This we must of absolute necessity do, or else the Almighty will not hear our prayers for the peace of Jerusalem. It is infallibly true which we read in several places in Holy Writ; thus Prov. 28.9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, he that hearkens not to the Lord his God and obeys not his laws, the prayer of that man is an abomination. Thus Psalm 66.18. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: but Psalm 34.15. The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers.
