BUT, Sirs, They are our Prayers, as well as our Thoughts, that must carry us unto our SAVIOUR ⟨p. 32⟩It was of Old said, The Lord is with you, while you are with Him. Every Article of our Ministry, it ought surely to be carried on with our Prayers unto Him, from Whom we have received it. In what Posture shall we receive our Burdens, but as the Camels do, upon our Knees, and with our Prayers unto Him, from Whom we have received it. In what Posture shall we receive our Burdens, but as the Camels do, upon our Knees, and with our Prayers unto Him, still casting our Burdens on the Lord?

Can they Work to any purpose for GOD, who have not begun to Live unto GOD?
