all_o thing_n we_o pray_v for_o if_o a_o man_n come_v to_o sue_v to_o any_o man_n who_o mind_n he_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o love_v he_o or_o not_o he_o will_v have_v small_a hope_n or_o expectation_n of_o have_v his_o suit_n grant_v though_o he_o come_v again_o and_o again_o but_o if_o he_o be_v assure_v he_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o he_o according_a to_o that_o degree_n of_o favour_n he_o suppose_v himself_o to_o stand_v in_o with_o he_o he_o be_v assure_v and_o confident_a of_o obtain_v his_o request_n thing_n 2_o of_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o prayer_n which_o be_v answer_v by_o three_o thing_n 2_o discouragement_n be_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o prayer_n though_o a_o man_n think_v his_o person_n be_v accept_v yet_o alas_o say_v he_o my_o prayer_n be_v so_o poor_a and_o weak_a as_o sure_o god_n will_v never_o regard_v they_o to_o remove_v which_o let_v i_o first_o ask_v thou_o this_o question_n do_v thou_o pray_v with_o all_o thy_o might_n then_o though_o that_o thy_o might_n be_v weak_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o thy_o own_o apprehension_n such_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v all_o the_o might_n which_o thou_o have_v and_o which_o grace_n have_v in_o thou_o it_o shall_v be_v accept_v for_o god_n accept_v according_a to_o what_o a_o man_n have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o he_o have_v not_o 2_o cor._n 8._o 12._o 2._o thou_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v thou_o for_o thy_o prayer_n sake_n though_o not_o without_o they_o but_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o his_o son_n sake_n and_o because_o thou_o be_v his_o child_n as_o the_o mother_n when_o her_o child_n cry_v suppose_v it_o be_v a_o weak_a child_n do_v not_o neglect_v to_o hear_v and_o relieve_v it_o but_o tender_v it_o not_o because_o it_o do_v cry_v more_o loud_a but_o because_o it_o cry_v and_o pity_v it_o the_o more_o the_o weak_a it_o be_v 3._o again_o though_o the_o performance_n in_o itself_o be_v weak_a yet_o consider_v as_o a_o prayer_n it_o may_v be_v strong_a because_o a_o weak_a prayer_n may_v set_v the_o strong_a god_n a_o work_n as_o faith_n for_o the_o act_n of_o it_o as_o produce_v by_o we_o may_v be_v weak_a yet_o because_o its_o object_n be_v christ_n therefore_o it_o justify_v so_o it_o be_v in_o prayer_n it_o prevail_v not_o because_o of_o the_o performance_n itself_o but_o because_o of_o the_o name_n which_o it_o be_v put_v up_o in_o even_o christ_n name_n and_o therefore_o as_o a_o weak_a faith_n justify_v so_o a_o weak_a prayer_n prevail_v as_o well_o as_o a_o strong_a and_o both_o for_o the_o like_a reason_n in_o both_o for_o faith_n attribute_n all_o to_o god_n and_o so_o do_v prayer_n for_o as_o faith_n be_v mere_o a_o receive_a grace_n so_o prayer_n a_o beg_a grace_n and_o therefore_o do_v thou_o think_v thy_o prayer_n be_v accept_v at_o all_o notwithstanding_o their_o weakness_n if_o that_o they_o be_v accept_v than_o they_o must_v be_v accept_v as_o prayer_n now_o if_o they_o be_v accept_v as_o prayer_n then_o as_o effectual_a motive_n to_o prevail_v with_o god_n to_o grant_v the_o thing_n you_o ask_v for_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o accept_v they_o to_o that_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o accept_v they_o not_o at_o all_o as_o therefore_o when_o he_o approve_v of_o any_o man_n faith_n as_o true_a and_o sincere_a he_o approve_v and_o accept_v of_o it_o to_o that_o purpose_n for_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v which_o be_v to_o save_v and_o justify_v and_o to_o this_o end_n do_v as_o full_o accept_v the_o weak_a act_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o strong_a so_o be_v it_o with_o their_o prayer_n which_o be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v mercy_n from_o he_o if_o he_o accept_v they_o at_o all_o it_o be_v with_o relation_n to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o they_o which_o be_v their_o end_n 4._o man_n be_v mistake_v in_o judge_v of_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o prayer_n they_o judge_v of_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o prayer_n by_o their_o expression_n and_o gift_n in_o perform_v they_o or_o by_o the_o stir_a and_o overflow_v of_o affection_n whereas_o the_o strength_n &_o vigour_n of_o prayer_n shall_v be_v estimate_v from_o the_o faith_n the_o sincerity_n the_o obedience_n the_o desire_v express_v in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lowdnesse_n of_o a_o preacher_n voice_n but_o the_o weight_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o preacher_n that_o move_v a_o wise_a and_o a_o intelligent_a hearer_n so_o not_o gift_n but_o grace_n in_o prayer_n be_v they_o that_o move_v the_o lord_n the_o strength_n of_o prayer_n lie_v not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o that_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o prevail_v with_o god_n one_o prayer_n be_v not_o more_o strong_a than_o another_o further_o than_o it_o be_v so_o frame_v as_o it_o have_v power_n with_o god_n more_o or_o less_o as_o of_o jacob_n it_o be_v say_v he_o have_v power_n with_o god_n hos_n 12._o now_o prayer_n move_v god_n not_o as_o a_o orator_n move_v his_o hearer_n but_o as_o a_o child_n move_v his_o father_n two_o word_n of_o a_o child_n humble_v and_o cry_v at_o his_o father_n foot_n will_v prevail_v more_o then_o pen_a oration_n rom._n 8._o it_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o god_n look_v unto_o more_o than_o the_o expression_n for_o the_o groan_n there_o be_v say_v to_o be_v unutterable_a hezechiahs_n expression_n be_v so_o rude_a and_o break_a that_o he_o say_v esay_n 38._o 14._o that_o he_o do_v but_o chatter_v he_o be_v then_o sick_a even_o as_o a_o crane_n yet_o god_n hear_v they_o thing_n 3._o so_o often_o fail_n of_o answer_n answer_v by_o four_o thing_n a_o three_o discouragement_n be_v fayling_n of_o answer_n i_o have_v pray_v often_o and_o long_o and_o i_o have_v be_v seldom_o or_o never_o answer_v and_o therefore_o i_o make_v little_a account_n of_o my_o prayer_n that_o they_o be_v hear_v other_o have_v the_o revenue_n of_o their_o prayer_n come_v in_o but_o i_o do_v miss_v whatsoever_o almost_o i_o stand_v for_o therefore_o say_v they_o as_o those_o why_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o thou_o regard_v it_o not_o isay_n 58._o 3._o to_o remove_v this_o consider_v 1._o that_o thou_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o wait_v for_o thou_o have_v the_o more_o answer_n to_o come_v for_o as_o wicked_a man_n treasure_n up_o wrath_n so_o do_v godly_a man_n mercy_n and_o especial_o by_o their_o prayer_n &_o therefore_o mercy_n and_o answer_n do_v often_o come_v thick_a together_o even_o as_o affliction_n also_o do_v suppose_v thou_o shall_v have_v few_o answer_n concern_v the_o thing_n thou_o seek_v for_o here_o either_o in_o pray_v for_o thyself_o or_o other_o yet_o thy_o reward_n be_v with_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v in_o pray_v as_o in_o preach_v a_o man_n may_v preach_v faithful_o many_o a_o year_n and_o yet_o not_o convert_v a_o soul_n and_o yet_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o give_v over_o wait_v but_o to_o observe_v after_o every_o sermon_n what_o good_a be_v do_v and_o whether_o god_n will_v give_v man_n repentance_n as_o it_o be_v 2_o tim._n 2._o 25._o and_o if_o none_o be_v convert_v yet_o as_o esay_n 49._o 4._o a_o man_n reward_n be_v with_o the_o lord_n
