shall_v suffer_v this_o loss_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v hear_v for_o they_o as_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n pray_v for_o his_o murderer_n but_o he_o be_v hear_v only_o for_o such_o who_o do_v

that_o in_o this_o it_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n whether_o thou_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n inward_o or_o with_o a_o audible_a voice_n outward_o for_o both_o way_n prayer_n be_v perform_v wherefore_o far_o better_o be_v that_o which_o calvin_n answer_v 5._o if_o say_v he_o the_o desperate_a malice_n and_o wickedness_n of_o any_o do_v so_o plain_o appear_v as_o if_o god_n do_v with_o his_o finger_n point_n forth_o such_o a_o one_o we_o must_v not_o strive_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o if_o we_o will_v be_v more_o merciful_a than_o he_o which_o be_v also_o confirm_v by_o beza_n use_v almost_o the_o same_o word_n 5._o but_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_n point_n forth_o such_o a_o offendor_n than_o this_o place_n of_o john_n teach_v we_o what_o to_o do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n viz._n we_o must_v not_o pray_v for_o he_o so_o then_o the_o whole_a answer_n i_o suppose_v may_v be_v thus_o declare_v 1._o for_o matter_n of_o imprecation_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v all_o the_o caution_n that_o be_v before_o mention_v and_o not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v draw_v to_o that_o in_o particular_a neither_o do_v i_o hold_v it_o fit_v even_o in_o the_o urge_v of_o these_o common_a anathema_n mention_v in_o scripture_n to_o have_v any_o private_a intention_n 2._o for_o praetermit_v such_o in_o our_o prayer_n this_o precept_n may_v most_o happy_o be_v observe_v when_o the_o gift_n of_o discern_a spirit_n be_v in_o the_o church_n 3._o though_o we_o can_v absolute_o determine_v and_o conclude_v that_o such_o a_o one_o have_v sin_v thus_o desperate_o yet_o may_v we_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n for_o a_o strong_a conjecture_n which_o may_v suffice_v to_o cause_v we_o to_o pass_v over_o such_o in_o our_o particular_a prayer_n and_o to_o leave_v they_o to_o god_n neither_o be_v we_o to_o be_v blame_v though_o we_o shall_v err_v in_o this_o point_n since_o that_o our_o end_n be_v good_a and_o his_o sin_n deserve_v such_o a_o punishment_n and_o we_o can_v have_v no_o faith_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o still_o the_o first_o question_n how_o these_o may_v be_v discern_v do_v rest_n unsatisfied_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o absolute_o to_o determine_v of_o such_o a_o one_o be_v very_o difficult_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o sufficient_a mark_n but_o the_o event_n viz._n final_a impaenitency_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o suspicion_n be_v such_o as_o these_o first_o profaneness_n which_o kick_v and_o spurn_v against_o conjecture_n all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n all_o duty_n of_o holiness_n no_o grace_n no_o thanksgiving_n no_o humiliation_n not_o a_o good_a word_n but_o this_o man_n dislike_n be_v see_v yea_o such_o a_o dislike_n as_o manifest_v a_o heart_n full_o fraught_v with_o malice_n choke_v and_o damn_v up_o all_o passage_n of_o grace_n thus_o plain_o do_v he_o profess_v his_o canker_a heart_n and_o spiteful_a malice_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n second_o when_o a_o man_n rejoice_v not_o in_o any_o one_o truth_n reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n but_o rather_o do_v question_v it_o doubt_v of_o it_o yea_o to_o his_o power_n do_v impugn_v and_o resist_v it_o three_o envy_v the_o grace_n and_o happiness_n in_o which_o another_o stand_v it_o be_v a_o bad_a sign_n in_o kaen_n who_o envy_v his_o brother_n because_o the_o lord_n accept_v the_o sacrifice_n
in_o the_o gospel_n may_v further_o be_v confirm_v by_o our_o own_o observation_n viz._n that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v any_o mention_n of_o this_o sin_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o come_v with_o it_o some_o intimation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o mediator_n in_o mat._n 12._o they_o oppose_v christ_n himself_o in_o his_o miracle_n in_o heb._n 6._o paul_n instance_v in_o their_o
