from_o the_o command_n and_o example_n of_o scripture_n some_o special_a direction_n we_o may_v take_v with_o we_o as_o 1._o that_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o this_o

their_o day_n appoint_v they_o by_o law_n 3._o that_o no_o man_n omit_v to_o perform_v this_o duty_n at_o least_o morning_n and_o evening_n every_o day_n this_o be_v solemn_o require_v of_o the_o

but_o then_o 4._o the_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n in_o scripture_n do_v add_v unto_o this_o number_n some_o more_o some_o less_o david_n in_o one_o place_n specify_v the_o addition_n of_o a_o

as_o peter_n and_o john_n act._n 3._o 1._o which_o be_v there_o call_v a_o hour_n of_o prayer_n it_o seem_v common_o observe_v and_o by_o go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o

of_o godly_a man_n have_v be_v to_o shut_v up_o the_o evening_n with_o a_o compline_n or_o prayer_n at_o nine_o of_o the_o night_n and_o so_o that_o be_v a_o six_o time_n to_o which_o david_n seem_v
