Q. 7. What's the second antecedent duty of hearing?
A. Prayer is an antecedent duty to hearing the Word, and that both for the assistance of the Minister, 2 Thess. 3.1. Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And our own illumination, Psal. 119.18. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Q. 8. What else should we pray for?
A. That God would pour out his Spirit with the Word according to that promise, Prov. 1.23. —I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
