We must take •eede, that we suffer not as ill doers, and that the Lord find us not lying in some sins: for then we cannot in truth use the Prophets prayer for the like mercies, in that we have not with the Prophet the like graces. If we then fall in unbelief, or in time of trouble possess not our souls in patience, let us not hope for this mercy: but if in1 a right cause, we have walked uprightly under hope of the like grace, we may pray for the like mercy.

That love thy name. Whatsoever love he had to God, he would not express it by showing it to the Lord, but by testifying it to his word. The name of every person or thing serveth1 especially as we know, to make them known to us, and to discern them from other in that kind. So is it in the name of the Lord, whose name is set down to us Exod. 33. and 34. by the Lord himself speaking to Moses, The Lord passed before his face, and cried, the Lord, the Lord, strong, merciful and gracious, &c. We see what is the name of the Lord, the eternity, wisdom, power, strength, and goodness of the Lord: for all these things abide in him, and spring from him to his creatures as from a fountain.
