The prevalency of fervent Prayer. [ VIII]
SOcrates telleth that when a terrible fire in Constantinople had fastned on a great
part of the City and tooke hold of the Church, the Bishop thereof went to the
Altar, and falling downe upon his knees, would not rise from thence, till the
fire blazing in the Windowes, and flashing at every doore, was vanquished, and
the Church preserved, so that with the flouds of his devotion he slaked the fury of
that raging Element: And the same shall be the force of Englands prayers, for Eng∣lands
peace and welfare, if wee be fervent therein; Hereticks and Schismaticks
may range, Enemies conspire, and the People rise up in tumults; but let us trust in
him that never forsaketh them, that faithfully call upon his holy name.
