You know how it is answered in the Fifth of1 James, (saith he)i Elijah when he was heard, he was a man, and a man subject to passions, and to the like passions that we are: As if he should say, do not think that Elijah was therefore heard, because he was an extraordinary Prophet, for it was because the Lord had made a promise to him, and he comes and urges that promise to the Lord, and therefore the Lord heard him. So (saith he) should every one of you, if you have the promise, you may go and urge it, as well as Elijah did: though you be subject to many infirmities, Elijah was even so. You know there ⟨p. 77⟩are infirmities and passions expressed in the Scriptures that he was subject to. And this is the first use we are to make of it, to be frequent and fervent in this duty, since we have such a promise.
You know how it is answered in the Fift of1 Iames, (saith he)i Eliah when hee was heard, he was a man, and a man subject to passions, and to the like passions that wee are: As if he should say, do not thinke that Eliah was therefore heard, because he was an extraordinary Prophet, for it was because the Lord had made a promise to him, and hee comes and urges that promise to the Lord, and therefore the Lord heard him. So (saith he) should every one of you, if you have the promise, you may goe and urge it, as well as Eliah did: though you be subject to many infirmities, Eliah was even so. You know there ⟨p. 77⟩are infirmities and passions expressed in the Scriptures that hee was subject to. And this is the first use we are to make of it, to be freqvent and fervent in this duty, since wee have such a promise.
