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.

Another instance you have in Abraham, ⟨p. 79⟩Gen. 17. Abraham prayed, O that Ishmael might live in thy sight. Well, what answer 1doth God return? That you have vers. 19. 2Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. It was Abraham's desire that Ishmael might live. Now God, not only grants that, but he grants him a better mercy.
