Words whereby we may be saved. By Thomas Vincent, sometime minister of Maudlins milk-street,…

Means 5. Prayer. Pray secretly; retire your selves from company into your Closets, or some private place, and there confess your sins, and make known your requests to God, that seeth and heareth in secret, and hath promised an open reward to such as secretly and sincerely seek him. Pray frequently, be often upon your knees, give your selves unto Prayer; begin the day, conclude the day with Prayer, and recover some other time to visit and speak to God; at least mingle ejaculatory Prayer with every other work; and labour that your minds may be always in a praying frame; and do not withdraw, but be glad when an opportunity offereth it self to come to the throne of grace. Pray fervently, pour forth your hearts before God in the duty; wrestle with God in Prayer like Jacob, be earnest in your Petitions as for your lives, be instant and importunate, take no denial, follow hard after God; stir up your selves to take hold on him, use arguments in Prayer, to plead with him. Pray believingly, mingle your prayers with Faith; make use of the name and mediation of Jesus Christ; and make application of the Promises which God hath made to his People, which he hath made to Faith, and which he hath made to Prayer.
