That princely prophet David describing the perverse nature and wicked properties of the ungodly and reprobates, amongst other crimes whereof he […] accuse them, he layeth also to their charge that they have not called upon God. By the which words he doth manifestly teach, that they which do not give themselves to […] and faithful prayer and […] ge of the name of God, are in the number of those which do say in their hearts there is no God. For as the Godly by their earnest and continual praying and praising of the name of God, do declare their reverend fear they bear towards his divine majesty, and their unfeigned love the which is grafted in their harts by the gracious and divine spirit, towards their heavenly and most loving father, by the which they are encouraged willingly and cheerfully to walk in the way of Godliness, and to frame their lives to the will and pleasure of him whom they fear and love: So on the contrary side, the ungodly, in that they do not call upon their God, neither praise him, most evidently declare that they stand not in awe of him, nor love him, but rather despise him as one that is neither able to hurt or pleasure them.
