Prayer

Though Jewish sacrifice (wee see)
Extinguish'd bee, and out of date:
Yet sacrifices still there bee,
Which wee must daily immolate;
Their sacrifice could not bee done,
Without fine salt, and flames of fire:
So wee, in our devotion,
Must knowledge mixe, with hote desire:
For Prayer without fervent zeale,
And holy knowledge mix'd with this,
A bond is without name, or seale:
Of no effect, and force it is.
