For good things, extraordinary prayer hath been made, when Saints and servants of God have seen them ⟨p. 23⟩needful then to be granted; or when they have been withheld: or when they have been withdrawn and taken away.

This may be exemplified in sundry particulars.
Moses earnestly prayed for a good Governor to succeed him,1 Numb. 27. 16. Christ spent a whole night in prayer immediately before his choosing of Apostles, Luk. 6. 12, 13. The Apostles ordained Elders in every Church with prayer and fasting, Act. 14. 23. The Church fasted and prayed when Barnabas and Saul were separated to the work, whereunto God called them, Act. 13. 3. The like course should be taken by us in ordaining Ministers, and setting Officers in their several places: yea and in enterprising weighty affairs of more then ordinary concernment.
