we_o look_v upon_o man_n it_o will_v be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o to_o go_v right_a but_o we_o must_v follow_v god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o god_n be_v so_o good_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o give_v

for_o our_o way_n we_o ground_n not_o ourselves_o one_o upon_o another_o to_o say_v thus_o will_v i_o do_v for_o i_o see_v most_o man_n do_v it_o no_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n call_v we_o to_o

than_o that_o so_o then_o to_o be_v short_a we_o can_v be_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n flock_n unless_o we_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v give_v we_o that_o we_o may_v make_v the_o same_o

such_o wise_a with_o man_n that_o as_o we_o receive_v good_a by_o they_o so_o we_o also_o on_o our_o side_n may_v look_v to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v a_o mutual_a answerablenesse_n on_o both_o side_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o none_o of_o we_o can_v forbear_v his_o neighbour_n let_v a_o man_n be_v of_o as_o good_a ability_n as_o he_o can_v wish_v and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o must_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o other_o man_n service_n in_o many_o thing_n now_o when_o he_o know_v that_o he_o have_v such_o need_n and_o necessity_n of_o other_o man_n help_n shall_v he_o draw_v back_o from_o his_o neighbour_n or_o be_v so_o nice_a that_o he_o will_v bear_v no_o burden_n but_o be_v loath_a to_o take_v any_o pain_n for_o the_o common_a weal_n it_o

in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o of_o all_o worldly_a affair_n to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o y_o t_z in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n make_v other_o to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o

case_n there_o be_v a_o special_a consideration_n in_o their_o conquer_a of_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v not_o promise_v several_o to_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n or_o to_o the_o tribe_n of_o benjamin_n or_o to_o any_o of_o the_o other_o tribe_n alone_o but_o general_o to_o the_o whole_a offspring_n of_o abraham_n therefore_o it_o behove_v this_o land_n to_o be_v

one_o common_a trace_n we_o must_v apply_v this_o example_n to_o ourselves_o and_o consider_v that_o the_o same_o rule_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o be_v give_v to_o we_o also_o as_o how_o do_v god_n command_v that_o we_o shall_v but_o every_o man_n several_o for_o himself_o resist_v satan_n and_o proceed_v more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o gospel_n be_v it_o not_o a_o common_a lesson_n yes_o see_v then_o that_o god_n call_v we_o so_o one_o with_o another_o and_o will_v have_v all_o to_o agree_v in_o one_o accord_n like_o good_a melody_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o separate_v ourselves_o any_o more_o a_o sunder_o wherefore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o to_o advance_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o his_o to_o build_v up_o his_o church_n and_o to_o make_v his_o gospel_n to_o prosper_v and_o flourish_v every_o man_n must_v not_o only_o work_v alone_o by_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v also_o agree_v all_o in_o one_o and_o draw_v all_o by_o one_o line_n and_o every_o of_o we_o strain_n himself_o to_o serve_v such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o his_o help_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o build_v so_o alone_o by_o themselves_o do_v but_o work_v confusion_n of_o which_o sort_n there_o be_v that_o think_v themselves_o very_o able_a man_n and_o that_o they_o can_v work_v wonder_n to_o their_o own_o seem_n insomuch_o that_o they_o despise_v their_o neighbour_n and_o will_v even_o bear_v down_o all_o other_o man_n before_o they_o to_o show_v themselves_o valiant_a fellow_n and_o that_o they_o do_v a_o hundred_o fold_n more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o what_o come_v of_o such_o pride_n but_o overthrow_n and_o confusion_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o serve_v god_n by_o further_a of_o the_o gladtiding_n of_o our_o salvation_n unless_o we_o have_v the_o say_a concord_n that_o we_o be_v ready_a and_o well_o dispose_v to_o help_v

conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o moses_n incorage_v josua_n to_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n and_o to_o go_v through_o with_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o himself_o may_v not_o do_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o convey_v the_o people_n over_o jordan_n and_o to_o conquer_v all_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n but_o first_o of_o all_o he_o set_v before_o he_o the_o victory_n that_o the_o people_n

they_o be_v but_o too_o forward_o already_o in_o take_v more_o upon_o they_o than_o belong_v to_o they_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v so_o natural_o give_v to_o selfeween_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o they_o to_o be_v meeken_v and_o to_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o their_o pride_n and_o loftiness_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o have_v

can_v be_v persuade_v to_o the_o contrary_a god_n can_v win_v so_o much_o at_o our_o hand_n as_o to_o get_v the_o mastery_n of_o us._n so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o take_v pain_n to_o hold_v ourselves_o whole_o in_o awe_n to_o the_o end_n we_o build_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o god_n allow_v not_o but_o that_o we_o always_o have_v that_o mark_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o rest_v whole_o upon_o it_o now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o desire_n which_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v good_a holy_a and_o commendable_a do_v nevertheless_o become_v sinful_a and_o blameworthy_a when_o they_o advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n what_o be_v they_o when_o we_o covet_v evil_a thing_n and_o give_v head_n to_o our_o fleshly_a lust_n we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v forbid_v we_o be_v evil_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o take_v leave_v to_o desire_v it_o be_v this_o to_o be_v excuse_v now_o then_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v take_v profit_n by_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o our_o desire_n to_o see_v to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o can_v be_v yet_o must_v we_o abstain_v from_o they_o unless_o god_n do_v like_a of_o they_o for_o at_o that_o end_n must_v we_o begin_v and_o furthermore_o that_o if_o we_o ought_v to_o correct_v our_o desire_n though_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n of_o evil_n in_o they_o we_o ought_v much_o more_o to_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o we_o cast_v not_o forth_o our_o bubble_n when_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o evil_a and_o when_o we_o be_v carry_v away_o to_o fleshly_a lust_n all_o that_o gear_n must_v be_v kill_v stark_o dead_a see_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o even_o to_o wiâ—h_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a except_o we_o have_v leave_v of_o god_n but_o we_o must_v then_o special_o observe_v this_o lesson_n when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v faith_n and_o what_o import_v that_o even_o that_o we_o shall_v hear_v god_n speak_v if_o we_o pray_v at_o all_o adventure_n doubt_v whether_o we_o shall_v obtain_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v or_o no_o â—_o james._n â—_o â—_o it_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n and_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n we_o at_o all_o say_v the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v well_o assure_v when_o we_o come_v before_o god_n so_o as_o we_o believe_v certain_o that_o our_o pray_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n where_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o christian_n do_v differre_fw-la from_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o infidel_n for_o the_o infidel_n and_o unbeliever_n may_v well_o flee_v unto_o

not_o upon_o the_o promise_n but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o god_n &_o that_o he_o be_v much_o ready_a to_o grant_v than_o we_o be_v to_o require_v yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o pitiful_a and_o have_v such_o a_o respect_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o necessity_n to_o relieve_v they_o 〈…〉_o â—sa_fw-la 〈…〉_o that_o he_o even_o prevent_v us._n we_o must_v be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o this_o when_o we_o pray_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o bear_v ourselves_o on_o hand_n that_o we_o hold_v god_n bind_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o grant_v all_o our_o desire_n for_o what_o a_o malapertnesse_n be_v that_o and_o what_o a_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o trow_v god_n will_v do_v whatsoever_o i_o listen_v to_o command_v he_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n you_o see_v then_o that_o faith_n be_v requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n thrust_v forth_o himself_o upon_o his_o own_o head_n but_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n allure_v we_o unto_o he_o we_o go_v unto_o he_o bold_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o us._n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v note_v now_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v faulty_a if_o they_o be_v not_o rule_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o ask_v of_o he_o whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o head_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n for_o we_o to_o trust_v unto_o in_o go_v to_o it_o so_o without_o advice_n and_o therefore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o pass_v our_o bound_n we_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n further_v by_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o in_o pray_v we_o must_v always_o consider_v what_o god_n permit_v we_o &_o what_o his_o will_n be_v y_z t_z we_o shall_v ask_v of_o he_o and_o that_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v this_o modesty_n and_o soberness_n with_o we_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o he_o as_o though_o his_o spirit_n speak_v in_o we_o and_o indyte_v unto_o we_o the_o very_a form_n of_o our_o prayer_n 6.9_o matt._n 6.9_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o request_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v unto_o god_n for_o although_o we_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o those_o word_n to_o say_v hollow_v be_v the_o

in_o the_o prayer_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v unto_o us._n and_o although_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n have_v not_o the_o same_o rule_n yet_o be_v they_o always_o

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v us._n now_o then_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o take_v leave_n to_o pray_v what_o they_o listen_v do_v not_o direct_v themselves_o to_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o likewise_o disappoint_v of_o their_o desire_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o all_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v lawful_a according_a to_o god_n word_n but_o now_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v without_o

pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o show_v we_o mercy_n god_n have_v assure_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v it_o and_o see_v he_o have_v promise_v it_o our_o come_n to_o he_o to_o seek_v favour_n must_v not_o be_v as_o though_o we_o wist_v not_o what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o request_n but_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v that_o he_o will_v show_v we_o

the_o matter_n to_o wit_n whether_o the_o preacher_n do_v set_v forth_o any_o strange_a doctrine_n whether_o they_o have_v put_v forth_o any_o forge_a dotage_n or_o whether_o they_o have_v set_v up_o

as_o y_z e_z most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v in_o who_o as_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o slavish_a fear_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v so_o to_o govern_v all_o our_o affection_n
