Pray not for this people for I will not hear thee The will of God being manifested a man should be so far satisfied with it that he should not pray against it though it be the greatest misery that can befall the Church of God in this life As that of the captivity was For our prayers should be according to the will of God as it is revealed and if the Lord hath once revealed his will we should not pray against it neither should our spirits rise against it but we should strive for a holy and sweet composure of heart under it and not be indulgent to sullen and discontented mournings as if I would it had not been so or as if I would have had it otherwise 10.
