name_n there_o be_v one_o notable_a scripture_n in_o jer._n 8._o 2._o that_o show_v how_o much_o strength_n the_o idolater_n put_v forth_o in_o the_o worship_v of_o their_o idol_n they_o will_v not_o

6_o the_o six_o be_v if_o thou_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o worship_n there_o must_v be_v a_o humble_a frame_n of_o spirit_n worship_v he_o with_o much_o humility_n of_o soul_n abraham_n do_v

again_o it_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n than_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v humble_v himself_o to_o

god_n shall_v not_o only_o behold_v i_o before_o he_o but_o invite_v i_o to_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n what_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n be_v this_o 2_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v take_v off_o from_o the_o thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o all_o excellency_n in_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o come_v in_o the_o pride_n of_o our_o heart_n because_o we_o have_v ability_n more_o than_o

be_v natural_a in_o any_o of_o our_o duty_n be_v nothing_o to_o god_n only_o that_o which_o be_v from_o his_o own_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o thou_o shall_v come_v in_o thy_o own_o thought_n as_o

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

be_v the_o implacable_a enemy_n of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v not_o as_o david_n pray_v against_o judas_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v by_o a_o prophetical_a spirit_n he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o perdition_n indeed_o if_o we_o can_v certain_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o castaway_n eternal_o from_o god_n it_o be_v another_o matter_n as_o the_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o julian_n because_o of_o his_o apostasy_n be_v so_o abominable_a it_o be_v determine_v almost_o general_o by_o they_o that_o he_o have_v commit_v the_o sin_n

but_o this_o be_v no_o example_n for_o we_o in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n to_o wish_v evil_a and_o curse_n upon_o other_o but_o thus_o far_o we_o may_v do_v with_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n first_o we_o may_v curse_v they_o disjunctive_o lord_n either_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n or_o keep_v they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o do_v such_o mischief_n in_o the_o church_n or_o thus_o conditional_o if_o thou_o see_v lord_n that_o they_o be_v implacable_a thou_o know_v they_o if_o so_o let_v thy_o wrath_n and_o curse_n pursue_v they_o lord_n thou_o see_v what_o evil_a they_o be_v set_v upon_o and_o therefore_o rather_o than_o they_o shall_v attain_v their_o mischievous_a design_n let_v thy_o wrath_n and_o curse_n pursue_v they_o so_o we_o may_v do_v it_o but_o not_o absolute_o to_o curse_v any_o though_o they_o shall_v do_v we_o never_o so_o much_o wrong_v we_o be_v call_v to_o blessing_n but_o now_o in_o zeal_n to_o god_n take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v on_o in_o our_o own_o passion_n but_o be_v sure_o it_o be_v in_o a_o zeal_n to_o god_n we_o may_v wish_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n to_o pursue_v those_o that_o god_n know_v to_o be_v implacable_a this_o be_v but_o a_o appeal_n to_o god_n and_o not_o at_o all_o fasten_n it_o upon_o any_o particular_a person_n that_o we_o know_v but_o leave_v it_o unto_o god_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o so_o in_o a_o zeal_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o may_v do_v it_o and_o we_o be_v warrant_v so_o to_o do_v by_o the_o second_o petition_n thy_o kingdom_n come_v for_o that_o petition_n that_o

belong_v to_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n so_o especial_o in_o prayer_n to_o know_v what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o think_v to_o put_v off_o god_n with_o a_o mere_a empty_a

in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o general_a we_o shall_v apply_v it_o now_o particular_o to_o prayer_n the_o give_v up_o not_o only_o out_o understanding_n but_o will_n thought_n affection_n

the_o evil_a of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o in_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o thought_n both_o in_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v their_o great_a burden_n

that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n be_v their_o wander_a in_o prayer_n so_o
that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o speak_v unto_o solomon_n and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o

there_o be_v so_o much_o vanity_n of_o thought_n or_o at_o least_o so_o much_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o be_v first_o because_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o corruption_n in_o young_a convert_n like_o a_o spark_n of_o fire_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ash_n now_o if_o there_o lie_v a_o heap_n of_o ash_n and_o nothing_o else_o ●ou_o do_v not_o stir_v they_o but_o if_o there_o be_v ash_n and_o some_o fire_n than_o you_o will_v stir_v they_o and_o be_v blow_v those_o spark_n to_o kindle_v another_o fire_n by_o now_o when_o you_o come_v to_o make_v any_o motion_n than_o the_o ash_n will_v fly_v about_o whereas_o before_o they_o lie_v still_o so_o it_o be_v here_o before_o god_n wrought_v upon_o thy_o heart_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o ash_n upon_o thy_o soul_n and_o then_o they_o lie_v still_o but_o now_o god_n have_v kindle_v some_o spark_n of_o grace_n in_o thy_o heart_n and_o god_n be_v blow_v they_o up_o to_o a_o great_a heat_n and_o be_v bring_v of_o they_o to_o a_o flame_n upon_o this_o motion_n that_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n and_o the_o stir_v to_o kindle_v those_o spark_n further_o in_o thy_o heart_n it_o be_v that_o the_o ash_n of_o thy_o corruption_n do_v as_o it_o be_v fly_v about_o thy_o ear_n and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o stir_n of_o corruption_n more_o than_o there_o be_v before_o it_o be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v more_o corruption_n than_o there_o be_v former_o but_o before_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o corruption_n it_o lay_v still_o and_o now_o because_o there_o be_v something_o else_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o corruption_n do_v so_o stir_v and_o beside_o you_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o keep_v lewd_a company_n if_o god_n turn_v he_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v that_o company_n no_o more_o at_o first_o he_o shall_v be_v more_o trouble_v with_o they_o than_o he_o be_v before_o and_o they_o will_v keep_v often_o

the_o present_n will_v be_v more_o importunate_a active_a and_o stir_v than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o beside_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o to_o humble_v thy_o heart_n the_o more_o that_o thereby_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o see_v the_o great_a corruption_n that_o be_v in_o thy_o soul_n before_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o corruption_n will_v discover_v much_o evil_n in_o thy_o heart_n that_o thou_o do_v not_o think_v be_v there_o before_o when_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n lie_v still_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o their_o soul_n as_o your_o civil_a man_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o bless_v themselves_o and_o think_v they_o be_v in_o a_o good_a condition_n it_o be_v because_o their_o corruption_n lie_v still_o in_o they_o and_o do_v not_o

natural_o and_o so_o all_o unregenerate_a man_n they_o will_v think_v you_o speak_v strange_a riddle_n whereas_o they_o bless_v themselves_o they_o bless_v god_n they_o know_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o their_o heart_n not_o yes_n there_o be_v such_o thing_n only_o they_o be_v not_o stir_v but_o they_o lie_v quiet_a as_o mud_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o a_o pond_n there_o it_o be_v yet_o you_o can_v see_v it_o till_o it_o be_v stir_v at_o first_o conversion_n i_o say_v the_o lord_n suffer_v thy_o corruption_n thus_o to_o stir_v that_o he_o may_v discover_v to_o thou_o what_o a_o evil_a heart_n thou_o have_v what_o abundance_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n and_o therefore_o your_o young_a convert_n they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o more_o loathsome_a and_o vile_a then_o ever_o they_o think_v they_o have_v be_v and_o beside_o the_o devil_n see_v it_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o tempt_v a_o young_a convert_n to_o any_o gross_a act_n of_o sin_n when_o conscience_n have_v life_n and_o power_n in_o it_o he●_n shall_v never_o prevail_v that_o way_n but_o now_o he_o think_v he_o may_v prevail_v to_o disturb_v they_o with_o vain_a thought_n and_o therefore_o he_o lay_v his_o

of_o their_o soul_n notwithstanding_o much_o vanity_n of_o thought_n the_o lord_n will_v accept_v of_o any_o desire_n that_o they_o have_v to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o these_o three_o or_o four_o rule_n to_o help_v you_o against_o these_o wander_a and_o vain_a thought_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o especial_o in_o prayer_n first_o when_o thou_o go_v to_o prayer_n account_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a work_n set_v a_o high_a price_n upon_o thy_o prayer_n not_o as_o have_v any_o excellency_n in_o it_o as_o it_o come_v from_o thou_o but_o set_v a_o

thou_o give_v a_o answer_n i_o can_v stand_v parly_v with_o these_o thing_n the_o work_n that_o i_o be_o about_o be_v a_o great_a work_n there_o be_v very_o few_o people_n that_o do_v account_v the_o
