3 When ever thou art worshipping of God, do not satisfy thy self merely in the duty done, but consider, Do I Sanctify Gods Name in the duty? every time thou worshipest him, examine thy heart whether thou doest it yea or no. And if thou findest that thou hast not attained in some comfortable measure to this that hath been presented to thee; let the shame and the sorrow for that abide upon thy Spirit until the next time thou comest to worship God; at such a time I have been worshipping of God, and God knows I have been stirring up my heart in some measure; but I find my heart dead, wandering, sluggish, and dull; I say, when thou findest thou canst not do it according to what is required in any comfortable measure: Let the shame and sorrow of heart for it abide upon thee till the next time thou comest to worship God, and that will mightily help thee: Thou art now praying, and thou canst not now get up thy heart to what is required; The next time thou comest to prayer, come in the shame and sorrow of thy heart for the want of Sanctifying Gods Name the last time: And so for hearing of ⟨p. 116⟩the Word, or receiving the Sacraments. And this will further thee mightily for the Sanctifying the Name of God in holy duties.
