prayer_n at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o temple_n it_o be_v true_a the_o devout_a jew_n do_v pray_v to_o god_n where_o ever_o they_o be_v though_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o temple_n whither_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n or_o out_o of_o it_o but_o then_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o show_v that_o relation_n their_o prayer_n have_v to_o the_o temple_n worship_n 1._o that_o their_o state_v hour_n of_o prayer_n be_v the_o hour_n of_o sacrifice_n which_o plain_o signify_v that_o they_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n in_o conjunction_n with_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v at_o that_o time_n offer_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o pray_v only_o to_o that_o god_n to_o who_o they_o sacrify_v for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o constant_a morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n be_v not_o particular_a sacrifice_n but_o be_v offer_v for_o the_o whole_a congregation_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o every_o man_n have_v a_o share_n in_o they_o hence_o the_o time_n of_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n be_v call_v the_o hour_n of_o prayer_n thus_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o into_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o prayer_n be_v the_o nine_o hour_n that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n hence_o be_v such_o expression_n as_o that_o of_o the_o psalmist_n 1._o acts._n 3._o 1._o let_v my_o prayer_n be_v set_v before_o thou_o as_o incense_n and_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o my_o hand_n as_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n nay_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o when_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n be_v destroy_v and_o the_o people_n carry_v captive_a into_o babylon_n and_o the_o daily_a sacrifice_n cease_v yet_o the_o devout_a people_n observe_v the_o hour_n of_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o prayer_n thus_o daniel_n pray_v three_o time_n a_o day_n which_o most_o likely_o be_v evening_n and_o morning_n and_o noon_n where_o evening_n and_o morning_n no_o doubt_n signify_v the_o time_n of_o the_o evening_n and_o morning_n 17._o dan._n 6._o 10._o psal_n 55._o 17._o sacrifice_n and_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o angel_n gabriel_n come_v to_o daniel_n while_o he_o be_v pray_v and_o touch_v he_o about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o evening_n oblation_n but_o 2_o beside_o 21._o dan._n 9_o 21._o this_o when_o they_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n or_o in_o other_o country_n they_o pray_v towards_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n as_o we_o now_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o heaven_n where_o god_n dwell_v thus_o solomon_n in_o his_o prayer_n of_o dedication_n do_v not_o only_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o hear_v those_o prayer_n which_o be_v make_v towards_o it_o as_o the_o word_n must_v signify_v in_o several_a place_n in_o general_n he_o pray_v harken_v thou_o to_o the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n and_o of_o the_o people_n israel_n when_o they_o shall_v pray_v 30._o 1_o king_n 8._o 30._o towards_o this_o place_n the_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n may_v signify_v both_o in_o and_o towards_o this_o place_n and_o include_v both_o as_o appear_v from_o the_o follow_a instance_n which_o refer_v both_o to_o prayer_n make_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o to_o those_o prayer_n which_o be_v make_v towards_o the_o temple_n by_o person_n who_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n thus_o in_o what_o ever_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n they_o want_v rain_n which_o may_v be_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o jerusalem_n they_o be_v to_o pray_v towards_o this_o place_n 35._o ver_fw-la 35._o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o

they_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n towards_o the_o land_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o towards_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o towards_o the_o temple_n and_o according_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a

6._o 10._o jerusalem_n so_o that_o though_o the_o temple_n be_v not_o the_o only_a place_n where_o they_o may_v lawful_o pray_v to_o god_n yet_o all_o their_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o temple_n and_o receive_v their_o virtue_n and_o acceptation_n from_o their_o relation_n to_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o temple-worship_n this_o be_v a_o stand_a rule_n for_o the_o whole_a

the_o reason_n why_o they_o general_o now_o turn_v themselves_o towards_o the_o east_n when_o they_o pray_v be_v not_o out_o of_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o because_o they_o live_v in_o western_a country_n and_o so_o by_o turn_v to_o the_o east_n they_o look_v towards_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o place_n where_o the_o temple_n stand_v and_o this_o be_v as_o plain_a
