“When we would undertake thoughts and meditations of God, his excellencies, his 
properties, his glory, his majesty, his love, his goodness, let it be done in a 
way of speaking unto God, in a deep humiliation and abasement of our souls before
him. This will fix the mind, and draw it forth from one thing to another, to give
glory unto God in a due manner, and affect the soul until it be brought into that
holy admiration of God and delight in him which is acceptable unto him. My meaning
is, that it be done in a way of prayer and praise,—speaking unto God.”

-–John Owen, _The Works of John Owen_, ed. William Goold, (Edinburgh: Banner of 
Truth, 1965), Vol. VI: p. 225.
