A96435	Abraham's humble intercession for Sodom, and the Lord's gracious concessions in answer thereunto containing sundry meditations upon Gen. XVIII. from ver. XXIII. to the end of the chapter. Wherein many things are spoken of concerning believers drawing near to God, and the efficacy of their prayers; and how they may be princes and prevailers with God, and with what boldness they may come before him, and what ground they may get of him by their prayers, and what sweet communing they have with him. With sundry other things worthy of our most serious thoughts, helping us to be more spiritual and heavenly, which may prepare us for that everlasting communion and fellowship that we hope to arrive at, and come to in a blessed state of glory by Jesus Christ.

that_o iniquity_n be_v there_o i_o say_v in_o my_o heart_n god_n shall_v judge_v the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a for_o there_o be_v a_o time_n there_o for_o every_o purpose_n and_o for_o every_o work_n now_o if_o god_n will_v be_v severe_a against_o unrighteous_a judge_n at_o the_o last_o day_n how_o can_v it_o be_v but_o that_o as_o judge_v he_o must_v do_v right_a himself_o reason_n of_o the_o second_o branch_n why_o we_o be_v to_o plead_v it_o with_o he_o as_o he_o be_v judge_n to_o do_v right_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o his_o name_n shall_v have_v any_o

dishonour_n upon_o he_o petit._n 1._o in_o mat._n 6.9_o 2._o because_o if_o he_o do_v not_o right_a he_o can_v not_o judge_v the_o world_n it_o be_v essential_a to_o his_o office_n of_o be_v judge_n to_o do_v righteous_o rom._n 3.5_o 6._o and_o that_o we_o may_v plead_v with_o he_o 3._o because_o his_o honour_n be_v exalt_v by_o do_v right_a if_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n then_o much_o more_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v well_o plead_v it_o with_o he_o 4._o because_o all_o mouth_n be_v stop_v when_o right_o be_v do_v it_o be_v so_o when_o judge_n on_o earth_n do_v right_a they_o that_o will_v cavil_v can_v tell_v how_o to_o do_v it_o so_o it_o be_v when_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n do_v right_a than_o no_o man_n dare_v open_a his_o
