By Ejaculatory Prayers and Praises, I mean, The sudden lifting up of the heart unto God upon some present occasion, either in way of Petition, or Thanksgiving.
Which kind of Prayers we find commanded under those general Precepts of praying always, 1and praying without ceasing; 2The meaning whereof is not that thou shouldest wholly and only attend on prayer, so as to neglect the word, and other duties of ⟨p. 12⟩piety, or the ordinary works of thy calling: But that besides thine ordinary and set times of prayer, thou shouldest always have a praying frame of spirit, be ready upon all occasions to lift up thine heart unto God in some short Ejaculations.
