Quest. How many ways doth God hear mens prayers? Ans. Two ways. The first in his mercy, when he grants the requests of such as call upon him in the fear of his name. Secondly, he hears mens prayers in his wrath. Thus he gave the Israelites Quails according to their desire. Psal. 78.29.30.31. Thus often men curse themselves, and wish that they were hanged or dead: and accordingly they have their wish.
