the_o lord_n and_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o pardon_n and_o help_v when_o the_o lord_n shall_v avenge_v himself_o upon_o we_o to_o the_o full_a oh_o then_o let_v we_o take_v that_o way_n god_n have_v

that_o be_v doct._n that_o god_n will_v be_v entreat_v only_o by_o his_o servant_n say_v he_o that_o they_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n they_o that_o be_v the_o servants_z of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o child_n of_o god_n they_o be_v most_o like_a to_o do_v good_a at_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o i_o for_o god_n be_v entreat_v only_o of_o his_o servant_n but_o who_o be_v those_o servant_n of_o who_o only_o god_n will_v be_v entreat_v 1._o they_o be_v oppose_v to_o atheist_n who_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n the_o scripture_n say_v he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n

to_o prevail_v with_o this_o god_n the_o priest_n of_o baal_n they_o cry_v to_o baal_n and_o the_o heathen_n in_o the_o ship_n with_o jonah_n cry_v to_o their_o god_n but_o elijah_n or_o jonah_n can_v only_o prevail_v with_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o who_o be_v most_o like_a to_o prevail_v with_o that_o god_n but_o they_o that_o true_o worship_v he_o otherwise_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o heathen_a that_o worship_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n may_v prevail_v as_o much_o as_o we_o 3._o three_o they_o be_v oppose_v to_o impious_a and_o profane_a one_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o such_o in_o the_o world_n who_o by_o their_o wicked_a life_n confute_v their_o religion_n and_o their_o christian_a name_n and_o prayer_n if_o a_o heathen_a shall_v hear_v their_o word_n and_o see_v their_o action_n and_o manner_n of_o live_v it_o will_v make_v they_o think_v either_o there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o that_o the_o god_n of_o the_o christian_n be_v a_o false_a god_n of_o such_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n 4._o last_o they_o be_v oppose_v to_o unbeliever_n christ_n be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n who_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n through_o who_o name_n alone_o we_o be_v welcome_a to_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v whatever_o you_o ask_v in_o my_o name_n believe_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v to_o you_o and_o again_o there_o be_v no_o name_n under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v but_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n only_o so_o that_o without_o faith_n in_o his_o name_n whereby_o any_o one_o accept_v and_o depend_v upon_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n and_o deliverer_n he_o can_v expect_v to_o prevail_v with_o god_n in_o prayer_n god_n will_v be_v entreat_v only_o of_o those_o who_o have_v by_o faith_n embrace_v the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n hold_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n to_o lose_v sinner_n otherwise_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o turk_n will_v be_v as_o acceptabie_n to_o god_n as_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o christian_a nay_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o jew_n who_o scornful_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n may_v do_v as_o much_o in_o heaven_n as_o the_o prayer_n of_o one_o who_o saving_o believe_v in_o christ_n no_o such_o shall_v one_o day_n know_v that_o there_o be_v one_o and_o but_o one_o true_a god_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n be_v the_o appoint_a way_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o they_o only_a who_o true_o believe_v on_o he_o to_o a_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o grace_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o regeneration_n and_o holiness_n be_v those_o servant_n of_o who_o god_n will_v be_v entreat_v in_o mercy_n either_o for_o public_a or_o private_a blessing_n to_o clear_v this_o i_o can_v give_v you_o many_o instance_n take_v only_o two_o or_o three_o when_o god_n lay_v a_o judgement_n upon_o the_o family_n of_o ahimelech_n say_v god_n to_o he_o go_v to_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n he_o shall_v pray_v for_o you_o he_o i_o will_v hear_v and_o in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o job_n ver_fw-la 38_o therefore_o take_v unto_o you_o now_o seven_o bullock_n and_o seven_o ram_n and_o go_v to_o my_o servant_n job_n and_o offer_v up_o for_o yourselves_o a_o burnt-offering_a and_o my_o servant_n job_n shall_v pray_v for_o you_o for_o he_o will_v i_o accept_v lest_o i_o deal_v with_o you_o after_o your_o folly_n in_o that_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v of_o i_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a like_o my_o servant_n job_n how_o unexpected_a be_v this_o to_o these_o man_n that_o this_o despise_a job_n who_o they_o endeavour_v so_o much_o to_o convict_v of_o hypocrisy_n be_v only_o accept_v of_o god_n and_o to_o he_o they_o must_v go_v to_o pray_v and_o entreat_v god_n for_o they_o so_o though_o jeremiah_n be_v a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n and_o much_o despise_v of_o all_o sort_n in_o his_o time_n yet_o the_o time_n come_v when_o zedekiah_n the_o king_n send_v his_o honourable_a messenger_n to_o jeremy_n say_v pray_v now_o unto_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n for_o we_o as_o in_o jer._n 37._o verse_n 3._o so_o we_o read_v in_o the_o act_n concern_v the_o jew_n however_o they_o have_v despise_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n as_o also_o his_o apostle_n yet_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o lose_v condition_n by_o their_o ministry_n and_o preach_v they_o come_v to_o those_o despise_a apostle_n cry_v out_o in_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v so_o the_o gaoler_n you_o read_v of_o in_o the_o act_n who_o no_o doubt_n help_v on_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o apostle_n by_o his_o rude_a and_o coarse_a usage_n yet_o when_o god_n break_v in_o upon_o his_o soul_n with_o a_o mighty_a convince_a and_o astonish_a power_n he_o come_v tremble_v to_o those_o very_a man_n who_o he_o have_v not_o long_o before_o put_v in_o the_o stock_n cry_v out_o sir_n what_o must_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v these_o instance_n shall_v suffice_v to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n be_v only_o entreat_v by_o his_o servant_n and_o that_o who_o person_n be_v accept_v in_o christ_n their_o prayer_n only_o be_v powerful_a with_o god_n i_o may_v give_v several_a reason_n for_o this_o but_o i_o hasten_v to_o the_o use_n use_v first_o if_o so_o than_o i_o beseech_v you_o learn_v to_o prize_v holiness_n and_o godliness_n for_o though_o no_o man_n be_v accept_v for_o his_o holiness_n yet_o no_o man_n without_o holiness_n shall_v ever_o see_v god_n or_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n let_v not_o your_o eye_n be_v upon_o what_o the_o world_n magnify_v but_o upon_o what_o god_n delight_v in_o for_o that_o which_o be_v in_o high_a esteem_n with_o man_n may_v be_v a_o abomination_n with_o god_n all_o the_o dignity_n of_o this_o world_n can_v give_v you_o the_o worth_a that_o godliness_n will_v put_v upon_o you_o this_o make_v a_o man_n weigh_v down_o a_o thousand_o of_o the_o son_n of_o belial_n wicked_a and_o profane_a wretch_n be_v as_o the_o dross_n of_o the_o earth_n while_o the_o godly_a christian_a be_v as_o gold_n in_o god_n sight_n god_n will_v only_o be_v entreat_v of_o such_o oh_o then_o give_v godliness_n its_o due_a honour_n and_o regard_n let_v all_o scoff_a ishmaels_n take_v heed_n they_o be_v not_o find_v guilty_a and_o answerable_a at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n for_o abase_v and_o abuse_v that_o which_o god_n will_v honour_v and_o take_v more_o pleasure_n in_o than_o in_o any_o thing_n beside_o here_o below_o there_o be_v many_o too_o many_o for_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o nation_n who_o do_v not_o only_o take_v pleasure_n in_o a_o impious_a looseness_n of_o conversation_n but_o in_o rail_v and_o scoff_v vent_v their_o foolish_a malice_n against_o religiousness_n purity_n and_o strictness_n of_o life_n let_v such_o take_v heed_n for_o in_o so_o do_v they_o fight_v against_o god_n who_o set_v a_o value_n upon_o his_o holy_a one_o that_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n and_o will_v hear_v they_o when_o all_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v silent_a before_o
