A05061	The chariot and horsemen of Israel A discourse of prayer: shewing what it is, as also the meanes to attaine to the practise of it. An exercise so rare in the world, and yet so requisite, as few vse it aright, and none may omit it. By Henry Langley, minister of the Word of God, at Treswell in the county of Nottingham.	Langley, Henry, d. 1636.	1616 (1616)	STC 15202; ESTC S108258	40,085	136

in_o a_o diverse_a respect_n god_n in_o his_o essence_n and_o all-being_a be_v the_o object_n of_o thy_o presence_n in_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n be_v the_o object_n of_o thy_o prayer_n and_o in_o heaven_n be_v the_o object_n of_o thy_o action_n and_o gesture_n i._o for_o the_o first_o set_v thyself_o to_o prayer_n thou_o be_v to_o present_v thyself_o before_o the_o essence_n and_o all-being_a of_o god_n who_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o be_v beyond_o all_o heaven_n before_o who_o thou_o be_v to_o acknowledge_v thyself_o to_o stand_v naked_a thy_o most_o secret_a thought_n be_v manifest_a in_o his_o sight_n ii_o touch_v thy_o prayer_n thou_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n as_o to_o be_v just_a merciful_a etc._n etc._n in_o regard_n of_o which_o or_o any_o of_o which_o as_o they_o concern_v thou_o be_v consider_v as_o in_o this_o al-being_a god_n or_o god_n in_o they_o thou_o be_v to_o be_v convince_v and_o affect_v according_o iii_o and_o last_o thy_o gesture_n as_o kneel_v hold_v up_o thy_o hand_n &c_n &c_n thy_o action_n of_o speak_v sigh_a &c_n &c_n as_o also_o thy_o humble_v thyself_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o thy_o desire_n of_o what_o thou_o want_v &c_n &c_n be_v all_o to_o be_v direct_v towards_o heaven_n not_o a_o representation_n of_o god_n essence_n but_o because_o i._o there_o sit_v the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o mediator_n ii_o heaven_n be_v the_o lord_n store-house_n and_o from_o thence_o come_v every_o good_a give_v and_o every_o perfect_a gift_n iii_o and_o there_o the_o lord_n reveal_v his_o glory_n the_o child_n sit_v on_o the_o mother_n knee_n and_o look_v she_o in_o the_o face_n ask_v beer_n point_v with_o the_o finger_n to_o the_o glass_n or_o buttery_n door_n i._o the_o child_n be_v with_o the_o mother_n so_o we_o present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n in_o his_o omni-presence_n ii_o the_o child_n do_v look_v the_o mother_n in_o the_o face_n even_o so_o our_o spiritual_a eye_n behold_v god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o his_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o word_n iii_o the_o child_n make_v sign_n to_o the_o place_n where_o that_o be_v which_o he_o will_v have_v so_o do_v we_o towards_o heaven_n the_o papist_n because_o he_o will_v have_v something_o sensible_o before_o he_o to_o kneel_v look_v and_o speak_v to_o have_v invent_v image_n the_o work_n of_o the_o craftsman_n which_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o ear_n and_o hear_v not_o neither_o speak_v they_o through_o their_o throat_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v provide_v for_o we_o a_o better_a object_n even_o god-in-heaven_n and_o i._o whether_o shall_v the_o instinct_n of_o our_o renew_a nature_n lead_v we_o but_o towards_o heaven_n where_o sit_v our_o lord_n and_o head_n in_o who_o do_v rest_v our_o fullness_n ii_o whether_o shall_v our_o affection_n draw_v we_o but_o to_o that_o place_n where_o our_o inheritance_n lie_v and_o our_o good_a thing_n be_v lay_v up_o iii_o how_o can_v we_o prostrate_v ourselves_o so_o fit_o as_o towards_o heaven_n where_o the_o lord_n reveal_v that_o glory_n which_o make_v the_o very_a angel_n to_o cover_v their_o face_n here_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o many_o defect_n in_o prayer_n and_o error_n touch_v the_o conceive_v of_o god_n i._n some_o place_n he_o only_o in_o heaven_n other_o only_o in_o the_o church-top_n chamber_n or_o place_n where_o they_o pray_v ii_o some_o but_o suppose_n god_n to_o be_v before_o they_o and_o so_o pray_v to_o a_o feign_a god_n and_o so_o while_o they_o pray_v they_o do_v indeed_o but_o play_v act_v like_o interluder_n on_o a_o stage_n iii_o some_o acknowledge_a god_n his_o both_o presence_n and_o all-presence_n conceive_v he_o of_o many_o fashion_n all_o which_o proceed_v i._n partly_o from_o our_o ignorance_n be_v not_o right_o instruct_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n ii_o partly_o from_o our_o finitnes_n of_o capacity_n which_o must_v consider_v one_o thing_n after_o another_o and_o so_o while_o we_o be_v busy_v about_o one_o we_o forget_v another_o iii_o and_o partly_o because_o our_o nature_n can_v conceive_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v but_o conceive_v it_o of_o some_o fashion_n for_o in_o natural_a thing_n the_o form_n give_v the_o be_v esse_fw-la forma_fw-la that_o esse_fw-la whence_o it_o come_v that_o we_o be_v ever_o clothing_n the_o deity_n with_o some_o shape_n or_o other_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v help_v i._o by_o instruction_n to_o learn_v aright_o ii_o by_o meditation_n aforehand_o to_o conceive_v aright_o iii_o by_o raise_v up_o ourselves_o in_o prayer_n from_o these_o low_a earthly_a conceit_n so_o oft_o as_o they_o do_v offer_v themselves_o to_o the_o true_a and_o right_a consideration_n speak_v of_o before_o §._o 7._o how_o to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n quest_n 2_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v in_o the_o second_o place_n how_o we_o be_v to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n whether_o to_o the_o father_n son_n or_o holy_a ghost_n answ_n i_o answer_v the_o lord_n be_v one_o god_n in_o unity_n distinguish_v in_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o answerable_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o do_v be_v to_o be_v consider_v i._n simple_o as_o a_o act_n ii_o respective_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o do_v as_o to_o insist_v upon_o this_o duty_n in_o hand_n our_o prayer_n simple_o respect_v god_n in_o unity_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o put_v it_o up_o the_o trinity_n for_o by_o the_o gracious_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o the_o mediation_n of_o the_o well-beloved_a son_n we_o exhibit_v our_o prayer_n to_o the_o eternal_a father_n as_o in_o every_o ordinary_a petition_n put_v up_o to_o a_o man_n the_o petition_n simple_o respect_v he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v to_o be_v present_v but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o put_v it_o up_o there_o must_v be_v i._o a_o draw_v ii_o a_o present_v iii_o a_o receive_n so_o likewise_o in_o our_o prayer_n simple_o we_o put_v they_o up_o to_o god_n but_o for_o the_o manner_n i._o the_o holy_a ghost_n draw_v they_o teach_v we_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o shall_v likewise_o say_v the_o apostle_n 8.26_o apostle_n rom._n 8.26_o the_o spirit_n also_o help_v our_o infirmity_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v but_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o with_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v utter_v ii_o the_o son_n do_v perfect_a perfume_n and_o present_v they_o and_o another_o angel_n say_v john_n 8.3_o john_n reu._n 8.3_o come_v and_o stand_v at_o the_o altar_n

before_o the_o throne_n iii_o the_o father_n do_v receive_v they_o and_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o incense_n say_v john_n 8.4_o john_n reu._n 8.4_o which_o come_v with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n ascend_v up_o before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o angel_n hand_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o question_n in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o may_v direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o any_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n i._o to_o the_o father_n as_o to_o the_o ephesian_n 15._o ephesian_n ephes_n 3.14_o 15._o for_o this_o cause_n say_v the_o apostle_n

for_o every_o of_o their_o work_n do_v argue_v one_o another_o manner_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o all_o one_o matter_n in_o the_o unity_n touch_v which_o we_o may_v consider_v three_o thing_n
