Children to be begged of God by prayer. [ 1091]
IT is a Rabbinicall observation, that there are four speciall keyes, which the Lord
reserveth in his own power; First, the Key of rain, Deut. 27. 12. Secondly, the
key of food, Psalm. 104. 28. Thirdly, the key of the Grave, 1 Sam. 2. 6. Fourthly,
the key of the heart, Acts 16. 4. To which may be added, the key of the wombe,
Gen. 30. 22. Hence is it, that Abraham being Childlesse, made his moane unto
God; Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren; Hannah, Samuels mo∣ther
poured out her Soul, when she had no childe. This is the true course, this
is the right way; first to the Lord, then to the meanes; and let all those that de∣sire
〈◊〉〈◊〉 blessing of encrease, seek it of God; It is he that openeth and shutteth the
wombe, the fruit of the wombe is his Reward, he maketh the barren woman to dwell
with a Family, and to be a joyfull Mo••her of Children.
