And take heed that you make not the prayers of others vain. Luther writes to Melanchthon angerly, in regard of his fear of the power of his adversaries, saith he. You make our prayers void. So it may be said of many that are cold, and luke-warm, and dead-hearted, and do not take to heart the cause of God; that fear the displeasure of this body, and that body; you make our prayers void. You that have praying friends, it may be fathers, ⟨p. 242⟩& mothers that are dead whose prayers are put up in heaven, take heed that you make not their prayers void; that you give them not cause if they should come to live again from the dead to weep and cry out, O how are our prayers made void by the prayers of such and such.
