the

of God
in
the

of
his
grace to
the
foul,
if
thou
thinkefl:
God
will
pardon
fome
fins, and
give
thee
liberty
in
others
:
thou fottifh foul,
know that when thou
goeft
to
God
for pardon
of

a

from

Yhofe
that
never
lookafter their
Prayers
to
call
it
into
Q
e-
fl'ion
what
anfwer
they
have
had
;
I
have
prayed
to
God,
but
have
I
got any anfwer
in
my
own
heart,
or
hash
God
come
in,
in
any
Ordinance,and
fealed
to
me
my
pardon? thus the
foul
fhould
look after pardon
in
Prayer,
and all
other
means
;
Many
pray,
but never
look after
their
Prayers
whether God
hear
or no,Pfal.

I
will
hear
and
hear
n
what
the
Lord
God
will
fpeak;
thus the
Pfalmiß,
and
thus
it
would
be
with
thee,if
thou didfl not
dally
with
God
;
after thou haft
cryed for pardon, thou wouldtl
be
líftning
at
Heavens
gates,
and
looking towards
God
;
What
anfwer doth God
give
?
I
have
prayed
and
there
comes
no
an-
fwer,
the
foul
that
lets it
felf
in
a
folid and ferious
way
to
Peek
for
pardon, will
be
often
looking
out,
and
remain much
trou-
bled
till an
anfwer
come
:
Many cry
for pardon,
but are
not
troubled
till
God
give
anfwer, they
deal with
God
as
Pilate
did
with
Chrift,
askt
him
What
is
Truth
?
but never flayed
to
have
an
anfwer,
but
went
his
way
:
fo
we do but
dally with
God
in
our Prayers
and
Petitions, when
we
ask
for
forgtvenefs
of
fin,
and
neglec$
to look after an
anfwer.
4.As
thofe
that
look,not
after
the
anfwer
of their Prayers dai-
ly
with
God,
fo
thofe
that
follow not
their
Prayers with anfwera-
ble
indeavdth
s :
they Petition
that
God
would
be
merciful unto
them
.,
but
what are the
indeavours
of your
fouls
after
your Pe-
titioning
?
if
there
be
not indeavours to
attend
upon
the
means
of
grace
that God
ufes
to fpeak peace
to
fouls
in,
all
your
Prayers
are nothing
;
but
of
this
I
(hall
fpeak
afterwards,
you
are
to
fearch
into
the
Covenant,
and enquire after
the
Saints
what
courfe they
have
taken,
and
what
means
they
have
ufed.to
oh-
tain
pardon.
5.Thofe
that
pray
for
pardon,yet are
fatisfied
with
other
things;
as
thus, they
pray for pardon,
but
if
the world
come in
they
are
fatisfied
;.
