Doct. 2 That a state of friendship, or reconciliation with God, is not sufficient to assure a man that God will give returns to his prayers. Although a man must be brought into a state of, friendship and favour with God, before his, prayers can be heard: yet it is not a sufficient ground for a man to believe, that God will give him an answer of all his prayers. He will give unto him, not because ⟨p. 15⟩he is friend. So that a godly man may make many prayers, and yet God may not give any answer to his prayers.
