Secondly,1 here is matter of comfort for them that are of the same disposition that David was, that cry night and day, Help, Lord, for the godly perish, &c. & that labour with God, by fasting, and weeping, & praying, that he would uphold the state of his Church. If the prayer of David, being but one man, were effectual for the continuing of Gods people, how much more forcible shall the requests of many thousands be, who do uncessantly entreat the Lord with great earnestness to be favourable unto Zion, and to build up the walls of Jerusalem, to save his chosen, and defend his own heritage against the malicious plots and practises of all their enemies.
