1. That it is a wild and absurd opinion of the Socinians, who hold that 1prayer is only commanded in the New Testament. That Christ made it a new precept to pray, so that although the godly in the Old Testament did pray, yet they say, they had no command for it. This they make one of the new Evangelical precepts Christ brought into the Church; but this doth openly contradict Scripture. Doth not the Scripture say, Call upon me in the time of trouble; doth not the Old Testament say, Seek ye the Lord while he may be found; was not the Temple of God called the house of prayer? doth not Solomon in the Dedication of his Temple, suppose that its a peoples duty under judgments to pray and humble themselves under Gods hand, that so they may be removed from off them. It was therefore always a duty both in the Old and New Testament to pray to God.
