As for outward evils so long as they do not (as it were) enforce thy people to sin, in that christen profession doth account them amongst thy benefits: thy son hath not taught thy church to pray for the taking away of them in this prayer, for here he hath contained but those things, for the which all Christians generally and particularly may of faith pray at all times. It often cometh to pass that exterior evils, because they be not evils in deed, that is they are not against God's grace in us, therefore they cannot of faith be prayed for to be taken away, for thy children y• have faith, do always prefer thy Judgement before their own, the which Judgement w•en they know by that which happeneth to them, they submit themselves there to wholly, although the spirit make his unspeakable groanings to help their infirmities by prayer, not to have them taken away, but y• they ⟨image 74⟩might have strength and patience to bear the burden accordingly, which burden if it be to heavy in the better sense and feeling thereof, they in their prayers do complain some thing, rather then pray to have it taken away, as our saviour did in the garden when he added to his complaint not my will but thy will be done. So do thy people in all their complaints add, not as we will but as thou wilt, for they are taught by thy spirit no otherwise to pray for the taking away of corporal evils either from them selves or from others, onlesse they by the same spirit do certainly see the same to make to thy glory: as did thine Apostles and servants, when absolutely & without condition they did ask health or miracle for any, when they healed or raised the dead by prayer: for they know nothing can be better than when it is according to thy will. Oh that I might always know thy will in all things, and for ever apply me self thereto. Hereof it cometh that thy saints and dear children which ⟨image 74⟩love their neighbours as themselves, do yet notwithstanding in their prayers ask vengeance of some, as we may read in the psalms of David, because in praying & talking with thee they see by thy holy spirit (for with out it is no true prayer) sometimes thy Judgements upon some which they perceive to sin to death, and therefore ought not to be prayed for, but rather to be prayed against, because thy glory cannot be set forth as it should be without their destruction:
As for outward euills so longe as they doe not (as it were) inforce thy people to sinne, in that christen professiō doth accompte them amongst thy benefites: thy sonne hathe not taught thy church to pray for the taking away of thē in this praier, for here he hath cōtained but those thinges, for ye which al Christians generally and particularly may of faith pray at all times. It often commeth to passe that exteriour euilles, because they be not euells in dede, that is they are not against goddes grace in vs, therefore they cannot of faith be praied for to be taken away, for thy childrē y• haue faith, do alwaies preferre thy Iudgement before their owne, the which Iudgement w•en thei know by that which hapneth to them, they submite themselues ther to wholly, although the spirit make his vnspeakable gronings to helpe their infirmities by prayer, not to haue them taken awaye, but y• they ⟨image 74⟩might haue strenght and pacience to beare the burthē accordingly, which burden if it be to heauy in the better sense and feling therof, they in their praiers doe complaine some thyng, rather then pray to haue it taken away, as oure sauiour did in the garden whē he added to his complainte not my will but thy wil be done. So do thi people in al their complaints adde, not as we wil but as yu wilte, for they are taught by thy spirite no otherwise to praye for the takynge away of corporall euelles either frō them selues or from others, onlesse they by the same spirite doe certainly se the same to make to thy glory: as dyd thine Apostles and seruantes, when absolutly & without condition they dyd aske health or miracle for any, whē they healed or raised the deade by prayer: for they know nothinge can be better than when it is according to thy wil. Oh that I might alwaies know thy wil in al things, and for euer applye me self therto. Hereof it commeth that thy saynts and deare children which ⟨image 74⟩loue their neighbours as thēselues, do yet notwithstāding in their praiers aske vengeaunce of some, as we may reade in the psalmes of Dauid, because in prayinge & talking with thee they se by thy holy spirit (for wt out it is no true praier) sometimes thy Iudgements vpon some whiche they perceiue to sinne to death, and therfore ought not to be praied for, but rather to be praied against, because thy glory cānot be set forth as it shuld be without their destructiō:
