text_n that_o the_o truth_n deducible_a from_o thence_o will_v be_v many_o and_o the_o time_n take_v up_o in_o the_o explicate_a and_o unfolding_n of_o those_o truth_n will_v be_v long_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v neither_o trace_v the_o logical_a step_n nor_o tread_v the_o theological_a path_n but_o with_o what_o brevity_n and_o succinctnesse_n i_o can_v possible_o i_o will_v first_o

for_o the_o orderly_a dissect_n or_o break_v up_o of_o the_o text_n we_o must_v observe_v as_o at_o first_o we_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o word_n two_o thing_n offer_v themselves_o to_o our_o view_n to_o wit_n 1._o the_o prophet_n petition_n text_n a_o three_o analysis_n of_o the_o text_n 2._o the_o repetition_n thereof_o 1._o in_o his_o petition_n be_v two_o thing_n clear_o express_v to_o wit_n

the_o lord_n right_a hand_n 2._o we_o have_v the_o repetition_n of_o his_o request_n in_o these_o word_n and_o hear_v i_o from_o the_o whole_a word_n we_o have_v three_o particular_n diligent_o to_o observe_v or_o three_o word_n to_o explicate_v and_o expound_v if_o we_o desire_v to_o attain_v to_o a_o true_a sight_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n text._n the_o sense_n and_o mea_n of_o the_o text._n namely_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o save_v by_o god_n right_a hand_n and_o by_o hear_v and_o we_o must_v note_v that_o each_o of_o these_o have_v a_o double_a acception_n and_o signification_n in_o scripture_n first_o twofold_a salvation_n twofold_a there_o be_v a_o twofold_a salvation_n mention_v in_o the_o word_n viz._n 1._o spiritual_a or_o eternal_a of_o the_o soul_n as_o james_n 1.21_o and_o in_o diverse_a place_n he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v your_o soul_n and_o 2._o corporal_a or_o temporal_a of_o the_o body_n as_o joshua_n 10.6_o and_o in_o many_o more_o text_n save_o thou_o we_o oh_o lord_n and_o help_v we_o and_o of_o this_o salvation_n the_o text_n speak_v save_o i_o e._n preserve_v succour_n relieve_v and_o help_v we_o with_o thy_o right_a hand_n second_o way_n god_n right_a hand_n take_v two_o way_n the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o double_a acception_n also_o for_o 1._o sometime_o it_o signify_v his_o authority_n and_o power_n as_o psalm_n 110.1_o 2.29_o 1._o king_n 2.29_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o my_o lord_n sit_v thou_o on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o foots-stoole_n and_o thus_o solomon_n set_v his_o mother_n on_o his_o right_a hand_n that_o be_v the_o chies_a place_n next_o unto_o himself_o and_o 2._o sometime_o it_o signify_v the_o might_n strength_n force_n and_o

have_v a_o double_a sound_n and_o signification_n in_o sacred_a scripture_n for_o 1._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d proper_o and_o literal_o and_o so_o it_o signify_v to_o take_v up_o or_o perceive_v something_o with_o the_o sense_n of_o hear_v and_o thus_o sound_v noise_n and_o word_n be_v hear_v and_o 2._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d after_o a_o humane_a manner_n for_o our_o better_a understanding_n and_o thus_o it_o signify_v to_o attend_v mark_v or_o listen_v when_o we_o declare_v any_o thing_n to_o

the_o proposition_n arise_v from_o the_o text_n and_o to_o your_o understanding_n with_o a_o threefold_a hammer_n i_o have_v sufficient_o break_v and_o bruise_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o text_n set_v we_o now_o suck_v the_o marrow_n which_o lie_v before_o we_o and_o serious_o ponder_v these_o point_n which_o be_v obvious_a and_o conspicuous_a unto_o we_o from_o the_o word_n thus_o expound_v

present_a portion_n of_o holy_a writ_n we_o shall_v see_v god_n will_v when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a handle_n of_o they_o i_o will_v begin_v first_o with_o the_o first_o which_o be_v this_o that_o although_o all_o the_o faithful_a flock_n etc._n doctrine_n 1._o psal_n 91.10.11.12_o &_o 125.1.2_o &_o 121.1.2.3_o etc._n etc._n and_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n have_v many_o

performance_n of_o those_o promise_n but_o earnest_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v good_a unto_o they_o how_o natural_o this_o note_n arise_v from_o the_o text_n will_v easy_o appear_v text._n how_o the_o point_n be_v deduce_v from_o the_o text._n if_o we_o do_v but_o observe_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v special_a and_o particular_a promise_n unto_o this_o his_o belove_a prophet_n which_o be_v not_o hide_v from_o he_o but_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o and_o understand_v by_o he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o wrestle_v and_o war_n with_o god_n for_o the_o

observe_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o our_o princely_a prophet_n make_v mention_n of_o god_n promise_n make_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o 4._o and_o 6._o verse_n and_o make_v his_o prayer_n unto_o god_n

john_n 5.14_o the_o doubt_n here_o to_o be_v resolve_v be_v what_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v in_o faith_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n be_v to_o apprehend_v and_o remember_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o word_n those_o promise_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o 2._o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n be_v to_o adhibite_fw-la and_o give_v faith_n to_o the_o promise_v apprehend_v and_o understand_v believe_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o and_o 3._o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n be_v to_o pray_v in_o this_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n that_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hear_v and_o our_o request_n grant_v or_o to_o pray_v for_o those_o thing_n which_o by_o a_o certain_a faith_n we_o hope_v for_o 9.25_o exod._n 17.1_o kin._n 18._o exod._n 9.25_o and_o thus_o moses_n pray_v in_o faith_n for_o victory_n against_o amalech_n and_o elias_n for_o rain_n moses_n against_o thunder_n in_o these_o word_n i_o will_v spread_v my_o hand_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o thunder_n shall_v cease_v where_o we_o see_v that_o he_o pray_v with_o confidence_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n will_v hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o thus_o ought_v we_o to_o ask_v in_o faith_n and_o pray_v with_o assurance_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v we_o here_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a kind_n of_o assurance_n to_o wit_n 1._o extraordinary_a which_o proceed_v of_o some_o special_a revelation_n as_o here_o moses_n build_v upon_o god_n particular_a promise_n make_v unto_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o his_o prayer_n shall_v take_v effect_n now_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v 2._o ordinary_a assurance_n which_o be_v twofold_a to_o wit_n 1._o when_o we_o pray_v for_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o concern_v life_n eternal_a and_o here_o the_o faithful_a have_v a_o absolute_a assurance_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o 2._o when_o we_o pray_v for_o temporal_a thing_n where_o our_o assurance_n be_v but_o conditional_a viz._n that_o god_n will_v grant_v we_o such_o thing_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o be_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a for_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v in_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v that_o be_v 1._o let_v we_o learn_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n and_o know_v what_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o word_n that_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v build_v upon_o those_o promise_n for_o otherwise_o they_o be_v without_o a_o foundation_n like_o the_o city_n build_v upon_o the_o sand_n 2._o let_v we_o confident_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o

in_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o meaning_n for_o this_o be_v true_a faith_n according_a to_o the_o father_n in_o these_o word_n bern._n bern._n crede_fw-la quod_fw-la remittuntur_fw-la peccata_fw-la

they_o unto_o we_o believe_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o and_o unto_o we_o for_o this_o be_v not_o presumption_n but_o faith_n then_o 3._o in_o this_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n let_v we_o pray_v for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a either_o for_o ourselves_o or_o other_o and_o we_o shall_v undoubted_o either_o procure_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

which_o we_o send_v forth_o unto_o god_n either_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o ourselves_o or_o other_o may_v be_v prevalent_a with_o he_o according_a to_o our_o desire_n than_o we_o must_v pray_v zealous_o and_o fervent_o zealous_a prayer_n must_v ascend_v if_o we_o desire_v that_o grace_n may_v descend_v because_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n must_v he_o be_v serve_v and_o seek_v unto_o now_o 2._o prayer_n how_o zeal_n must_v be_v qualify_v in_o prayer_n it_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n how_o our_o zeal_n in_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v regulate_v namely_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o here_o note_n that_o we_o either_o pray_v for_o temporal_a thing_n or_o spiritual_a first_o sometime_o we_o pray_v for_o thing_n which_o concern_v our_o body_n life_n and_o estate_n and_o for_o these_o we_o must_v pray_v modest_o moderate_o with_o a_o willing_a submission_n unto_o god_n will_n and_o not_o with_o that_o ardour_n of_o affection_n that_o we_o desire_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o all_o and_o second_o sometime_o we_o pray_v for_o spiritual_a thing_n now_o these_o either_o concern_v ourselves_o our_o god_n or_o our_o brethren_n 1._o sometime_o we_o pray_v for_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o concern_v ourselves_o as_o for_o the_o remission_n and_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o turn_n away_o of_o the_o judgement_n which_o worthy_o deserve_v for_o our_o sin_n commit_v and_o here_o we_o must_v pray_v zealous_o but_o in_o the_o positive_a degree_n of_o zeal_n sometime_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o quantity_n measure_n degree_n and_o extent_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v please_v to_o shed_v abroad_o his_o grace_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o to_o establish_v our_o heart_n in_o grace_n and_o to_o augment_v and_o increase_v his_o grace_n in_o we_o more_o and_o more_o and_o here_o we_o must_v pray_v more_o zealous_o but_o yet_o only_o in_o the_o comparative_a degree_n of_o zeal_n for_o as_o we_o must_v more_o zealous_o pray_v for_o grace_n and_o the_o increase_n thereof_o then_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o aversion_n of_o judgement_n so_o there_o be_v something_o else_o which_o we_o must_v more_o zealous_o desire_n than_o grace_n 2._o sometime_o we_o pray_v for_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o concern_v our_o god_n that_o be_v when_o we_o pray_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o advancement_n thereof_o and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o his_o name_n now_o here_o we_o shall_v pray_v most_o zealous_o of_o all_o in_o the_o superlative_a degree_n of_o zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o any_o thing_n that_o concern_v we_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o glory_n of_o our_o god_n tread_v in_o the_o dust_n or_o his_o name_n dishonour_v or_o his_o truth_n persecute_v we_o shall_v then_o double_v and_o redouble_v our_o request_n

last_o the_o main_a cause_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v sin_n and_o spiritual_a rebellion_n now_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o nature_n and_o number_n the_o quantity_n and_o
