Think not any business or haste (though never so great) a sufficient excuse to omit prayer in the Morning, but meditate:
THink not any business or haste (though never so great) a sufficient excuse to omit prayer in the Morning, but meditate:
1. That the greater thy business is, by so much the more need thou hast to pray for God's good speed and blessing thereon: seeing it is certain, that nothing can prosper without his blessing.
2. That many a Man, when he thought himself surest, hath been soonest crossed, so mayest thou.
2. That many a Man, when he thought himself surest, hath been soonest crossed, so maist thou.
3. That many a Man hath gone out of his door, and never come in again.1 Many a Man who rose well and lively in the morning, hath been seen a dead Man ere night. So may it befall thee: and if thou be so careful, before thou goest abroad, to drink, to fence thy body from ill airs; how much more careful shouldest thou be to pray, to preserve thy soul from evil temptations?
