most_o absurd_a thing_n to_o worship_v a_o object_n that_o be_v altogether_o absent_a as_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v according_a unto_o these_o presbyterian_a teacher_n we_o know_v how_o the_o prophet_n elijah_n mock_v baal_n worshipper_n with_o a_o godly_a zeal_n and_o indignation_n on_o this_o account_n as_o suppose_v he_o in_o their_o account_n as_o a_o absent_a god_n cry_v aloud_o say_v he_o for_o perhaps_o he_o be_v asleep_a or_o have_v take_v a_o journey_n as_o for_o we_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v worship_v a_o absent_a christ_n or_o call_v upon_o a_o saviour_n to_o

not_o some_o sense_n of_o his_o presence_n be_v real_a idolater_n for_o they_o pretend_v to_o worship_v a_o object_n which_o want_v a_o property_n altogether_o essential_a to_o a_o object_n of_o divine_a worship_n that_o be_v real_a presence_n 11._o nor_o be_v it_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o say_v he_o be_v present_a as_o god_n but_o not_o as_o man_n for_o if_o the_o man_n be_v not_o present_a he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v and_o if_o he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o most_o certain_o he_o be_v than_o he_o be_v present_a for_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a motive_n of_o worship_n and_o prayer_n that_o he_o who_o we_o worship_v and_o call_v upon_o be_v present_a to_o help_v we_o as_o david_n call_v he_o ●_o present_a help_v in_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o we_o be_v command_v to_o come_v and_o worship_n before_o his_o presence_n 12._o but_o again_o our_o pray_v to_o the_o man_n jesus_n do_v imply_v that_o he_o do_v real_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o be_v

be_v impossible_a that_o he_o can_v hear_v we_o and_o be_v sensible_a of_o our_o prayer_n and_o especial_o of_o our_o thought_n if_o he_o be_v not_o immediate_o present_a in_o we_o and_o with_o we_o for_o to_o say_v that_o his_o godhead_n do_v reveal_v our_o prayer_n and_o thought_n unto_o the_o manhood_n do_v no_o wise_a answer_n the_o strength_n of_o this_o reason_n for_o hear_v and_o

not_o so_o reach_v and_o that_o can_v be_v proper_o call_v hear_v our_o prayer_n or_o be_v sensible_a of_o they_o as_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v reveal_v immediate_o to_o a_o man_n in_o persia_n or_o china_n that_o i_o be_o pray_v here_o at_o such_o a_o distance_n that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o hear_v i_o pray_v or_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o very_a breathe_n of_o my_o soul_n as_o

be_v such_o a_o slender_a and_o deceitful_a evasion_n &_o answer_n as_o the_o papist_n use_v common_o to_o give_v when_o we_o bring_v this_o reason_n against_o their_o pray_v unto_o saint_n and_o
