all_o of_o they_o together_o and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v from_o hence_o proceed_v that_o their_o be_v never_o a_o end_n of_o desire_v these_o thing_n and_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o these_o

of_o so_o large_a a_o extent_n and_o capacity_n that_o they_o can_v be_v satisfy_v but_o with_o the_o chief_a good_a which_o be_v god_n himself_o the_o contemplation_n therefore_o and_o fruition_n of_o this_o good_a be_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v desire_v this_o only_a satisfi_v this_o banish_v all_o longing_n but_o this_o can_v be_v obtain_v but_o by_o good_a life_n nor_o good_a life_n without_o prayer_n where_o by_o it_o appear_v that_o whosoever_o desire_v to_o in_o joy_n this_o happiness_n must_v chief_o above_o all_o thing_n be_v intent_n to_o this_o holy_a exercise_n of_o prayer_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o reason_n the_o three_o reason_n why_o god_n in_o to_o be_v pray_v unto_o chap._n ii_o in_o this_o three_o place_n it_o will_v not_o a_o little_a stir_v we_o

instruct_v we_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n than_o the_o son_n of_o almighty_a god_n in_o who_o god_n the_o father_n place_v the_o treasure_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o who_o for_o that_o purpose_n descend_v into_o this_o world_n to_o show_v we_o the_o right_a way_n to_o our_o heavenly_a country_n or_o who_o will_v endeavour_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o way_n than_o he_o who_o for_o the_o love_n of_o we_o have_v undergonne_v the_o most_o troublesome_a most_o ignominious_a and_o most_o painful_a and_o contemptible_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n neither_o have_v he_o only_o admonish_v we_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o pray_v continual_o but_o he_o have_v likewise_o promise_v that_o we_o shall_v

jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o have_v promise_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n let_v we_o therefore_o fly_v unto_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o clemency_n and_o let_v we_o there_o continual_o pray_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o good_a life_n and_o perseverance_n in_o good_a work_n nothing_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v more_o willing_o and_o liberal_o grant_v our_o

misery_n of_o this_o world_n exile_v from_o the_o face_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n it_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o obey_v this_o wholesome_a council_n of_o christ_n that_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v determinate_o resolve_v with_o himself_o not_o to_o pray_v he_o sin_v mortal_o and_o which_o be_v more_o whosoever_o shall_v malicious_o neglect_v to_o pray_v have_v time_n and_o opportunity_n and_o chief_o when_o he_o see_v himself_o in_o danger_n to_o fall_v into_o sin_n such_o negligence_n may_v like_v wise_a be_v mortal_a although_o the_o negligence_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v but_o a_o venial_a sin_n great_a or_o lesser_a according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o negligence_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v more_o diligent_o discuss_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n will_v yet_o more_o manifest_o appear_v the_o salvation_n certain_o of_o every_o christian_a depend_v of_o god_n who_o we_o must_v daily_o implore_v for_o obtain_v of_o the_o same_o and_o because_o this_o salvation_n of_o we_o be_v in_o continual_a danger_n and_o that_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o procure_v it_o with_o all_o the_o care_n and_o diligence_n he_o can_v hence_o be_v it_o that_o every_o moment_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o it_o alwaise_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o heaven_n alwayse_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n see_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obtain_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v then_o from_o he_o and_o by_o he_o neither_o must_v we_o only_o pray_v for_o our_o own_o salvation_n but_o also_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o neighbour_n for_o as_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o succour_n and_o relieve_v he_o when_o he_o see_v he_o in_o corporal_a and_o temporal_a necessity_n so_o be_v he_o much_o more_o bind_v when_o hesee_v he_o in_o any_o spiritual_a danger_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o relieve_v he_o and_o at_o this_o present_a time_n we_o have_v most_o need_n to_o pray_v see_v the_o time_n be_v such_o and_o so_o dangerous_a as_o they_o now_o be_v sinner_n be_v so_o multiply_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o sin_n itself_o so_o daily_o increase_v as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v now_o

this_o manner_n there_o be_v no_o man_n clothe_v with_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n who_o have_v not_o sometime_o finned_a and_o high_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n nor_o that_o have_v any_o warrant_n or_o security_n hereafter_o not_o to_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v most_o necessary_a for_o we_o by_o daily_a prayer_n not_o only_o to_o seek_v that_o he_o will_v gracious_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v our_o former_a sin_n but_o also_o that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o prevent_v we_o with_o his_o grace_n lest_o we_o fall_v again_o into_o other_o sin_n through_o which_o we_o may_v incur_v eternal_a punishment_n and_o first_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o soul_n have_v once_o be_v infect_v with_o sin_n that_o certain_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o no_o unless_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o he_o wherefore_o solomon_n say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o ecclesiastes_n there_o be_v just_a and_o wise_a man_n and_o their_o work_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o man_n know_v not_o whether_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o love_n or_o hatred_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v keep_v uncertain_a unto_o the_o last_o that_o be_v all_o thing_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o last_o examine_v where_o nothing_o shall_v be_v hide_v not_o the_o least_o thought_n that_o have_v enter_v into_o man_n herat_o shall_v be_v conceal_v from_o the_o most_o strict_a judge_n but_o although_o no_o man_n in_o this_o estate_n of_o life_n know_v certainty_n whether_o he_o be_v in_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o no_o yet_o by_o certain_a conjecture_n he_o may_v undoubted_o believe_v it_o and_o especial_o when_o he_o know_v not_o that_o his_o conscience_n be_v charge_v with_o any_o mortal_a sin_n of_o which_o he_o have_v not_o here_o to_o fore_n repent_v or_o which_o he_o have_v not_o discover_v to_o his_o ghostly_a father_n or_o do_v intend_v to_o discover_v at_o his_o first_o opportunity_n and_o if_o moreover_o he_o find_v himself_o incline_v to_o do_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n those_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n if_o he_o be_v delight_v to_o hear_v holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v often_o present_a at_o divine_a service_n
