Thou then art a wicked wretch that prayest not.
But the People that forget prayer, ⟨p. 107⟩that call not on the name of the Lord, they have prayer made for them, but it is such as this, Pour out thy fury upon the heathen, O Lord, and upon the people that call not upon thy name, Jer. 10. 25.
How likest thou this, O thou that art so far off from pouring out thine heart before God, that thou goest to bed like a dog, and risest like an hog, or a sot, and forgettest to call upon God?
