before_o god_n we_o have_v many_o doubt_n viz._n will_v the_o lord_n hear_v such_o a_o sinner_n and_o such_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a and_o sinful_a prayer_n &_o therefore_o he_o also_o affirm_v that_o we_o have_v confidence_n and_o assurance_n of_o be_v hear_v but_o all_o this_o be_v by_o faith_n in_o he_o for_o look_v as_o christ_n have_v purchase_v all_o blessing_n for_o we_o by_o his_o death_n and_o hence_o make_v his_o intercession_n for_o those_o thing_n daily_o according_a to_o our_o need_n so_o we_o be_v much_o more_o to_o rest_v upon_o and_o make_v that_o satisfaction_n the_o ground_n of_o our_o intercession_n because_o christ_n blood_n purchase_v this_o therefore_o oh_o lord_n grant_v this_o 2._o to_o pray_v in_o his_o name_n be_v to_o pray_v from_o his_o command_n and_o according_a to_o his_o will_n as_o when_o we_o send_v another_o in_o our_o name_n we_o wish_v he_o to_o say_v thus_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o desire_v such_o a_o thing_n of_o he_o and_o that_o i_o
