2. For Prayer, and the maner of it, observe this method:
1. Confess and acknowledge Gods mercies both in his promises and performances: Say, Lord, thou hast said,1 I will love thee freely:—And I will be with thee, 2even to the end of the world:—He that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of mine eye: 3— And all is yours, and ye are Christs, and Christ is Gods:—And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever, &c. Surely Lord thou art true in thy sayings; I believe by virtue of this and that promise, I have the love, and promise, and providence of God, I am redeemed, called, justified, reconciled, adopted by Christ; I have the Spirit of Christ, I am sanctified in some measure by that Spirit, I have all this of free grace, and by virtue of a promise.
