Marvelous Prayer Advice and Guidance
To be found in The Golden Grove of Jeremy Taylor.
3. Never let any one think it an excuse to lie in bed, because he hath nothing to do when he is up: for whoever hath a Soul, and hopes to save that Soul, hath work enough to do to make his calling and election sure, to serve God, and to pray, to reade, and to meditate, to repent and to amend, to do good to others, and to keep evil from themselves. And if thou hast little to do, thou ought'st to imploy the more time in laying up for a greater Crown of Glory.
4. At your opening your eyes, enter upon the day with some act of piety.
1. Of thanksgiving for the preservation of you the night past.2. Of the glorification of God for the works of the Creation, or any thing for the honour of God.
