To this I answer, that a man is bound, (notwithstanding 1any sin that he hath committed, be it what it will be) to keep his course constantly in prayer, and not to omit it, not to keep off, not to defer it. And my ground for it is, because this is a duty, it is a charge that God hath laid upon all, to pray continually; that is, at the least twice a day, as we showed before, to keep a constant course in it: now, it is certain, our failing in one thing, must not excuse us in another. 2When the duty lies on us, we have no dispensation to be negligent in it; and therefore we are bound to do it.
