There is only one more remains, that is that which 1must go along with all the rest, Prayer. You know there is a large Charter granted to prayer; but besides that general one, Whatsoever we ask according to his will we shall receive; there are special particular promises in this case, ⟨p. 342⟩that if any man, be driven to a strait and necessity, if he send this messenger into the presence of God, he shall have a guard sent down presently to him. Look in that place Phil. 4. 6. In nothing be careful, saith the Apostle, but let your prayers and requests be made known to the Lord. And 2what follows? The peace of God which passeth understanding shall keep your hearts and minds in the Love of God through Christ Jesus. As if he should say, do but this, if you be in any extremity or distress, trouble not your selves and your thoughts about it; but this is your course, your only wisdom is, let your requests be made known to God with thanksgiving.
