III. Here we see a way whereby we may obtain the things we1 ask of God: namely, we must confess our own unworthiness, taking shame and confusion to our selves, and give all praise and honour ⟨p. 320⟩and glory to God. Thus did Jacob, Gen. 32. 10. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth which thou hast showed unto thy servant: so, Dan. 9. 7. To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but unto us open shame. And thus coming in humility of heart, renouncing our selves and all that we can do, and endeavouring to give all glory to God, we shall find mercy with the Lord for the obtaining of all our requests.
