can
be
offered
alike
by
princes,
kings,
prelates,
magis-trates,
soldiers,
children,
artisans,
labourers,
women,
and
the
sick.
This
prayer
is
not
mental,
but
of
the
heart
It
is
not
a
prayer
of
thought
alone,
because
the
mind
of
man
is
so
limited,
that
while
it
is
occupied
with
one
thing
it
cannot
be
thinking
of
another.
But
it
is
the
prayer
of
the
heart,
which
cannot
be
interrupted
by
the
occupations
of
the
mind.
Nothing
can
interrupt
the
prayer
of
the
heart
but
unruly
affections
;
and
when
once
we
have
tasted
of
the
love
of
God,
it
is
impossible
to
find
our
delight
in
anything
but
Himself.
Nothing
is
easier
than
to
have
God
and
to
live
upon
Him.
He
is
more
truly
in
us
than
we
are
in
ourselves.
He
is
more
anxious
to
give
Himself
to
us
than
we
are
to
possess
Him.
All
that
we
want
is
to
know
the
way
to
seek
Him,
which
is
so
easy
and
so
natural,
that
breathing
itself
is
not
more
so.
Oh,
you
who
imagine
yourselves
incapable
of
religious
feeling,
you
may
live
in
prayer
and
in
