Of Prayer.
XXVI. WE believe Prayer is 1a holy Ordinance of God, and that it ought to be performed by the Help and Assistance of the Holy Spirit; and that not only the Prayer Christ taught his Disciples, but the whole Word of God is to be our Rule how to pray, and pour forth our Souls unto God: and that it is the indispensable Duty of all godly Families (and others also) as well as private Christians, daily to pray for all things they need, and to give Thanks every Day for all good things they receive: and that the Omission of this Duty is a great Scandal to Religion, and a 2great Evil when it is carelessly or negligently performed.
