There is a fivefold qualification that ⟨p. 16⟩God requires, even of his friends, as a condition of their acceptance.
1. The heart must be prepared, Psal. 10. 117. Lord thou hast heard the desire of the humble, thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear. So Job 11. 13, 14, 215. If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hand towards him. If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacle. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be steadfast and shalt not fear. That is the first particular.
