A. That which our Saviour gave to his Apostles, in Mat. 6.5, &c. add thereto that of our Saviour afterwards, in Joh. 16.23, 24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing ⟨p. 109⟩in my Name: Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Add that of the Apostle, Ephes. 5.20. Give thanks always for all things unto God, and the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Q. But what is it to pray and give thanks in the Name of Jesus Christ?
A. To pray and give thanks in the Name of Jesus Christ, is to draw nigh to God therein with confidence, because Jesus Christ is our High Priest, that maketh intercession for us. Heb. 4.14, 15, 16. 1 Pet. 2.5. Heb. 13.15.
