But Christ bids pray for the Spirit; this implieth that men without the Spirit may notwithstanding pray and be heard. Answ. Christians ought to pray for the Spirit, that is, for more of it, though God hath endued them with it already. Quest. Then would you have none pray but those that know they are the disciples of Christ? Answ. Yes.
"Never answer became thee better. Now I know thou cost but seek assurance to justify the trust I have come to ask, and that such assurance is of more interest to thee than the affairs of my poor life." The sheik in his turn bowed, and Ben-Hur hastened to pursue his advantage. "So it please thee then," he said, "first, I am not a Roman, as the name given thee as mine implieth."
For even those that have received the word of the Lord, had need wait for wisdom, that they may see how to divide the word aright: which plainly implieth, that it is possible for one that hath received the word of the Lord, to miss in the dividing and application of it; which must come from an impatiency of spirit, and a self-working, which makes an unsound and dangerous mixture, and will hardly beget a right-minded living people to God.
But the righteousness under consideration, with which the man, in that of John, is made righteous, is a perfect righteousness; not only with respect to the nature of it, as a penny is as perfect silver as a shilling; nor yet with respect to a comparative degree; for so a shilling arriveth more toward the perfection of the number twenty, than doth a two-penny or a three-penny piece: but it is a righteousness so perfect, that nothing can be added to it, nor can any thing be taken from it: for so implieth the words of the text, "he is righteous, as Christ is righteous."
I also observe, That this extempore prayer of the Pharisee, was performed by himself, or in the strength of his own natural parts; for so the text implieth, "The Pharisee," saith the text, "stood and prayed thus with himself," with himself, or by himself, and may signify, either that he spoke softly, or that he made this prayer by reason of his natural parts.
Wherefore Israel of old were checked, under a supposition of placing their hope for temporals in men; 'It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. This implieth that there is in us an incidency to forget God our hope, and to put confidence in something else.
Yea, this ego, with its contradiction and perplexity, speaketh most uprightly of its being this creating, willing, evaluing ego, which is the measure and value of things. And this most upright existence, the ego it speaketh of the body, and still implieth the body, even when it museth and raveth and fluttereth with broken wings.
Why should I blot paper with such a vanity, which implieth a contradiction, bodily and not bodily, spiritually and not spiritually. Sect. 17. The sixth and last argument whereby I prove the kneeling in question to be idolatry, is taken from the nature and kind of the worship wherein it is used.
Verily, that part of the writing which can still be read implieth this, for thus much may at this day be discerned.... CRUCIS SALVATOR SANCTI PETRI PORTO. Of the four limbs of this cross the upper one is wanting.
I have shown in the first part of this dispute how conscience is sought to be bound by the law of the ceremonies, and here, by the way, no less may be drawn from Hall’s words, which now I examine; for he implieth in them that we are bound to obey the statutes about the ceremonies merely for their authority’s sake who command us, though there be no other thing in the ceremonies themselves which can commend them to us.
