Reas. 1 1. This proceeds from the largeness and greatness of Gods power, and the riches and freeness of his grace towards us; Ephes. 3. 20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we are able ¹to ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. A man may ask of another man, and it may be receive; but then he must not ask again: but herein appears the power and ability, the goodness and bounty of God; if we ask of him once or twice, he is a God that is able to give, not according to our asking only, but above what we ask; and not only above what we can ask, but above what we can ask or ⟨p. 80⟩think. The words are so full, that they cannot well be expressed, God doth more then ²excessively. God hath not only a fullness of abundance, but of redundancy; not only of plenty, but bounty; he is better then our prayers.
