Ministers of the Gospel ought to desire the Prayers of the Lord's People.
HEBREWS XIII. 18. Pray for us.
THAT the Writer of this Admirable Epistle was no less an Author than an Apostle, and particularly, that the Apostle Paul was the Writer of it, seems evident in that there are many Paulins Phrases in it. And Peter writing to the Hebrews or Christianized Jews, says, Our beloved Brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him of God, has written to you. ⟨p. 2⟩The Conclusion of the Epistle begins with these Words, Pray for us. Undoubtedly he intends himself in special. It is not improbable but that there might be other Ministers of the Gospel under Confinement with him at Rome, whom he would also have them Prayed for. Now considering he was divinely Inspired in requesting the Prayers of these Christians, that is documental to other Ministers that they should do the like, and instructive also to People that they should comply with the Exhortation.
