§. 5. Of the obiect of Prayer, God onely.
Thus is the desire to be opened, and that to God: which David well knew, and therefore saith,i Lord, all my desire is before thee: 2yea to God alone: for Prayer is a principal part of divine service: Butk God only shalt thou serve. Oft are we in holy Scripture called upon, to call upon God,4 but never by precept, promise, or any other way warranted to call on any other. The true Saints, whose prayers have been approved, have ever prayed unto God, never unto any other. And that upon just and weighty reasons.
