peradventure_o can_v not_o pray_v unto_o his_o father_n for_o that_o may_v seem_v to_o employ_v some_o disparagement_n to_o god_n the_o son_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o father_n &_o open_v a_o gap_n for_o the_o heresy_n of_o arrius_n but_o furthermore_o christ_n also_o be_v man_n and_o so_o make_v under_o the_o law_n and_o so_o can_v and_o may_v yea_o and_o aught_o to_o pray_v as_o be_v a_o creature_n bind_v to_o worship_v the_o creator_n yet_o beside_o this_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o both_o his_o nature_n he_o therefore_o pray_v according_a to_o both_o his_o nature_n 〈…〉_o my_o 〈…〉_o go●_n 〈…〉_o tho●_n 〈…〉_o etc._n etc._n 〈…〉_o thus_o his_o manhood_n active_o pour_v forth_o prayer_n his_o godhead_n dignify_n his_o prayer_n and_o make_v it_o meritorious_a and_o purchase_v audience_n christ_n pray_v to_o his_o father_n therefore_o as_o man_n and_o as_o the_o mediator_n now_o if_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o see_v himself_o be_v god_n he_o must_v therefore_o pray_v unto_o himself_o which_o may_v seem_v absurd_a or_o else_o if_o he_o do_v exclude_v himself_o then_o commit_v idolatry_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n direct_o and_o primary_o in_o respect_n of_o order_n the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n ordine_fw-la but_o indirect_o inclusivelie_o and_o secondary_o he_o pray_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o here_o the_o distinction_n of_o nature_n and_o person_n must_v be_v admit_v necessary_o again_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o no_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v if_o we_o say_v that_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n do_v pray_v unto_o the_o first_o that_o be_v do_v testify_v his_o will_n to_o have_v the_o church_n save_v but_o that_o be_v abusive_o in_o very_o hard_a catachresis_fw-la in_o sum_n it_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v pray_v to_o himself_o that_o be_v persuade_v himself_o to_o grant_v that_o which_o be_v for_o his_o own_o advantage_n for_o as_o affection_n or_o desire_v sometime_o obtain_v of_o a_o man_n that_o which_o his_o judgement_n disallow_v which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o prayer_n or_o entreaty_n or_o contrariwise_o as_o the_o judgement_n persuade_v the_o affection_n that_o which_o it_o dislike_v so_o christ-man_n may_v ask_v something_o of_o christ-god_n and_o no_o absurdity_n as_o it_o seem_v be_v admit_v second_o how_o christ_n can_v pray_v in_o faith_n god_n v._o 1_o 2_o my_o god_n for_o the_o further_a enlighten_v of_o this_o doubt_n a_o distinction_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v remember_v faith_n be_v legal_a and_o evangelical_a of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n faith_n require_v in_o the_o law_n adam_n have_v in_o paradise_n and_o christ_n have_v when_o he_o pray_v whereby_o the_o creature_n rely_v itself_o upon_o the_o creator_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o good_a thing_n &_o deliverance_n from_o all_o evil_a if_o christ_n have_v want_v this_o faith_n he_o have_v not_o present_o obey_v the_o law_n which_o to_o say_v be_v to_o blaspheme_v evangelicall_a faith_n or_o the_o faith_n require_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o whereby_o the_o creature_n rely_v itself_o upon_o god_n through_o christ_n and_o his_o mediator_n believe_v to_o obtain_v all_o good_a thing_n from_o he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o christ_n now_o although_o christ_n be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o make_v under_o the_o gospel_n for_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o sinner_n be_v himself_o be_v without_o sin_n he_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o author_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherefore_o to_o the_o christ_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n through_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o we_o be_v tie_v be_v to_o suppose_v he_o sinful_a by_o make_v he_o his_o own_o saviour_n wherefore_o to_o answer_v direct_o christ_n pray_v a_o legal_a prayer_n as_o adam_n do_v but_o christ_n pray_v not_o a_o evangelical_a prayer_n except_o we_o understand_v a_o evangeli-praier_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o he_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o which_o may_v rather_o be_v call_v a_o meritorious_a prayer_n christ_n pray_v in_o faith_n of_o god_n infinite_a mercy_n but_o not_o in_o faith_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n through_o a_o saviour_n which_o he_o need_v not_o and_o which_o we_o need_v three_o how_o be_v christ_n not_o hear_v when_o he_o pray_v roar_n v._o 2_o but_o thou_o hear_v not_o v._o 1._o far_o from_o the_o word_n of_o my_o roar_n there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n in_o holy_a scripture_n although_o there_o may_v sometime_o seem_v show_n of_o opposition_n we_o read_v in_o the_o heb._n 5.7_o that_o christ_n be_v hard_a from_o that_o which_o be_v fear_v here_o in_o this_o place_n we_o read_v that_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v christ_n but_o be_v far_o from_o the_o word_n of_o his_o roar_n in_o show_v here_o be_v a_o opposition_n but_o in_o substance_n thing_n be_v aright_o distinguish_v there_o be_v none_o the_o art_n of_o reason_n teach_v that_o one_o rule_n of_o opposition_n be_v that_o the_o thing_n oppose_v be_v opposite_a in_o the_o same_o sense_n secundum_fw-la idem_fw-la as_o the_o logician_n say_v now_o christ_n be_v hard_a in_o one_o sense_n and_o he_o be_v not_o hear_v in_o another_o sense_n and_o so_o the_o prophet_n &_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o opposite_a wherefore_o thus_o these_o two_o place_n be_v both_o verify_v and_o may_v well_o be_v reconcile_v christ_n be_v hear_v in_o that_o he_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n &_o again_o christ_n be_v not_o hear_v in_o that_o god_n wrath_n light_v upon_o he_o and_o possess_v his_o soul_n a_o competent_a season_n or_o thus_o 2._o christ_n be_v hear_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o prayer_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o if_o it_o be_v thy_o will_n and_o again_o christ_n be_v not_o hear_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o petition_n absolute_o consider_v without_o condition_n or_o thus_o 3._o christ_n be_v hear_v as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v hear_v to_o who_o sometime_o the_o lord_n deni_v the_o very_a particular_a thing_n they_o ask_v and_o in_o liewe_n thereof_o give_v they_o a_o thing_n as_o good_a or_o better_a than_o it_o 2._o cor._n 12.8_o 9_o so_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o deliver_v christ_n from_o his_o wrath_n for_o he_o taste_v the_o cup_n of_o his_o wrath_n as_o he_o say_v math._n 20.22_o but_o the_o lord_n give_v he_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o grace_n to_o bear_v it_o and_o to_o vanquish_v it_o at_o the_o length_n for_o even_o then_o do_v he_o overcome_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n when_o god_n wrath_n kill_v he_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o distinguish_v we_o see_v the_o prophet_n in_o this_o psalm_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v not_o at_o variance_n &_o so_o we_o perceive_v also_o how_o christ_n be_v not_o hear_v when_o he_o

affection_n be_v contrary_a to_o grace_n but_o subordinate_a to_o it_o and_o christ_n fear_v these_o thing_n natural_o and_o furthermore_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d heb._n 5.7_o signify_v a_o fearful_a and_o careful_a decline_a and_o avoid_v some_o imminent_a danger_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o mind_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o great_a anxiety_n and_o solicitude_n intend_v itself_o with_o all_o the_o power_n thereof_o to_o gainstand_v the_o impendent_a mischief_n and_o thus_o christ_n fear_v the_o dominion_n of_o death_n and_o god_n wrath_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n pray_v against_o it_o he_o be_v careful_o and_o reverent_o bufy_v about_o the_o recovery_n of_o himself_o and_o the_o redeem_n of_o we_o from_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o the_o sorrow_n of_o hell_n and_o because_o prayer_n be_v one_o excellent_a mean_n to_o furnish_v a_o christian_n captain_n against_o the_o enemy_n for_o obtain_v the_o victory_n therefore_o christ_n pray_v with_o strong_a cry_v and_o tear_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o save_v he_o from_o death_n eternal_a and_o be_v hear_v from_o that_o which_o he_o natural_o fear_v or_o rather_o from_o that_o for_o decline_v whereof_o he_o be_v reverent_o accumbr_v nature_n work_v in_o he_o fear_v of_o it_o and_o grace_n stir_v up_o prayer_n against_o it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n pray_v against_o that_o which_o he_o certain_o and_o full_o know_v shall_v never_o befall_v his_o disciple_n and_o as_o christ_n pray_v against_o the_o dominion_n of_o death_n and_o god_n wrath_n so_o he_o pray_v also_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n may_v not_o stay_v long_o upon_o he_o he_o be_v now_o already_o torment_v therewithal_o &_o so_o he_o say_v let_v it_o pass_v from_o i_o save_v i_o from_o this_o hour_n for_o further_a explication_n whereof_o consider_v 3._o proposition_n or_o axiom_n follow_v 1_o christ_n sustain_v the_o full_a wrath_n of_o god_n in_o his_o soul_n be_v whole_o busy_v in_o his_o whole_a soul_n and_o all_o the_o faculty_n thereof_o in_o apprehend_v feel_a and_o bear_v it_o so_o as_o the_o soul_n &_o faculty_n thereof_o be_v distract_v from_o all_o their_o object_n &_o whole_o apply_v hereunto_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o strange_a intermit_a of_o the_o function_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n mention_v v._o 14.15_o 2_o we_o must_v distinguish_v nature_n &_o natural_a infirmity_n from_o sin_n and_o sinful_a infirmity_n it_o be_v a_o natural_a infirmity_n for_o a_o man_n to_o sleep_v and_o be_v weary_a and_o so_o also_o sustain_v god_n wrath_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v release_v from_o it_o but_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o 3_o we_o must_v know_v that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o some_o thing_n as_o namely_o of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n mar._n 13.32_o for_o some_o ignorance_n be_v no_o sin_n as_o for_o a_o minister_n to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o manuarie_n trade_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v ignorant_a where_o hell_n be_v of_o the_o order_n of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n now_o for_o application_n of_o these_o three_o axiom_n sure_o it_o be_v that_o when_o christ_n pray_v he_o pray_v without_o the_o least_o spot_n of_o sin_n and_o either_o of_o these_o axiom_n rehearse_v will_v justify_v christ_n prayer_n from_o the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v think_v the_o first_o axiom_n justifi_v a_o certain_a oblivion_n or_o forgetfulness_n in_o christ_n when_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v interrupt_v through_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o whole_o seize_v with_o the_o intolerable_a pain_n thereof_o this_o i_o dare_v not_o peremptory_o say_v every_o way_n to_o be_v good_a and_o sound_a neither_o do_v i_o reproove_v it_o only_o thus_o much_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o fault_n for_o a_o man_n to_o forget_v when_o the_o aught_o to_o remember_v and_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v now_o a_o holy_a forgetfulness_n when_o he_o shall_v most_o of_o all_o remember_v even_o when_o he_o be_v to_o make_v the_o upshotte_n that_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v of_o our_o redemption_n be_v not_o present_o without_o further_a inquisition_n to_o be_v admit_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o second_o of_o these_o axiom_n it_o may_v be_v more_o probable_o answer_v that_o christ_n sustain_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n in_o he_o which_o desire_v relief_n from_o so_o extreme_a torment_n which_o be_v a_o natural_a sinless_a work_n say_v to_o his_o father_n let_v this_o cup_n pass_v save_v i_o from_o this_o hour_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o very_a self_n same_o moment_n of_o time_n that_o nature_n desire_v grace_n season_v and_o qualifi_v nature_n say_v not_o my_o natural_a will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v fulfil_v therefore_o come_v i_o into_o this_o hour_n so_o here_o there_o be_v first_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o nature_n and_o grace_n then_o a_o subordinate_n of_o nature_n to_o grace_n also_o it_o may_v be_v a_o correct_v of_o nature_n by_o grace_n not_o as_o if_o nature_n be_v evil_a simple_o but_o a_o less_o good_a for_o it_o be_v good_a tor_z the_o creature_n to_o preserve_v itself_o it_o be_v better_a to_o obey_v god_n will_v by_o suffer_v according_a to_o his_o will_n especial_o consider_v the_o coincidence_n of_o nature_n &_o grace_n in_o the_o same_o time_n &_o prayer_n for_o nature_n make_v the_o request_n grace_n add_v the_o condition_n nature_n say_v thus_o father_n let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o save_v i_o from_o this_o hour_n grace_n say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a &_o not_o my_o will_n be_v do_v but_o thou_o &_o therefore_o come_v i_o into_o this_o hour_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o three_o axiom_n aforesaid_a it_o be_v thus_o answer_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n so_o without_o error_n it_o may_v seem_v we_o may_v say_v he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o time_n how_o long_o or_o how_o oft_o he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n &_o not_o know_v what_o space_n of_o time_n god_n in_o his_o

from_o i_o i_o have_v now_o sustain_v it_o or_o let_v it_o not_o seize_v upon_o i_o again_o i_o have_v already_o suffer_v it_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n do_v undergo_v god_n wrath_n a_o competent_a time_n and_o diverse_a time_n as_o joh._n 12._o once_o god_n wrath_n like_o lightning_n do_v flash_n upon_o his_o face_n also_o math._n 26._o the_o second_o time_n god_n wrath_n most_o

i_o &_o this_o three_o assault_n be_v the_o compliment_n of_o all_o his_o woe_n for_o whereas_o before_o in_o the_o garden_n a_o angel_n comfort_v and_o so_o god_n have_v not_o clean_o forsake_v he_o now_o god_n utter_o withdraw_v from_o he_o all_o comfort_n and_o so_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wrath_n devour_v he_o &_o pray_v upon_o he_o without_o all_o mercy_n and_o comfort_n but_o exquesite_o to_o determine_v how_o oft_o or_o how_o long_o at_o any_o time_n god_n wrath_n be_v upon_o christ_n see_v the_o scripture_n have_v not_o express_v it_o be_v mere_a curiosity_n and_o if_o any_o man_n object_n that_o christ_n pray_v against_o god_n will_v nevertheless_o in_o pray_v thus_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o he_o pray_v against_o god_n secret_a will_v it_o may_v be_v and_o that_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o his_o prayer_n have_v condition_n &_o so_o it_o be_v not_o against_o god_n will_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o the_o son_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o life_n of_o his_o father_n which_o shall_v short_o die_v he_o pray_v conditional_o wherefore_o to_o end_v all_o this_o discourse_n of_o christ_n prayer_n it_o be_v justifiable_a as_o we_o see_v in_o diverse_a respect_n by_o say_v either_o he_o forgatt_v through_o the_o interrupt_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o that_o nature_n correct_v with_o grace_n make_v this_o request_n or_o that_o he_o pray_v through_o ignorance_n contrary_a to_o god_n secret_a will_n conditional_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o discourse_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o psalm_n be_v very_o easy_a as_o if_o the_o prophet_n shall_v
