that_o you_o see_v we_o must_v put_v up_o our_o request_n to_o god_n the_o three_o sermon_n we_o have_v already_o make_v some_o entrance_n upon_o the_o word_n i_o tell_v you_o what_o the_o apostle_n scope_n be_v in_o they_o which_o be_v to_o make_v know_v to_o all_o christian_n to_o who_o he_o write_v another_o great_a privilege_n beside_o that_o which_o he_o name_v before_o that_o be_v that_o

not_o need_v to_o spend_v any_o time_n in_o open_v of_o they_o but_o deliver_v you_o the_o point_n that_o lie_v so_o evident_o before_o we_o which_o be_v this_o doct._n that_o all_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n make_v upon_o earth_n be_v assure_o hear_v in_o heaven_n whatsoever_o we_o ask_v say_v he_o according_a to_o his_o will_n he_o hear_v we_o only_o the_o condition_n must_v be_v

these_o four_o condition_n first_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o heaven_n if_o they_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n and_o be_v faithful_a and_o fervent_a the_o person_n must_v be_v righteous_a that_o must_v first_o be_v remember_v because_o although_o the_o prayer_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o except_o the_o person_n be_v accept_v from_o who_o it_o come_v the_o lord_n regard_v it_o not_o you_o know_v in_o the_o old_a law_n 3._o the_o blood_n of_o swine_n be_v reckon_v a_o abominable_a sacrifice_n yet_o if_o you_o

the_o swine_n blood_n be_v not_o accept_v even_o because_o of_o the_o subject_n of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o swine_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v put_v down_o that_o it_o be_v a_o

be_v in_o such_o a_o distress_n when_o neither_o king_n nor_o queen_n can_v be_v able_a to_o help_v he_o or_o though_o they_o be_v able_a as_o she_o be_v in_o that_o case_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v

and_o be_v irksome_a unto_o he_o so_o that_o he_o earnest_o desire_v his_o father_n that_o he_o may_v be_v excuse_v that_o he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o it_o in_o this_o case_n the_o father_n will_v
