hear_v they_o and_o one_o of_o they_o for_o another_o as_o the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o david_n their_o king_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n for_o hezekiah_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o captive_a jew_n for_o hester_n the_o queen_n and_o she_o for_o they_o so_o will_v he_o do_v one_o of_o we_o for_o another_o so_o that_o if_o we_o daily_o give_v ourselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o make_v conscience_n to_o use_v that_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n ourselves_o we_o may_v in_o great_a faith_n and_o hope_n desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o other_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o he_o that_o make_v the_o prayer_n who_o name_n be_v prefix_v in_o the_o title_n of_o it_o now_o for_o they_o that_o use_v it_o which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v to_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o discourse_n of_o the_o whole_a psalm_n but_o i_o can_v enter_v into_o it_o at_o this_o present_a i_o will_v reserve_v it_o until_o the_o next_o day_n the_o three_o sermon_n upon_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o lord_n hear_v thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o trouble_n the_o name_n of_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n defend_v thou_o desire_v the_o people_n pray_v for_o the_o king_n

namely_o pray_v for_o he_o if_o they_o do_v thus_o pray_v for_o he_o be_v desire_v thereunto_o and_o it_o be_v their_o bind_a duty_n so_o to_o do_v and_o they_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o do_v make_v conscience_n of_o it_o and_o it_o have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a fault_n for_o they_o to_o have_v fail_v in_o it_o then_o by_o consequence_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o whensoever_o any_o of_o our_o brethren_n or_o sister_n in_o christ_n shall_v desire_v this_o duty_n at_o our_o hand_n prayer_n so_o must_v we_o do_v for_o all_o those_o that_o desire_v our_o

not_o think_v that_o when_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n at_o their_o part_n or_o otherwise_o desire_v our_o prayer_n and_o say_v i_o pray_v you_o pray_v for_o i_o or_o remember_v i_o in_o your_o prayer_n that_o these_o be_v word_n of_o course_n though_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o many_o do_v so_o use_v they_o and_o so_o do_v they_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a but_o we_o shall_v be_v persuade_v that_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o their_o feel_n of_o their_o own_o want_n they_o speak_v unto_o we_o and_o so_o be_v willing_a by_o our_o prayer_n to_o help_v to_o

we_o as_o here_o david_n do_v to_o the_o people_n give_v they_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o shall_v or_o may_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o time_n of_o

that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o earnestness_n than_o most_o of_o all_o shall_v we_o think_v upon_o they_o and_o upon_o their_o estate_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n to_o forget_v they_o for_o as_o if_o any_o shall_v be_v in_o distress_n or_o want_v and_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o our_o help_n for_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o clothing_n or_o

shall_v not_o be_v move_v in_o compassion_n to_o help_v they_o according_a to_o our_o ability_n it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o great_a hardness_n of_o heart_n in_o we_o so_o much_o more_o when_o any_o shall_v make_v know_v their_o want_n unto_o we_o to_o that_o end_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o they_o if_o we_o shall_v forget_v it_o or_o neglect_v to_o do_v it_o it_o shall_v bewray_v too_o great_a want_n of_o fellow-feeling_n and_o brotherly_a compassion_n in_o us._n most_o of_o all_o this_o duty_n of_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v careful_o perform_v 15.4_o and_o most_o of_o all_o when_o thereupon_o we_o have_v promise_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o psal_n 15.4_o when_o we_o have_v promise_v it_o unto_o any_o upon_o such_o notice_n of_o their_o estate_n for_o as_o all_o promise_v

word_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deceit_n in_o we_o to_o fail_v they_o and_o so_o to_o frustrate_v their_o expectation_n keep_v for_o all_o lawful_a promise_n must_v be_v keep_v so_o when_o any_o have_v

great_a fault_n in_o we_o and_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v require_v at_o our_o hand_n though_o they_o shall_v never_o know_v of_o it_o therefore_o as_o we_o ought_v d●●y_v to_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o unasked_a as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o o_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n give_v we_o this_o day_n and_o forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n and_o lead_v

other_o who_o we_o have_v desire_v to_o pray_v for_o we_o shall_v perform_v that_o duty_n unto_o we_o nay_o may_v not_o we_o just_o fear_v that_o they_o will_v altogether_o neglect_v it_o see_v we_o do_v neglect_v they_o and_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v just_a with_o god_n so_o to_o punish_v we_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 7.2_o matth._n 7.2_o look_v with_o what_o measure_n you_o meat_n unto_o other_o it_o shall_v be_v meet_v unto_o you_o again_o and_o i_o remember_v that_o this_o be_v the_o say_n of_o a_o reverend_a father_n in_o the_o church_n who_o be_v now_o fall_v asleep_a in_o the_o lord_n when_o any_o desire_v he_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o as_o many_o do_v and_o more_o than_o any_o that_o i_o have_v know_v he_o will_v say_v unto_o they_o i_o pray_v you_o pray_v for_o i_o and_o pray_v that_o i_o may_v remember_v you_o and_o then_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o forget_v you_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v other_o pray_v for_o we_o let_v we_o pray_v for_o they_o for_o we_o can_v never_o have_v great_a assurance_n that_o they_o will_v do_v it_o for_o we_o than_o that_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o do_v it_o for_o they_o and_o the_o more_o that_o we_o do_v it_o for_o they_o the_o more_o may_v we_o hope_v that_o they_o will_v do_v it_o for_o us._n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o move_v we_o pray_v and_o know_v much_o more_o that_o we_o do_v so_o it_o be_v
the_o searcher_n and_o the_o mover_n of_o the_o heart_n shall_v also_o move_v they_o to_o do_v the_o like_a for_o we_o that_o this_o promise_n 〈◊〉_d be_v verify_v unto_o us._n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a very_o often_o of_o they_o that_o be_v not_o desire_v at_o all_o that_o by_o the_o secret_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o quicken_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o every_o part_n of_o it_o then_o much_o more_o of_o they_o that_o be_v desire_v and_o know_v the_o estate_n one_o of_o another_o therefore_o if_o the_o king_n will_v have_v his_o subject_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o he_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o they_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v other_o pray_v we_o let_v we_o pray_v for_o they_o if_o nobleman_n will_v have_v their_o chaplain_n pray_v for_o they_o of_o conscience_n they_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o also_o if_o the_o bishop_n will_v have_v the_o minister_n remember_v they_o in_o their_o prayer_n they_o must_v not_o forget_v they_o in_o they_o and_o so_o these_o great_a personage_n must_v not_o think_v that_o all_o shall_v remember_v they_o and_o yet_o forget_v all_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o their_o inferior_n if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o shall_v but_o once_o forget_v they_o in_o their_o public_a prayer_n and_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o fault_n in_o themselves_o though_o they_o do_v continual_o forget_v they_o so_o if_o the_o minister_n will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n often_o will_v the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o than_o he_o must_v remember_v public_o and_o private_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o so_o must_v child_n do_v for_o their_o parent_n if_o they_o will_v have_v their_o blessing_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o

we_o yea_o though_o they_o know_v not_o at_o all_o that_o we_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o if_o they_o shall_v neglect_v it_o yet_o no_o doubt_n some_o or_o other_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o this_o say_n of_o he_o that_o be_v truth_n itself_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a look_v with_o what_o measure_n you_o mete_v unto_o other_o 6.36_o luk._n 6.36_o with_o the_o same_o it_o shall_v be_v meet_a unto_o
