Things unlawful not to be asked of God in Prayer. [ 1629]
IT is written of V••••ellius the Emperour,* 1.1 that one of his Friends being denied a
Petition that was not reasonable, waxed angry and said unto him; What
avails me thy Friendship, seeing I cannot obtain that which I crave? Whereunto
the Emperour replyed, And what is thy Friendship to me, if for thee I must do that
which is unlawfull?* 1.2 Now if such equity hath been found in Man, What shall we think of our God? With what face dare we seek that from God, which is
not lawfull to be given? Hence it is that many times we ask and get not, be∣cause
we ask amisse and not for the right end;* 1.3 Whereas did we ask in Faith, we should be sure to have that thing which we desire or a better.
