[ 304] Preparation to religious Duties, must be free from worldly distractions.

IT was said of Sr.* 1.1 Wil. Cecill, sometime Lord Treasurer of England, that when he went to bed, he would throw off his Gown, and say, Lye there Lord Treasurer, as bidding adieu to all State-affairs, that he might the more quietly repose himself: So when we go to any Religious duty, whether hearing, or praying, comming to the Lord's Table, or in any other religious addresses whatsoever, we should say, Lie by world,* 1.2 lie by all secular cares, all houshold affairs, all pleasures, all traffick, all thoughts of gain. Lie by all, adieu all. We must now be as those, that have nothing to do with the world for the time, we must separate our hearts from all common uses, that our hearts may be wholly for our God.
