a_o further_a enforcement_n thereunto_o to_o begin_v then_o with_o prayer_n the_o reason_n why_o god_n require_v this_o duty_n at_o our_o hand_n i_o will_v name_v but_o the_o chief_a be_v these_o 1._o that_o we_o may_v acknowledge_v the_o property_n he_o have_v in_o the_o gift_n he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o otherwise_o we_o will_v forget_v in_o what_o tenure_n we_o hold_v those_o blessing_n we_o receive_v from_o his_o hand_n though_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o bestow_v his_o benefit_n upon_o we_o yet_o he_o will_v have_v we_o ask_v they_o before_o he_o do_v it_o even_o as_o father_n

we_o ask_v of_o god_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v he_o to_o give_v as_o we_o shall_v not_o receive_v what_o we_o have_v not_o so_o we_o can_v lawful_o use_v any_o thing_n we_o have_v 2._o another_o reason_n be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n acquaint_v now_o thyself_o with_o god_n say_v eliphaz_n job_n 22._o 21._o and_o be_v at_o peace_n thereby_o good_a shall_v come_v unto_o

way_n to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o order_n for_o to_o come_v often_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n breed_v a_o holy_a awe_n in_o our_o heart_n it_o make_v we_o to_o call_v our_o sin_n to_o

they_o must_v often_o come_v to_o ask_v and_o sue_v for_o favour_n and_o if_o they_o have_v offend_v they_o be_v present_o ashamed_a and_o the_o first_o thing_n they_o do_v will_v be_v to_o sue_v for_o pardon_n these_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o prayer_n now_o let_v we_o see_v the_o reason_n also_o why_o alm_n be_v require_v which_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o those_o for_o prayer_n for_o 1._o

the_o proper_a evil_n of_o abundance_n be_v to_o forget_v god_n and_o our_o dependence_n upon_o he_o the_o remedy_n whereof_o most_o genuine_a and_o natural_a be_v to_o pay_v he_o a_o rent_n of_o what_o we_o have_v so_o shall_v we_o always_o think_v of_o our_o landlord_n and_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o heaven_n in_o whatsoever_o we_o receive_v and_o enjoy_v yea_o when_o this_o service_n

the_o acknowledgement_n we_o perform_v 3._o the_o last_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v give_v alm_n be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v fit_a subject_n of_o mercy_n at_o the_o day_n we_o look_v for_o mercy_n
