§. 95. Of extraordinary prayer.
The last distinction of prayer, is ordinary and extraordinary. All the forenamed kinds are ordinary, therefore I shall not need to speak of it.
THe last distinction of prayer, is ordinary and extraordinary. All the forenamed kinds are ordinary, therefore I shall not need to speake of it.
Extraordinary prayer, 1is that which after an extraordinary manner, even above our usual custom, is poured out before God This consisteth partly in ardency of affection, and partly in continuance of time.q The King of Nineveh required an extraordinary ardency, when he commanded his people to cry mightily unto God. We have a memorable example hereof in Moses, who was so earnest in his prayer, thatr rather then not have his petition granted, he desired to be razed out of Gods Book. Christs ardency yet exceeded this; it is noted that he prayeds earnestly, twith strong crying and tears. Yea his ardency made his sweat to be as great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
