Quest. How oughtest thou to Pray then, doest thou learn from hence and other Scriptures in general?
Ans. I learn▪ that we ought to ⟨p. 110⟩Pray in the Spirit, that my Spirit must Pray; & that too, by the help of the holy Spirit of God; ad that I ought to Pray with Understanding. And moreover, we must Pray in Truth, viz. Speak no more with our Tongues, then doth agree with our Hearts; and that we ought to lift up holy Hands, Pray with an Heart set against, hating and loathing all manner of Sin and Evil, & to Pray fervently, in Faith, Constantly, and to Pray according to the Will of God, & to put up all Prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ. And lastly, That we ought in the first place to seek the Honour of God before our one good, and to seek the good of our Souls before the good of our Bodies; and that we should in Prayer design & seek the good of others, as well as our own good.
Quest. How is Jesus Christ Our ⟨p. 111⟩Mediator made known or manifested to us?
