the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v our_o soul_n as_o we_o do_v wry_a our_o mouth_n with_o the_o new_a bear_v babe_n after_o the_o dug_n of_o god_n word_n so_o with_o the_o

these_o six_o thing_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o 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 beg_v well_o for_o himself_o who_o do_v not_o know_v the_o particular_a want_n which_o he_o groan_v under_o so_o neither_o will_n nor_o can_v he_o pray_v that_o know_v not_o his_o spiritual_a poverty_n yea_o his_o particular_a sin_n second_o he_o must_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o complaint_n against_o sin_n for_o as_o no_o man_n will_v seek_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o that_o guest_n who_o he_o 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

never_o give_v god_n rest_n till_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o he_o and_o seal_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n and_o sanctification_n the_o pardon_n of_o

be_v say_v to_o have_v fellowship_n in_o his_o death_n i_o answer_v for_o three_o cause_n especial_o first_o because_o of_o that_o sacramental_a union_n which_o we_o haâ—e_v with_o christ_n 6._o rom._n 6._o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n baptism_n do_v seal_v unto_o we_o and_o give_v we_o interest_n in_o that_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v in_o his_o death_n for_o as_o the_o dip_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n so_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o water_n now_o do_v signify_v and_o seal_v our_o death_n and_o burial_n with_o christ_n second_o because_o what_o christ_n do_v as_o mediator_n of_o the_o church_n he_o do_v it_o not_o as_o a_o private_a person_n but_o as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o all_o his_o elect_a hence_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v call_v our_o sponsor_n or_o surety_n 7.22_o heb._n 7.22_o for_o as_o the_o debt_n which_o a_o surety_n pay_v he_o pay_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v willing_o make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n but_o for_o the_o party_n also_o for_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v so_o christ_n pay_v for_o us._n three_o because_o when_o we_o true_o turn_v from_o all_o sin_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o do_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n to_o convey_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o so_o in_o all_o distress_n we_o may_v plead_v as_o david_n 119._o psal_n 119._o i_o be_o thou_o save_v i_o for_o i_o do_v put_v my_o trust_n in_o thou_o 9.6_o esa_n 9.6_o so_o god_n do_v make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n of_o whole_a christ_n to_o convey_v he_o unto_o us._n as_o therefore_o we_o account_v to_o have_v right_a to_o that_o which_o be_v give_v we_o as_o free_o and_o as_o full_o as_o if_o we_o have_v purchase_v it_o or_o have_v it_o by_o inheritance_n even_o so_o we_o ascertain_v and_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o christ_n crucify_v with_o all_o his_o benefit_n use_v 1_o this_o therefore_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n both_o to_o procure_v the_o hatred_n and_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o first_o we_o shall_v grow_v in_o eternal_a enmity_n with_o it_o when_o we_o do_v but_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n be_v crucify_v for_o it_o but_o if_o we_o set_v ourselves_o

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

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

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

answer_v prayer_n how_o we_o may_v know_v whâ—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 whâ—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 bâ—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

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
