3 True invocation ariseth first, from the true feeling of our wants, & the knowledge of the sufficiency of God, and upon the promise of being hard, which is apprehended by faith.

4 Invocation is due only unto GOD the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost: both because, he alone is the only Author of all good things; and also, because that to be able to hear-and heal all that call upon him in all places, belongeth unto none, save only unto the omnipotent God.

5 Now, whereas no man is worthy to present himself in the presence of God; the heavenly Father, to the end that he might drive away from us, all shamefastness & fear, hath given us the only Mediator, in whom alone he doth look upon us, as being reconciled, and heareth our prayers. Now the holy Ghost is he, who giveth us the true contrition of the heart, and true faith in him upon whom we call; and doth inwardly teach us, what we ought to pray: so that we do call upon the Father, in the name of the Son by the holy Ghost.
