we_o put_v confidence_n in_o one_o of_o they_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o must_v both_o pray_v and_o use_v the_o mean_n but_o so_o as_o we_o put_v our_o chief_a trust_n in_o prayer_n it_o be_v not_o mean_n that_o will_v do_v it_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o do_v the_o quite_o contrary_a it_o may_v be_v we_o pray_v and_o use_v the_o mean_n but_o we_o trust_v the_o mean_n and_o not_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v a_o common_a and_o a_o great_a fault_n among_o we_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o atheism_n for_o man_n to_o think_v the_o lord_n regard_v their_o prayer_n no_o more_o than_o he_o regard_v the_o bleat_a of_o sheep_n or_o the_o low_v of_o ox_n to_o think_v he_o heed_v they_o not_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o faith_n to_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n hearken_v to_o they_o and_o regard_v they_o as_o certain_o he_o do_v object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v i_o have_v pray_v and_o be_o not_o hear_v and_o have_v seek_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v find_v no_o answer_n answ._n well_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v not_o for_o the_o present_a but_o have_v thou_o stay_v the_o lord_n leisure_n for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o case_n sometime_o the_o lord_n come_v quick_o he_o give_v a_o quick_a answer_n to_o our_o request_n sometime_o he_o stay_v long_a but_o this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o when_o the_o return_n be_v long_o the_o gain_n be_v the_o great_a ●s_n we_o see_v in_o trade_n some_o trade_n have_v their_o return_n very_o quick_a it_o may_v be_v the_o tradesmen_n money_n be_v return_v every_o week_n but_o then_o their_o gain_n be_v so_o much_o the_o light_a but_o when_o their_o return_n be_v flower_n as_o be_v your_o great_a merchant_n when_o it_o stay_v three_o or_o four_o year_n we_o see_v the_o ship_n come_v home_o lade_v bring_v so_o much_o the_o more_o so_o for_o the_o most_o part_n when_o our_o prayer_n do_v stay_v long_o they_o return_v with_o the_o great_a blessing_n they_o return_v load_v with_o rich_a commodity_n let_v this_o be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o we_o though_o i_o stay_v the_o lord_n will_v grant_v it_o and_o think_v not_o with_o thyself_o i_o make_v such_o a_o prayer_n long_o ago_o i_o find_v no_o fruit_n of_o it_o for_o be_v sure_a the_o lord_n remember_v thy_o prayer_n though_o thou_o have_v forget_v it_o the_o prayer_n that_o thou_o make_v a_o good_a many_o year_n ago_o may_v do_v thou_o good_a many_o year_n hence_o may_v not_o a_o man_n pray_v to_o have_v his_o child_n sanctify_v to_o have_v he_o bring_v to_o better_a order_n it_o may_v be_v he_o live_v many_o year_n and_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o prayer_n may_v be_v effectual_a so_o likewise_o it_o may_v be_v in_o many_o case_n you_o see_v there_o be_v many_o example_n for_o it_o abraham_n pray_v he_o stay_v long_o but_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n that_o he_o have_v when_o he_o pray_v for_o a_o son_n you_o know_v what_o a_o son_n he_o be_v he_o be_v a_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o who_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bless_v so_o david_n when_o the_o lord_n promise_v he_o a_o kingdom_n he_o stay_v long_o for_o it_o many_o such_o example_n there_o be_v therefore_o comfort_n thyself_o with_o this_o though_o i_o stay_v long_o this_o be_v my_o hope_n this_o be_v my_o encouragement_n that_o sustain_v i_o if_o i_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o wait_v upon_o he_o he_o will_v come_v with_o a_o great_a blessing_n the_o gain_n shall_v be_v heavy_a and_o great_a though_o the_o return_n be_v not_o so_o quick_a and_o sudden_a 3_o last_o of_o all_o when_o you_o hear_v such_o a_o promise_n as_o this_o that_o whatsoever_o you_o ask_v you_o shall_v be_v hear_v in_o it_o you_o shall_v hence_o learn_v to_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o the_o meditation_n of_o this_o great_a privilege_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v and_o none_o but_o they_o this_o i_o propound_v to_o every_o man_n consideration_n that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o christian_n that_o be_v those_o that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v may_v know_v what_o they_o lose_v by_o it_o and_o those_o that_o be_v may_v understand_v the_o happiness_n of_o their_o condition_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o magnify_v it_o and_o to_o bless_v themselves_o in_o that_o condition_n that_o they_o have_v such_o a_o great_a privilege_n as_o this_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o ask_v and_o have_v therefore_o that_o which_o in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o exhort_v you_o to_o be_v this_o namely_o to_o spend_v time_n in_o the_o meditation_n of_o it_o to_o consider_v what_o a_o great_a advantage_n it_o be_v david_n can_v satisfy_v himself_o enough_o in_o it_o in_o 18._o and_o 116._o psalm_n lord_n i_o love_v thou_o dear_o he_o can_v praise_v enough_o and_o why_o i_o seek_v to_o thou_o in_o

the_o thanks_n we_o owe_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o so_o a_o exceed_a privilege_n that_o whatsoever_o our_o case_n be_v it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o put_v up_o our_o request_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v

the_o promise_n that_o belong_v either_o to_o this_o life_n or_o to_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v even_o as_o you_o see_v among_o man_n a_o courtier_n a_o favourite_n in_o the_o court_n get●_n

do_v not_o make_v a_o profession_n get_v not_o knowledge_n in_o the_o brain_n only_o but_o act_n it_o too_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o other_o man_n disciple_n if_o a_o man_n follow_v aristotle_n or_o any_o other_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o know_v and_o hold_v his_o tenet_n but_o he_o that_o will_v follow_v christ_n must_v follow_v and_o do_v his_o precept_n must_v

will_v say_v you_o do_v practice_v what_o you_o hear_v answ._n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o as_o samuel_n do_v to_o saul_n when_o he_o tell_v he_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o

which_o we_o see_v what_o mean_v all_o these_o if_o you_o keep_v the_o commandment_n those_o that_o follow_v christ_n do_v acknowledge_v he_o they_o practise_v what_o they_o hear_v and_o no_o more_o 2_o second_o if_o all_o that_o look_v for_o any_o interest_n in_o christ_n must_v follow_v he_o this_o exclude_v all_o those_o who_o say_v they_o be_v jew_n and_o be_v not_o rev._n 2.9_o such_o as_o
