There are divers others, and many things behind of the efficacy of prayer, as it depends upon the promise & covenant that God hath made with his people: for every promise is but a several branch and expression of the covenant of God: therefore we are to refer them all to the Covenant. I will give you but one Scripture, Jer. 30.10, 11. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, neither be dismayed O Israel: for lo, I will save thee from a far, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return and be in rest and quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations, whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. There is somewhat that ⟨p. 221⟩God doth, but yet still he remembers his promise in the middest of affliction, that he will leave nothing of that undone: therefore though his people be under great afflictions, the Lord will be good to them according to his promise.
