Yea, now we find there are mighty stirrings abroad in the world, the hearts of men are more raised to expect it than ever they were before. I remember it's observed of the woman of Samaria, you may see by her that there was a general expectation raised of the Messiah, at the time that he came; saith she, when the Messiah comes, he will tell us all things: and truly there is the greatest expectation of the Saints of God, and those that are the most strict and holy, the greatest expectation of these times, as ever yet was, and we find the Lord is so stirring in the world, as makes us think that he is bringing about some glorious things; and therefore pray, pray, pray; and you that want matter to pray, among other things, put this into your prayer, both in your Closets and Families, pray the Lord, and cry to him so as to give him ⟨p. 118⟩no rest every day: O Lord, make Jerusalem the praise of the Earth! O Lord, we see abundance of darkness in thy Churches, and Godliness is little Honoured in the world, but O Lord, make thy Churches glorious, set up the glory of Godliness in the world! pray thus privately, and so publicly.
