Therefore if you would be counted godly, be given to* Prayer: Prayer sanctifies your mercies, 1 Tim. 4. 5. prayer weeds out sin, and waters Grace.
- *Deus nunquam frustra quaeritur, imò ne tunc cum inveniri non potest. Bernard.
That I may encourage Christians, and hold up their heads in prayer, as Aaron and Hur held up Moses hands, let me propound these few considerations.
1. Prayer is a seed sown in Gods ears; other seed sown in the ground may be picked up by the Birds, but this seed (especially if watered with tears) is too precious to be lost.
