that_o be_v what_o come_v from_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n or_o else_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o text_n further_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o in_o exod._n 39_o if_o you_o read_v the_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v ten_o time_n say_v that_o they_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v moses_n and_o then_o in_o the_o

observe_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o god_n have_v command_v they_o but_o the_o main_a thing_n be_v all_o that_o we_o do_v it_o must_v be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v true_a silver_n and_o gold_n but_o it_o must_v have_v the_o rigbt_n stamp_n or_o else_o it_o can_v go_v for_o current_a coin_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o

of_o god_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o question_n that_o he_o will_v ask_v first_o who_o require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n but_o then_o if_o you_o can_v answer_v thus_o thou_o o_o lord_n do_v require_v it_o it_o be_v well_o but_o then_o god_n have_v another_o question_n who_o image_n and_o superscription_n be_v this_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o it_o will_v be_v reject_v too_o thou_o must_v be_v act_v by_o divine_a principle_n in_o all_o that_o thou_o do_v there_o must_v be_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v

open_v this_o point_n full_o will_v ask_v some_o time_n first_o therefore_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v know_v when_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o our_o natural_a part_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a conscience_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1._o first_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o change_v thy_o heart_n man_n that_o do_v perform_v duty_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a part_n they_o may_v be_v as_o large_a as_o other_o and_o speak_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o other_o but_o those_o duty_n do_v never_o change_v their_o heart_n now_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a image_n of_o his_o spirit_n 2._o second_o if_o man_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o carry_v they_o through_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o have_v act_v by_o he_o though_o thou_o do_v meet_v with_o never_o such_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n thou_o will_v be_v carry_v through_o they_o all_o 3._o thou_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o wherein_o do_v thou_o account_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o duty_n to_o consist_v either_o in_o thyself_o or_o other_o thou_o perform_v a_o duty_n now_o it_o may_v be_v thy_o part_n do_v act_v very_o lively_a and_o to_o thy_o credit_n and_o yet_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o that_o thy_o heart_n be_v straighten_v now_o can_v thou_o rise_v up_o with_o

they_o be_v less_o enlarge_v than_o they_o be_v before_o other_o a_o great_a deal_n their_o part_n act_n much_o before_o other_o but_o what_o be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n 5._o they_o that_o be_v so_o act_v will_v not_o be_v very_o constant_a you_o shall_v have_v young_a one_o that_o begin_v to_o look_v towards_o religion_n their_o part_n be_v a_o little_a fresh_a and_o

for_o they_o you_o must_v make_v condition_n lord_n as_o thou_o see_v best_a for_o i_o so_o do_v thou_o deal_v with_o i_o this_o show_v the_o excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n above_o outward_a thing_n sure_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v more_o to_o be_v desire_v for_o they_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o absolute_o and_o the_o other_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o only_o conditional_o that_o be_v for_o the_o first_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o our_o own_o good_a god_n do_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o do_v so_o only_o here_o come_v in_o a_o question_n quest_n whether_o it_o be_v sinful_a to_o pray_v for_o affliction_n as_o sometime_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o do_v answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o take_v it_o absolute_o consider_v we_o may_v not_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v afflict_v we_o because_o afflione_n be_v in_o its_o self_n material_o a_o evil_a thing_n and_o a_o fruit_n of_o the_o curse_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o i_o say_v absolute_o pray_v for_o it_o but_o thus_o far_o we_o may_v pray_v for_o affliction_n disjunctive_o conditional_o comparative_o disjunctive_o thus_o lord_n either_o grant_n unto_o i_o a_o sanctify_a use_n of_o such_o a_o mercy_n or_o otherwise_o let_v i_o rather_o be_v without_o it_o let_v i_o have_v a_o sanctify_a use_n of_o my_o siknes_n or_o otherwise_o let_v my_o sickness_n be_v continue_v to_o i_o thus_o now_o you_o may_v pray_v for_o continue_v in_o sickness_n or_o thus_o conditional_o '_o lord_n if_o thou_o see_v that_o my_o heart_n be_v so_o vile_a and_o wretched_a that_o i_o will_v abuse_v through_o my_o corruption_n such_o and_o such_o mercy_n lord_n rather_o take_v they_o from_o i_o and_o let_v i_o be_v without_o they_o if_o thou_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o

from_o thou_o any_o thing_n lord_n rather_o than_o sin_n thus_o you_o may_v pray_v for_o affliction_n but_o not_o absolute_o you_o must_v not_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v send_v you_o affliction_n absolute_o for_o you_o do_v not_o know_v your_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v if_o affliction_n shall_v come_v your_o heart_n may_v be_v as_o stubborn_a under_o your_o affliction_n as_o they_o be_v now_o for_o affliction_n have_v no_o power_n in_o itself_o to_o do_v we_o any_o good_a and_o then_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o for_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n there_o come_v in_o here_o a_o rebuke_n of_o the_o wicked_a practice_n of_o divers_a in_o curse_v and_o then_o a_o question_n about_o it_o it_o be_v a_o wicked_a thing_n to_o use_v curse_n but_o it_o be_v a_o most_o wicked_a thing_n to_o wish_v evil_a to_o other_o in_o way_n of_o prayer_n yet_o how_o many_o do_v so_o though_o it_o may_v be_v they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o they_o speak_v to_o god_n

a_o instrument_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o thy_o base_a sinful_a wrath_n that_o god_n must_v be_v a_o drudge_n as_o it_o be_v to_o thy_o wrath_n and_o to_o thy_o passion_n this_o be_v abominable_a

drudge_n to_o thy_o passion_n god_n must_v be_v call_v to_o help_v the_o vent_n of_o thy_o passion_n oh_o remember_v this_o you_o that_o have_v be_v at_o sea_n and_o have_v be_v angry_a and_o thing_n

but_o it_o be_v a_o most_o fearful_a take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o certain_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o shall_v so_o take_v his_o

do_v curse_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o wish_n evil_a to_o come_v upon_o they_o answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o prophet_n and_o those_o that_o pen_v the_o psalm_n they_o have_v a_o prophetical_a spirit_n and_o those_o place_n that_o you_o read_v that_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o curse_v they_o be_v rather_o prophetical_a prediction_n of_o evil_a than_o direful_a

answer_v that_o those_o which_o be_v endue_v with_o such_o a_o prophetical_a spirit_n they_o do_v know_v who_o be_v
they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o god_n do_v converse_v with_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o man_n do_v with_o the_o word_n of_o man_n that_o be_v the_o three_o rule_n four_o take_v heed_n thou_o be_v not_o deceive_v because_o that_o those_o thought_n thou_o have_v in_o prayer_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v very_o evil_a in_o themselves_o this_o be_v a_o great_a deceit_n and_o hinder_v many_o in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o prayer_n there_o be_v sometime_o dart_v in_o some_o vain_a thought_n now_o because_o the_o thought_n have_v no_o great_a evil_n in_o itself_o therefore_o they_o think_v they_o may_v play_v with_o it_o and_o their_o heart_n close_o with_o it_o and_o so_o run_v along_o with_o it_o as_o the_o fish_n do_v with_o the_o bait_n if_o the_o devil_n cast_v in_o a_o thought_n of_o blasphemy_n that_o make_v thou_o quake_v and_o shake_v but_o if_o thy_o thought_n have_v no_o great_a evil_n in_o they_o but_o they_o be_v slight_a thing_n matter_n of_o no_o moment_n one_o way_n or_o other_o upon_o that_o thy_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v dandle_v and_o play_v with_o they_o therefore_o remember_v this_o rule_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n whatsoever_o thought_n be_v in_o thy_o mind_n that_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o present_a duty_n they_o be_v sinful_a before_o god_n though_o the_o thought_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o thou_o be_v to_o abandon_v they_o as_o sinful_a at_o that_o time_n therefore_o never_o be_v deceive_v with_o this_o that_o the_o thought_n be_v not_o very_o sinful_a that_o be_v another_o rule_n in_o the_o last_o place_n observe_v this_o rule_n if_o ever_o god_n have_v help_v thou_o at_o any_o time_n in_o prayer_n that_o thy_o heart_n have_v be_v keep_v close_o to_o a_o duty_n and_o thou_o have_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o bless_v god_n for_o that_o bless_v god_n for_o that_o help_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o very_o great_a use_n for_o we_o to_o get_v further_a assistance_n from_o god_n in_o any_o thing_n if_o so_o be_v our_o heart_n be_v enlarge_v to_o bless_v god_n for_o any_o assistance_n we_o have_v have_v heretofore_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o gain_v and_o prosper_v so_o little_a in_o our_o christian_a course_n it_o be_v because_o we_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o to_o give_v god_n glory_n for_o mercy_n former_o receive_v and_o therefore_o god_n take_v little_a or_o no_o delight_n in_o come_v in_o with_o further_a mercy_n to_o we_o as_o if_o you_o have_v a_o young_a nursery_n of_o tree_n and_o they_o begin_v to_o thrive_v very_o well_o but_o there_o come_v a_o company_n of_o caterpillar_n and_o spoil_n almost_o all_o the_o young_a tree_n that_o be_v set_v only_o two_o or_o

when_o so_o many_o other_o be_v spoil_v and_o so_o do_v thou_o view_v thy_o prayer_n and_o consider_v how_o many_o nigh_o have_v be_v spoil_v as_o it_o be_v by_o these_o caterpillar_n for_o i_o compare_v wander_v vain_a thought_n in_o prayer_n unto_o caterpillar_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o tree_n and_o we_o see_v that_o if_o stormy_a rainy_a weather_n come_v the_o caterpillar_n will_v fall_v and_o one_o will_v think_v that_o these_o bluster_a storm_n and_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v out_o against_o we_o shall_v have_v cleanse_v our_o thought_n and_o soul_n from_o these_o caterpillar_n that_o have_v be_v upon_o our_o duty_n but_o many_o duty_n have_v be_v spoil_v yet_o thou_o may_v say_v that_o through_o god_n mercy_n such_o a_o morning_n in_o my_o closet_n the_o
