7. Lastly, because yet we may find this fear cumbersome, and ⟨p. 766⟩1our natures extremely deceitful; there is one thing left, which can never fail to prevail, as far as it is fit for us; and that is hearty prayer to God for this very thing. Thus David prays, Psal. 39. 4. and Moses, Psal. 90. 13. and Simeon, Luke 2. 19. And in as much as Christ dyed for this end, to deliver us from this fear, we may sue out the privilege, and by prayer strive with God to get it framed in us. It is a suite God will not deny them that ask in the name of Christ, because it is a thing that Christ especially aimed at in his own death.
