6. Luther advised George Spalatinus always to begin his Studies with Prayer;

For, saith he, there is no Master that can instruct us in Divine Matters, but the Author of them.

Ibid. p. 195. And Me∣lancthon testifies of Luther, That he hath heard him so loud and earnest at his Prayers, as if some Per∣son were in company discoursing with him. Much the same Advice doth Ludovicus Grotius give to all Students in Divinity, To pray often: And Thomas Aquinas is reported to use that Rule himself, al∣ways to pray for the Resolution of any difficult and knotty Question; and commends to others that Motto, Bene orasse est bene studuisse.
