1So we see then that prayer it is a remedy in a remediless estate, when there is no other remedy and this one difference between a child of GOD and another; In extremity a carnal man that hath not grace, he hath not a spirit of prayer to go to GOD, but a child of GOD, he cries to GOD, he had acquaintance with God in the time of health, therefore he goes boldly to GOD as a father ⟨p. 61⟩in the time of extremity. Gods children can answer Gods dealing; for as he brings his children to extremity, when there is no second cause to help, so they answer him by faith, in extremity when there is nothing to trust unto, they trust him. when there is no physic in the world that can-charm the disease, they have a spirit of faith to answer Gods dealing, in the greatest misery, as Job faith, though he kill me yet will I trust in him.
