USE. III. For Exhortation to the People of God in two particulars.
1. Be Exhorted to Pray much and earnestly for the Conversion of the JEWS. This duty seems to be too much neglected in these days; and possibly one great reason of it is, because the belief of this Article runs so low in the Christian world Be we then roused up to this duty: and there are these Considerations which are very profitable for this end.
1. The thing is a matter of Faith, and so • Calls for Prayer. It as a truth not to be doubted of, since God hath given us the assurance of it in his word, and we ought to Receive his Testimony, and thereby Set to our Seal that […] is True. Now the things that we believe, because God hath promised them, and which are future, are such things as are proper for • to pray for: they are good in themselves, an• worth the desiring; & the strength of Prayer • in this belief: yea this is the way in which God hath said that he will communicate the good promised to his people, Ezek 36. 37 I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them.
