"I have resolved to pray more and to pray always, to pray in all places where quietness inviteth, in the house, on the highway and on the street; and to know no street or passage in this city that may not witness that I have forgotten God. 

I purpose to take occasion of praying upon the sight of any church which I may pass, that God may be worshiped there in spirit, and that souls may be saved there; to pray daily for the sick patients and for the patients of other physicians; at my entrance into any home to say 'May the peace of God abide here' ; after hearing a sermon, to pray for a blessing on God's truth, and upon the messenger; upon the sight of a beautiful person to bless God for His creatures, to pray for the beauty of such a one's soul, that God may enrich them inward graces, and that the outward and inward correspond; upon the sight of a deformed person, to pray God to give them wholeness of soul..." 

- Sir Thomas Brown, 1605
