As there is a Communion among the Ordinances; every Ordinance doth help another. The Word helps Prayer, and Prayer helps the Word: So there's a Communion between Ordinances and Graces. Faith helps Prayer, and Prayer helps Faith. Prayer cannot say of Faith — I have no need of thee: nor Faith of Prayer — What need have I of thee?

As there is a mutual dependence of one Christian on another, a means to nourish Communion, as Christians help one another; One may say — Help my Zeal, and I will increase thy knowledge; strengthen my Faith, and I will inflame or kindle thy affections: so here, There is a mutual dependence between Faith and Prayer. Faith saith to Prayer, Help me to believe, and I will help thee to pray: And Prayer to Faith, Help me to pray, and I will help thee to believe.
