In Prayer, laying aside all worldly business but what is of absolute necessity, and as much as in us lies, all worldly Discourse, and earthly or worldly Thoughts; that the Lord on his ⟨p. 275⟩Day may have our Hearts as well as our Ears, Tongues and Feet: and then to attend the public Worship, and that early; on the first Day of the week to seek Jesus, as Mary Magdalen did.
