§. 39. Of assisting one another in extraordinary prayer.
I. *IN extraordinary prayer mutual assistance of Saints is useful. It is expressly recorded that Hezekiah the King, and Isaiah the prophet (both of them) prayed and cried to heaven when Sennacherib invaded Jerusalem with an huge host. The destruction of that host followed thereupon, 2 Chro. 32. 20, 21. Esther, as she sent to the Jews to fast for her, so she and her maidens fasted together, Esth. 4. 16. Daniel, though a man powerful in prayer desired the assistance of his three companions, when he begged an extraordinary favour of God, Dan. 2. 17. 18. Yea, Christ himself, the Mediator betwixt God and man, when in the days of his flesh he withdrew himself to that extraordinary prayer which he made that very night wherein he was apprehended, took three of his prime Disciples, and calls on them to watch and pray, Mat. 26. 37, 41.
