spirit of Iacob: if you be such a seed of Iacob you shall not seek Gods face in vain, but when you call unto him, he will answer you. But you will say, it is true, some men may call unto God, and he will hear him, but I am a poor con∣temptible and wretched creature, and if I do call unto him, he will not hear nor answer me. That place in the Psalm fully an∣swers any objection against our po∣verty, or the poverty of our prayers, Psalm. 102.17. He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not de∣spise their prayers. The prayer of the destitute, the word signifies a poor shrub in the wildernesse, a contempti∣ble shrub, that is trodden on by the feet of beasts, and none regards it; God regards such prayers. If I could make an excellent prayer it were somewhat: No, he doth not despise thy prayer. It may be thy prayer is such as thou despisest, & that others would despise, but God will not despise it. 0
