The spirit of prayer prognosticates mercy near at hand. When the Lord by Jeremiah foretold the end of the captivity, he also predicts the prayers that should open the gates of Babylon. Cyrus was prophesied of, to do his work for Jacob his servant's sake, and Israel his elect, but yet they must ask him concerning those things to come, and they should not seek him in vain. Isa. Xlv. 1, 2, 4. Isa. Xlv. 19. The glory of the latter days iu the return of Israel, is foretold by Ezekiel ; but then " th...e Lord will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them. " Ez. Xxxvi. 24, 37. The coming of Christ is promised by himself; but yet " the spirit and bride say come, and he that hear- eth must say come, " and when Christ says THECLOSET. 75 he will " come quickly, " we must add, " even so come Lord Jesus. " Divine grace kindles these ardent affec- tions when the mercies promised are upon the wing. Prayer is that chain, as Diony- sius calls it, that draws the soul up to God, and the mercy down to us ; or like the cable that draws the ship to land, though the shore itself remains unmovable.
