A52042 Meroz curse for not helping the Lord against the mightie being the substance of a sermon, preached on a day of humiliation, at St. Sepulchers, London, Decemb. 2. 1641 / by that powerfull and Godly divine, Mr. Stephen Marshall ; published in one sheet of paper, (not by the author) but by a lover of the truth, for their good especially, that are not able to buy bigger bookes ; being a very seasonable subject, wherein all that either out of policie or sloth, rfuse to helpe the Lord, may see their danger, and they that are willing are called, and directions given to them both what manner of persons they ought to be, and what they ought to doe to help the Lord ; wherein also every true Christian may see, that though they be never so weake or poore, yet they may, and ought to helpe the Lord, and by what meanes. Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655. 1641 (1641) Wing M761A; ESTC R12794 6,603 9

prevail_v with_o god_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v prayer_n that_o bring_v all_o god_n promise_n into_o performance_n there_o be_v not_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o a_o christian_n can_v reach_v it_o by_o prayer_n there_o be_v not_o a_o blessing_n in_o heaven_n but_o prayer_n can_v fetch_v it_o down_o prayer_n can_v knock_v down_o enemy_n when_o moses_n hold_v up_o his_o hand_n israel_n prevail_v david_n by_o prayer_n choke_v achitophel_n hester_n 11_o and_o her_o people_n by_o prayer_n hang_v haman_n so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v of_o prayer_n as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o those_o worthy_n there_o mention_v the_o time_n will_v be_v too_o short_a to_o reckon_v up_o all_o that_o a_o christian_n can_v do_v by_o prayer_n and_o yet_o alas_o i_o fear_v i_o there_o be_v some_o christian_n who_o have_v grace_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o have_v not_o employ_v this_o their_o talon_n for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n who_o conscience_n will_v witness_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o have_v not_o spend_v a_o hour_n in_o their_o closet_n in_o exercise_v this_o talon_n for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n o_o be_v humble_v this_o day_n for_o this_o your selfe-love_n and_o want_v of_o love_n to_o god_n church_n and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o want_n of_o this_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o enemy_n prevail_v so_o in_o ireland_n at_o this_o time_n and_o that_o thing_n go_v on_o so_o heavy_o at_o parliament_n here_o at_o home_n wherefore_o you_o that_o fear_v god_n i_o beseech_v you_o be_v humble_v for_o your_o omission_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o be_v exhort_v to_o set_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o o_o pray_v pray_v for_o the_o parliament_n o_o pray_v pray_v for_o ireland_n and_o call_v upon_o other_o to_o pray_v there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o mean_a in_o his_o estate_n or_o weak_a in_o his_o body_n but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a he_o may_v contribute_v something_o towards_o this_o great_a work_n though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o lend_v a_o penny_n yet_o he_o may_v give_v a_o subsidy_n of_o prayer_n belove_a if_o all_o christian_n will_v exercise_v this_o talon_n aright_o their_o prayer_n will_v be_v as_o a_o thunder_a army_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n church_n but_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o exercise_v this_o talon_n aright_o quest_n answ._n first_o be_v sure_a that_o prayer_n be_v prayer_n let_v it_o not_o only_o be_v in_o speech_n but_o pour_v out_o thy_o desire_n before_o god_n and_o to_o this_o end_n get_v a_o heart_n true_o affect_v with_o the_o thing_n thou_o pray_v for_o labour_n to_o get_v a_o humble_a and_o self-denying_a spirit_n remember_v abraham_n when_o he_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n confess_v he_o be_v but_o dust_n 17._o and_o ash_n and_o icob_n when_o he_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n confess_v himself_o unworthy_a of_o the_o least_o of_o all_o god_n mercy_n and_o david_n cry_v out_o hear_v i_o o_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o peore_o 10._o always_o when_o thou_o go_v to_o prayer_n be_v sure_a to_o carry_v thy_o mediator_n along_o with_o thou_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o beg_v earnest_o for_o the_o 3._o lord_n sake_n as_o daniel_n do_v that_o so_o thy_o prayer_n may_v be_v fervent_a o_o beloved_a christian_n if_o you_o will_v pray_v and_o pray_v thus_o you_o will_v be_v the_o 17._o most_o useful_a people_n in_o all_o the_o world_n yea_o you_o will_v be_v the_o very_a prop_n to_o these_o unite_a kingdom_n mark_v it_o than_o you_o man_n of_o the_o world_n you_o son_n of_o belial_n that_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o scoff_n at_o pray_v christian_n and_o to_o wish_v they_o all_o pack_v hence_o and_o at_o new_a england_n alas_o you_o know_v not_o what_o a_o evil_a you_o wish_v unto_o yourselves_o therein_o if_o they_o be_v go_v woe_n be_v to_o you_o and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o talon_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o outward_a ability_n soever_o thou_o have_v thou_o must_v also_o employ_v for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o rich_a man_n if_o he_o pray_v and_o hold_v his_o purse_n he_o can_v expect_v that_o his_o prayer_n shall_v be_v available_a wherefore_o if_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o both_o grace_n and_o money_n i_o do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n beseech_v thou_o to_o employ_v both_o for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n and_o people_n else_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v it_o may_v be_v as_o true_o say_v to_o thou_o as_o the_o poor_a man_n say_v to_o the_o bishop_n who_o ask_v he_o a_o penny_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n the_o bishop_n answer_v i_o will_v not_o give_v thou_o a_o penny_n but_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o my_o blessing_n the_o poor_a man_n answer_v ah_o master_n if_o you_o love_v your_o blessing_n as_o well_o as_o your_o penny_n you_o will_v not_o give_v i_o that_o neither_o wherefore_o then_o to_o conclude_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o that_o may_v do_v the_o church_n good_a be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o for_o the_o church_n good_a finis_fw-la 1._o 2._o doctr._n doctr._n 2._o doctr._n
