A discourse of the work of the Holy Spirit in prayer with a brief…

Prayer at present I take to be, a Gift, Ability or Spiritual Faculty of exercising Faith, Love, Reverence, Fear, Delight, and other Graces in a way of vocal Requests, Supplications, and Praises unto God. In every thing making our Request known unto God, Phil. 4. 6.

PRayer at present I take to be, a Gift, Ability or Spiritual Faculty of exercising Faith, Love, Reverence, Fear, Delight, and other Graces in a way of vocal Requests, Supplications, and Praises unto God. In every thing making our Request known unto God, Phil. 4. 6.

This Gift and Ability, I affirm to be bestowed, and this Work by Virtue thereof to be wrought in us by the Holy Ghost in the Accomplishment of the Promise insisted on, ⟨p. 49⟩so crying Abba Father in them that do believe. And this is that which we are to given an account of, wherein we shall assert nothing but what the Scripture plainly goeth before us in, and what the experience of Believers duly exercised in Duties of Obedience, doth confirm. And in the Issue of our Endeavour, we shall leave it unto the Judgement of God and his Church, whether they are ecstatical, enthusiastical, unaccountable Raptures that we plead for, or a real Gracious Effect and Work of the Holy Spirit of God.
