2 For the practice of the Saints of God herein, the Scripture is very plentiful.1 It is recorded of Job, That he rose early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings before the Lord. He did not only rise in the morning, but early in the morning, giving unto God the first fruits of the day. And Davids morning devotions are often expressed in the book of Psalms;2 As, My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 3And again, O God thou art my God, early will I seek thee. And it is recorded of Daniel, That three times a day he kneeled upon his knees, and prayed, and gave thanks, viz. 4in the morning, before he entered upon any business; at noon, before he went to his dinner; and in the evening, before he went to bed. And that this was his usual practice appears from the following expression, viz. As he did aforetime, i. e. he prayed three times a day, as he was formerly accustomed to do.
