The godly man is a praying man:

The true fearers of God will practice family prayer

The sincere servants of God will make conscience of secret prayer

Baptised persons are under sacred and awful obligation to the Lord

The Lord's Supper is an ordinance which believers are under an indispensible obligation to observe

It is the property of a sincere godly man, not to sit with vain persons

Sleeping at sermons is a great and a dangerous evil.
