Daniel 2:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret… Manton says: "Single prayers are like the single hairs of Samson; but the prayers of the congregation are like the whole of his bushy locks, wherein his strength lay. Therefore, you should, in s phrase, quasi manu facta, with a holy conspiracy, besiege Heaven, and force out a blessing for your pastors." Parallel Verses KJV: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. |
