4. When Sin abounds, or in a Day of great Rebuke and Blasphemy: When Hell seems to be let loose, or the Flood-gates of Wickedness opened wide in a Nation, then it is a Time for the Godly to be much in Prayer. Jer. 13.19. Isa. 37.23.
5. In Times of great Distress upon the Church; when the Danger is imminent, as at this Day; this is a Time for extraordinary Prayer. See Isa. 22. When many Nations came up against Judah, then Jehoshaphat cried mightily to Heaven, 2 Chron. 20.12. When Haman plotted to destroy all the Jews, and cut off Israel at once, and the Writings were sealed, and sent forth, then Esther and the godly Ones pray mightily. Thus did Jacob, when his Brother was coming to meet him, fearing he would cut off the Mother with the Child;1 how did he then wrestle with God!
- 1Gen. 33.
6. In Times of Temptation. When Christ was assaulted, and his Hour was come, he prayed hard, he spent a whole Night in Prayer, Mat. 26.44
