the_o soul_n than_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o help_v itself_o without_o the_o live_a seed_n of_o faith_n forego_v and_o fore-planted_n in_o the_o new_a creation_n of_o our_o heart_n three_o we_o learn_v from_o hence_o also_o that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v without_o faith_n our_o body_n be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v our_o dead_a soul_n grave_n 5.1_o 2_o cor._n 5.1_o if_o the_o body_n of_o god_n child_n be_v a_o earthly_a house_n or_o a_o house_n of_o mud_n wall_n as_o well_o as_o other_o than_o the_o body_n of_o natural_a man_n can_v but_o be_v loathsome_a grave_n and_o what_o shall_v dead_a man_n do_v with_o other_o dwelling_n or_o why_o shall_v we_o think_v other_o of_o dead_a man_n habitation_n for_o do_v but_o mark_v first_o the_o soul_n do_v annoy_v the_o good_a with_o many_o loathsome_a smell_n of_o sin_n and_o damp_n of_o iniquity_n as_o out_o of_o a_o grave_n as_o god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v smell_v a_o savour_n of_o rest_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o sweet_a perfume_n in_o the_o faithful_a prayer_n of_o his_o child_n so_o do_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o godly_a also_o and_o as_o sin_n make_v many_o stink_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n so_o likewise_o in_o the_o nostril_n of_o good_a man_n again_o the_o faithless_a soul_n as_o if_o it_o be_v pen_v up_o in_o a_o grave_n have_v no_o freedom_n nor_o elbowroom_n in_o the_o body_n to_o exercise_v itself_o either_o in_o natural_a or_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o natural_a thing_n it_o can_v give_v a_o power_n of_o grow_v sense_n or_o reason_n at_o its_o pleasure_n for_o how_o many_o dwarfish_a dumb_a deaf_a and_o foolish_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n how_o be_v it_o with_o all_o of_o we_o who_o can_v neither_o add_v one_o cubit_n to_o our_o stature_n nor_o m●ke_v one_o hair_n either_o black_a or_o white_a in_o spiritual_a thing_n we_o be_v dead_a as_o i_o have_v say_v last_o as_o a_o grave_n do_v make_v that_o body_n that_o be_v put_v into_o it_o to_o rot_v and_o turn_v it_o for_o the_o most_o part_n into_o its_o own_o common_a nature_n so_o the_o body_n if_o god_n do_v not_o work_v by_o the_o miracle_n of_o faith_n and_o sustain_v we_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n will_n more_o corrupt_a and_o make_v the_o blind_a soul_n more_o earthly_a sensual_a and_o devilish_a for_o as_o he_o that_o can_v work_v but_o by_o a_o bad_a instrument_n will_v be_v bring_v so_o out_o of_o square_a that_o custom_n will_v breed_v another_o nature_n never_o to_o bring_v forth_o better_a fruit_n so_o the_o soul_n be_v tie_v unto_o the_o body_n as_o to_o its_o proper_a instrument_n it_o not_o be_v elevate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n through_o custom_n and_o long_a continuance_n be_v bring_v to_o rot_v in_o bodily_a exercise_n and_o earthly_a thing_n see_v therefore_o that_o our_o body_n be_v grave_n for_o our_o natural_a dead_a soul_n oh_o that_o all_o of_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o all_o i_o say_v both_o good_a and_o bad_a that_o the_o good_a may_v be_v weary_a of_o the_o world_n see_v their_o whole_a life_n be_v but_o a_o live_n in_o golgotha_n among_o dead_a man_n grave_n and_o skull_n that_o the_o bad_a may_v content_v themselves_o with_o a_o mean_a grave_n except_o they_o have_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o comfortable_a resurrection_n that_o dead_a man_n be_v but_o possess_v with_o devil_n who_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o a_o joyful_a resurrection_n shall_v spend_v all_o his_o time_n in_o dress_v up_o and_o adorn_v his_o grave_n so_o be_v all_o dead_a man_n in_o sin_n who_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n dwelling_n in_o their_o heart_n by_o faith_n do_v yet_o spend_v all_o their_o time_n in_o provision_n for_o the_o grave_n of_o their_o body_n the_o very_a

unconuerted_a friend_n to_o wit_n as_o those_o who_o pity_v they_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o use_v all_o mean_n for_o a_o holy_a resurrection_n have_v thou_o a_o husband_n a_o wife_n a_o child_n or_o any_o friend_n or_o enemy_n that_o have_v not_o faith_n pity_v they_o mourn_v over_o they_o as_o christ_n over_o dead_a lazarus_n and_o as_o thou_o will_v mourn_v over_o thy_o dead_a friend_n pray_v to_o the_o live_a god_n that_o he_o will_v quicken_v they_o and_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o either_o bring_v their_o dead_a corpse_n to_o christ_n or_o beseech_v he_o to_o come_v to_o they_o so_o let_v we_o deal_v with_o our_o faithless_a friend_n that_o be_v let_v we_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n to_o see_v if_o yet_o christ_n will_v meet_v they_o in_o his_o own_o ordinance_n to_o raise_v they_o out_o of_o their_o stink_a grave_n of_o sin_n oh_o that_o we_o will_v never_o forget_v to_o deal_v thus_o with_o those_o to_o who_o we_o stand_v near_o in_o relation_n that_o so_o at_o the_o length_n custom_n if_o not_o conscience_n may_v prevail_v with_o we_o to_o do_v it_o unto_o other_o especial_o consider_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o it_o be_v full_a of_o discontent_n and_o misery_n to_o spend_v our_o day_n among_o dead_a man_n tomb_n come_v we_o now_o from_o this_o miserable_a estate_n of_o we_o by_o nature_n to_o our_o estate_n by_o grace_n touch_v which_o the_o first_o point_n which_o the_o text_n offer_v to_o be_v consider_v be_v this_o that_o we_o have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n in_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o christ._n this_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n which_o can_v be_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o we_o consider_v christ_n as_o a_o individual_a person_n and_o we_o as_o particular_a branch_n of_o another_o stock_n we_o have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o he_o for_o whereas_o fellowship_n betwixt_o disjoin_v person_n may_v arise_v either_o by_o work_v the_o same_o work_n in_o kind_n which_o another_o do_v operando_fw-la operando_fw-la as_o in_o corporation_n brethren_n of_o the_o same_o trade_n or_o by_o a_o coworking_a and_o partnership_n in_o the_o same_o work_n cooperando_fw-la cooperando_fw-la as_o

david_n have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o murder_n of_o vriah_n whereas_o i_o say_v we_o may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o christ_n one_o of_o these_o three_o way_n yet_o we_o neither_o be_v actual_o crucify_v nor_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nor_o consent_v to_o his_o crucify_a for_o we_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o nevertheless_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o we_o as_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n if_o we_o do_v consider_v he_o as_o set_v apart_o &_o seal_v of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o

better_o conceive_v it_o we_o must_v know_v that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o christ_n in_o three_o thing_n first_o in_o his_o nature_n for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n he_o become_v the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o we_o may_v become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n ●●_o 2_o pet._n ●●_o we_o want_v sonship_n &_o god_n can_v not_o give_v we_o that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o therefore_o the_o son_n of_o god_n alone_o take_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o may_v restore_v we_o to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o christ_n in_o his_o good_n for_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o that_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v we_o he_o take_v our_o curse_a rag_n of_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o have_v communicate_v we_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n thus_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n have_v make_v christ_n

other_o to_o meet_v in_o he_o first_o he_o must_v know_v his_o sin_n for_o as_o no_o man_n will_v beg_v that_o do_v not_o know_v his_o poverty_n either_o in_o truth_n or_o show_v and_o as_o no_o man_n

can_v in_o some_o respect_n or_o other_o with_o a_o free_a spirit_n complain_v against_o so_o neither_o will_v we_o seek_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o sin_n if_o we_o can_v thus_o complain_v to_o god_n against_o it_o alas_o lord_n my_o sin_n it_o be_v rebellious_a against_o thou_o against_o i_o it_o wound_v my_o conscience_n rob_v i_o of_o thy_o image_n blot_v and_o deface_v grace_n and_o make_v i_o

say_v all_o must_v first_o die_v and_o then_o come_v the_o resurrection_n to_o judgement_n so_o all_o must_v first_o die_v to_o sin_n or_o they_o shall_v never_o arise_v to_o live_v godly_o sometime_o

sin_n it_o be_v such_o a_o deadly_a adversary_n that_o we_o can_v be_v deliver_v from_o death_n in_o sin_n but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v not_o kill_v sin_n sin_n will_v kill_v

perfect_a mortification_n of_o the_o body_n against_o the_o day_n of_o the_o resurrection_n as_o therefore_o we_o do_v desire_v that_o grace_n may_v live_v so_o we_o must_v strive_v that_o this_o deadly_a enemy_n of_o grace_n may_v die_v use_v 1_o we_o have_v thus_o consider_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n may_v derive_v from_o it_o both_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o matter_n of_o

be_v to_o pray_v notwithstanding_o which_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o when_o we_o have_v say_v what_o we_o can_v it_o be_v better_a feel_v in_o the_o heart_n than_o express_v by_o the_o tongue_n prayer_n 2_o motive_n to_o watch_v unto_o prayer_n now_o for_o the_o motive_n which_o may_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o watch_v unto_o prayer_n do_v but_o consider_v these_o that_o follow_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o we_o have_v take_v in_o our_o watch_n we_o have_v take_v sin_n there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o watch_v as_o he_o shall_v but_o catch_v that_o thief_n steal_v away_o his_o heart_n from_o god_n and_o godliness_n and_o lurk_v in_o some_o part_n of_o he_o or_o other_o even_o as_o therefore_o when_o a_o man_n have_v take_v a_o thief_n commit_v burglary_n and_o steal_v away_o of_o his_o good_n he_o will_v carry_v he_o to_o the_o justice_n accuse_v he_o and_o desire_v law_n against_o he_o so_o when_o a_o man_n have_v take_v sin_n in_o the_o watch_n he_o must_v carry_v it_o before_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n accuse_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o humble_o desire_v his_o mercy_n to_o we_o his_o justice_n to_o it_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o naught_o second_o consider_v the_o great_a misery_n which_o shall_v come_v upon_o we_o when_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v come_v the_o power_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v shake_v the_o heaven_n shall_v pass_v away_o with_o a_o noise_n the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o fire_n the_o trump_n of_o god_n shall_v sound_v so_o shrill_a that_o it_o shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a all_o outward_a comfort_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o we_o the_o affection_n of_o our_o near_a and_o dear_a friend_n shall_v be_v alter_v in_o so_o much_o as_o if_o they_o see_v we_o go_v to_o hell_n they_o will_v be_v of_o god_n mind_n to_o laugh_v at_o our_o destruction_n and_o if_o they_o see_v we_o go_v to_o heaven_n all_o domestical_a respect_n shall_v cease_v for_o there_o be_v no_o marry_v nor_o give_v in_o marriage_n to_o who_o then_o shall_v we_o cleave_v in_o the_o throng_n of_o these_o misery_n but_o unto_o god_n by_o prayer_n last_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v ordinary_o entail_v his_o help_n in_o misery_n to_o prayer_n 50._o psal_n 50._o call_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o i_o will_v deliver_v thou_o god_n know_v whereof_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n and_o he_o can_v help_v we_o as_o well_o without_o we_o or_o notice_n from_o we_o if_o he_o will_v but_o he_o that_o have_v say_v ask_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v will_v not_o be_v at_o our_o right_a hand_n to_o help_v we_o except_o we_o pour_v out_o our_o soul_n in_o prayer_n but_o be_v it_o every_o prayer_n that_o will_v do_v we_o good_a in_o the_o time_n of_o misery_n no_o sure_o but_o that_o prayer_n which_o god_n in_o mercy_n do_v answer_v as_o it_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a to_o put_v up_o petition_n except_o they_o be_v grant_v so_o neither_o will_v it_o do_v we_o good_a to_o pray_v except_o god_n hear_v and_o answer_v prayer_n how_o we_o may_v know_v wh●ther_n god_n hear_v our_o prayer_n if_o now_o then_o amid_o our_o prayer_n we_o will_v be_v satisfy_v how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o god_n do_v hear_v and_o answer_v our_o prayer_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o may_v conceive_v something_o of_o god_n good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n in_o this_o kind_n by_o three_o sign_n first_o wh●n_o we_o feel_v that_o god_n give_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o thus_o he_o answer_v daniel_n 9.23_o dan._n 9.23_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o who_o supplication_n the_o commandemant_fw-fr concern_v deliverance_n from_o babel_n

forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o those_o grace_n which_o we_o sue_v for_o second_o when_o god_n give_v we_o fervent_a desire_n to_o continue_v our_o prayer_n though_o we_o do_v not_o present_o obtain_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o a_o love_n and_o desire_v to_o prayer_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o he_o do_v not_o give_v the_o mean_n but_o he_o will_v bring_v unto_o the_o end_n though_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o grant_v we_o present_o b●cause_n he_o will_v have_v we_o make_v more_o account_n of_o his_o gift_n when_o we_o do_v enjoy_v they_o yet_o if_o he_o give_v we_o a_o heart_n to_o persevere_v in_o our_o suit_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o who_o do_v work_v ordinary_o by_o mean_n will_v not_o continue_v the_o mean_n without_o a_o purpose_n in_o his_o good_a time_n to_o give_v a_o comfortable_a issue_n last_o this_o be_v also_o a_o sign_n that_o god_n answer_v our_o prayer_n when_o he_o give_v we_o faith_n and_o patience_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o holy_a mean_n of_o salvation_n god_n do_v not_o always_o hear_v to_o answer_v we_o in_o what_o we_o ask_v yet_o he_o do_v give_v we_o something_o proportionable_a as_o he_o deal_v with_o christ_n when_o he_o do_v offer_v up_o prayer_n &_o supplication_n with_o strong_a cry_n and_o tear_n to_o he_o 5.7_o hebr._n 5.7_o that_o be_v able_a to_o s●ue_v he_o from_o death_n namely_o he_o hear_v he_o in_o what_o he_o fear_v not_o by_o deliverance_n but_o by_o ability_n to_o undergo_v it_o so_o he_o deal_v with_o we_o not_o always_o by_o grant_v what_o we_o a●ke_v but_o by_o give_v something_o proportionable_a to_o it_o to_o enable_v we_o to_o wait_v and_o to_o stay_v his_o leisure_n by_o these_o and_o the_o like_a sign_n may_v we_o know_v when_o and_o whether_o god_n do_v hear_v us._n let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v they_o well_o that_o we_o do_v not_o watch_v unto_o idle_a and_o unprofitable_a prayer_n but_o such_o as_o may_v comfort_v we_o in_o these_o
