mourninge_n and_o sigh_n we_o shall_v ascend_v to_o our_o redemption_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v above_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o know_v god_n to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o whereunto_o we_o trust_v dare_v call_v upon_o god_n as_o father_n now_o repeat_v again_o this_o second_o member_n of_o invocation_n he_o say_v we_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o same_o spirit_n how_o he_o be_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v ask_v of_o he_o by_o prayer_n and_o very_o apt_o he_o have_v annex_v prayer_n to_o the_o careful_a or_o heavy_a desire_n of_o the_o faithful_a because_o god_n do_v not_o therefore_o afflict_v his_o with_o misery_n that_o they_o shall_v inward_o devour_v up_o a_o hide_a or_o secret_a sorrow_n afflict_v wherefore_o the_o godly_a be_v afflict_v but_o that_o by_o prayer_n they_o shall_v exonerate_v and_o ease_v themselves_o and_o so_o exercise_v their_o faith_n and_o albeit_o i_o know_v there_o be_v diverse_a interpretation_n bring_v upon_o this_o place_n yet_o the_o meaning_n of_o paul_n seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v simple_o thus_o that_o we_o be_v blind_a in_o pray_v unto_o god_n because_o although_o we_o feel_v our_o evil_n yet_o our_o mind_n be_v more_o intricate_v and_o confound_v then_o that_o they_o can_v right_o elect_v what_o be_v convenient_a or_o expedient_a if_o any_o man_n except_v objection_n objection_n that_o there_o be_v a_o rule_n prescribe_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v our_o affection_n nevertheless_o abide_v oppress_v with_o darkness_n answer_n answer_n until_o the_o spirit_n direct_v they_o by_o his_o light_n but_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v request_n for_o us._n although_o indeed_o or_o by_o the_o event_n it_o appear_v not_o as_o yet_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v hard_a of_o god_n nevertheless_o paul_n gather_v that_o even_o in_o the_o very_a study_n of_o pray_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n grace_n already_o shine_v because_o no_o man_n of_o himself_o can_v conceive_v holy_a and_o godly_a prayer_n indeed_o the_o faithless_a babble_n prayer_n but_o with_o mere_a mock_v of_o god_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o either_o sincere_a or_o serious_a or_o right_o compose_v wherefore_o the_o manner_n of_o pray_v well_o must_v needs_o be_v catch_v of_o the_o spirit_n he_o therefore_o call_v those_o sigh_n unevarrable_a wherinto_o we_o burst_v through_o the_o vehement_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o far_o exceed_v the_o capacity_n of_o our_o wit_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o not_o that_o indeed_o humble_o kneel_v it_o do_v abase_v itself_o to_o pray_v or_o mourn_v us._n how_o the_o spirit_n be_v say_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o us._n but_o because_o it_o stir_v up_o those_o prayer_n in_o our_o heart_n wherewithal_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v be_v touch_v second_o it_o do_v so_o move_v our_o heart_n that_o with_o their_o fervency_n they_o pierce_v unto_o the_o very_a heaven_n and_o paul_n speak_v so_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v more_o significant_o attribute_v all_o that_o unto_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o we_o be_v bid_v knock_v but_o no_o man_n can_v of_o himself_o premeditate_v one_o syllable_n unless_o by_o the_o secret_a instinct_n of_o his_o spirit_n god_n knock_v upon_o we_o and_o so_o open_a our_o heart_n unto_o he_o 27_o but_o he_o that_o search_v the_o heart_n know_v the_o cogitation_n this_o be_v a_o notable_a reason_n to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n or_o confidence_n that_o we_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n while_o we_o pray_v by_o his_o spirit_n for_o he_o know_v familiar_o our_o desire_n as_o the_o cogitation_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o here_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o word_n know_v be_v to_o be_v note_v for_o it_o signify_v that_o god_n do_v not_o consider_v those_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o new_a and_o insolent_a or_o reject_v they_o as_o absurd_a but_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o also_o gracious_o receive_v they_o as_o know_v to_o he_o &_o approve_v of_o he_o therefore_o as_o paul_n testify_v of_o late_a that_o god_n do_v then_o help_v we_o while_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v bring_v we_o into_o his_o own_o bosom_n so_o now_o he_o add_v another_o consolation_n namely_o that_o our_o prayer_n whereof_o he_o be_v the_o moderator_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a the_o reason_n also_o be_v add_v straightway_o because_o in_o so_o do_v he_o conform_v we_o to_o his_o wil._n whereby_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o that_o can_v be_v in_o vain_a which_o be_v agree_v to_o his_o will_n whereby_o all-thing_n be_v govern_v here_o also_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o consent_n with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o prayer_n which_o consent_n our_o own_o desire_n hold_v not_o fast_o tie_v unto_o they_o wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o prayer_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n let_v we_o beseech_v he_o to_o moderate_v they_o according_a to_o his_o will_n 28_o also_o we_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a unto_o they_o that_o love_n god_n namely_o to_o they_o who_o be_v call_v saint_n according_a to_o his_o purpose_n 29_o for_o those_o which_o he_o know_v before_o he_o also_o predestinate_a to_o be_v make_v like_o to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o first_o bear_v among_o many_o brethren_n 30_o and_o who_o he_o have_v predestinate_a they_o also_o he_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o also_o he_o justify_v and_o who_o he_o justify_v they_o also_o he_o glorify_v 28_o also_o we_o know_v out_o of_o the_o premise_n he_o now_o conclude_v that_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hinder_v our_o salvation_n that_o rather_o they_o further_o it_o neither_o let_v it_o that_o he_o have_v put_v the_o particle_n illative_a see_v it_o be_v no_o novaltie_n with_o he_o so_o to_o confound_v adverb_n although_o this_o conclusion_n do_v also_o contain_v a_o preoccupation_n for_o here_o the_o sense_n of_o flesh_n exclaim_v that_o it_o appear_v not_o god_n do_v hear_v our_o prayer_n see_v our_o affliction_n proceed_v always_o in_o the_o same_o course_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n prevent_v that_o say_v although_o god_n do_v not_o by_o and_o by_o help_v his_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o forsake_v they_o because_o by_o a_o wonderful_a skill_n he_o turn_v those_o thing_n to_o their_o salvation_n which_o seem_v discommodity_n if_o any_o have_v rather_o read_v this_o sentence_n by_o itself_o as_o though_o paul_n go_v about_o by_o a_o new_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o adversity_n which_o further_o our_o salvation_n be_v not_o heavy_o and_o grievous_o to_o be_v bear_v i_o do_v not_o gainstande_v it_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o counsel_n of_o paul_n be_v not_o bscure_a although_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_a be_v indifferent_o subject_a to_o the_o like_a evil_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n because_o god_n instruct_v the_o faithful_a by_o affliction_n do_v procure_v their_o salvation_n and_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o paul_n speak_v not_o but_o of_o adversity_n as_o though_o he_o say_v whatsoever_o thing_n happen_v to_o the_o godly_a faithful_a adversity_n by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v make_v commodious_a to_o the_o faithful_a they_o be_v so_o temper_v from_o above_o that_o that_o which_o the_o world_n think_v to_o be_v hurtful_a the_o issue_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v profitable_a for_o albeit_o that_o be_v true_a augustine_n say_v even_o sin_n through_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n providence_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hurt_v the_o saint_n that_o they_o serve_v rather_o to_o their_o health_n yet_o it_o appertain_v not_o unto_o this_o place_n where_o he_o intreat_v of_o the_o cross_n and_o note_v that_o he_o have_v comprehend_v the_o sum_n of_o piety_n under_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o indeed_o the_o whole_a study_n of_o righteousness_n depend_v thereon_o to_o those_o who_o be_v call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n this_o parcel_n seem_v to_o be_v add_v by_o the_o way_n of_o correction_n lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o the_o faithful_a because_o they_o love_v god_n do_v obtain_v by_o their_o desert_n that_o they_o receive_v such_o fruit_n by_o adversity_n for_o we_o know_v when_o the_o matter_n of_o salvation_n be_v in_o hand_n man_n will_v gladlye_a begin_v at_o themselves_o and_o fain_o unto_o themselves_o preparation_n whereby_o they_o may_v prevent_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n therefore_o paul_n teach_v that_o those_o who_o he_o call_v the_o woorshipper_n of_o god_n be_v elect_v before_o of_o he_o for_o it_o be_v sure_a the_o order_n be_v therefore_o note_v that_o we_o may_v know_v whereas_o all_o thing_n fall_v out_o for_o the_o health_n of_o the_o godly_a that_o depend_v upon_o the_o free_a adoption_n of_o

patient_o expect_v a_o deliverance_n for_o he_o will_v that_o they_o be_v lift_v up_o with_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o blessedness_n to_o come_v shall_v with_o stoutness_n of_o mind_n overcome_v all_o the_o present_a evil_n that_o they_o may_v not_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v but_o what_o they_o shall_v be_v which_o have_v the_o first_o beginning_n whereas_o some_o interpret_v first_o fruit_n a_o rare_a &_o singular_a excellency_n that_o i_o like_v not_o at_o all_o &_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v doubtfulness_n i_o choose_v rather_o to_o translate_v it_o first_o beginning_n for_o i_o do_v not_o with_o they_o take_v it_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o apostle_n only_o but_o of_o all_o the_o faithful_a who_o in_o this_o world_n be_v only_o sprinkle_v with_o drop_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o certain_o when_o they_o have_v profit_v very_o well_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o certain_a measure_n thereof_o be_v yet_o far_o from_o the_o perfection_n thereof_o these_o therefore_o be_v unto_o the_o apostle_n the_o first_o beginning_n or_o first_o fruit_n whereunto_o the_o whole_a or_o entire_a increase_n be_v oppose_v for_o see_v we_o be_v not_o yet_o endue_v with_o fullness_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_v though_o we_o be_v move_v with_o disquietness_n and_o whereas_o he_o repeat_v we_o ourselves_o &_o add_v in_o ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v for_o the_o more_o vehemency_n that_o he_o may_v express_v a_o more_o fervent_a desire_n and_o he_o do_v not_o only_a name_n &_o desire_n but_o a_o mourning_n for_o where_o there_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o misery_n there_o be_v also_o mourn_a

thereof_o be_v call_v the_o fruition_n of_o that_o inheritance_n whereunto_o we_o be_v adopt_v for_o paul_n mean_v that_o that_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o for_o

be_v end_v the_o celestial_a inheritance_n may_v receive_v we_o hereunto_o appertain_v the_o redemption_n of_o our_o body_n which_o be_v straightway_o add_v for_o the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v so_o pay_v of_o christ_n that_o death_n nevertheless_o may_v hold_v we_o yet_o bind_v in_o his_o bond_n yea_o we_o carry_v it_o within_o we_o whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o fruitless_a except_o there_o appear_v fruit_n in_o the_o celestial_a renovation_n 24_o for_o we_o be_v save_v by_o hope_n paul_n confirm_v his_o exhortation_n by_o a_o other_o argument_n namely_o because_o our_o salvation_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o a_o kind_n of_o death_n which_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o hope_n for_o see_v hope_n extend_v itself_o unto_o thing_n not_o yet_o know_v by_o experience_n and_o represent_v unto_o our_o mind_n the_o image_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o far_o off_o whatsoever_o be_v either_o open_o see_v or_o hold_v with_o the_o hand_n can_v be_v hope_v for_o but_o paul_n take_v it_o for_o a_o thing_n so_o grant_v that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n our_o salvation_n stand_v in_o hope_n whereby_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v lay_v up_o with_o god_n far_o above_o our_o sense_n whereas_o he_o say_v that_o be_v no_o hope_n which_o be_v see_v it_o be_v very_o a_o hard_a speech_n but_o yet_o such_o as_o observe_v not_o the_o sense_n for_o he_o go_v about_o simple_o to_o teach_v see_v hope_n be_v of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v &_o not_o present_a it_o can_v never_o be_v join_v with_o manifest_a possession_n so_o than_o if_o any_o think_v much_o to_o mourn_v they_o must_v need●_n evert_v the_o order_n be_v set_v down_o of_o god_n who_o do_v not_o call_v his_o unto_o the_o triumph_n before_o he_o have_v exercise_v they_o in_o the_o warfare_n of_o sufferance_n but_o see_v it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o nourish_v our_o salvation_n as_o it_o be_v secret_o in_o his_o bosom_n it_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o to_o labour_v in_o earth_n to_o be_v oppress_v to_o mourn_v to_o be_v afflict_v yea_o to_o lie_n as_o it_o be_v half_o dead_a or_o like_v unto_o those_o be_v dead_a for_o they_o who_o covet_v a_o visible_a salvation_n they_o put_v themselves_o by_o it_o renounce_v hope_n which_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o it_o 25._o but_o if_o we_o hope_v for_o that_o we_o see_v not_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o antecedent_n to_o the_o consequent_a because_o patience_n necessary_o follow_v hope_n for_o if_o it_o be_v grievous_a to_o want_n the_o good_a thing_n thou_o desire_v unless_o thou_o support_v and_o comfort_v thyself_o by_o patience_n thou_o must_v fall_v by_o desperation_n so_o then_o hope_v always_o draw_v patience_n with_o it_o so_o it_o be_v a_o most_o fit_a conclusion_n namely_o that_o the_o do_v vanquish_v away_o whatsoever_o the_o gospel_n promise_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n except_o by_o bear_v the_o cross_n and_o tribulation_n patient_o we_o pass_v through_o this_o present_a life_n for_o it_o life_n be_v invisible_a than_o we_o must_v have_v death_n before_o our_o eye_n if_o glory_n be_v invisible_a than_o ignominy_n be_v present_a therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v comprise_v this_o place_n in_o few_o word_n hope_n the_o salvation_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v lay_v up_o in_o hope_n thou_o may_v digest_v the_o argument_n of_o paul_n into_o this_o form_n salvation_n be_v lay_v up_o in_o hope_n for_o all_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o hope_n to_o intend_v upon_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o which_o be_v absent_a therefore_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v hide_v up_o now_o hope_n be_v not_o otherwise_o maintain_v then_o by_o patience_n therefore_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o consummate_v but_o by_o patience_n faith_n patience_n be_v a_o inseparable_a companion_n of_o faith_n final_o here_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a place_n that_o patience_n be_v a_o inseparable_a companion_n of_o faith_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v at_o hand_n because_o while_o we_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a estate_n the_o sense_n or_o feel_n of_o the_o present_a misery_n be_v mollify_v and_o mitigate_v that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o hard_a to_o be_v ●oure_n 26_o likewise_o the_o spirit_n also_o help_v our_o infirmity_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v but_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v

the_o saint_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n 26_o likewise_o the_o spirit_n also_o lest_o the_o faithful_a shall_v object_v that_o they_o be_v weak_a than_o they_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v so_o many_o &_o so_o hard_a burden_n he_o set_v before_o they_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o overcome_v all_o difficulty_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n then_o why_o any_o shall_v complain_v that_o the_o bear_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v above_o their_o strength_n see_v we_o be_v strengthen_v by_o virtue_n from_o above_o and_o the_o greek_a word_n sunantilambanesthai_n to_o help_v together_o be_v very_o significant_a namely_o that_o the_o spirit_n receive_v unto_o it_o part_n of_o the_o burden_n wherewith_o our_o infirmity_n be_v oppress_v do_v
