First, Here's mighty encouragement for prayer; when we 1present arguments to God for mercy, to think, that those arguments we present, and all other that possibly may be presented they lie glowing at Gods heart, they lie glowing warm at the heart of God; they are not only before God, but there they lie as a company of sticks that are gotten together and so glow and are ready to flame out; so all considerations that any way may serve to do good unto the Saints, they do lie glowing at the heart of God altogether. It may be sometimes we come in prayer, alas we are straitened in our own bowels, perhaps we cannot express our selves, it may be but in one or two particulars we are able to express, and that which comes out of our hearts comes very cold; but when we are ⟨p. 163⟩straitened in our own bowels, and can express but little for our selves, and if we see such as belongs to Gods Covenant, we must know that all considerations that possibly men and Angels can express, that may do thee good they are all with God, and are in a heat in Gods heart. I do not know such a full expression as this is of Repentings 2kindled; kindled together.
