in vain should affl ctions (which are Gods hammer) strike on our hearts, should nor God holy Spirit, which is compared to fire, both soften our hearts, and enlighten us to see our duties towards him, and teach us to make use of the affliction wherewith we are exercised. Moreover faith importuneth the Lord for mercy and deliverance.1 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies sake. 2Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make hast to help me. Unto thee have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. Lord why castest thou off my soul, why hidest thou thy face from me.3
