3 You must pray for the grace of Illumination. Whensoever you take the Bible in your hand to read in it, pray Davids prayer, Psal. 119.18. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous ⟨p. 91⟩things out of thy Law. Philosophers observe, that Lumen est vehiculum influentiae, Light is the Chariot of influence, as it begets the flower in the field, the gold in the mineral; so the foundation of all regeneration, is illumination. Pray that God would open your eyes that you may understand the Scriptures, as he did to his Apostles Luke 24. 45. That he would take away the veil that is upon your hearts.
