1Again, it was a great mercy of God, that himself vouchsafed to give him a name and so sweet a name, as that of Ishmael, which signifieth, God will hear, and may seem to point out the deliverance whereof I spake last,2 for then it is said, I have heard the cry of the lad. O that we could labour to be Ishmaels in this sense, such as have interest unto this mercy of being heard of God. Such we shall be if we depart from iniquity and study to please God, for if any man do the will of God him will God hear.3
