So much for the things we are to believe, now for the manner of believing.
1. We are to believe these things of God and Christ with an Historical Faith.
2. With a Faith of Recumbency we are to rely upon the Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God, and upon Christs Interest in God, &c.
3. Saints are by way of duty but not by way of a necessary Condition of obtaining whatsoever they ask, to believe with the Faith of assurance of obtaining whatsoever we pray for. By Faith here in the Text is not meant, that we must without any doubt or wavering believe, that we shall receive in kind whatsoever we ask, even the very thing we pray for.
