What prayer is.
Prayer is a simple, unfeigned, humble and ardent opening of the heart before God, wherein we either ask things needful, or give thanks for benefits received. Paul in the first to timothy &. 2. Chap. calleth it by four sundry names in one sentence, ⟨image 5⟩to wit, prayer, supplication, intercession and thanks giving. In latin, Deprecatio, Obsecratio, inte recssio, et gratiarum actio. Whereof the first is for the avoiding and preventing of evil, the second is an earnest and fervent calling upon god for any thing, the third is an intercession for other, the fourth is a praising of God for things received.
