And then the second was, His appeal to God that he was 1[…] the way that he had set him; He could appeal thus to God; which saidst unto me, Return unto thy Country, and to thy Kindred. Why Lord, am I out of my way? am I not in the way that thou hast set me? I met with difficul[…] in my way, but Lord, thou saidest to me, Return […]to thy Country, thou bidest me return; so that's an excellent ingredient in prayer, and ads much strength, when the soul in prayer can come to God and say, O Lord, there is this and this difficulty befallen me, but Lord, I am in the way that thou hast set me, I am doing thy work, I am not out of my way. For any man or woman to be out of their way that God hath set them in will mightily damp their hearts in prayer. And it's a mighty encouragement to prayer, and carries it on with mighty strength when the soul can appeal to God, Lord, whatsoever straits I meet withal, yet I am in thy way.
