What if God should tell me, if I trifle with his Majesty, he would strike Q. 8 me sick, or dead, or blind, or deaf and dumb, upon my knees? Should I not then watch my heart in Prayer?
What if I were to speak to an earthly King? or were to see some glorious Q. 9 Angel? Should I not be filled with fear and reverence? and is not God infinitely above these?
What if I were to give an account to God immediately how I pray, and Q. 10 should appear at his Bar as soon as I rise from off my knees? Should I then be formal and lukewarm?
Am I come to have communion with God? to pray down my sin? to please Q. 11 God and profit my Soul? Will careless praying do it?
