My custom was, when I went to the house of God, to fall on my knees, and with great humility and earnestness of soul to implore a blessing upon what I was going to hear; I then rose up, and fixed my eyes on the preacher, and scarcely ever moved them till all was over. This occasioned a gentleman of the town, whom I reproved for swearing, to say, "When you come to church, you fix your eyes on the parson, and never move them till he has done."
