Nay more then so, God hears the very young ravens, and spreads a table ⟨p. 78⟩for every living thing, and will not suffer them to die for hunger, but provides for them, because they are his creatures, and will he not for his children, those that he hath taken to be so near him to be heirs of heaven, & happiness? Let us I say, be encouraged to cry unto the Lord upon all occasions, if God be so good as to deliver sinful men (that have nothing in them but the principles of nature) when they fly to God in prayer, as the author and preserver of nature, much more will he hear his own children,1 he will give his spirit to them that ask him, Luke 11.
