Manasseh the king of Judah, that had committed much wickedness: when he was carried captive to Babel, and there put in chains: he1 humbled himself, acknowledged his sins, and prayed earnestly unto the Lord, and the issue was good; for God was entreated of him, & gave him deliverance. Job being long in outward affliction, humbled himself in like manner, and at length received comfort. Daniel humbled himself before God, for his own sins, and for the sins of Gods people, making2 request unto God earnestly for them, and even when he was in the act of praying, the Lord sent his angel Gabriel, to give him notice of deliverance. Lastly, the Church of God, under the cross, performed the like duty, Let us 3search and try our ways, and turn to the Lord,, and God in mercy gave an ear unto her mourning and lamentation. By all these places, it is apparent, that there is no better remedy in the world, for the mind of man, grieved by means of outward afflictions, then the practise of the duties before named.
