these_o argument_n we_o have_v hear_v now_o in_o this_o text_n the_o lord_n go_v forward_o in_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o he_o give_v the_o four_o reason_n wherefore_o they_o shall_v abide_v in_o

jesus_n abide_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o word_n and_o by_o faith_n so_o all_o be_v alike_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o argument_n what_o ever_o shall_v be_v your_o desire_n ask_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o that_o be_v if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o all_o your_o petition_n shall_v be_v grant_v this_o argument_n be_v very_o allure_a to_o tell_v a_o man_n what_o ever_o he_o desire_v he_o

shall_v perceive_v a_o great_a affection_n in_o the_o son_n to_o the_o father_n these_o word_n rise_v on_o two_o motive_n the_o one_o be_v love_n that_o be_v a_o affection_n which_o the_o son_n bear_v to_o the_o father_n when_o he_o call_v he_o father_n he_o utter_v that_o wonderful_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v to_o the_o father_n and_o then_o the_o other_o rise_v on_o a_o great_a reverence_n that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n bare_a to_o his_o father_n when_o
he_o call_v he_o holy_a for_o as_o he_o love_v he_o so_o he_o reverence_v he_o holiness_n crave_v reverence_n and_o that_o holy_a god_n what_o reverence_n ought_v he_o to_o have_v he_o shall_v not_o

of_o the_o most_o forcibl_a to_o move_v the_o father_n the_o inward_a disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o love_n and_o reverence_n be_v most_o forcible_a to_o move_v the_o

to_o heap_v on_o argument_n to_o move_v god_n if_o thou_o have_v no_o good_a disposition_n in_o thy_o heart_n in_o prayer_n wherefore_o use_v thou_o word_n when_o thou_o have_v a_o unbelieved_n

with_o a_o holy_a affection_n to_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o reverence_n and_o with_o a_o confidence_n in_o he_o than_o few_o word_n and_o few_o argument_n will_v serve_v it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v few_o word_n in_o pray_v with_o love_n and_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o holy_a disposition_n than_o to_o pray_v all_o the_o day_n without_o the_o inward_a disposition_n james_n say_v chap._n 5._o vers_fw-la 16._o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o faithful_a man_n avail_v much_o if_o it_o be_v servant_n he_o say_v not_o if_o he_o use_v many_o reason_n or_o word_n but_o if_o he_o have_v

account_v more_o of_o it_o than_o of_o all_o the_o world_n so_o you_o see_v this_o disposition_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o chief_a argument_n to_o move_v the_o father_n he_o have_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o his_o heart_n be_v clean_o and_o his_o love_n be_v perfect_a without_o any_o mixture_n of_o hatred_n or_o any_o other_o sinful_a infirmity_n all_o our_o affection_n our_o

the_o answer_n be_v easy_a look_v the_o word_n he_o say_v that_o thy_o love_n may_v be_v in_o they_o it_o be_v true_a from_o all_o eternity_n ere_o ever_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n i_o speak_v of_o

again_o brethren_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v never_o in_o we_o but_o without_o we_o till_o we_o know_v he_o and_o have_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n never_o one_o
