Verse 20. There am I in the midst]

All that he requireth is that they bring law∣full petitions and honest hearts: and then they shall be sure to re∣ceive whatsoever heart can wish, or need require.

Concerning the work of my hands command ye me. Hence that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rapture of 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.1 in a certain prayer of his, Fiat voluntas mea Domine.〈◊〉〈◊〉 hence that request of StBernard to a certain friend of his to whom he had given diverse directions for strictnesse and purity, Et 〈◊◊◊〉〈◊◊◊〉, saith he, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 mei: when thou art become such 〈◊〉〈◊〉 one, think on me in thy prayers.
