§. 45. Of fainting in prayer.
III. *Saints are prone to faint in their fervency of prayer. These phrases (a I am weary of my crying: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. bMy flesh and my heart faileth. cI complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. dO my God, my soul is cast down within me. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? why art thou disquieted in me?) These and many other such like phrases used by Saints, give too great evidence of their proneness to faint. ePeters sinking when he walked upon the waters. fThe Disciples fear when a storm arose. gTheir drowsiness when Christ took them with him in the garden to pray, do all manifest their proneness to faint, to wax heavy, and dull.
