First;1 That mens sins make many times Gods Ministers and his Saints at a point that they know not what to say in prayer. Truly, though there hath be a mighty Spirit of prayer through Gods mercy in the Kingdom, yet considering that since God hath come to show himself willing to deliver us, and Christ hath been coming even upon his white Horse in peace to take the Kingdom to himself, since that time such a spirit of Malignity hath appeared against Christ and his Saints as ever was in the Kingdom, it puts many of the Ministers and Saints of God to a non-plus in their prayers, and straightens their very hearts in the day of their fasting, when they are to seek God,2 that the Lord would give forth mercy, The Lord knows that the condition we are in is more unfit for mercy than we were at the very first day; Thus a Nation, thus particular people may put the Servants of God to a stand in their prayers, and straighten their hearts; Oh! were it that people had gone on in the embracing of Reformation as they seemed to do at the first, Oh! how enlarged would the hearts of the Saints have been in prayer? Oh Lord! give England mercy, give England deliverance.
