Of the circumstances of prayer.
Of the circumstances of praier.
Quest. 1. Whether a man is to use a voice in prayer? Answ. In public prayer it is requisite that there be a voice: for the minister i• the mouth of the people, and to the prayer which he conceives, they give assent. For private prayer, using of a voice is convenient; yet so as it may be don• in silence. I. The Lord gave us the voice, as well as the heart to bless him withal. Jam. 3.9. II. God created the tongue as well as the heart; and so will be praised by both. III. The voice often stirs up the heart: and again, the vehemency of affection doth often draw out a voice: the voice then in private prayer is requisite, yet in some cases may be omitted, for it is not absolutely necessary. Moses and Anna prayed in silence.
