Quest. But will not God hear mens prayers in the troublesome time of death? Ans. Not the prayers at that time made by such men:1 2for they are Hypocrites, having upon them but the names of God and godliness, and will never in sincerity pray unto God at all times, neither in their death do they pray unto God because they delight in the Almighty; and therefore he shows Verse 10. that seeing they delight not in God and godliness, and will not pray at all times; that is, as well in health as sickness, in prosperity as in adversity, while they might yet sin, as well as when they can sin no longer: therefore their hope of mercy in death shall fail them.
