Why do I labour in Apologies to excuse my self? Or in arguments, defend my cause? Why do I labour in prayer to deprecate these troubles, and get out of the bands of my afflictions? Pleading for our selves with men, is hard labour, but especially pleading ⟨p. 362⟩for our selves with God. Prayer is strong labour, therefore it is called wrestling: Bildad advised Job to pray unto God, in the 8th Chapter; here Job seems to answer, Why labour I in prayer; and in seeking unto God, seeing all's in vain, and lost labour? to what end should I labour in any of these duties, for I am wicked (in the opinion of man) or if I be wicked, in the sight of God, or seeing God hath cast me into such a condition, as appearingly and visibly casts me among the wicked.
