and this is as bad or worse, they may sleep out of natural infirmity, as weakness, age, sickness, &c. But this doth more directly proceed from some sleightness or irreverence: Well then, with what face can we expect the fruit of that Prayer to which we have not attended? It is a great presumption to desire God to hear those requests, a great part whereof we have not heard our selves; if they be not worthy of our attention, they are far more unworthy of Gods. Cyprian or Ruffinus, or whoever was the Author of the Explication of the Lords Prayer in Cyprians Works, hath a notable pass•ge to this purpose, Quo modo te a Deo exaudiri postulas, cum te ipse non audias? Vis Deum esse memorem tui cum rogas, cum ipse tui memor non sis? Thou art unmindful of thy self, thou dost not hear thy self, and how canst thou with reason desire the blessing and comfort of the duty which thou thoughtest not worthy thine own attention and regard. |
