that_o will_v of_o god_n do_v manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o prayer_n when_o prayer_n clash_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n of_o saint_n on_o earth_n concern_v god_n mind_n which_o have_v but_o one_o truth_n to_o rule_v they_o and_o according_a to_o the_o consonancy_n of_o apprehension_n to_o that_o god_n own_v or_o disowns_a all_o their_o act_n it_o be_v most_o sad_a and_o dangerous_a to_o do_v any_o public_a act_n wherein_o any_o which_o be_v godly_a shall_v dissent_v much_o more_o that_o which_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v pray_v against_o

when_o so_o many_o good_a man_n seem_v to_o be_v against_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o sad_a and_o shall_v be_v much_o weigh_v that_o god_n shall_v continual_o answer_v one_o sort_n of_o prayer_n and_o quite_o neglect_v the_o other_o when_o they_o come_v both_o from_o godly_a person_n who_o god_n love_v what_o one_o petition_n have_v god_n ever_o seem_v to_o receive_v as_o make_v by_o his_o

the_o same_o time_n and_o work_v out_o contrary_a issue_n all_o these_o consideration_n put_v together_o may_v suffice_v to_o work_v we_o to_o a_o meditation_n at_o least_o of_o what_o god_n have_v
