and_o spring_v up_o both_o at_o one_o time_n in_o this_o treatise_n of_o prayer_n before_o i_o shall_v expound_v the_o petition_n that_o be_v what_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v ask_v it_o shall_v be_v very_o profitable_a to_o speak_v somewhat_o before_o necessary_a for_o the_o prepare_n of_o we_o thereunto_o herein_o the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o prayer_n which_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o such_o trial_n and_o experience_n of_o god_n goodness_n towards_o we_o as_o may_v force_v we_o in_o truth_n to_o honour_n and_o praise_v he_o for_o we_o can_v hearty_o honour_v &_o praise_v he_o of_o who_o goodness_n towards_o we_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a knowledge_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o have_v certain_a knowledge_n and_o true_a trial_n of_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o but_o by_o receive_v and_o taste_v thereof_o and_o how_o can_v we_o stand_v better_o assure_v what_o we_o have_v receive_v then_o by_o find_v that_o give_v we_o which_o we_o know_v and_o well_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v ask_v and_o beg_v before_o at_o his_o hand_n in_o prayer_n so_o that_o prayer_n lead_v we_o to_o this_o certain_a and_o assure_a knowledge_n of_o god_n his_o good_a meaning_n towards_o we_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o true_a service_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n while_o prayer_n go_v in_o every_o necessity_n to_o try_v for_o itself_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n promise_v in_o his_o word_n and_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o true_a certificate_n and_o good_a experience_n thereof_o in_o that_o his_o suit_n be_v grant_v and_o he_o in_o his_o prayer_n be_v comfort_v and_o this_o assurance_n of_o god_n his_o particular_a regard_n and_o favour_n towards_o we_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o serve_v and_o honour_v of_o god_n in_o truth_n and_o therefore_o solomon_n render_v this_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n to_o grant_v the_o petition_n that_o his_o servant_n shall_v pray_v for_o 8.40_o that_o say_v he_o they_o may_v fear_v thou_o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v it_o be_v his_o reason_n also_o why_o he_o will_v have_v the_o stranger_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n hear_v in_o all_o that_o he_o call_v for_o that_o all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v know_v his_o name_n &_o serve_v he_o as_o do_v his_o people_n israel_n for_o it_o be_v this_o assure_a knowledge_n of_o a_o special_a good_a will_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o that_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o true_a worship_v of_o he_o all_o man_n know_v that_o god_n be_v good_a but_o all_o man_n know_v not_o that_o he_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o all_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v good_a but_o all_o believe_v not_o that_o he_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o yet_o be_v that_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o therefore_o be_v prayer_n a_o true_a fruit_n of_o faith_n that_o confirm_v we_o therein_o according_a as_o the_o prophet_n david_n testify_v of_o himself_o 116.1_o that_o he_o love_v the_o lord_n because_o he_o have_v hear_v his_o prayer_n our_o faith_n have_v need_n of_o all_o the_o help_n that_o can_v be_v to_o strengthen_v it_o withal_o in_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o this_o trial_n of_o it_o when_o we_o receive_v comfort_n of_o our_o prayer_n have_v his_o good_a will_n bring_v home_o unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o by_o so_o good_a experience_n assure_v we_o that_o we_o can_v show_v good_a evidence_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v but_o high_o to_o be_v account_v of_o if_o god_n have_v make_v we_o many_o promise_n to_o help_v we_o in_o our_o necessity_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o once_o

distress_n he_o send_v his_o word_n and_o heal_v they_o &_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o grave_n it_o be_v a_o infinite_a work_n to_o recite_v those_o place_n in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n that_o prove_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o remove_v punishment_n from_o the_o offender_n when_o they_o shall_v in_o true_a repentance_n turn_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n in_o great_a affliction_n to_o persuade_v the_o man_n that_o be_v sore_o afflict_v for_o his_o sin_n that_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o the_o lord_n to_o remove_v his_o punishment_n if_o he_o shall_v true_o humble_v himself_o in_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n yet_o we_o see_v what_o plain_a proof_n there_o be_v of_o the_o same_o to_o increase_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o persuasion_n to_o have_v our_o sin_n forgive_v when_o we_o be_v true_o grieve_v and_o penitent_a for_o the_o same_o this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n most_o needful_a to_o be_v stand_v upon_o because_o the_o blessing_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o bestow_v upon_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o corruption_n be_v rather_o deliverance_n from_o evil_a than_o preservation_n in_o any_o continual_a course_n of_o prosperity_n i_o say_v they_o rather_o come_v in_o after_o our_o affliction_n then_o stand_v continual_o with_o we_o to_o keep_v affliction_n from_o we_o which_o many_o mistake_n have_v stumble_v at_o the_o afflict_a estate_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v guide_v those_o that_o be_v he_o to_o look_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o upright_o man_n mark_v the_o upright_a man_n and_o behold_v the_o just_a for_o the_o end_n of_o that_o man_n be_v peace_n say_v the_o prophet_n and_o almost_o all_o those_o request_n that_o solomon_n make_v for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n 37.37_o be_v to_o have_v blessing_n &_o benefit_n procure_v unto_o they_o after_o their_o trouble_n &_o afflict_a estate_n we_o see_v therefore_o how_o needful_a it_o be_v to_o hold_v this_o doctrine_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o stumble_v not_o at_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o do_v not_o murmur_v or_o despair_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o shake_v off_o hope_n notwithstanding_o our_o grief_n whatsoever_o have_v have_v long_a continuance_n and_o abode_n with_o we_o that_o we_o nourish_v no_o wrong_a judgement_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o church_n and_o child_n of_o god_n that_o we_o decide_v not_o with_o the_o ungodly_a against_o the_o servant_n &_o saint_n of_o god_n a_o tentation_n that_o have_v almost_o shake_v the_o faithful_a servant_n and_o prophet_n of_o god_n david_n until_o he_o go_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o inquire_v the_o end_n of_o those_o man_n this_o doctrine_n overthrow_v the_o heresy_n of_o the_o novatian_n who_o do_v deny_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n after_o baptism_n that_o which_o be_v join_v with_o this_o petition_n of_o our_o forgive_a they_o that_o trespass_n against_o we_o note_v not_o any_o deserve_a to_o have_v our_o sin_n forgive_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o forgive_n of_o they_o that_o offend_v against_o we_o for_o than_o we_o shall_v not_o pray_v to_o

require_v this_o at_o our_o hand_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v merciful_a because_o he_o be_v merciful_a for_o our_o comfort_n to_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o which_o be_v man_n can_v remit_v the_o
