1Again, this is a glorious privilege of access to the throne of grace, to come to God in prayer. God gives them the key of all his treasures to come, and open them, and take what they will; it is a glorious privilege that belongs to the Saints in any condition. God gives them a gracious praying heart, and that is the key of all the treasures of God, of all the excellencies of God, that they have liberty to come and take out what they will, be it unto thee as thou wilt. These are the excellent of the earth, that have these privileges.

1Again, they are the excellent in earth in regard of that which comes from them. As the work of grace is so excellent as hath been spoken of: so every gracious action that comes from a gracious heart there is a wondrous excellency in it. There is not any one gracious action, but it hath more excellency then heaven and earth. Not only grace it self, but any ⟨p. 143⟩action that comes from grace, hath more of God in it, and God more delights in it, then in all other things in heaven or earth.
