God's favour is happiness.
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.
What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
Those that forget to attend God with their praises may perhaps be compelled to attend him with their prayers.
