Where there is want of happiness, there will be a general desire that God would accomplish these days of sin; but for any particular necessities of ours, they cannot know them. Abraham hath forgotten us, and Israel knows us not. There is a communion of Saints, and this blessed communion and society trade this way in praying for one another. God commands that we should pray one for another.

Every Christian is a Priest, and a Prophet: now the Priests duty was to pray, and the Prophets duty was to pray. Now as the Priest carried the tribes on his breast, only to signify that he had them in his heart, and that he was a type of Christ who hath us in his heart alway in heaven to make intercession for us; so in some sense every true Christian is a Priest, he must carry the Church and people of God in his heart, he must have a care of others, he must not only pray for himself, but for others, as he himself would have interest in the Common prayer, Our Father, as Christ teacheth us. Not that a Christian may not say, My Father, when we have particular ground and occasion to go to God; but Christ being to direct the Church of God, he teacheth us to say, Our Father: there is therefore a regard to be had by every true Christian of the estate of others.
