It was an ancient custom to seek God in the morning (take it in the letter) early in the morning. David professes this, Psal. 5.3. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. And Heathens, by the light of nature, took this course in their profane and superstitious worship.1 Herodotus in his tenth book, tells us of the Persian Magi, who addressed themselves early in the morning to seek their false gods. And the Primitive Christians were wondered at for their early devotions. Pliny in an Epistle to Trajan, and Tertullian in his Apologetics for the Christians, report their assemblies, before day-break to pray and call upon God. And there hath been, and still is a superstitious abuse of this among the Papists, who call their morning prayers, their Matins, because they begin early in the morning.
