If we were to frame our selves a reason to make out our Doctrine to the full, what other could we devise more apt and suitable to our pretention than this? Is not prayer ordained to raise up our minds to God? that is wont to be given for the definition of it, elevatio mentis in Deum, a raising up of our minds to God, to praise him or ask favours of him? will it not be conducent and necessary for this purpose to understand the signification of the Psalms and prayers wisely ordered to this end? to say Amen to a prayer you do not understand, may seem like the setting of your hand to a writing without knowing what it contains. |
