Times of afflictions are times of seeking of God: this is the Apostles Obs. 3 advice, Is any afflicted? let him pray, James 5.13. and Isa. 26.16. They poured out a prayer unto thee when thy chastening was upon them, and in their affliction they visited thee: they poured out a prayer to thee, it was not dropping, now and then, but it was violent, and it was a pouring, and it was continual, a prayer (not prayers) in the singular number, noting that they made their prayers, but a• one continued act, the word prayer in this text signifies enchantment,1 as in the speaking of ⟨p. 524⟩three or four words there is much efficacy being an enchantment: so here, their prayers, were very powerful to prevail with God.
