be_v those_o which_o he_o urge_v here_o confession_n and_o repentance_n on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o sick_a man_n and_o then_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o elder_n on_o his_o behalf_n which_o will_v certain_o prevail_v for_o his_o recovery_n no_o less_o than_o in_o any_o other_o case_n if_o it_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n mention_v before_o but_o if_o the_o prayer_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v

of_o the_o sick_a person_n if_o it_o shall_v seem_v good_a to_o god_n then_o this_o exhortation_n may_v well_o be_v conceive_v to_o run_v thus_o but_o whether_o the_o elder_n be_v instruct_v by_o

loc_n est_fw-la in_o loc_n as_o estius_n do_v in_o particular_a and_o that_o upon_o no_o other_o ground_n but_o because_o health_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v often_o refer_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o

ground_v upon_o the_o general_a promise_n of_o god_n only_o but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n be_v still_o mean_v because_o of_o the_o instance_n of_o elias_n his_o prayer_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v present_o illustrate_v his_o meaning_n and_o to_o this_o notion_n the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o we_o translate_v effectual_a fervent_a be_v very_o favourable_a because_o it_o apt_o signify_v that_o incitation_n and_o impulse_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o operate_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n but_o although_o this_o sense_n appear_v reasonable_a i_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o it_o if_o equal_a reason_n can_v be_v give_v for_o another_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o my_o purpose_n to_o observe_v that_o although_o the_o prevalency_n of_o a_o good_a man_n prayer_n be_v here_o affirm_v in_o general_a term_n and_o though_o without_o all_o question_n such_o a_o man_n earnest_a prayer_n be_v very_o forcible_a for_o the_o obtain_n of_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o be_v the_o best_a force_n they_o have_v yet_o the_o case_n of_o which_o he_o speak_v just_a before_o that_o you_o may_v be_v heal_v limit_n his_o meaning_n of_o that_o power_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o here_o to_o that_o of_o produce_v temporal_a effect_n which_o limitation_n be_v require_v no_o less_o by_o that_o which_o follow_v 3._o elias_n be_v a_o man_n subject_n to_o like_a passion_n as_o we_o be_v and_o he_o pray_v earnest_o that_o it_o may_v not_o rain_v and_o it_o rain_v not_o on_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o space_n of_o three_o year_n and_o three_o month_n and_o he_o pray_v again_o and_o the_o heaven_n give_v rain_n and_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o her_o fruit_n now_o that_o both_o in_o the_o one_o case_n and_o in_o the_o other_o the_o prayer_n of_o elias_n be_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o sense_n so_o often_o already_o mention_v can_v just_o be_v question_v for_o as_o we_o know_v from_o st._n james_n that_o he_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v not_o rain_v and_o again_o that_o it_o may_v rain_v so_o we_o know_v by_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a

evident_a that_o this_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o power_n of_o prayer_n to_o produce_v temporal_a effect_n of_o a_o surprise_a and_o wonderful_a nature_n which_o make_v the_o instance_n pertinent_a to_o what_o he_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o before_o nor_o be_v it_o incongruous_a to_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o withhold_n of_o rain_n for_o so_o long_a time_n upon_o elias_n his_o prayer_n do_v in_o part_n answer_v the_o case_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v smite_v with_o sickness_n for_o his_o transgression_n so_o the_o send_n of_o rain_n upon_o the_o prayer_n of_o elias_n do_v full_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o the_o sick_a man_n recovery_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n and_o now_o i_o may_v appeal_v to_o the_o judicious_a reader_n whether_o our_o adversary_n make_v st._n james_n unction_n to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o the_o immediate_a benefit_n of_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o imply_v it_o to_o be_v bring_v in_o without_o any_o coherence_n or_o

to_o this_o purpose_n be_v very_o true_a but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text._n their_o fault_n be_v that_o they_o introduce_v it_o in_o the_o wrong_a place_n but_o if_o they_o

than_o the_o cast_n out_o of_o devil_n for_o they_o use_v nothing_o but_o the_o know_a ceremony_n betoken_v a_o extraordinary_a work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o cure_v they_o wrought_v that_o be_v

do_v not_o at_o first_o express_v it_o as_o the_o other_o two_o evangelist_n do_v final_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v the_o use_n of_o this_o ceremony_n but_o it_o be_v

confute_v perhaps_o it_o may_v not_o be_v unreasonable_o suppose_v that_o they_o receive_v some_o general_a direction_n from_o our_o saviour_n that_o in_o exert_v the_o gift_n which_o he_o have_v
