most_o trust_v i_o know_v say_v he_o that_o he_o who_o thou_o bless_v be_v bless_v and_o he_o who_o thou_o curse_v be_v curse_v num._n 22._o 6._o upon_o this_o knowledge_n and_o confidence_n be_v he_o so_o earnest_a with_o he_o likewise_o upon_o our_o knowledge_n acknowledgement_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n be_v we_o earnest_n with_o he_o otherwise_o our_o prayer_n be_v cold_a and_o drowsy_a heartless_a and_o lippe-labour_n yea_o almost_o say_n in_o our_o heart_n with_o the_o wicked_a what_o profit_n shall_v we_o have_v if_o we_o pray_v to_o the_o almighty_a a_o special_a example_n of_o this_o fervency_n in_o prayer_n see_v psalm_n 143._o
