In the handling of this Doctrine, I shall
1. prove it by Scripture-instances. 2. I shall lay down the reasons of it. 3. I shall answer some objections, and cases of conscience; and so I shall come to application.
1. I shall prove it by Scripture instances.
1. You have the instance of Hannah, 1 Sam. 1. She begged a son with much importunity, being a woman of a sorrowful spirit for want of a son; Well, God returns her an answer. Chemnitius observes, 1that Hanna asked a son, and God gave her a Prophet. She begged a son, God gave her a gracious son; a son greatly beloved of God. She asked a single mercy, and God gave her a double blessing.
