- *§. 27.
The manner of praying with a steadfast faith (signified by holding up the hand) is the point here to be especially observed. For, faith to prayer is as fire to powder. In it the life, vigour, and power of prayer consisteth. By faith prayer flieth 1up to heaven, as Daniels did, Dan. 10. 12. By faith it is made acceptable to God, as Abel's was, Hebr. 11. 4. By faith it prevails with God, as Jacobs did, Hos. 12. 4. By faith it turns away Gods wrath, as Moses did, Exo. 32. 14. By faith it obtains sufficient grace, as Pauls did, 2 Cor. 12. 9.
