Yea, not only so, but he joins with us to the Father. There is a place in the Hebrews quoted out of the Psalms, that shows that Christ praiseth God in the congregation; it is not only the Saints that praise God but Christ himself. Heb. 2.12. I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the middest of the Church will I sing praises unto thee. Christ in the middest of the Church sings praise to God. When people meet to praise God, Christ praiseth him. It is a mighty encouragement ⟨p. 225⟩in praising God. So in prayer, when we meet to seek God Christ seeks him: for he is at the right hand of the Father, making continual intercession for the Saints; Christ himself joins with them in the work that their prayers may be heard and answered.

Again, it is the stile and title that God glories in, to be a God hearing prayer, therefore he will hear and answer.
