this_o order_n that_o as_o faith_n come_v by_o the_o gospel_n so_o by_o the_o same_o faith_n our_o heart_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o seal_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o witness_n of_o the_o gospel_n raise_v up_o our_o spirit_n that_o they_o dare_v with_o boldness_n show_v forth_o their_o desire_n it_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o unspeakable_a groan_n and_o cause_v we_o to_o cry_v with_o confidence_n abba_n father_n by_o the_o benefit_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o we_o attain_v to_o those_o riches_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o we_o for_o thereby_o we_o have_v familiar_a access_n to_o god_n and_o bold_o enter_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o heaven_n we_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o promise_n so_o that_o now_o by_o experience_n we_o feel_v and_o find_v that_o to_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n which_o by_o the_o word_n we_o do_v before_o but_o only_o believe_v now_o we_o enjoy_v those_o treasure_n by_o prayer_n which_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v before_o but_o only_o behold_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n now_o how_o necessary_a and_o profitable_a this_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n be_v it_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o lord_n himself_o witness_v our_o whole_a salvation_n to_o consist_v in_o the_o call_n upon_o his_o name_n whereby_o he_o be_v whole_o present_a with_o we_o namely_o by_o his_o providence_n and_o fatherly_a care_n by_o the_o which_o he_o watch_v over_o we_o by_o his_o power_n by_o the_o which_o he_o sustain_v and_o succour_v our_o weakness_n be_v every_o moment_n ready_a to_o perish_v and_o by_o his_o goodness_n &_o mercy_n by_o the_o which_o he_o receive_v we_o into_o favour_n be_v miserable_o load_v &_o press_v down_o with_o sin_n ▪_o and_o hereby_o grow_v singular_a rest_n and_o quietness_n to_o our_o conscience_n for_o when_o we_o have_v disclose_v to_o he_o our_o necessity_n herein_o we_o find_v most_o joyful_a and_o perfect_a quietness_n that_o none_o of_o our_o evil_n be_v hide_v from_o he_o who_o we_o be_v persuade_v to_o be_v both_o most_o willing_a &_o also_o most_o able_a to_o help_v us._n now_o that_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v make_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o we_o must_v see_v that_o we_o be_v in_o heart_n and_o mind_n no_o otherwise_o prepare_v then_o become_v those_o that_o enter_v into_o talk_n with_o god_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v eccle._n 18._o before_o thou_o pray_v prepare_v thyself_o and_o be_v not_o as_o one_o that_o tempt_v god._n we_o must_v consider_v therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v in_o who_o presence_n we_o stand_v to_o who_o we_o speak_v and_o what_o we_o desire_v we_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o almighty_a creator_n of_o heaven_n &_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o contain_v to_o who_o eternal_a majesty_n innumerable_a thousand_o of_o angel_n do_v assist_v se●ue_v and_o obey_v we_o speak_v unto_o he_o who_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o our_o heart_n before_o who_o nothing_o be_v more_o odious_a than_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n we_o ask_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o our_o conscience_n we_o must_v therefore_o diligent_o endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o remove_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v offend_v his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o first_o that_o we_o be_v free_a from_o all_o worldly_a care_n &_o fleshly_a cogitation_n whereby_o our_o mind_n be_v carry_v hither_o and_o thither_o &_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o heaven_n and_o from_o the_o pure_a behold_v of_o god_n be_v press_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o here_o let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_n how_o unreverent_o we_o abuse_v the_o great_a goodness_n of_o god_n call_v we_o into_o familiar_a talk_n with_o he_o when_o we_o have_v not_o that_o reverend_a fear_n of_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n that_o we_o will_v have_v of_o a_o earthly_a creature_n or_o a_o worldly_a prince_n but_o suffer_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o wander_a thought_n and_o worldly_a imagination_n be_v otherwise_o occupy_v and_o forsake_v he_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o prayer_n as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n so_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n &_o with_o a_o true_a faithful_a and_o unfeigned_a kind_n of_o worship_n and_o therefore_o as_o at_o all_o other_o time_n he_o require_v the_o heart_n so_o special_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n when_o we_o show_v ourselves_o in_o his_o presence_n &_o enter_v into_o communication_n with_o he_o &_o thereupon_o when_o he_o promise_v to_o hear_v all_o those_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o he_o make_v a_o restraint_n &_o say_v that_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n see_v therefore_o the_o chief_a duty_n of_o prayer_n consist_v in_o the_o heart_n we_o must_v with_o our_o whole_a heart_n pour_v out_o our_o prayer_n unto_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n &_o with_o a_o sincere_a unfeigned_a &_o ardent_a affection_n &_o open_v of_o our_o heart_n before_o god_n call_v upon_o he_o or_o else_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o let_v we_o know_v therefore_o that_o none_o prepare_v themselves_o right_o to_o prayer_n but_o such_o as_o have_v a_o reverend_a fear_n of_o god_n majesty_n which_o they_o can_v have_v that_o come_v not_o to_o it_o unburden_v of_o earthly_a care_n &_o affection_n and_o thi●_z be_v it_o that_o be_v mean_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o hand_n that_o we_o shall_v remember_v ourselves_o to_o be_v far_o off_o from_o god_n unless_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n &_o mind_n also_o on_o high_a an_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 25._o to_o thou_o have_v i_o lift_v up_o my_o soul_n the_o scripture_n use_v also_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o lift_v up_o prayer_n that_o they_o which_o desire_v to_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v their_o mind_n carry_v away_o with_o earthly_a cogitation_n &_o vanity_n and_o though_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v so_o bend_v to_o prayer_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o many_o high_a thought_n will_v creep_v upon_o we_o to_o hinder_v our_o prayer_n yet_o the_o more_o hard_a it_o be_v the_o more_o earnest_o we_o must_v wrestle_v to_o overcome_v all_o let_n and_o hindrance_n &_o labour_n with_o inward_a groan_n unto_o the_o lord_n 86._o that_o he_o will_v link_v our_o heart_n fast_o unto_o he_o and_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o beledde_v away_o from_o he_o by_o the_o vain_a suggestion_n of_o satan_n who_o at_o all_o time_n compass_v we_o about_o be_v never_o more_o busy_a then_o when_o we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o prayer_n secret_o and_o subtle_o creep_v into_o our_o breast_n and_o call_v we_o back_o from_o god_n so_o that_o oftentimes_o when_o we_o with_o all_o reverence_n shall_v speak_v to_o god_n we_o find_v our_o heart_n talk_v with_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n or_o with_o the_o foolish_a imagination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n final_o we_o must_v be_v in_o christian_n charity_n love_n and_o concord_n with_o all_o man_n seek_v unfeigned_a hearty_a and_o brotherly_a reconciliation_n if_o we_o have_v offend_v any_o man_n before_o we_o enter_v into_o prayer_n or_o else_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v our_o prayer_n yea_o they_o be_v otherwise_o execrable_a &_o full_a of_o damnable_a hypocrisy_n in_o god_n sight_n and_o this_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o prayer_n may_v be_v say_v also_o of_o hear_v of_o god_n word_n or_o any_o other_o service_n of_o god._n we_o must_v
