when_o with_o one_o hand_n the_o lord_n shall_v hold_v they_o up_o in_o hell_n and_o lift_v up_o the_o other_o as_o high_a as_o heaven_n to_o give_v they_o redouble_v stroke_n of_o everlasting_a

no_o such_o concernment_n to_o be_v present_a in_o it_o as_o he_o have_v to_o be_v present_a in_o heaven_n and_o in_o hell_n now_o say_v the_o psalmist_n verse_n 9_o if_o i_o take_v the_o wing_n of_o

a_o elegant_a metaphor_n and_o by_o they_o we_o may_v conjecture_v be_v mean_v the_o sunbeam_n call_v wing_n because_o of_o their_o swift_a and_o speedy_a motion_n make_v their_o passage_n so_o

and_o then_o practical_o observe_v this_o method_n i_o shall_v 1._o lay_v down_o some_o position_n 2._o demonstrate_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o by_o some_o cogent_n and_o convince_a argument_n 3._o

be_v this_o 1._o position_n 1._o that_o god_n be_v intimate_o and_o essential_o in_o all_o part_n and_o place_n of_o the_o world_n yea_o this_o presence_n be_v essential_a be_v also_o necessary_a so_o that_o it_o be_v simple_o impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v wheresoever_o the_o creature_n be_v by_o the_o world_n i_o mean_v whatsoever_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n create_v by_o the_o

brief_o to_o be_v touch_v upon_o here_o first_o that_o god_n be_v intimate_o present_a with_o the_o creature_n he_o pass_v through_o their_o very_a being_n and_o inward_a part_n he_o be_v in_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o their_o essence_n and_o this_o flow_v from_o the_o spirituality_n of_o his_o essence_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v exclude_v out_o of_o the_o most_o close_o compact_v be_v body_n can_v thus_o enter_v one_o another_o because_o of_o their_o gross_a and_o material_a substance_n they_o can_v only_o stand_v without_o and_o

but_o only_o fill_v up_o those_o cavern_n and_o hollow_a pore_n that_o be_v before_o fill_v with_o air._n the_o air_n we_o breath_n in_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o body_n but_o only_o into_o those_o pore_n and_o hollow_a recess_n that_o be_v by_o nature_n fit_v to_o receive_v it_o so_o of_o all_o other_o corporeal_a being_n but_o spirit_n be_v not_o tie_v up_o to_o this_o law_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n because_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n reside_v not_o only_o in_o the_o empty_a void_a space_n of_o the_o body_n but_o also_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o most_o solid_a and_o substantial_a part_n of_o it_o angel_n who_o be_v a_o degree_n of_o spiritual_a being_n above_o the_o soul_n they_o can_v be_v exclude_v from_o be_v present_a in_o the_o most_o condense_a body_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o often_o they_o be_v in_o we_o we_o know_v not_o how_o often_o they_o pass_v through_o we_o nor_o how_o many_o of_o they_o be_v now_o present_a with_o we_o we_o read_v of_o no_o less_o than_o a_o legion_n which_o be_v six_o thousand_o that_o quarter_v themselves_o together_o in_o one_o possess_v person_n mark_v 5.9_o then_o certain_o god_n between_o who_o and_o the_o angel_n

second_o god_n be_v not_o only_o intimate_o present_a with_o his_o creature_n because_o as_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n he_o pass_v through_o the_o most_o inmost_a part_n of_o they_o

find_v i_o god_n stop_v his_o ear_n against_o their_o prayer_n who_o stop_v their_o ear_n against_o his_o law_n so_o you_o find_v it_o 28.9_o prov._n 28.9_o prov._n 28.9_o he_o that_o turn_v away_o

a_o lazy_a prayer_n that_o scarce_o drop_v out_o of_o your_o lip_n shall_v have_v strength_n and_o vigour_n enough_o to_o reach_v heaven_n and_o to_o pierce_v through_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n if_o you_o expect_v to_o shoot_v up_o a_o prayer_n to_o heaven_n you_o must_v draw_v it_o from_o a_o soul_n full_o bend_v three_o patience_n 3._o we_o must_v pray_v with_o patience_n we_o must_v come_v to_o god_n with_o resolution_n to_o wait_v for_o a_o answer_n we_o must_v not_o give_v over_o prayer_n because_o god_n do_v not_o present_o bestow_v a_o mercy_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o desire_v this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o lose_v the_o mercy_n itself_o but_o to_o lose_v our_o prayer_n also_o god_n be_v a_o great_a god_n and_o king_n above_o all_o god_n and_o it_o be_v but_o his_o due_a state_n to_o be_v wait_v long_o upon_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a he_o that_o believe_v make_v not_o haste_n certain_o if_o we_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v infinite_o wise_a to_o know_v the_o best_a season_n to_o give_v we_o what_o we_o crave_v both_o for_o his_o advantage_n and_o for_o we_o also_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o haste_n in_o our_o suit_n or_o peevish_a because_o we_o be_v not_o straight_o answer_v but_o patient_o wait_v god_n leisure_n as_o know_v that_o god_n have_v read_v our_o petition_n and_o will_v grant_v they_o when_o he_o see_v the_o fit_a time_n lust_n 4._o we_o

apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n why_o of_o so_o many_o prayer_n that_o be_v put_v up_o to_o god_n so_o few_o prove_v successful_a 4.2_o jam._n 4.2_o james_n 4.2_o you_o ask_v and_o you_o receive_v

wealth_n or_o health_n or_o the_o like_a with_o reference_n to_o the_o gratify_n of_o our_o own_o carnal_a and_o corrupt_a desire_n therefore_o in_o james_n 4.4_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n such_o man_n be_v indeed_o like_o adulteress_n in_o this_o as_o they_o ask_v their_o husband_n those_o thing_n many_o time_n that_o they_o bestow_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o love_v better_o so_o wicked_a man_n do_v many_o time_n ask_v those_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n that_o they_o intend_v to_o spend_v upon_o their_o lust_n that_o they_o love_v better_a than_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o god_n who_o know_v their_o secret_a thought_n and_o intent_n deny_v they_o five_o prayer_n 5._o we_o must_v put_v some_o stress_n upon_o
