will_v not_o regard_v he_o man_n will_v not_o serve_v he_o therefore_o i_o say_v of_o necessity_n god_n must_v have_v mercy_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o may_v fear_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o that_o man_n may_v be_v willing_a to_o serve_v take_v a_o hard_a master_n a_o cruel_a king_n a_o man_n that_o shut_v out_o man_n and_o exclude_v they_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n there_o be_v none_o

for_o the_o second_o objection_n three_o object_n it_o will_v be_v object_v it_o be_v true_a if_o god_n do_v hear_v my_o prayer_n prayer_n or_o if_o he_o do_v usual_o hear_v the_o prayer_n that_o the_o saint_n make_v that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o seek_v and_o have_v we_o will_v trust_v in_o god_n in_o difficult_a case_n but_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o i_o pray_v and_o he_o do_v

there_o be_v many_o case_n wherein_o god_n hear_v not_o sometime_o as_o first_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o ask_v amiss_o object_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v my_o heart_n be_v right_a and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v i_o ask_v not_o amiss_o ans._n yes_o though_o thy_o heart_n be_v right_a thou_o may_v ask_v amiss_o amiss_o out_o of_o mistake_n out_o of_o want_n of_o judgement_n thou_o must_v not_o think_v with_o thyself_o because_o thy_o affection_n be_v strong_a to_o such_o a_o thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o thou_o and_o meet_v for_o thou_o to_o have_v it_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o a_o little_a child_n ask_v which_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o he_o a_o wise_a father_n will_v not_o second_v his_o child_n in_o all_o that_o he_o affect_v and_o desire_n thou_o must_v think_v that_o god_n will_v not_o do_v it_o in_o these_o case_n and_o therefore_o learn_v in_o such_o a_o case_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o god_n for_o outward_a thing_n or_o for_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n or_o for_o the_o present_a use_n of_o grace_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v hereafter_o it_o may_v be_v he_o answer_v thou_o not_o yet_o thou_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v only_o wise_a if_o we_o can_v remember_v that_o in_o 1_o tim._n 1.19_o to_o the_o king_n only_o wise_a be_v glory_n and_o immortality_n we_o think_v ourselves_o wise_a too_o we_o think_v that_o we_o have_v some_o part_n of_o wisdom_n but_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v only_o wise_a that_o be_v if_o thou_o do_v believe_v that_o none_o be_v wise_a but_o he_o thou_o will_v be_v content_a toresigne_n thyself_o unto_o he_o let_v he_o do_v with_o thou_o what_o he_o will_v although_o thou_o see_v no_o reason_n yet_o thou_o will_v be_v content_a therefore_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o ask_v at_o god_n hand_n thou_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v thus_o lord_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o i_o may_v be_v deceive_v i_o may_v be_v mistake_v therefore_o i_o will_v not_o ask_v it_o absolute_o it_o may_v be_v the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v better_a for_o i_o then_o the_o enjoy_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v to_o be_v cross_v in_o it_o be_v better_a for_o i_o then_o to_o have_v success_n in_o it_o thou_o be_v only_o wise_a i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o judge_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o ask_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n thus_o we_o shall_v do_v paul_n when_o he_o come_v to_o ask_v the_o mortification_n of_o his_o fleshly_a lust_n 12._o 2_o cor._n 12._o one_o will_v think_v he_o may_v have_v ask_v that_o absolute_o we_o can_v see_v how_o god_n shall_v not_o hear_v that_o prayer_n and_o yet_o in_o that_o case_n paul_n be_v mistake_v god_n see_v it_o be_v best_a to_o suffer_v that_o lust_n to_o continue_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o contend_v with_o he_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v free_a from_o this_o strong_a temptation_n for_o say_v he_o by_o this_o i_o will_v humble_v thou_o thou_o shall_v have_v a_o better_a grace_n than_o thou_o shall_v have_v if_o that_o lust_n be_v take_v away_o when_o paul_n see_v that_o the_o continuance_n of_o that_o upon_o he_o it_o humble_v he_o more_o that_o it_o bring_v more_o glory_n to_o god_n that_o it_o show_v god_n power_n in_o his_o weakness_n he_o be_v content_a he_o see_v that_o he_o be_v deceive_v before_o i_o say_v in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o man_n may_v be_v deceive_v much_o more_o in_o outward_a thing_n you_o know_v the_o disciple_n when_o they_o come_v to_o ask_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o zealous_a request_n but_o christ_n tell_v

be_v deceive_v so_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v god_n hear_v thy_o prayer_n know_v whether_o they_o come_v from_o god_n spirit_n whether_o thy_o prayer_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o thy_o own_o spirit_n or_o of_o god_n spirit_n if_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n spirit_n he_o hear_v it_o always_o because_o it_o ask_v according_a to_o his_o will_n our_o spirit_n may_v ask_v that_o which_o be_v

i_o have_v be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n i_o have_v break_v the_o covenant_n with_o he_o i_o continue_v not_o in_o that_o good_a estate_n that_o out_o of_o his_o mercy_n he_o have_v put_v i_o into_o
