Because they make their prayers, ⟨p. 248⟩but not according to Gods will, either failing in the time, as did the foolish virgins, who cried, Lord, Lord, open to us, when the doors were shut: Matth. 25. 11, 12. or in the things they ask, and so the asons of Zebedee had not their request, because they asked they knew not what. 2. Because they doubt and waver in prayer, for such shall not receive any thing of the Lord, Jam. 1. 6, 7. 3. Because they pray for wrong ends; Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that you might consume it on your lusts, Jam. 4. 5.
