2 Of the weaknesse of our pray∣ers: which is answered by three things. 2 Discouragement is the weaknesse of their prayers: though a man thinks his person is accep∣ted, yet alas sayes he, my prayers are so poore and weake, as surely God will never regard them. To remove which, let mee first aske thee this questi∣on: Doest thou pray with all thy might? then though that thy might be weak in it selfe, and in thine owne apprehension such, yet because it is all the might which thou hast, and which grace hath in thee, it shall be accepted. For God accepts according to what a man hath, and not ac∣cording to that he hath not. 2 Cor. 8. 12.0
