§. 49. Of praying for Friends.
3 Such as God hath linked unto us by any outward natural & civill bonds,1 as Kindred, Alliance, Neighbourhood, Friendship, Office, or the like. Now the nearer •hese bonds be, the more especially must we pray one for •other.r The nearest outward bond is Matrimony,⟨p. 388⟩ therefore husbands and wives must most especially pray one for another, ass Isaac for Rebecca: then parents and children, ast Abram for Ismael: next brothers and sisters, asu Joseph for Benjamin: & masters & servants, asx Abrams servant prayed for his Master.y The blessing which God bestowed on Potiphar for Josephs sake, showeth that Joseph prayed for his Master: likewise such kindred as are out of the family one for another, and neighbour for neighbour, friend for friend, countryman for countryman, &c.
