Rule. 6 If this avail not, fall instantly to prayer, and indeed all along the whole encounter with thy lusts; Pray continually, lift up thy heart to God with sighs and groans unutterable: Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down! Tell him thy lusts are his enemies, as well as thine, tell him they are too strong for thee; beg of him that he would interpose, and make bare his arm, and get himself a glorious name. Awake, ¹awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art not thou it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the Dragon? Entreat him, of all love, to pity thee, even by his very bowels, and not to let the enemy triumph over ⟨p. 103⟩thee. Tell him thou knowest not what to do, but thy eyes are towards him. Bemoan thy self before him, and plead his glory with him, and his truth and faithfulness. Spread his own gracious promises in his eyes. Psal. 27.14. Isa. 40.28, 29, 30, 31. Psal. 55.22. 1 Pet. 5.7.
