some_o unwholesome_a thing_n as_o tar_v etc._n etc._n desire_v it_o eager_o for_o a_o fit_a and_o afterward_o abhor_v it_o but_o the_o godly_a man_n he_o pray_v and_o prize_v grace_n invaluable_a for_o obtain_v whereof_o he_o will_v sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o separate_v himself_o to_o seek_v it_o 18.1_o matth._n 14.44_o pro._n 18.1_o and_o occupy_v himself_o in_o all_o wisdom_n a_o wicked_a man_n wish_v but_o have_v no_o assurance_n to_o obtain_v for_o his_o wish_n be_v drive_v away_o with_o de●ire_n as_o the_o dust_n by_o the_o wind_n but_o the_o godly_a man_n pray_v and_o say_v in_o some_o measure_n with_o the_o man_n in_o the_o gospel_n i_o believe_v lord_n help_v my_o unbelief_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o a_o wish_n differ_v from_o a_o prayer_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n between_o wish_v a_o prayer_n and_o pray_v a_o prayer_n and_o that_o they_o only_o can_v pray_v that_o be_v qualify_v as_o be_v aforesaid_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v who_o be_v to_o pray_v pray_v for_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v the_o second_o sort_n of_o person_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o our_o prayer_n be_v for_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o concern_v this_o second_o sort_n of_o person_n shall_v be_v comprehend_v in_o certain_a proposition_n follow_v whereof_o some_o be_v affirmative_a some_o negative_a the_o proposition_n affirmative_a be_v these_o six_o ensue_a first_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n for_o all_o they_o that_o in_o present_a believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n second_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o the_o elect_a that_o as_o yet_o do_v not_o actual_o believe_v nor_o repent_v and_o these_o two_o proposition_n be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 17._o joh._n 17._o who_o have_v go_v before_o we_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o both_o though_o he_o pray_v in_o another_o kind_n namely_o as_o the_o only_a mediator_n of_o redemption_n and_o intercession_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o his_o prayer_n be_v satisfactory_a and_o meritorius_fw-la we_o only_o dutiful_a and_o charitable_a three_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n who_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n we_o be_v to_o account_v saint_n by_o call_v 1.7_o rom._n 1.7_o so_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o roman_n in_o his_o salutation_n pray_v for_o they_o four_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n that_o be_v for_o all_o sort_n or_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n 2.1_o 1._o jam._n 2.1_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n counsel_n jew_n and_o gentile_n bond_n and_o free_a rich_a &_o poor_a magistrate_n and_o subject_n man_n and_o woman_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o distinction_n of_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o life_n five_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o any_o one_o particular_a person_n that_o shall_v be_v note_v out_o unto_o we_o as_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o our_o prayer_n as_o a_o excommunicate_a person_n the_o turk_n the_o pope_n heretic_n and_o schismatics_n and_o vicious_a per_n n_n of_o all_o sort_n so_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n so_o do_v steven_n the_o first_o martyr_n for_o although_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v with_o they_o as_o be_v person_n out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n yet_o nature_n bind_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o they_o be_v of_o our_o own_o flesh_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o god_n have_v dispose_v of_o they_o for_o their_o final_a and_o futu_a estate_n and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v mean_n of_o obtain_v at_o god_n hand_n remission_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o their_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n as_o it_o be_v probable_a steven_n prayer_n do_v further_o paul_n conversion_n six_o and_o last_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o our_o very_a enemy_n that_o wish_v evil_a unto_o we_o and_o devise_v mischief_n against_o we_o 12.20.21_o matth._n 5.44_o rom._n 12.20.21_o according_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n that_o so_o we_o may_v do_v good_a for_o evil_n and_o heap_v coal_n of_o fire_n upon_o their_o head_n thus_o we_o see_v affirmative_o for_o who_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v now_o negative_o we_o must_v also_o consider_v who_o they_o be_v for_o who_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v pray_v for_o who_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v and_o they_o be_v comprise_v in_o five_o proposition_n follow_v first_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o mankind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o all_o the_o man_n that_o have_v live_v do_v live_v and_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o world_n for_o all_o hough_o we_o may_v pray_v for_o any_o particular_a person_n that_o be_v nominate_v and_o point_v out_o unto_o we_o yet_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o that_o proceed_v of_o the_o root_n of_o adam_n be_v against_o god_n will_n f●●_v christ_n do_v not_o pr_v you_o for_o the_o world_n 17._o joh._n 17._o nei●her_o be_v it_o go●s_v will_n that_o all_o that_o issue_n from_o adam_n shall_v be_v conve●ted_v and_o save_v yet_o because_o we_o know_v not_o which_o man_n be_v reprobate_a therefore_o by_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o charity_n we_o may_v pray_v for_o any_o particular_a man_n except_v some_o which_o afterward_o shall_v be_v except_v second_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v fo●_n the_o dead_a for_o we_o will_v take_v it_o grant_v for_o this_o present_a that_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n there_o be_v here_o no_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o dispute_v the_o question_n for_o all_o the_o dead_a be_v either_o in_o heaven_n and_o so_o thy_o prayer_n can_v mend_v they_o or_o in_o hell_n and_o thence_o thy_o prayer_n can_v fetch_v they_o wherefore_o see_v prayer_n avail_v not_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n it_o shall_v be_v use_v for_o the_o dead_a i_o will_v not_o discuss_v the_o quiddity_n that_o some_o of_o late_o have_v devise_v that_o we_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o dead_a thus_o far_o forth_o that_o their_o body_n at_o the_o last_o may_v be_v join_v to_o their_o soul_n to_o their_o full_a and_o perfect_a bliss_n three_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o devil_n four_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o sin_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n five_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o be_v reprobate_n if_o we_o can_v know_v they_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v most_o apparent_a for_o that_o therein_o we_o resist_v god_n reveal_v will_n hence_o we_o read_v that_o god_n rebuke_v samuel_n for_o pray_v for_o saul_n 16.1_o 1._o sam._n 16.1_o howsoever_o some_o may_v think_v that_o samuel_n prayer_n be_v only_o for_o enjoy_v the_o kingdom_n and_o not_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o saul_n sin_n which_o have_v little_a probability_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v against_o the_o devil_n by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n 16.20_o rom._n 16.20_o that_o god_n will_v tread_v satan_n down_o under_o our_o foot_n hence_o it_o be_v also_o that_o david_n in_o the_o psalm_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n oft_o time_n pray_v against_o his_o enemy_n who_o he_o know_v be_v reprobate_n or_o irrecoverable_a from_o their_o sin_n and_o if_o the_o church_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o discern_v one_o that_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o have_v adjudge_v that_o person_n so_o to_o have_v sin_v we_o be_v not_o only_o not_o to_o pray_v for_o he_o but_o to_o pray_v against_o he_o for_o his_o utter_a overthrow_n and_o present_a damnation_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v julian_n himself_o the_o emperor_n thus_o negative_o also_o we_o understand_v for_o who_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v pray_v against_o who_o we_o may_v pray_v only_o there_o remain_v this_o point_n near_o unto_o the_o former_a against_o who_o we_o may_v pray_v which_o be_v short_o handle_v this_o second_o sort_n of_o person_n also_o be_v limit_v general_o therefore_o we_o may_v pray_v against_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o salvation_n absolute_o against_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o all_o reprobate_n whether_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o otherwise_o if_o they_o may_v be_v know_v also_o we_o may_v pray_v against_o wicked_a man_n these_o caution_n observe_v first_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v in_o concreto_fw-la non_fw-la in_o abstracto_fw-la as_o the_o logician_n speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v direct_v our_o prayer_n not_o against_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n but_o against_o the_o creature_n corrupt_v with_o sin_n and_o rebel_n against_o god_n second_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o be_v not_o to_o intend_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o creature_n which_o god_n have_v make_v but_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n in_o
