have_v no_o marvel_n than_o they_o find_v it_o not_o and_o yet_o persuade_v themselves_o they_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n what_o they_o desire_v every_o man_n in_o his_o peculiar_a affection_n and_o well_o may_v it_o be_v say_v in_o some_o measure_n for_o that_o in_o what_o measure_n soever_o they_o have_v that_o they_o crave_v yet_o they_o want_v the_o fullness_n of_o what_o they_o desire_v and_o therefore_o can_v there_o be_v no_o full_a content_n for_o where_o there_o be_v want_v some_o thing_n the_o want_n of_o the_o thing_n desire_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o inevitable_a misery_n and_o distraction_n of_o the_o mind_n these_o thing_n due_o consider_v a_o kind_n of_o voluntary_a blindness_n or_o rather_o desperate_a madness_n seem_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o most_o who_o contrary_a to_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o will_v to_o use_v this_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v it_o not_o use_v only_o this_o world_n and_o the_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o the_o same_o as_o if_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o either_o they_o shall_v ever_o remain_v here_o or_o that_o after_o this_o there_o will_v be_v no_o other_o be_v whereas_o the_o contrary_a be_v most_o

red-sea_n that_o we_o may_v arrive_v in_o heavenly_a canaan_n the_o place_n of_o true_a felicity_n happiness_n and_o absolute_a content_n in_o deed_n for_o the_o great_a pleasure_n and_o dear_a delight_n that_o this_o world_n can_v yield_v be_v like_o the_o unsavoury_a water_n of_o asphaltis_n or_o the_o sea_n of_o sodom_n whereof_o who_o so_o drink_v infatuate_v or_o die_v instant_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v account_v the_o happy_a man_n that_o be_v even_o drink_v with_o this_o world_n vanity_n therefore_o do_v the_o true_o wise_a pass_n by_o they_o as_o it_o be_v disdain_v to_o stoop_v to_o such_o deceive_a allurement_n stop_v their_o ear_n with_o ulysses_n lest_o these_o forbid_a vanity_n shall_v inchant_v they_o and_o with_o their_o seem_a sweet_a infect_v

not_o to_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o to_o take_v all_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n of_o the_o same_o &_o to_o lose_v their_o own_o soul_n the_o best_a thing_n then_o that_o we_o be_v

for_o if_o worldly_a man_n take_v so_o much_o pain_n for_o the_o get_n of_o the_o vanish_v thing_n of_o this_o world_n counterfeit_a happiness_n it_o may_v well_o be_v impute_v not_o only_o as_o a_o shame_n unto_o we_o but_o a_o judgement_n upon_o we_o if_o we_o neglect_v the_o absolute_a best_a thing_n the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o the_o study_n of_o righteousness_n and_o hatred_n of_o sin_n the_o contrary_a end_n of_o both_o be_v set_v before_o we_o namely_o as_o touch_v sin_n wherein_o the_o best_a man_n have_v once_o defile_v himself_o how_o much_o more_o the_o wicked_a what_o fruit_n have_v they_o in_o it_o only_o shame_n and_o grief_n and_o in_o the_o end_n death_n eternal_a without_o repentance_n therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o now_o to_o cast_v off_o sin_n the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o pride_n of_o life_n to_o which_o thing_n whosoever_o be_v or_o have_v be_v servant_n while_o he_o live_v therein_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o seek_v to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o servitude_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o become_v servant_n unto_o god_n so_o shall_v we_o have_v our_o fruit_n in_o holiness_n and_o in_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o great_a happiness_n that_o we_o can_v desire_v or_o attain_v unto_o either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v for_o the_o obtain_n whereof_o every_o christian_a be_v to_o be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o same_o indevor_v to_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a conversation_n here_o to_o which_o be_v require_v the_o due_a and_o diligent_a hear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o the_o true_a practice_n of_o the_o same_o and_o faithful_a prayer_n to_o he_o by_o these_o two_o rule_n right_o observe_v a_o man_n become_v by_o acceptation_n perfect_a and_o by_o imputation_n just_a to_o attain_v unto_o this_o degree_n of_o perfection_n and_o happiness_n it_o lie_v not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n we_o can_v hear_v without_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o none_o that_o hear_v understandeth_v but_o he_o who_o ear_n the_o lord_n open_v carnal_a man_n may_v hear_v indeed_o but_o not_o profit_v by_o hear_v unless_o god_n open_v also_o their_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v the_o heart_n of_o lydia_n for_o both_o the_o word_n hear_v understand_v and_o practice_n be_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n prayer_n also_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o be_v god_n spirit_n by_o who_o we_o pray_v and_o faith_n in_o which_o we_o pray_v and_o the_o assurance_n to_o obtain_v that_o for_o which_o we_o pray_v how_o many_o man_n yet_o be_v there_o of_o conceit_n that_o they_o can_v pray_v when_o they_o list_v and_o how_o they_o list_v as_o if_o earnest_a and_o true_o cordial_a prayer_n be_v as_o familiar_a with_o they_o as_o to_o tell_v a_o tale_n liplabour_v babble_a indeed_o be_v as_o easy_a as_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o this_o kind_n of_o say_v prayer_n be_v not_o indeed_o prayer_n but_o prattle_v a_o mock_n of_o god_n and_o he_o deceive_v himself_o that_o so_o speak_v prayer_n a_o great_a man_n will_v take_v scorn_n to_o have_v a_o tale_n tell_v he_o when_o he_o that_o tell_v it_o speak_v he_o know_v not_o what_o his_o mind_n be_v upon_o some_o other_o matter_n will_v god_n then_o accept_v of_o those_o prayer_n which_o only_o be_v

consent_v not_o nay_o if_o the_o mind_n the_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o the_o understanding_n agree_v not_o with_o the_o mouth_n though_o the_o word_n be_v good_a the_o prayer_n be_v counterfeit_a true_a and_o fervent_a faithful_a and_o feel_a prayer_n will_v easy_o be_v disern_v from_o cold_a and_o counterfeit_n for_o whereas_o a_o man_n may_v fluent_o without_o stop_n or_o stagger_v pour_v forth_o many_o and_o good_a word_n either_o by_o heart_n or_o book_n think_v that_o god_n have_v enough_o if_o he_o have_v many_o and_o good_a word_n he_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o do_v but_o flatter_v god_n &_o so_o commit_v sin_n instead_o of_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o the_o prayer_n that_o please_v god_n and_o profit_v a_o man_n self_n come_v from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o lip_n or_o the_o heart_n itself_o sigh_n and_o groan_n unto_o god_n in_o such_o vehemency_n of_o spirit_n as_o if_o not_o with_o outward_a tear_n yet_o do_v the_o heart_n rend_v itself_o within_o through_o the_o fervency_n of_o zeal_n and_o power_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n which_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v effectual_a and_o please_v to_o god_n it_o behoove_v therefore_o every_o man_n to_o be_v wary_a how_o he_o pray_v lest_o he_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n and_o so_o instead_o of_o be_v hear_v to_o his_o comfort_n he_o be_v reject_v with_o shame_n prayer_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o tongue_n only_o which_o be_v proper_a as_o well_o to_o the_o wicked_a as_o to_o the_o godly_a but_o prayer_n be_v a_o divine_a exercise_n of_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n and_o therefore_o before_o we_o presume_v to_o approach_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n with_o our_o petition_n we_o must_v due_o and_o reverent_o consider_v to_o who_o we_o speak_v
