Let such pray seldom as think they owe God no Sacrifice, or receive no blessings from God, or care not for knowledge, or find no infirmities in themselves, or have no crosses, or need no blessing upon their callings and labours: but let all that fear God stir up themselves to pray without ceasing, because God requires it, and hath made gracious promises; because they find daily necessities, and may hereby exercise their faith, and show their love to God and to others, after the example of the Saints, and by the motion of the Spirit of Adoption, which will not be idle in them.
