[Greek or Hebrew] Prayer possessed with a spirit, but a good spirit-Prayer, steeled with fervour of spirit, so fervent that David is like the Post, who layeth by three horses as breathless; his heart, his throat, his eyes, Ps. 69.3. I am weary of my crying, my throat is dried, §5mine eyes fail, while I wait for my God: 5. ⟨p. 55⟩There is violence offered to God, in fervent prayer, Exod. 32.10. Moses is answered, when he is wrestling with God by Prayer, for the people, Now therefore let me alone, that my anger may wax hot against them: Let me alone, is a word, of putting violent hands in any: there be bones and sinews in such prayers, by them the King is held in his Galleries, Cant. 7.5.
