ENdeavour above all things, while thy
Soul is in communion with God, to
keep thy affection up to Him, and strive
not so much for long eloquent language,
as to be heart-wounded, in thy Petitions,
for when thy Devotion flags, thy Prayer
is done. We ought always to pray, as if we
were that moment to die, which will keep
our hearts intent on the great work we are
descriptionPage 100
about; And he that in praying, can adorn
his sorrow for past sins, with penitential
tears, before he parts from God, will
wash them off, with tears of joy, for
that sorrow.
