The Last thing is that we have in the Text, Give God no rest till this be. We might make it a several point of Doctrine, but I only bring it in here by way of Use. The truth is, when Christ taught us to pray, Thy Kingdom come, he had an Eye at this; for the Kingdom of Christ is not fully come till this time be come; and as in that 36. of Ezek. 37. When the Lord had promised there such glorious things to his People, saith he, ⟨p. 114⟩I will yet for this be enquired of by the House of Israel, to do it for them. So though God doth intend to raise up Jerusalem thus, yet the Lord will be sought unto, for it must be furthered by Prayer: All Gods People should cry out, Come Lord Jesus, come quickly! how long, how long, holy and true, will it be before thou dost this, before these things come to pass, my precious Lord! God loves importunity, especially in such things as these are.

Divers motives I had thought of to have put you on to this, to be mighty in Prayer.
