Q. 114. To whom are we to Pray A. To God only it is his glory to be called upon Psal 50. 15. which he will not give to another Isa 42. 8. First because prayer is a principall part of divine worship Ioal 2. 32. and divine worship is to be given to God only 1 Sam. 7. 3 Secondly because we may call upon none but one whom we are to believe Rom. 10. 14. Thirdly because God onely knoweth our hearts and what we inwardly desire Act. 1. 24. Fourthly because he onely is all-sufficient and Almighty Gen. 17. 1. to give us whatsoever we aske 1 Iohn 5. 15. warrantably verse 14. Fiftly because the Lord counts it a heavy judgement when he lets people call upon any other but him Iudg. 10. 14.
