All these different elevations of spirit unto God are contained in the name of prayer, 3. Now no prayer is acceptable with God unless it be joined with belief in Christ. The prayers of the just are accepted always, but not always those things granted for which they pray, because it is for their good often- times that their petitions do not take place. 4. To think we may pray unto God for nothing but what He has promised in Holy Scripture we shall obtain, is an error. For of prayer there are two... uses : — (i) It serves as a means to procure those things which God has promised to grant when we ask, and (2) It serves as a means to express our lawful desires also towards that which, whether we shall have or no, we know not till we see the event. Things in themselves im- possible, unholy or unseemly we may not ask. Whereas, contrariwise, when things, of their own nature contingent and mutable, are by the secret determination of God appointed one way, though we the other way make our prayers, and consequently ask those things of God which 68 ANALYSIS OF HOOKER'S are hy this supposition impossible, we, notwithstanding, do not hereby in prayer transgress our lawful bounds.
