the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o religion_n have_v a_o deep_a root_n and_o a_o strong_a influence_n on_o we_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v god_n demand_v our_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n as_o if_o he_o receive_v any_o benefit_n from_o they_o any_o addition_n to_o his_o happiness_n be_v fond_a to_o hear_v himself_o entreat_v and_o commend_v or_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o willing_a to_o do_v we_o good_a but_o must_v be_v overcome_v as_o it_o be_v through_o mere_a importunity_n by_o many_o repeat_v address_n but_o experience_n teach_v we_o how_o apt_a they_o be_v to_o create_v in_o we_o a_o vigorous_a sense_n of_o god_n our_o duty_n and_o eternal_a interest_n and_o how_o necessary_a to_o preserve_v it_o since_o any_o considerable_a neglect_n therein_o bereave_v we_o by_o degree_n of_o that_o devout_a and_o zealous_a temper_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a root_n of_o all_o true_a holiness_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v not_o for_o nothing_o our_o bless_a saviour_n spend_v so_o many_o hour_n both_o day_n and_o night_n in_o meditation_n and_o prayer_n it_o be_v not_o for_o nothing_o he_o set_v so_o good_a a_o example_n to_o we_o and_o give_v we_o a_o express_a command_n to_o watch_v and_o pray_v always_o luke_n 21.36_o and_o his_o apostle_n after_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o continue_v in_o prayer_n and_o watch_v in_o the_o same_o with_o thanksgiving_n col._n 4.2_o will_v not_o one_o guess_v christian_n after_o this_o to_o be_v the_o most_o devout_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o most_o constant_a in_o prayer_n yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o he_o have_v not_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n that_o sing_v unto_o god_n i_o have_v remember_v thy_o name_n o_o lord_n in_o the_o night_n and_o have_v keep_v thy_o law_n seven_o time_n a_o day_n do_v i_o praise_v thou_o in_o the_o night-season_n i_o be_o not_o silent_a i_o call_v to_o remembrance_n my_o song_n in_o the_o night_n i_o commune_v with_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o my_o spirit_n make_v diligent_a search_n psal_n 119.55_o &_o 164._o ps_n 22.2_o &_o 77.6_o even_o the_o mahometans_n we_o be_v tell_v fear_v that_o a_o whole_a night_n will_v cause_v too_o great_a a_o interval_n between_o their_o devotion_n interrupt_v their_o sleep_n and_o rise_v constant_o every_o night_n to_o spend_v some_o of_o that_o time_n in_o prayer_n but_o we_o who_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o our_o master_n and_o teacher_n nay_o for_o our_o guide_n and_o pattern_n we_o that_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v without_o cease_v 1_o thess_n 5.17_o that_o be_v constant_o how_o cold_a and_o careless_a be_v we_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o those_o that_o call_v themselves_o christian_n will_v spend_v so_o much_o as_o a_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n in_o god_n service_n if_o ever_o they_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v but_o by_o fit_n and_o how_o uneasy_a and_o unattentive_a be_v the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o all_o the_o while_n strange_a we_o scandalize_v our_o neighbour_n and_o those_o we_o live_v and_o converse_v with_o often_o perhaps_o in_o a_o day_n it_o will_v make_v some_o reparation_n if_o present_o after_o we_o give_v they_o the_o mark_v of_o our_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n by_o our_o devotion_n and_o the_o constancy_n earnestness_n and_o fervency_n of_o our_o prayer_n but_o alas_o how_o little_a be_v this_o mind_v what_o make_v we_o so_o dull_a and_o sottish_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o eternal_a salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n when_o we_o be_v so_o sagacious_a so_o earnest_a and_o vigilant_a about_o poor_a momentany_a concern_v for_o shame_v let_v we_o not_o long_o be_v so_o very_o childish_a and_o foolish_a if_o we_o will_v act_v serious_o and_o rational_o to_o mean_v and_o do_v as_o we_o profess_v we_o must_v either_o renounce_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n or_o become_v new_a creature_n that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a as_o our_o bless_a lord_n be_v holy_a and_o as_o his_o divine_a religion_n indispensable_o oblige_v we_o to_o be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o that_o name_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o rise_v eat_v and_o drink_v follow_v their_o worldly_a business_n lie_v down_o at_o night_n and_o scarce_o ever_o think_v of_o god_n all_o the_o while_n though_o they_o can_v subsist_v one_o moment_n without_o he_o and_o they_o receive_v from_o he_o daily_o nay_o hourly_o innumerable_a benefit_n they_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o disciple_n and_o follower_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v perfect_a stranger_n with_o god_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o there_o be_v so_o little_a zeal_n so_o little_a charity_n and_o so_o much_o malice_n and_o wickedness_n to_o be_v see_v among_o those_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v we_o shall_v soon_o see_v with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n that_o primitive_a christian_a purity_n break_v forth_o and_o shine_v again_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o if_o man_n will_v be_v persuade_v to_o use_v constant_a devotion_n in_o their_o family_n many_o excuse_v themselves_o as_o if_o
