Note 907 — THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D. (continued 5)
Reading edition
'Be careful thou dost not speak a lie in thy prayers, which though not observed is frequently practised by careless persons, especially in the forms of confession, affirming things which they have not thought, professing sorrow which is not, making a vow they mean not.' Taylor's Works, ed. 1865, vii. 622.
