That God often answereth his People in the very time while they are praying, Isa. 58. 9. When they call I will answer, and when they cry he shall say, Hear I am. This hath been the course of Gods dealing with the Prayer makers all along; Abel, Gen. 4. 4. God had respect to; it is [Greek or Hebrew], set his offering on fire.

While Cornelius, was in the Act of Prayer, at the ninth hour of the day, which was the Hour of Prayer, he saw in a Vision the ⟨p. 45⟩Angel of God, Acts 10. 3. to 9th. ver. while Peter went up to the house top to pray, then he had the Heavenly Vision; so when Paul was in Prayer Ananias was sent to him, Acts 9. 11.
