FIrst, you are to remember when you settle to Pray∣er, you then place your self in the presence of God, whose eyes are upon all men, but especially upon such as call upon him.
Secondly, the considera∣tion of his presence is to put you in mind, with what hum∣ble Reverence both of Soul and Body, you ought to ap∣pear before so great a Ma∣jesty.
Thirdly, before you begin to Pray, you are to resolve within your self seriously to intend the Duty you are a∣bout, that your heart may not wander, but go along with your Prayers, or if through weakness, it hap∣pen to stray, to call it back again, and to ask pardon for it in some such short Prayer as this:
Lord, strengthen me and re∣strain me, and lay not this weakness to my charge.
