We have heard before of many graces needful for a right manner of prayer, which I will not here repeat, but only show how all things must be asked with subjection of our will unto Gods will.1 For this end respect must be had to Gods promises. For every acceptable prayer is made in faith: Faith hath an eye to Gods promises, and resteth thereon: as God hath promised any thing, so the faithful ask it in Prayer. Things absolutely promised, they crave absolutely, asi Moses, who would not let God alone, till he had spared his people, butk desired to be raced out of Gods Book, rather then his people should be destroyed: and why? because God had made an absolute promise to bring them into Canaan, lwhich promise Moses pleadeth unto God in his prayer.
