the_o clean_a it_o be_v and_o the_o often_o gold_n be_v put_v into_o the_o fining-pat_a the_o more_o pure_a and_o excellent_a it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n therefore_o be_v you_o fine_v after_o this_o manner_n that_o the_o trial_n of_o your_o faith_n be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o gold_n that_o perish_v 1.7_o 1._o pet._n 1.7_o though_o it_o be_v try_v with_o fire_n may_v be_v find_v unto_o your_o praise_n and_o honour_n and_o glory_n at_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v a_o four_o objection_n of_o you_o prayer_n the_o four_o objection_n and_o answer_n concern_v prayer_n that_o you_o can_v pray_v what_o can_v you_o not_o pray_v at_o all_o can_v you_o never_o pray_v yes_o you_o thank_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n you_o can_v pray_v sometime_o but_o neither_o so_o often_o nor_o so_o zealous_o as_o you_o desire_v and_o as_o your_o need_n enforce_v you_o sometime_o you_o pray_v prayer_n cold_a prayer_n better_o than_o no_o prayer_n but_o very_o coldlie_o and_o with_o very_o little_a or_o no_o feel_n sometime_o you_o pray_v more_o earnest_o and_o for_o all_o that_o you_o find_v small_a comfort_n and_o sometime_o though_o you_o do_v what_o you_o can_v you_o can_v not_o pray_v for_o your_o life_n this_o be_v as_o i_o know_v by_o some_o woeful_a experience_n a_o very_a just_a and_o true_a complaint_n yet_o i_o remember_v when_o i_o demand_v whether_o you_o can_v pray_v at_o any_o time_n you_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o you_o can_v pray_v sometime_o and_o i_o be_o persuade_v with_o good_a feel_n and_o sweet_a comfort_n to_o your_o soul_n whereupon_o i_o prove_v once_o again_o to_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o have_v a_o true_a faith_n unto_o salvation_n because_o prayer_n be_v a_o undoubted_a and_o plain_a fruit_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n 13._o rom._n 1●_n 13._o accompany_v with_o everlasting_a salvation_n for_o whosoever_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v prayer_n be_v not_o a_o common_a gift_n elect_a prayer_n no_o common_a but_o a_o special_a gist_n give_v to_o the_o elect_a common_a to_o all_o but_o a_o special_a gift_n proper_a only_o to_o the_o elect_a as_o faith_n and_o repentance_n the_o apostle_n say_v all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n 2._o thessalon_n 3.2_o so_o say_v i_o all_o man_n have_v not_o the_o gift_n to_o pray_v a_o wicked_a man_n can_v not_o pray_v because_o he_o can_v not_o believe_v for_o prayer_n be_v a_o most_o excellent_a fruit_n of_o faith_n the_o ungodly_a have_v not_o this_o gift_n in_o truth_n or_o in_o any_o good_a measure_n howsoever_o they_o have_v many_o other_o excellent_a gift_n of_o wisdom_n council_n &_o learning_n yet_o they_o want_v this_o which_o the_o prophet_n do_v plain_o avouch_v say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v they_o do_v many_o other_o thing_n but_o they_o do_v not_o this_o and_o no_o marvel_n for_o indeed_o they_o can_v because_o they_o want_v that_o spirit_n which_o shall_v teach_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n and_o pray_v in_o we_o yea_o this_o same_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n which_o have_v wrought_v a_o gracious_a measure_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o your_o heart_n have_v teach_v you_o also_o to_o pray_v and_o to_o take_v so_o great_a delight_n therein_o that_o you_o be_v glad_a when_o you_o can_v pray_v yourself_o or_o can_v be_v partaker_n with_o other_o when_o they_o pray_v but_o you_o say_v sometime_o you_o can_v pray_v at_o all_o gift_n prayer_n be_v not_o a_o common_a gift_n and_o therefore_o you_o doubt_v yourself_o very_o much_o will_v the_o godly_a can_v always_o pray_v as_o they_o will_v if_o you_o can_v pray_v when_o you_o will_v and_o as_o you_o will_v bear_v with_o my_o plainness_n for_o i_o speak_v from_o the_o feel_n of_o my_o own_o heart_n you_o will_v be_v proud_a you_o will_v think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o gift_n of_o nature_n in_o your_o own_o power_n and_o no_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o shall_v god_n loose_v his_o glory_n so_o shall_v you_o soon_o forget_v the_o right_a use_n of_o a_o notable_a blessing_n and_o forget_v also_o to_o be_v

with_o more_o reverence_n and_o make_v more_o account_n of_o it_o you_o take_v more_o joy_n in_o it_o and_o when_o you_o want_v it_o you_o groan_n to_o god_n for_o it_o the_o more_o earnest_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a and_o much_o for_o your_o profit_n profitable_a the_o want_n of_o many_o blessing_n and_o grace_n be_v very_o needful_a and_o profitable_a that_o the_o lord_n will_v excuse_v
