Supplication (or prayer) it is the great prevailing Ordinance 1with God; that's the Note. It hath been the great Engine that hath carried things on in the world, Prayer, in Revel. 8. 4. The prayers of the Saints were offered up, and 2voices of Thunder, and Lightening, and Earthquakes followed when they were offered. Prayers of the Saints can move Heaven and Earth, they can prevail with the God of Heaven and Earth. The Praying Legion, was called the Thundering Legion. And Luther saith of prayers, they are our Guns, our Cannons, our Prayers can prevail 3more than Cannons; The Saints have always put their great strength upon Prayer. It's a very observable Scripture. Psal. 109. 4. For my love, they are my adversaries (but what then?) But I pray; it is in your books, But I give my self to prayer, but the words, Give my self, you may observe printed in another distinct Character, which is to note that those words are not in the Original, but added by the Translators, and in that they dealt *faithfully; but if you read it as it is in the Hebrew it is, For my love, they are my adversaries; but I pray: as if he should say, that's my refuge, I account prayer to be the great help that I have, when they are my adversaries and rail upon me, I will not rail upon them again; when they oppose me, I will not oppose them again; but I pray, I'll pray to my God, and I make account I have help enough there to resist my enemies that I have. Jacob prevailed ⟨p. 248⟩over the Angel by supplication. It's a good sign of a gracious heart to lay the weight of business upon pra[…] But I will not enter into this common place of the excellency or power of Prayer and Supplication, but only this, It's not every prayer that will prevail so with God.
