be_v lift_v up_o and_o elevate_v unto_o god_n with_o intentivenesse_n and_o devotion_n according_a to_o that_o which_o david_n say_v psal._n 5._o 3._o in_o the_o morning_n will_v i_o direct_v i_o

earnest_n lift_v up_o of_o the_o heart_n unto_o god_n that_o whereas_o our_o affection_n ordinary_o dwell_v here_o below_o by_o prayer_n they_o must_v be_v carry_v above_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n to_o the_o very_a throne_n of_o grace_n to_o seek_v thing_n needful_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n a_o learned_a father_n define_v prayer_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mount_a chariot_n up_o of_o the_o heart_n unto_o god_n so_o that_o prayer_n be_v like_o the_o fiery_a chariot_n in_o which_o elias_n be_v transport_v from_o earth_n into_o heaven_n even_o so_o by_o prayer_n we_o be_v carry_v out_o of_o ourselves_o out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o all_o worldly_a thing_n to_o be_v present_a with_o god_n in_o the_o high_a heaven_n so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v special_a excitation_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o prayer_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v come_v near_o unto_o the_o lord_n himself_o which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o prayer_n the_o three_o thing_n in_o prayer_n be_v that_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o desire_v 7._o thing_n that_o be_v needful_a as_o psal._n 10._o 7._o lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a

desire_n before_o thou_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o in_o every_o prayer_n there_o must_v be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n whence_o we_o may_v consider_v two_o thing_n in_o prayer_n 1_o a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o misery_n and_o want_n 2_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o have_v they_o supply_v concern_v the_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o feeling_n and_o former_a apprehension_n of_o our_o want_n by_o which_o mean_n a_o man_n shall_v the_o willingly_a prey_n for_o a_o supply_n of_o the_o same_o if_o we_o do_v not_o find_v the_o fever_n feel_v the_o fit_n be_v not_o press_v with_o it_o as_o with_o a_o heavy_a burden_n no_o man_n will_v seek_v to_o the_o physician_n that_o be_v not_o sick_a care_v for_o a_o fire_n that_o be_v not_o a_o cold_a creep_v to_o a_o fountain_n that_o be_v not_o a_o dry_a so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o sense_n of_o want_n and_o misery_n before_o man_n be_v induce_v to_o pray_v the_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n cry_v after_o christ_n matth._n 20._o 10_o and_o why_o because_o they_o have_v a_o sense_n of_o their_o own_o misery_n that_o make_v they_o cry_v other_o 10._o shall_v have_v see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n bless_v the_o mean_n of_o their_o redemption_n that_o god_n have_v send_v into_o the_o world_n but_o oh_o as_o man_n bury_v in_o darkness_n they_o can_v see_v nothing_o only_o the_o sense_n of_o misery_n make_v man_n cry_v unto_o god_n so_o exod._n 17._o 4._o moses_n cry_v unto_o 4._o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n the_o sense_n of_o danger_n thus_o set_v he_o on_o o_o lord_n say_v he_o these_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o stone_n i_o etc._n etc._n thus_o we_o see_v it_o must_v be_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o want_n which_o must_v drive_v we_o to_o prayer_n there_o must_v be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o have_v they_o supply_v for_o though_o a_o man_n see_v his_o want_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o regard_v they_o nor_o wish_v or_o endeavour_n to_o have_v they_o relieve_v this_o man_n will_v never_o pray_v to_o god_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o want_n and_o to_o bustle_v under_o they_o and_o hang_v down_o the_o head_n as_o a_o bulrush_n but_o he_o must_v earnest_o desire_v and_o seek_v supply_n for_o they_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o jehoshaphat_n say_v 2_o chron._n 20._o 12._o o_o lord_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v 12._o but_o our_o eye_n be_v towards_o thou_o etc._n etc._n so_o jam._n 1._o 5._o if_o any_o 5._o man_n lack_v wisdom_n let_v he_o ask_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o in_o prayer_n there_o must_v be_v a_o desire_v of_o needful_a thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o as_o ground_n when_o it_o be_v dry_a open_v it_o ground_n self_n into_o cleft_n and_o cranny_n and_o gape_v towards_o heaven_n as_o though_o it_o will_v devour_v the_o cloud_n so_o must_v the_o true_a christian_a be_v affect_v in_o prayer_n earnest_o desire_v the_o supply_n of_o his_o want_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n thus_o it_o appear_v a_o man_n may_v speak_v word_n of_o prayer_n a_o hundred_o time_n and_o yet_o never_o pray_v true_o if_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o dispose_v and_o affect_v to_o god_n prayer_n be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v first_o a_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n second_o not_o every_o motion_n but_o that_o which_o be_v elevate_v and_o lift_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n three_o not_o every_o lift_n up_o of_o the_o heart_n but_o whereby_o we_o desire_v thing_n needful_a four_a there_o must_v be_v a_o sense_n of_o our_o want_n fifthly_o and_o last_o of_o all_o yea_o chief_a of_o all_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o have_v they_o supply_v and_o thus_o as_o when_o many_o hand_n lift_v at_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v hand_n the_o easy_a heave_v up_o so_o when_o all_o these_o concur_v together_o prayer_n be_v the_o more_o full_o make_v and_o the_o better_o accept_v prayer_n the_o second_o general_a thing_n in_o this_o duty_n of_o prayer_n be_v why_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o though_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v enough_o for_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v answer_v all_o temptation_n as_o the_o lame_a man_n answer_v the_o jew_n john_n 5._o 11._o he_o 11._o who_o heal_v i_o say_v unto_o i_o take_v up_o thy_o bed_n and_o walk_v so_o we_o may_v say_v he_o who_o heal_v i_o with_o a_o plaster_n of_o his_o own_o blood_n he_o that_o deliver_v i_o

infirmity_n lie_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n i_o will_v a_o little_a enlarge_v myself_o in_o this_o point_n though_o i_o say_v this_o answer_n may_v be_v enough_o for_o us._n first_o then_o there_o be_v certain_a objection_n to_o be_v answer_v why_o we_o need_v not_o pray_v second_o we_o will_v show_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v the_o objection_n that_o may_v scale_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n and_o put_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o need_v not_o pray_v be_v two_o the_o first_o be_v because_o no_o man_n can_v make_v any_o change_n or_o 6._o alteration_n in_o the_o

prayer_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v i_o answer_v we_o pray_v not_o to_o make_v a_o change_n in_o god_n for_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a but_o we_o pray_v to_o make_v a_o change_n in_o answer_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o that_o goodness_n kindness_n and_o mercy_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v in_o god_n a_o man_n that_o stand_v in_o the_o sun_n with_o his_o eye_n shut_v if_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n he_o must_v not_o think_v to_o have_v shut_v it_o by_o make_v any_o change_n or_o alteration_n in_o the_o sun_n but_o he_o must_v make_v a_o change_n and_o alteration_n in_o himself_o open_v his_o own_o eye_n lift_v up_o his_o own_o eyelidde_n and_o then_o see_v the_o comfortable_a light_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o shine_v about_o he_o even_o so_o if_o a_o man_n will_v participate_v of_o those_o precious_a and_o rich_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n the_o way_n be_v not_o to_o think_v by_o our_o prayer_n to_o make_v any_o change_n or_o alteration_n in_o he_o but_o to_o make_v a_o change_n in_o ourselves_o draw_v etc._n our_o heart_n and_o affection_n near_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o ancient_a father_n well_o observe_v where_o he_o most_o excellent_o well_o open_v the_o very_a same_o point_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o objection_n be_v all_o thing_n be_v decree_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o if_o god_n have_v decree_v this_o or_o that_o then_o whether_o we_o pray_v or_o pray_v

repentance_n or_o confession_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n but_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o wilful_o or_o willing_o forget_v they_o in_o such_o sin_n wherein_o a_o man_n either_o in_o body_n word_n or_o good_n do_v hurt_v his_o neighbour_n have_v no_o ill_a intent_n towards_o he_o nor_o afterward_o know_v it_o in_o this_o case_n generality_n will_v serve_v but_o second_o some_o be_v such_o sin_n as_o we_o do_v know_v of_o and_o such_o as_o in_o which_o we_o well_o understand_v and_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v wrong_v our_o neighbour_n now_o if_o they_o be_v such_o sin_n as_o we_o do_v not_o know_v of_o as_o i_o say_v before_o or_o be_v forget_v or_o we_o do_v not_o know_v to_o be_v sin_n then_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o confess_v they_o for_o else_o who_o can_v be_v save_v for_o a_o number_n of_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o our_o brethren_n which_o we_o forget_v and_o a_o number_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v which_o we_o do_v not_o know_v to_o be_v sin_n against_o they_o as_o 2._o sam._n 21._o 3_o 3._o david_n know_v not_o how_o he_o have_v offend_v the_o gibeonite_n but_o if_o they_o be_v such_o sin_n as_o one_o do_v know_v these_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o confess_v not_o only_o unto_o god_n but_o unto_o the_o person_n wrong_v also_o as_o christ_n counsel_n be_v luke_n 17._o 3._o 3._o take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o if_o thy_o brother_n trespass_n against_o thou_o rebuke_v he_o if_o he_o repent_v forgive_v he_o quest._n 2_o the_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v upon_o his_o repentance_n to_o make_v restitution_n of_o that_o which_o be_v take_v away_o by_o unjustice_n answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v in_o this_o case_n two_o party_n offend_v proportionable_a to_o which_o must_v be_v our_o practice_n of_o repentance_n 1._o god_n 2._o our_o neighbour_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o justice_n that_o the_o penalty_n must_v stretch_v as_o far_o as_o the_o fault_n therefore_o it_o will_v follow_v because_o both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v offend_v in_o this_o case_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o repent_v to_o god_n but_o also_o to_o man_n and_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o hurt_n which_o we_o have_v do_v to_o they_o for_o it_o be_v repentance_n the_o nature_n of_o repentance_n to_o bring_v all_o thing_n as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v unto_o their_o former_a estate_n again_o note_n now_o we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o injustice_n god_n be_v offend_v &_o our_o neighbour_n be_v hurt_v wherefore_o by_o our_o repentance_n we_o reconcile_v ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o by_o our_o restitution_n unto_o man_n we_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o hurt_n we_o have_v do_v they_o so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v restitution_n and_o satisfaction_n that_o wherein_o we_o have_v endamage_v our_o brother_n there_o may_v be_v addition_n unto_o his_o own_o for_o if_o our_o brother_n have_v aught_o against_o we_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v we_o until_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o our_o practice_n brother_n by_o restitution_n and_o satisfaction_n as_o christ_n counsel_n be_v math._n 7._o 23._o if_o thou_o bring_v thy_o gift_n to_o the_o altar_n 23._o and_o there_o remember_v that_o thy_o brother_n have_v aught_o against_o thou_o leave_v there_o thy_o offering_n before_o the_o altar_n go_v thy_o way_n and_o first_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n and_o then_o come_v and_o offer_v thy_o offering_n whereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o any_o duty_n which_o we_o shall_v do_v until_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o our_o brother_n thus_o exod._n 22._o 5._o god_n command_v 5._o that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v hurt_v to_o a_o field_n or_o a_o vineyard_n he_o shall_v recompense_v of_o the_o best_a of_o the_o field_n or_o of_o the_o best_a of_o the_o vineyard_n so_o num_fw-la 5._o 7._o god_n say_v in_o such_o a_o case_n of_o trespass_n 8._o and_o they_o shall_v confess_v their_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v do_v and_o he_o shall_v recompense_v his_o trespass_n with_o the_o principal_a thereof_o and_o shall_v add_v unto_o it_o a_o five_o part_n also_o and_o give_v it_o unto_o he_o against_o who_o he_o have_v trespass_v object_n 1_o ob._n 1._o but_o what_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o able_a soll._n then_o do_v what_o you_o can_v or_o may_v 2._o cor._n 8._o 12._o ob._n 2._o what_o if_o the_o party_n be_v dead_a soll._n then_o

by_o advice_n of_o the_o minister_n dispose_v thereof_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o injustice_n to_o be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n wherein_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o restitution_n satisfaction_n and_o confession_n if_o a_o man_n have_v speak_v ill_o of_o his_o neighbour_n he_o must_v be_v sorry_a foe_fw-mi it_o and_o speak_v well_o of_o he_o again_o if_o servant_n steal_v or_o purloin_v any_o thing_n of_o their_o master_n they_o must_v make_v it_o good_a confess_v their_o fault_n and_o restore_v it_o unto_o they_o again_o if_o ever_o god_n bring_v they_o home_o to_o himself_o so_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v get_v away_o his_o neighbour_n good_n by_o injustice_n or_o by_o deceit_n or_o fraud_n or_o cozen_v of_o he_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o a_o man_n until_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v in_o forgery_n oppression_n subornation_n false_a witness_n and_o the_o rest_n there_o must_v follow_v repentance_n and_o satisfaction_n or_o no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n see_v then_o what_o a_o great_a sin_n this_o of_o injustice_n be_v and_o what_o a_o grievous_a burden_n a_o man_n pull_v upon_o himself_o when_o he_o have_v gather_v together_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ill_o get_v good_n for_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v he_o be_v in_o hazard_n to_o be_v either_o a_o damn_a sinner_n or_o a_o stark_a beggar_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o woeful_a case_n when_o parent_n put_v and_o adventure_v their_o child_n upon_o any_o bad_a course_n not_o care_v how_o so_o they_o may_v enrich_v they_o there_o be_v a_o

that_o these_o sin_n be_v sin_n of_o injustice_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o only_o repent_v for_o they_o but_o also_o they_o must_v make_v restitution_n and_o satisfaction_n if_o a_o man_n do_v sin_n against_o god_n if_o he_o confess_v and_o repent_v god_n will_v forgive_v he_o but_o if_o he_o do_v sin_n against_o man_n he_o must_v not_o only_o confess_v to_o god_n but_o also_o unto_o
