I. The Excellency of Ejaculatory Prayer appeareth, In that at all times, and in all places, even in our converses with men, we may thereby converse with God, and enjoy an holy familiarity with him, and yet others in our company take no notice thereof. And when we are about the works of our Calling, we may without any hinderance thereof, lift up our hearts to God in some short Ejaculatory Prayer, for his assistance and blessing, which, though they are but as Parentheses in our worldly employments, yet will prove very advantageous to us therein.
