what_o god_n have_v direct_o promise_v to_o we_o yet_o he_o require_v we_o to_o demand_v this_o of_o he_o by_o prayer_n whether_o it_o be_v for_o give_v we_o good_a thing_n or_o for_o remove_v evil_a

be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o way_n let_v not_o this_o quench_v our_o zeal_n sol._n or_o abate_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o reverend_a frequency_n of_o this_o holy_a duty_n for_o god_n the_o father_n have_v two_o manner_n and_o kind_n of_o distribution_n and_o dispensation_n of_o his_o favour_n among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n here_o on_o earth_n 1_o god_n bestow_v his_o gift_n as_o a_o faithful_a creator_n and_o so_o he_o be_v conserver_n of_o his_o creature_n by_o a_o general_a providence_n and_o thus_o he_o let_v his_o sun_n shine_v and_o his_o rain_n fall_v upon_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a thus_o he_o open_v his_o hand_n and_o fill_v all_o thing_n with_o plenty_n 2_o god_n bestow_v other_o favour_n as_o a_o merciful_a father_n for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o with_o those_o favour_n his_o blessing_n go_v forth_o and_o pass_v upon_o they_o only_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o see_v he_o have_v ordain_v christ_n his_o son_n to_o be_v the_o way_n of_o his_o blessing_n all_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v on_o man_n without_o the_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v come_v without_o his_o blessing_n the_o ungodly_a of_o the_o earth_n do_v receive_v many_o of_o god_n common_a gift_n but_o not_o by_o the_o way_n of_o grace_n therefore_o they_o be_v without_o his_o blessing_n so_o that_o we_o can_v esteem_v the_o owner_n thereof_o rich_a see_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n make_v man_n true_o rich_a but_o whatsoever_o the_o ungodly_a possess_v be_v to_o they_o unsanctified_a therefore_o let_v not_o our_o eye_n be_v set_v upon_o that_o which_o they_o have_v and_o enjoy_v to_o envy_v their_o prosperity_n rather_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o want_n of_o god_n blessing_n to_o lament_v their_o misery_n and_o let_v saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o god_n bestow_v on_o his_o dear_a child_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o by_o prayer_n thus_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v make_v blessing_n to_o we_o &_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o they_o to_o god_n glory_n in_o we_o &_o the_o advancement_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o receiver_n do_v appear_v to_o we_o 1_o in_o the_o effect_n that_o these_o gift_n work_v in_o they_o 2_o in_o the_o use_n to_o which_o they_o be_v apply_v 1_o for_o the_o effect_n where_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n do_v bestow_v and_o we_o do_v receive_v good_a thing_n from_o he_o there_o follow_v contentation_n which_o ever_o deny_v godliness_n but_o the_o ungodly_a man_n be_v never_o satisfy_v 2_o for_o the_o use_n the_o just_a man_n apply_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o three_o end_n 1_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o he_o use_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o the_o faculty_n of_o well_o do_v whether_o you_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n 2_o to_o the_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n for_o that_o be_v the_o law_n proximum_fw-la tuum_fw-la ut_fw-la teipsum_fw-la so_o that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o both_o our_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a gift_n do_v by_o

though_o into_o itself_o first_o but_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a body_n 3_o because_o the_o end_n of_o our_o creation_n be_v not_o for_o this_o life_n and_o we_o have_v here_o no_o abide_v city_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a do_v apply_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o help_n to_o the_o prosecution_n of_o eternal_a life_n whereas_o the_o ungodly_a find_v they_o impediment_n to_o they_o the_o cause_n be_v for_o they_o make_v they_o the_o end_n of_o their_o labour_n and_o fix_v their_o heart_n upon_o they_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n be_v thus_o clear_v from_o the_o commandment_n by_o which_o it_o be_v impose_v and_o from_o our_o necessity_n no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v relieve_v 2_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o observe_v in_o those_o disciple_n that_o they_o find_v themselves_o not_o well_o instruct_v in_o that_o service_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o desire_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o this_o be_v a_o common_a defect_n for_o although_o by_o a_o natural_a instinct_n we_o know_v that_o good_a thing_n be_v seek_v by_o prayer_n and_o the_o want_n and_o grief_n which_o we_o do_v feel_v will_v easy_o break_v forth_o into_o word_n yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o know_v not_o what_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v 8.26_o i_o understand_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v 1_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o prayer_n what_o to_o ask_v 2_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o as_o they_o ought_v but_o because_o this_o motion_n do_v arise_v from_o a_o sense_n of_o defect_n in_o themselves_o we_o know_v not_o say_v saint_n paul_n 1_o then_o of_o that_o sense_n 1_o every_o man_n have_v this_o defect_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o wise_a enough_o to_o pray_v prayer_n be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o better_a spirit_n than_o that_o which_o enlive_n and_o actuate_v our_o mortal_a body_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v also_o the_o spirit_n of_o supplication_n but_o every_o man_n do_v not_o feel_v this_o defect_n for_o many_o do_v overween_v their_o ability_n this_o way_n and_o despise_v the_o help_n of_o all_o set_a prayer_n and_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v able_a without_o any_o other_o direction_n to_o tell_v their_o own_o tale_n to_o god_n almighty_a and_o upon_o this_o ability_n which_o they_o conceive_v in_o themselves_o for_o this_o service_n they_o do_v neglect_v the_o public_a meeting_n of_o our_o church_n to_o our_o common_a prayer_n i_o judge_v not_o their_o sufficiency_n that_o way_n but_o i_o must_v admonish_v you_o that_o you_o do_v mistrust_v it_o every_o man_n in_o himself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o put_v all_o the_o fear_n and_o holy_a reverence_n you_o can_v to_o this_o work_n for_o if_o we_o be_v careful_a in_o petition_n to_o great_a personage_n and_o prince_n to_o weigh_v our_o word_n and_o to_o advise_v with_o our_o best_a care_n both_o what_o and_o how_o we_o desire_v this_o holy_a service_n of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o main_a a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n can_v be_v undertake_v with_o too_o much_o fear_n and_o reverence_n we_o can_v come_v too_o prepare_v to_o this_o conference_n with_o our_o god_n they_o that_o be_v sensible_a hereof_o as_o no_o doubt_n these_o apostle_n be_v do_v well_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v teach_v we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v teach_v our_o own_o and_o it_o be_v not_o quench_v the_o spirit_n in_o our_o brethren_n to_o admonish_v they_o of_o this_o natural_a unfitnesse_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o pray_v

although_o they_o go_v too_o far_o in_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o force_n of_o imitation_n we_o may_v true_o charge_v a_o great_a deal_n even_o the_o most_o of_o our_o evil_n upon_o it_o it_o give_v
