1_o joh._n 5.15_o therefore_o god_n people_n may_v know_v that_o god_n hear_v they_o and_o accept_v their_o service_n david_n psal_n 6._o begin_v it_o with_o a_o sad_a complaint_n but_o yet_o see_v

that_o god_n accept_v their_o prayer_n now_o how_o come_v man_n to_o know_v it_o answ_n i_o find_v that_o god_n have_v assure_v his_o servant_n of_o the_o hear_n of_o their_o prayer_n these_o several_a way_n 1._o first_o sometime_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o angel_n send_v from_o heaven_n luc._n 1._o zachary_n thy_o prayer_n be_v hear_v act_v 10._o cornelius_n thy_o prayer_n be_v

three_o sometime_o by_o a_o visible_a sign_n as_o act._n 4.31_o and_o when_o they_o have_v pray_v the_o place_n be_v shake_v that_o be_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n assure_v acceptance_n of_o prayer_n and_o so_o god_n do_v assure_v by_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n so_o god_n give_v evidence_n of_o acceptance_n when_o the_o first_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v on_o the_o altar_n in_o the_o

allude_v that_o prayer_n for_o the_o king_n ps_n 20.4_o the_o lord_n turn_v thy_o burn_a offering_n into_o ash_n which_o be_v translate_v the_o lord_n accept_v etc._n etc._n because_o god_n have_v sometime_o witness_v his_o acceptance_n by_o send_v down_o fire_n to_o burn_v the_o sacrifice_n now_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n deal_v not_o as_o well_o with_o his_o people_n now_o as_o he_o be_v wont_a he_o be_v still_o as_o gracious_a as_o ever_o in_o assure_v his_o people_n of_o his_o acceptance_n now_o look_v what_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v by_o angel_n prophet_n or_o visible_a fire_n he_o now_o do_v the_o same_o by_o his_o spirit_n his_o spirit_n say_v as_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o prophet_n thy_o prayer_n be_v hear_v god_n say_v to_o his_o spirit_n go_v to_o such_o a_o man_n and_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v thy_o prayer_n god_n assure_v man_n of_o his_o acceptance_n of_o their_o prayer_n by_o fire_n send_v down_o from_o heaven_n when_o a_o man_n in_o prayer_n feel_v his_o heart_n mighty_o enlarge_v when_o he_o feel_v his_o heart_n set_v on_o fire_n with_o fervency_n of_o holy_a affection_n this_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o fire_n this_o fervency_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o spirit_n with_o which_o the_o heart_n burn_v in_o prayer_n be_v fire_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n a_o sensible_a testimony_n of_o god_n acceptance_n thus_o god_n turn_v our_o sacrifice_n into_o ash_n and_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o a_o man_n how_o comfortable_a a_o condition_n it_o be_v thus_o david_n know_v that_o god_n hear_v he_o psal_n 6.8_o 9_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o burn_v his_o sacrifice_n and_o by_o that_o inward_a fire_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o as_o well_o know_v that_o god_n accept_v his_o prayer_n as_o abel_n by_o that_o visible_a fire_n know_v that_o god_n accept_v his_o sacrifice_n sure_o when_o a_o man_n feel_v this_o fire_n burn_v in_o his_o heart_n in_o prayer_n well_o may_v it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o as_o eccles_n 9.7_o but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v pray_v and_o shall_v have_v

no_o assurance_n that_o god_n accept_v his_o prayer_n alas_o what_o a_o comfortless_a service_n be_v that_o from_o such_o prayer_n may_v a_o man_n rise_v with_o a_o sad_a spirit_n go_v and_o eat_v thy_o bread_n with_o sorrow_n and_o drink_v thy_o wine_n with_o a_o sad_a heart_n for_o god_n accept_v not_o thy_o prayer_n god_n answer_v not_o with_o fire_n now_o what_o be_v it_o that_o bring_v a_o man_n into_o this_o condition_n this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sad_a fruit_n of_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n because_o man_n quench_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n burn_v not_o in_o prayer_n and_o so_o give_v no_o assurance_n of_o god_n acceptance_n what_o wonder_v that_o fire_n burn_v not_o when_o it_o be_v quench_v thou_o have_v quench_v it_o in_o the_o grace_n and_o

that_o the_o ●●ine_a strength_n of_o satan_n accusation_n lie_v in_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n sin_n unpardoned_a be_v that_o which_o put_v validity_n into_o his_o resistance_n three_o that_o

prayer_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n with_o their_o accusation_n so_o that_o all_o this_o consider_v what_o a_o motive_n shall_v it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o get_v our_o
