1. We have not to do to search into the secret will of God, we are to mind the revealed will of God, and not the secret; It concerns not us to know what ⟨p. 26⟩God will do, but what God would have us to do. Deut. 29. 29. Secret things belong 1to God, but revealed things to us, and to our Children; we know not any thing of the decree and counsel of God, but only as he is pleased to reveal it.

Though God can give a mercy without prayer, yet he hath not any where promised to give it without prayer. Prayer is the means that God hath appointed us to use for the obtaining of mercy.
