friend_n to_o the_o present_a state_n on_o the_o contrary_a that_o man_n that_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o royallist_n a_o friend_n of_o the_o king_n and_o a_o faithful_a subject_n and_o only_o

in_o general_a that_o our_o prayer_n for_o other_o be_v always_o profitable_a to_o ourselves_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o pray_n be_v the_o performance_n of_o a_o duty_n please_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v please_v unto_o god_n because_o it_o be_v command_v by_o he_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o say_v saint_n james_n and_o omission_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v a_o sin_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o

be_v to_o perform_v a_o duty_n please_v to_o god_n and_o command_v by_o he_o hence_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o it_o will_v be_v profitable_a and_o advantageous_a to_o we_o for_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a truth_n no_o man_n ever_o obey_v god_n in_o vain_a another_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o our_o pray_n for_o other_o we_o exercise_v and_o increase_v our_o brotherly_a kindness_n and_o charity_n and_o you_o know_v brotherly_a kindness_n and_o charity_n be_v the_o great_a grace_n the_o prince_n of_o grace_n commend_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n who_o have_v teach_v it_o by_o his_o example_n and_o precept_n and_o have_v set_v it_o down_o as_o the_o proper_a mark_n and_o character_n of_o his_o disciple_n this_o love_n and_o charity_n as_o it_o make_v we_o prone_a to_o do_v other_o good_a office_n for_o our_o neighbour_n so_o especial_o do_v it_o incline_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o this_o be_v a_o charitable_a office_n which_o the_o poor_a may_v perform_v for_o the_o rich_a a_o office_n which_o we_o can_v perfome_v for_o our_o worst_a enemy_n when_o they_o stand_v at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o we_o that_o we_o can_v do_v they_o no_o other_o good_a we_o can_v and_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o charity_n we_o increase_v it_o and_o procure_v no_o small_a benefit_n to_o ourselves_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o for_o who_o we_o pray_v thus_o in_o general_n now_o let_v we_o in_o particular_a speak_v of_o our_o love_n to_o jerusalem_n and_o our_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v for_o our_o church_n and_o state_n and_o first_o for_o the_o state_n or_o civil_a government_n what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o our_o prayer_n for_o the_o state_n for_o the_o king_n who_o god_n preserve_v and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n under_o he_o no_o man_n can_v better_o tell_v we_o than_o saint_n paul_n that_o we_o may_v lead_v
