This is my acknowledgment of God's Eternity, that he is the same yesterday, to day, and for E∣ver. His Kingdom shall have no End, and his Power and Glory is not like that of Earthly Prin∣ces, fading and transitory; but Eternal without Beginning and End. Were I to make my Re¦quests
to a mutable and a mor∣tal God, one subject to Change or Ending, I should want one of the most concluding Arguments for Prayer. But seeing he, whom I Petition, is for Ever and Ever the same merciful God, who hath always heard, and doth still hear the Prayers of Poor Penitent Sinners: For ever a King, and so obliged to help his Subjects; for ever a Potentate, and so able to do them good; and one, for whose Glory it is to grant my Requests; I may with comfort conclude, that this Al∣mighty, most Merciful and Ever∣lasting Father, will hear, and do for me, though not always ac∣cording to my wish and desire, yet always as he shall see most con∣venient for me.
