&_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n excuse_v his_o disciple_n for_o not_o fast_v by_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o time_n can_v the_o child_n of_o the_o bride-chamber_n fast_o while_o the_o bridegroom_n be_v with_o they_o 9.15_o mat._n 9.15_o as_o long_o as_o they_o have_v the_o bridegroom_n with_o they_o they_o can_v fast_v give_v of_o alm_n be_v another_o duty_n which_o be_v much_o commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n unto_o we_o yet_o give_v of_o alm_n have_v a_o limitation_n of_o person_n for_o all_o be_v not_o enjoin_v to_o give_v alm_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v of_o ability_n and_o they_o that_o be_v of_o ability_n be_v not_o enjoin_v to_o give_v alm_n unto_o all_o but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o want_n and_o necessity_n but_o as_o every_o one_o be_v enjoin_v to_o pray_v so_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n i_o exhort_v say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 2.1_o that_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n so_o that_o if_o we_o put_v all_o these_o together_o that_o every_o one_o be_v enjoin_v to_o pray_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o person_n to_o pray_v at_o all_o time_n to_o pray_v in_o all_o place_n and_o to_o pray_v with_o all_o manner_n of_o supplication_n and_o prayer_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a duty_n because_o it_o be_v so_o general_o and_o absolute_o enjoin_v we_o and_o indeed_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o prayer_n shall_v have_v no_o limitation_n because_o every_o man_n may_v easy_o perform_v the_o same_o if_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o offer_v goat_n and_o bullock_n unto_o he_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o needy_a may_v have_v excuse_v themselves_o for_o want_n of_o ubility_n if_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o go_v a_o pilgrimage_n into_o fa●re_v country_n and_o there_o do_v he_o service_n the_o blind_a and_o the_o lame_a may_v have_v excuse_v themselves_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o impotency_n but_o no_o man_n can_v pretend_v any_o just_a excuse_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o pray_v because_o every_o man_n may_v easy_o perform_v this_o duty_n and_o thus_o much_o brief_o for_o the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n the_o object_n of_o prayer_n prayer_n object_n of_o prayer_n you_o see_v be_v god_n every_o one_o that_o be_v godly_a shall_v pray_v unto_o thou_o he_o do_v not_o say_v shall_v pray_v to_o saint_n or_o angel_n or_o the_o virgin_n but_o unto_o thou_o for_o this_o be_v the_o title_n which_o david_n give_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v the_o hearer_n of_o prayer_n psal_n 65.25_o o_o thou_o that_o hear_v prayer_n unto_o thou_o shall_v all_o flesh_n come_v for_o prayer_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n service_n and_o worship_n and_o so_o to_o be_v give_v to_o no_o other_o but_o god_n therefore_o god_n command_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o call_v upon_o i_o faith_n god_n in_o the_o fifty_o psalm_n christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n the_o spirit_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n gal._n 4.6_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o our_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v instruct_v to_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v can_v we_o have_v better_a instructer_n than_o these_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a guest_n who_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n only_o therefore_o if_o we_o search_v all_o over_o the_o scripture_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o genesis_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o revelation_n among_o all_o the_o prayer_n which_o be_v register_v therein_o among_o all_o the_o psalm_n one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o whereof_o two_o part_n at_o the_o least_o be_v prayer_n yet_o we_o find_v not_o one_o prayer_n among_o they_o all_o which_o be_v ever_o make_v to_o cherubin_n or_o seraphim_n to_o raphael_n gabriel_n or_o any_o of_o the_o angeb_n to_o abraham_n or_o isaac_n or_o any_o of_o the_o patriarch_n to_o moses_n or_o samuel_n or_o any_o of_o the_o prophet_n to_o peter_n or_o paul_n or_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n or_o any_o of_o the_o saint_n but_o only_o to_o god_n thus_o if_o we_o will_v have_v precedent_n of_o prayer_n can_v we_o have_v better_a precedent_n than_o these_o which_o the_o scripture_n record_v and_o which_o have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o faithful_a in_o all_o age_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o they_o have_v no_o warrant_n out_o of_o god_n word_n to_o pray_v to_o any_o other_o but_o god_n and_o they_o know_v beside_o that_o god_n and_o no_o other_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o see_v our_o want_n indeed_o the_o papist_n who_o prey_n to_o saint_n and_o angel_n hold_v that_o they_o can_v but_o see_v our_o want_n and_o hear_v our_o prayer_n for_o how_o say_v they_o shall_v not_o they_o see_v all_o thing_n who_o sea_n the_o face_n of_o he_o that_o see_v all_o thing_n as_o if_o by_o see_v god_n they_o must_v see_v all_o thing_n that_o god_n see_v which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a their_o knowledge_n you_o know_v must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a as_o god_n be_v and_o beside_o this_o be_v plain_o confute_v by_o christ_n for_o christ_n who_o tell_v we_o math._n 18._o 13.32_o mat._n 18.10_o mar._n 13.32_o that_o the_o angel_n do_v always_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n he_o likewise_o tell_v we_o mark_v 13._o that_o the_o angel_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o for_o the_o saint_n depart_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o know_v no_o more_o what_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o have_v no_o understanding_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o live_n so_o solomon_n tell_v we_o eccles_n 9_o that_o the_o dead_a know_v not_o any_o thing_n neither_o have_v they_o any_o more_o a_o portion_n for_o ever_o 9.6_o eceles_n 9.6_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v under_o the_o sun_n if_o any_o of_o the_o dead_a shall_v have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o live_n then_o questionless_a prince_n of_o the_o state_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o father_n of_o their_o child_n but_o that_o prince_n after_o they_o be_v depart_v have_v not_o any_o knowledge_n of_o their_o subject_n we_o see_v by_o josias_n where_o god_n gracious_o promise_v to_o take_v he_o away_o 22.20_o 2_o king_n 22.20_o that_o he_o may_v not_o see_v the_o evil_n which_o he_o will_v bring_v upon_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o father_n have_v no_o knowledge_n after_o their_o departure_n of_o the_o state_n of_o their_o child_n job_n plain_o tell_v we_o in_o his_o 14._o chapter_n the_o 20._o verse_n speak_v of_o a_o father_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o leave_v child_n behind_o he_o his_o son_n say_v he_o come_v to_o honour_n and_o he_o know_v it_o not_o and_o they_o be_v bring_v low_a and_o he_o perceive_v it_o not_o nay_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o who_o god_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v multiply_v his_o seed_n as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n yet_o he_o have_v no_o knowledge_n after_o his_o departure_n what_o become_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o israelite_n esay_n 63.16_o ver_fw-la acknowledge_v that_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n that_o be_v dead_a have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o their_o misery_n doubtless_o say_v they_o thou_o be_v our_o father_n though_o abraham_n be_v ignorant_a of_o we_o and_o jacob_n know_v we_o not_o yet_o thou_o o_o lord_n be_v our_o father_n and_o redeemer_n thy_o name_n be_v for_o ever_o si_fw-mi tanti_fw-la patriarche_n etc._n etc._n if_o say_v st._n augustine_n so_o great_a patriarch_n be_v ignorant_a what_o become_v of_o the_o people_n that_o come_v from_o their_o loin_n how_o shall_v the_o dead_a have_v aught_o to_o do_v in_o the_o knowledge_n or_o aid_n of_o the_o affair_n and_o action_n of_o their_o dear_a surviver_n but_o suppose_v they_o do_v know_v our_o affair_n and_o action_n yet_o our_o heart_n they_o can_v know_v for_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o who_o be_v

in_o the_o 1_o of_o the_o king_n the_o 8._o chapter_n use_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n why_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o no_o other_o but_o god_n because_o god_n and_o no_o other_o can_v hear_v our_o

we_o must_v be_v content_a to_o yield_v he_o obedience_n and_o to_o live_v as_o become_v his_o servant_n or_o he_o will_v not_o save_v we_o and_o therefore_o only_a the_o godly_a that_o serve_v he_o

to_o suffer_v when_o death_n seize_v upon_o they_o and_o take_v care_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o overcome_v the_o same_o this_o care_n trouble_v many_o that_o be_v good_a christian_n who_o

be_v no_o more_o painful_a to_o we_o than_o it_o have_v be_v to_o the_o godly_a in_o all_o age_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o undergo_v that_o which_o all_o the_o godly_a
