The fourth is, that our own prayers, and the prayers of others joining all together, is a mighty prevailing means, for the conveying of all good, and for the removing of any ill; God will deliver me, you helping by your prayers. Prayer is a means to convey all good, and to deliver from all ill.

Because God hath stablished this order, Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, Psal. 50. he joins deliverance to calling upon him. 1So in Psal. 91. 15. a notable place besides others: indeed the Psalms are wondrous full in this kind, He shall call upon me, and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him, and honour him: mark it, He shall call upon me, and I will deliver him: and more then so, (for Gods benefits are complete) he doth not only deliver, but he honours, I will deliver him, and advance him. God doth not only deliver his Children by prayer, but he delivers them from evil works, and preserves them to his heavenly Kingdom: he delivers them, and advanceth them together: he doth not do his work by halves, Psal. 34. The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry: his eyes are upon them to see their miseries and wants: I, but though his eyes be open, his ears must be open too, to hear their cry; if his eyes were open to see their wants, if his ears be not open ⟨p. 189⟩to hear their cry, his children might be miserable still.
