Psalms65:2
Verſ. 2. O thou that heareſt prayer] And art thereby known to be the true God, 1 King. 18.38, 39. and no ſuch dull deity as the Heathens worſhipped, Iſa. 45.16, 19. Mic. 7.17, 18. O happy we that have to deal with ſuch a Prayer-hearing, ſin-pardoning God, verſ. 3▪ Baſil compareth prayer to a chain, the one end whereof is linked to Gods Ear, and the other to mans Tongue.
Flectitur iratus voce rogante Deus.
Vnto thee ſhall all fleſh come] And well they may, ſith he keepeth open houſe, his Mercy doors are ever wide open, as were the doors of the Aediles, or City Chamberlains in Rome, that all who had occaſion of complaint might have free acceſs unto them at any time. A good houſe-keeper is ſeldom without company. Why ply we not the Throne of Grace upon ſuch encouragement? Why, ſith wee are not ſtraitned in God, are we ſtraitned in our own bowels? Why make we not our ſelves happy by asking, ſith wee may have but what we will of God, even all that Heaven and his Grace can afford us?
