Shall I add another discovery of the love of the people of God to other Saints in their troubles and sufferings, and that is their great and deep supplication to God for them, never do they go to pray unto God, but Zion is in their thoughts: I am confident it is so with some, and am persuaded it is so with all, they never pray that God would give them their daily bread, but they pray likewise that his Kingdom may come: David was a man under great trouble, as in the reading of the 51. Psalm; I believe you will find he was under the greatest and forest troubles that ever was, under trouble of conscience, soul-trouble, which is the soul of trouble, and yet they could not make him forget Zion, as you may see at the 18. verse of that Psalm, Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: And though they sit in ceiled houses, yet so long as it is ill with the people of God, they must pray, and if they cannot overcome men with their prayers (which yet they must endeavour) yet they will endeavour to overcome God with their prayers, and Jerusalem is never out of their thoughts ⟨p. 261⟩when they come to pray to God: And therefore as one observes, though the sufferings of the people of God be precious in his sight, so also in the sight of his Saints too.
