those were properly yours and pe∣culiar to that great soul to which God did in so singular a manner communicat himself. I am con∣tented with the more solid part of prayer, and do humbly beg you to obtain of God for me a true love and affection to it, attention in it, and fruit out of it. Such a love of it, as never to omit it or assign the worst part of the day for it. Such an attention to it, that I may never be voluntarily distracted in it. Such fruit from it as may correct my defects and manners, and encrease the vertues most re∣quisite for my state and calling. This is what I beg of you, O most glorious Apostle! and for this end I make a purpose to vse such meanes as are requisit.
