Desires thus qualified, have the force of a loud cry in the ⟨p. 298⟩ears of God. Psal. 10. 17. God heareth the desire of the poor. Psal. 38. 9. All my desires are before thee. Psal. 145. 19. He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear of him. Isa. 64. 24. Before they cry I will answer: that is, so soon as a desire of my help is conceived, and before it be uttered, I will answer.

That the desires of our hearts are cries, it is by means of the §5intercession of Christ. This Intercession is not a vocal, but a virtual prayer, in that the Son of God presents his manhood and his merits before the father in heaven, willing as God, and desiring as man, that the father should accept the said merits for §10us. Now this will and desire of the Son, is of great force with the father. It is a Cry in which the father is well pleased: and by it the desires of our hearts are Cries in the ears of God.
