this_o i_o take_v brief_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o petition_n hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n that_o be_v lord_n that_o thy_o name_n may_v be_v holy_a in_o the_o heart_n and_o

what_o be_v the_o special_a grace_n we_o pray_v for_o the_o order_n be_v such_o that_o the_o first_o thing_n pray_v for_o iâ—_n god_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o glory_n and_o honour_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o must_v all_o care_n for_o that_o god_n may_v have_v his_o honour_n may_v be_v respect_v regard_v love_v fear_a etc._n etc._n whatsoever_o become_v of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o two_o thing_n lesson_n 1_o first_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o we_o must_v more_o desire_v then_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o must_v be_v content_v to_o let_v all_o go_v for_o it_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o it_o whatsoever_o become_v of_o we_o howsoever_o despit_v &_o abuse_v yet_o if_o god_n have_v his_o glory_n be_v esteem_v and_o regard_v it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o see_v we_o be_v here_o teach_v to_o begin_v all_o our_o prayer_n with_o the_o desire_n of_o this_o before_o we_o pray_v for_o daily_a bread_n yea_o any_o thing_n else_o belong_v to_o ourselves_o yea_o as_o one_o say_v before_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n we_o pray_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o can_v redeem_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n with_o loss_n i_o say_v not_o of_o our_o own_o life_n only_o but_o our_o own_o soul_n we_o must_v be_v content_v i_o can_v wish_v myself_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o christ_n for_o my_o brethren_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o 3._o shall_v say_v if_o god_n may_v have_v any_o glory_n by_o it_o than_o i_o can_v be_v content_v to_o redeem_v his_o glory_n with_o my_o life_n nay_o lose_v my_o part_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n as_o moses_n wish_v rather_o than_o god_n shall_v be_v dishonour_v to_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o book_n 32._o lesson_n 2_o second_o that_o we_o must_v prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o what_o end_n we_o seek_v labour_n for_o plead_v for_o desire_n or_o travel_v for_o we_o must_v remember_v in_o all_o to_o prefer_v god_n above_o all_o so_o that_o howsoever_o we_o can_v be_v patient_a and_o quiet_a in_o other_o case_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o case_n of_o god_n glory_n than_o we_o must_v begin_v to_o rouse_v and_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o so_o as_o to_o have_v all_o our_o affection_n inflame_v in_o we_o as_o eliah_n 1_o king_n 19_o 14._o 14._o so_o to_o say_v to_o ourselves_o i_o have_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o host_n so_o do_v hezekiah_n when_o sennacherib_n have_v 34._o send_v he_o a_o rail_a letter_n he_o go_v and_o open_v it_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o that_o which_o more_o touch_v he_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v dishonour_v then_o when_o his_o kingdom_n and_o life_n be_v threaten_v so_o christ_n himself_o that_o patient_o hear_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o devil_n temptation_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o take_v the_o honour_n from_o the_o lord_n then_o christ_n begin_v to_o rouse_v up_o himself_o and_o chide_v he_o avoid_v satan_n 10._o it_o be_v write_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v thus_o even_o against_o the_o mighty_a we_o must_v stand_v out_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n how_o lamentable_a a_o thing_n than_o be_v it_o for_o wicked_a man_n who_o can_v let_v

the_o whole_a course_n of_o scripture_n god_n be_v always_o more_o ready_a to_o stir_v in_o our_o cause_n when_o the_o matter_n concern_v we_o then_o when_o it_o concern_v himself_o so_o deal_v he_o by_o cain_n the_o lord_n let_v he_o go_v for_o the_o 7._o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v to_o himself_o for_o his_o bad_a sacrifice_n for_o his_o hypocritical_a worship_n but_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o

against_o the_o church_n and_o the_o lord_n people_n than_o the_o lord_n oppose_v he_o and_o when_o he_o will_v not_o desist_v from_o his_o cruelty_n at_o the_o last_o he_o drown_v he_o and_o all_o his_o host_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n now_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v thus_o ready_a to_o show_v himself_o and_o stir_v in_o our_o cause_n than_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v much_o more_o ready_a and_o rouse_v

bodily_a preservation_n of_o health_n and_o life_n now_o here_o in_o this_o 5_o petition_n we_o come_v to_o the_o good_a of_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o be_v either_o the_o grace_n of_o

this_o be_v also_o a_o discouragement_n if_o we_o doubt_v of_o the_o party_n ability_n to_o help_v three_o when_o though_o the_o party_n we_o come_v to_o have_v both_o authority_n and_o ability_n yet_o be_v unwilling_a to_o grant_v as_o we_o see_v in_o churlish_a naball_n towards_o david_n shall_v i_o then_o 11._o take_v my_o bread_n and_o my_o water_n and_o my_o flesh_n that_o i_o have_v

and_o honour_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v his_o own_o and_o thus_o by_o these_o three_o reason_n our_o saviour_n have_v clear_v and_o remove_v all_o these_o rub_v in_o the_o way_n which_o may_v make_v we_o doubt_v not_o to_o obtain_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n what_o we_o pray_v for_o reason_n 1_o concern_v the_o first_o reason_n take_v from_o god_n authority_n for_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n we_o observe_v that_o the_o sovereignty_n and_o free_a disposition_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v well_o pray_v lord_n thou_o may_v give_v we_o heaven_n

thou_o as_o sovereign_a lord_n may_v dispose_v of_o they_o &_o dispense_v they_o at_o thy_o own_o will_n so_o david_n say_v thou_o o_o lord_n be_v greatness_n and_o power_n and_o victory_n and_o

weigh_v have_v a_o further_a force_n in_o it_o namely_o because_o the_o kingdom_n be_v thou_o so_o o_o lord_n it_o belong_v unto_o thou_o and_o be_v much_o for_o thy_o honour_n to_o give_v we_o all_o

with_o all_o grace_n needful_a thus_o holy_a david_n practice_n be_v to_o fetch_v all_o his_o want_n out_o of_o god_n store-house_n as_o psal._n 5._o 2._o harken_v unto_o the_o 2._o voice_n of_o my_o

to_o our_o weakness_n and_o will_v gracious_o first_o dispatch_v we_o of_o our_o worldly_a care_n and_o fear_v of_o want_n that_o have_v earthly_a thing_n supply_v we_o may_v have_v the_o more_o leisure_n to_o attend_v and_o be_v better_o prepare_v for_o the_o heavenly_a because_o many_o time_n we_o be_v so_o disturb_v and_o encumber_v about_o earthly_a thing_n that_o we_o have_v little_a care_n for_o heavenly_a thought_n which_o in_o that_o estate_n be_v unwelcome_a unto_o we_o have_v but_o bad_a entertainment_n as_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n be_v so_o trouble_v about_o the_o fountain_n water_n john_n 4._o 10._o as_o she_o can_v hardly_o 10._o hearken_v to_o conceive_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n which_o christ_n speak_v of_o and_o as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n hearken_v not_o unto_o moses_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o anguish_n of_o their_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o our_o
thus_o speak_v of_o the_o petition_n both_o which_o concern_v god_n glory_n and_o our_o own_o good_a whereby_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o make_v our_o request_n regular_a whatsoever_o we_o ask_v demand_v it_o according_a to_o god_n 4._o will_v with_o assurance_n to_o receive_v it_o as_o we_o have_v it_o 1_o john_n 5._o 4._o he_o now_o at_o last_o bring_v we_o unto_o a_o view_n of_o those_o reason_n whereby_o we_o may_v strengthen_v and_o back_o our_o petition_n that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v not_o to_o loose_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o seed_n as_o we_o know_v may_v perish_v two_o way_n 1_o if_o it_o be_v not_o good_a 2_o if_o the_o ground_n be_v naught_o for_o though_o the_o seed_n be_v good_a yet_o if_o the_o ground_n be_v not_o answerable_a it_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o seed_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v sow_v in_o be_v the_o ear_n and_o bosom_n of_o god_n therefore_o howsoever_o it_o may_v perish_v in_o respect_n the_o seed_n be_v not_o good_a yet_o it_o can_v never_o miscarry_v because_o the_o ground_n be_v good_a but_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v it_o prosper_v and_o return_v it_o with_o a_o blessing_n and_o increase_n therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v ourselves_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o we_o need_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o to_o have_v a_o blessing_n if_o we_o

which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v lord_n let_v it_o be_v so_o first_o for_o the_o reason_n we_o must_v consider_v why_o our_o saviour_n quest._n ans._n christ_n annex_v these_o and_o do_v propound_v petition_n without_o enforce_a reason_n this_o be_v to_o show_v with_o what_o earnestness_n and_o excellent_a fervent_a intention_n we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n not_o slight_o and_o cold_o but_o press_v he_o with_o argument_n be_v serious_a to_o obtain_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o but_o how_o do_v many_o of_o we_o pray_v indeed_o it_o be_v with_o such_o deadness_n and_o coldness_n as_o if_o we_o do_v not_o great_o care_v whether_o our_o request_n be_v grant_v or_o not_o now_o to_o correct_v &_o mend_v this_o fault_n our_o saviour_n show_v we_o must_v be_v serious_a and_o earnest_a in_o our_o suit_n david_n say_v my_o voice_n come_v to_o god_n when_o i_o cry_v my_o voice_n come_v to_o god_n and_o he_o hear_v i_o child_n be_v earnest_a when_o they_o crave_v but_o cry_v when_o

and_o the_o likely_a to_o speed_v saint_n paul_n will_v we_o to_o strive_v by_o prayer_n with_o god_n meaning_n that_o as_o jacob_n strive_v weep_v and_o wrestle_v with_o 25._o the_o angel_n and_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v without_o a_o blessing_n so_o shall_v we_o strive_v with_o god_n by_o prayer_n in_o a_o holy_a reverence_n and_o say_v as_o he_o say_v lord_n i_o will_v not_o let_v thou_o

in_o our_o prayer_n consider_v god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o and_o delight_v in_o importunity_n therefore_o show_v we_o undeniable_a reason_n to_o incite_v we_o to_o pray_v second_o we_o must_v

which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o nothing_o of_o the_o world_n be_v within_o we_o no_o not_o in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o we_o that_o may_v move_v or_o incline_v the_o lord_n to_o show_v mercy_n and_o
