Things to be meditated as thou goest to the Church.
1.1 That thou art going to the Court of the Lord, and to speak with the great God by prayer; and to hear his Majesty speak unto thee by his Word: and to receive his blessing on thy soul, and thy honest labour, in the six days last past.
2. Say with thy self by the way, As the Hart brayeth for the rivers of water,1 so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirstest for God, even for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the presence of God?2 for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand other where. I had rather be a door-keeper in the House of my God, than to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickedness.3 Therefore I will come into thy House in the multitude of thy mercies, and in thy fear will I worship toward thine holy Temple.
