S. Augustine saith, We need no utterance of voice, to Pray unto God. For the Sacrifice of Justice is sanctified in the Temple of our mind, and in the secrete Chamber of our heart.1 As Clemens Alexandrinus also saith: God looketh not for the voices of our tongues to declare our meaning: For before our Creation he knoweth, what thoughts would come into our minds.2 And therefore God saith in the Prophet Isaiah, Antequam clament, ego exaudiam. I will hear them, yea before they cry.
