Sect. 3.
[Why the repeated mention of the Name and Attributes of God,1 should not be most pleasing to any godly Person we cannot imagine; or what burden it should seem, when David magnified one Attribute of Gods mercy 26. times together; Psalm 36. Nor can we conceive, why the Name and Merits of Jesus, with which all our Prayers should end, should not be as sweet to us as to former Saints, and Martyrs, with which here they complain our Prayers, do so frequently end; since the Attributes of God, are the ground of our hope of obtaining all our Petitions, such Prefaces of Prayers as are taken from them, though they have no special respect to the Petitions as following, are not to be termed unsuitable, or said to have fallen rather casually then orderly.]
