1 From Gods gracious acceptation and remuneration of the same▪ whereof the Scripture giveth abundant instances and examples; As of Davids Ejaculatory Prayer against Ahithophel, that God would turn his counsel into foolishness,1 was graciously accepted and granted in defeating the same. 2The like we read of Nehemiah's Ejaculatory Prayer unto God, to incline the heart of ⟨p. 13⟩the King to grant his request, which was graciously heard and answered. So also the poor penitent Thief's Ejaculatory Prayer unto Christ, Lord remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom. Holy Ejaculations are the Spiritual breathings of a gracious heart, which as they are very pleasing unto God, so exceedingly advantageous unto Christians; for though they are very short and sudden, yet seldom do they return empty.
