indeed_o we_o can_v so_o long_o as_o we_o dwell_v in_o these_o weak_a house_n of_o clay_n yet_o we_o must_v still_o aspire_v to_o a_o better_a life_n desire_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n to_o serve_v

first_o to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v dispatch_v of_o our_o worldly_a bread_n ear_n and_o have_v thing_n necessary_a aforehand_o we_o may_v with_o more_o liberty_n seek_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o concern_v the_o soul_n second_o that_o find_v the_o lord_n easy_a to_o yield_v in_o these_o thing_n of_o less_o good_a we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o embolden_v to_o solicit_v he_o for_o the_o

will_v stand_v with_o he_o for_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n will_v easy_o think_v that_o god_n will_v stand_v with_o he_o for_o eternal_a life_n q_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o bread_n in_o this_o place_n a._n not_o only_o bread_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v as_o needful_a and_o as_o comfortable_a as_o bread_n as_o health_n and_o strength_n to_o work_v in_o our_o calling_n house_n to_o

in_o tentation_n and_o yet_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n a._n first_o by_o withdraw_v his_o grace_n and_o leave_v we_o to_o ourselves_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v send_v another_o his_o staff_n to_o

god_n have_v lend_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o walk_v by_o when_o we_o begin_v to_o think_v we_o stand_v not_o any_o way_n behold_v to_o he_o for_o it_o but_o that_o we_o can_v shift_v as_o well_o without_o it_o the_o lord_n withdraw_v his_o grace_n and_o we_o â—unne_v into_o sin_n and_o yet_o god_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o our_o own_o weakness_n not_o able_a to_o bear_v

try_v whether_o his_o servant_n or_o his_o son_n will_v steal_v it_o so_o god_n send_v fear_n to_o tempt_v we_o to_o see_v if_o we_o will_v yield_v to_o fear_v pride_n to_o tempt_v we_o etc._n etc._n if_o we_o do_v yield_v it_o be_v our_o fault_n not_o god_n who_o do_v but_o vent_v we_o and_o set_v we_o a_o broach_n and_o discover_v the_o bad_a liquor_n that_o be_v in_o us._n three_o by_o cause_v

we_o know_v our_o own_o weakness_n to_o be_v so_o great_a and_o unable_a to_o resist_v temptation_n that_o we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v tempt_v so_o ready_a we_o be_v to_o yield_v to_o

in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o brethren_n for_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v a_o part_n in_o our_o prayer_n so_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n have_v do_v before_o we_o david_n say_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n 6._o peace_n be_v within_o thy_o wall_n

whereupon_o a_o angel_n come_v fly_v unto_o he_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n thus_o by_o the_o 16._o rule_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o in_o faith_n but_o for_o our_o brethren_n also_o in_o love_n and_o compassion_n and_o fellow_n feel_v of_o the_o want_n &_o need_v one_o of_o another_o when_o many_o ship_n trade_n and_o

some_o for_o peace_n of_o conscience_n some_o for_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o yet_o all_o in_o the_o end_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o

that_o be_v with_o undoubted_a assurance_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v us._n and_o because_o the_o great_a question_n be_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o not_o many_o especial_o among_o christian_n i_o suppose_v doubt_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n christ_n first_o resolve_v and_o settle_v we_o in_o that_o point_n and_o show_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o because_o he_o be_v our_o

be_v daily_a bread_n and_o in_o the_o other_o first_o pardon_v for_o sin_n second_o for_o grace_n against_o they_o 2_o why_o this_o petition_n be_v link_v to_o the_o former_a by_o a_o coniunctive_a

be_v for_o two_o special_a reason_n first_o because_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o careful_a for_o worldly_a thing_n but_o to_o be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a mind_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v discreet_a in_o our_o demand_n and_o not_o dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o earthly_a thing_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n who_o use_v to_o pray_v not_o to_o care_v how_o long_o they_o continue_v their_o suit_n for_o daily_a bread_n be_v please_v to_o conclude_v all_o under_o that_o as_o hosh._n 7._o 14._o the_o lord_n complain_v they_o assemble_v themselves_o for_o 14._o their_o corn_n and_o wine_n the_o thing_n that_o they_o only_o think_v on_o and_o care_n for_o so_o as_o they_o can_v be_v content_v continual_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o wherein_o our_o saviour_n christ_n perceive_v a_o natural_a corruption_n in_o we_o will_v therefore_o have_v we_o soon_o to_o have_v do_v with_o this_o thing_n and_o by_o and_o by_o to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o better_a to_o seek_v more_o pertinent_a matter_n pardon_v of_o sin_n salvation_n of_o soul_n strength_n and_o mean_n to_o live_v holy_o without_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n will_v turn_v to_o nothing_o though_o we_o have_v as_o much_o as_o sea_n and_o land_n can_v afford_v we_o so_o that_o as_o bird_n which_o dip_v dip_v into_o the_o sea_n to_o get_v their_o food_n soar_v up_o again_o and_o quick_o rise_v lest_o they_o shall_v dull_v their_o wing_n and_o wet_v their_o feather_n that_o they_o can_v fly_v so_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o dive_v too_o deep_a into_o the_o world_n bring_v our_o affection_n so_o low_a as_o we_o can_v mount_v and_o raise_v up_o our_o heavy_a heart_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o those_o heavenly_a

our_o heart_n up_o and_o our_o thought_n as_o high_a as_o heaven_n to_o the_o love_n and_o meditation_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o a_o garden_n you_o see_v when_o man_n have_v store_n of_o heavy_a

there_o be_v four_o impediment_n of_o repentance_n first_o because_o man_n do_v not_o know_v or_o find_v themselves_o to_o be_v sick_a of_o sin_n nor_o will_v have_v other_o to_o think_v they_o sick_a they_o presume_v therefore_o that_o all_o be_v well_o with_o they_o for_o they_o know_v neither_o disease_n nor_o infirmity_n and_o so_o because_o they_o live_v as_o other_o live_v and_o do_v as_o

repent_v this_o be_v the_o first_o impediment_n in_o judgement_n when_o man_n do_v not_o find_v themselves_o sick_a in_o sin_n impediment_n 2_o the_o second_o be_v when_o man_n know_v themselves_o to_o be_v sick_a of_o sin_n but_o do_v not_o think_v their_o sin_n to_o be_v deadly_a they_o think_v indeed_o they_o have_v some_o frailty_n some_o imperfection_n some_o petty_a sin_n some_o small_a

think_v repentance_n be_v needful_a yet_o we_o need_v not_o say_v some_o so_o strict_a a_o kind_n of_o repentance_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o if_o a_o man_n can_v say_v lord_n forgive_v i_o

impediment_n in_o the_o judgement_n which_o hinder_v and_o keep_v back_o repentance_n either_o that_o we_o do_v not_o find_v ourselves_o to_o be_v sinner_n or_o though_o we_o be_v sinner_n yet_o not_o

yet_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o so_o strict_a a_o repentance_n now_o as_o there_o be_v these_o impediment_n in_o the_o judgement_n so_o there_o be_v also_o in_o the_o affection_n diverse_a

answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o general_n and_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a repentance_n general_n repentance_n be_v at_o a_o man_n first_o conversion_n than_o he_o repent_v of_o all_o his_o sin_n particular_a repentance_n be_v when_o a_o man_n repent_v of_o some_o one_o particular_a sin_n which_o be_v commit_v after_o now_o a_o man_n may_v repent_v general_o for_o all_o his_o

own_o nature_n and_o so_o general_n repentance_n can_v but_o work_v a_o general_a dislike_n of_o sin_n now_o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v mislike_v sin_n in_o general_a and_o yet_o fall_v into_o

or_o not_o answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v repent_v true_o of_o particular_a sin_n such_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v not_o easy_o fall_v into_o they_o

after_o repentance_n yet_o he_o very_o seldom_o so_o fall_v there_o be_v some_o who_o think_v that_o if_o one_o have_v true_o repent_v of_o a_o particular_a sin_n he_o never_o fall_v into_o it_o
