When thou prayest, enter into thy closet; and, when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

My son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind ; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imagmations of the thoughts : if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever. David to Solomon.

  2. (Applies to the whole work): If the metadata be correct, it’s an 1841 reprint of much older (1-2 centuries) material. By 1840, the “long s” (“ſ”) had been disused for ~40 years; future scholars are advised that it’s deployed herein in a scattershot, random manner, as the publisher likely never learned or had forgotten the rules governing its proper use.
