1626 April 12, John Donne, Sermon on 1 Corinthians xv. 29.; republished as “Sermon XIX”, in The Works of John Donne, D.D., volume 1, London: John W. Parker, 1839, page 373:This is the harmony, this is the resurrection of a Christian, in this respect, that his soul be always so fixed upon God, as that he do nothing but with relation to his glory principally, and habitually; that he think of God, at all times, but that, besides that, he sepose sometimes, to think of nothing but God: that he pray continually, so far, as to say nothing, to wish nothing, that he would not be content God should hear, but that, besides that, he sepose certain fixed times for private prayer in his chamber, and for public prayer in the congregation.
