We are told, page 6. That the Saints have an influence in the managing the affairs of the world, by their Prayers. If so, let us consider, what a TOTTERING CONDITION they are in, who have the trayers of the Saints engaged against them; yea, though but of a few despised ones, who are not clothed with the glory and power of this world. I do remember that this good man told us in another *Sermon, That the prayers of a few Saints have a mighty prevalence to turn the state of affairs in the world: The prayers of the Saints against those that ⟨image 3⟩oppress them, will still bring the vintage (the vintage of Gods wrath on Protestants that provoke him) on them. An Angel cries out of the Temple, seeing the Name of Christ profaned by those that profess Christ, and yet are opposers of the Saints: God hears their voice, and sends it for them, and will continue to do it, &c.
