Use Let us be careful and conscionable as in setting unto our selves fit times of prayer, so also in keeping of⟨p. 478⟩ them. Many suffer every small occasion, the least business, a matter of little gain, yea, a matter of pleasure and sport to interrupt their course: They are far from^a Daniels mind. If they could truly feel and discern the sweetness and comfort of prayer, they would be otherwise minded then they are. For our parts let us prefer it to all things, and let all things whatsoever give place to it. Thus shall we manifest our reverend and high account of God, of his worship, and of his blessing. If in the morning necessary business be to be performed, let us rise so much the sooner to pray, rather lose of our sleep then omit that exercise: so at night, if extraordinary business hold thee up late, sit up a little the longer for prayer sake. They who conscionably and constantly use it, think not themselves safe in a morning, till they have commended themselves by prayer to God: they are much disquieted, if by any occasion it be omitted: some dare not eat, nor drink in a morning till they have prayed, nor at even go to bed till they have prayed again. A good religious mind.
