And therefore in their prayers, (when you may be cast to hear them in public) all their expressions in prayer, are either extolling the majesty of God, the excellency of Christ, the glory of Heaven, the riches of Grace, but not a word of laying low the creature in prayer; but raptures in prayer, and the extolling of divine Majesty: these are all the dialects of expressions which they use in prayer.
