1. Here is a word of consolation to those that want this holy importunity; and that in three respects.
1. Thou mayest pray with sincerity, when thou dost not pray with importunity. The Lord, saith David, is nigh to all that call upon him; but how? Not only to them that call on him importunately and powerfully, but to all that call upon him in truth; if thou canst say thou dost call upon God in truth, and with a sincere heart, God will be high unto thee.
