be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v by_o their_o preacher_n because_o it_o be_v most_o conformable_a to_o their_o doctrine_n for_o first_o they_o say_v that_o prayer_n merit_v no_o reward_n at_o god_n hand_n

faith_n be_v a_o firm_a &_o full_a assurance_n that_o we_o be_v elect_v and_o just_a by_o christ_n justice_n &_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o necessary_a disposition_n to_o prayer_n for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v how_o shall_v they_o pray_v and_o call_v upon_o he_o 1â—_n râ—m_fw-la 1â—_n in_o who_o they_o believe_v not_o it_o follow_v that_o before_o we_o settle_v ourselves_o to_o prayer_n we_o must_v firm_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v just_a &_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v whence_o i_o gather_v these_o conclusion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o in_o vain_a the_o faithful_a man_n prayethe_v for_o justification_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n because_o before_o he_o pray_v his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o he_o be_v justify_v or_o else_o his_o full_a assure_a faith_n be_v a_o lie_v and_o deceitful_a faith_n the_o second_o be_v that_o no_o faithful_a man_n can_v pray_v for_o justification_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n unless_o he_o will_v be_v a_o infidel_n and_o forsake_v his_o faith_n by_o pray_v for_o he_o be_v bind_v by_o caluin_n to_o believe_v assure_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v because_o this_o be_v his_o justify_n faith_n and_o if_o he_o stagger_v or_o doubt_v he_o be_v a_o infidel_n because_o he_o have_v not_o the_o right_a faith_n whence_o it_o followethe_v that_o in_o pray_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o lose_v faith_n because_o in_o that_o he_o pray_v he_o shewethe_v that_o he_o have_v not_o that_o assurance_n for_o who_o will_v pray_v for_o that_o which_o he_o be_v assure_v of_o already_o or_o if_o he_o pray_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o either_o he_o think_v that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o prayethe_v or_o that_o he_o doubt_v thereof_o or_o that_o he_o fearethe_v of_o w_z ch_o every_o one_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o infidel_n in_o caluins_n opinion_n because_o they_o despoil_v he_o of_o that_o assure_a faith_n the_o three_o conclusion_n be_v that_o he_o can_v pray_v at_o all_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n will_v he_o never_o so_o fain_o even_o with_o loss_n of_o his_o faith_n for_o as_o if_o i_o be_v in_o good_a health_n &_o assure_v myself_o of_o the_o same_o i_o

that_o no_o faithful_a man_n can_v pray_v for_o eternal_a bliss_n in_o heaven_n for_o if_o before_o i_o pray_v i_o must_v have_v faith_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o i_o must_v and_o if_o faith_n be_v a_o full_a assurance_n that_o i_o be_o not_o only_o just_a 1â—_n rom._n 1â—_n but_o also_o elect_v and_o choose_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o citizen_n of_o heaven_n i_o can_v not_o with_o heart_n pray_v that_o i_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n well_o i_o may_v pray_v that_o speedy_o god_n will_v take_v i_o to_o he_o and_o his_o glory_n because_o i_o be_o not_o sure_a when_o shall_v be_v the_o time_n at_o which_o he_o will_v call_v i_o but_o to_o pray_v absolute_o to_o be_v admit_v unto_o god_n his_o glory_n and_o kingdom_n i_o can_v not_o possible_o because_o by_o caluins_n faith_n i_o be_o already_o assure_v of_o this_o kingdom_n &_o glory_n â—_o iâ—â—_n â—_o but_o caluin_n will_v object_n against_o we_o that_o saint_n james_n bid_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n and_o confidence_n nothing_o doubt_v or_o stagger_v i_o grant_v he_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o god_n can_v help_v &_o hope_v also_o that_o he_o will_v help_v and_o so_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v doubt_v but_o yet_o we_o may_v and_o must_v pray_v betwixt_v fear_n and_o hope_n for_o if_o i_o hope_v not_o but_o despair_n of_o obtain_v i_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o pray_v and_o if_o i_o doubt_n of_o god_n mercy_n i_o do_v he_o injury_n yet_o if_o i_o be_v cock_n sure_a i_o can_v not_o pray_v and_o therefore_o i_o must_v fear_v the_o worst_a and_o yer_z pray_v for_o the_o best_a book_n â—ee_z the_o soventh_fw-mi book_n moreover_o caluin_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o justify_n faith_n assurethe_v we_o not_o only_o of_o present_n but_o also_o of_o future_a justice_n that_o be_v

pray_v to_o god_n for_o perseveraunce_n in_o grace_n or_o that_o he_o will_v so_o assist_v we_o that_o no_o tentation_n of_o the_o devil_n insurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o allurement_n of_o the_o world_n give_v we_o the_o foil_n or_o fall_v book_n see_v the_o same_o book_n because_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v assure_v of_o our_o stand_n he_o avouch_v also_o that_o sin_n have_v so_o weaken_v
