And because we are apt to slide into such formality and lukewarmness (when we use constant Family Prayer) which eats out the very heart and life thereof, and hinders our benefit thereby, I shall propose twenty five Questions, some of which at one time, and some at another, you may put unto your selves to make you lively in your duty. But I shall, I must but name them, because I would not willingly take up more paper than comes unto my share, as also that lying close together, you may the better have them in your eye.
When thou art called to Family Prayer, put some of these Questions to thy self.
WHAT AM I? A sinful Sinner, Dust, Ashes, Guilty. Oh how should Q. 1 a guilty person going to the dust pray for pardon!
WHERE AM I? In whose presence do I kneel? is it not before God? Q. 2 and doth not he know whether I trifle or am serious?
