Again, considering that God is The God of all comfort; This should teach 1us (as thankfulness to God, so) prayer in the want of any comfort, that he would both give the thing, and the comfort of the thing. We may have the thing, and the wrath of God with it, but thou that art the God of comfort, vouchsafe the outward comforts to us, and vouchsafe comfort with them: thou that art the God of every thing, and of the comfort of the thing, vouchsafe both.

Again, if God be the God of all comfort whatsoever, then here is a ground 1of diverse other truths: as for instance, that if we look for any comfort from the things, or from reasons, and discourse, or from God: we should go to God in the use of the thing, before the use, after the use, at all times; before the use, that God would suggest, either by reading or hearing &c. reasons of comfort, in the use, that he would settle and seal comfort to our souls.
