hold, lest falling down it sink to the Earth in love; wipe, lest it be sullied with the dust of vain thoughts; look on, that it divert not the eye and intention to vain studies. Can we hope that that Man's prayer should be acceptable to God, whose heart in stead of being lifted up to the throne of Grace, is sunk into the Earth by the love of Terrene pleasures? No, we must have hearts purified with the fire of Divine love, and hands wash'd in innocency before we can be acceptable. |
