The First Preservative is, A fervent PRAYER. Pour out that Prayer before the Lord, in Psal, 59. 2, 3. Deliver me from the workers of Iniquity, and save me from the bloody ones; for lo, they lie in wait for my soul. And be much in Prayer every day. The Devils are afraid of our Prayers; they tremble and complain, and are in a sort of Anguish while our Prayers are going. There was a house of a Renowned Minister in France infested with evil Spirits; who tho' they had been very troublesome, yet when the good man was betaking himself to prayer, they would say, Now you are going to Prayer, I'll be gone. Let us pray much, and we need fear nothing. Particularly, Let Ejaculatory Prayers be almost continually in our minds, and so we shall never lie open to the fiery darts of the wicked one.
