he_o honour_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n by_o be_v earnest_n for_o what_o god_n have_v promise_v though_o it_o be_v unseen_a he_o honour_v the_o omnisciency_n of_o god_n by_o content_v himself_o with_o his_o eye_n and_o his_o car_n alone_o he_o sanctify_v his_o omnipresence_n by_o believe_v that_o his_o god_n can_v hear_v he_o and_o be_v with_o he_o in_o what_o corner_n soever_o he_o creep_v into_o i_o may_v be_v large_a in_o speak_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o this_o duty_n but_o i_o refer_v it_o rathe_n to_o another_o place_n but_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o what_o i_o have_v deliver_v as_o if_o i_o will_v by_o this_o exclude_v family-prayer_n no_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o for_o god_n in_o these_o do_v many_o time_n exceed_o refresh_v his_o but_o because_o a_o man_n can_v possible_o judge_v so_o well_o of_o himself_o by_o public_a prayer_n as_o he_o can_v by_o secret_a and_o hypocrisy_n and_o pride_n do_v not_o usual_o so_o much_o attend_v secret_a duty_n as_o more_o public_a it_o be_v possible_a in_o more_o public_a duty_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v much_o raise_v and_o be_v very_o warm_a and_o high_a in_o his_o expression_n and_o almost_o ravish_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o hearer_n whereas_o he_o may_v be_v all_o that_o while_o act_v only_o by_o a_o proud_a heart_n and_o for_o all_o that_o i_o know_v the_o devil_n himself_o may_v help_v a_o man_n thus_o to_o pray_v sometime_o this_o i_o be_o confident_a of_o he_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o such_o prayer_n as_o these_o which_o tend_v so_o much_o to_o the_o harden_v of_o a_o sinner_n and_o make_v he_o believe_v that_o his_o hear_v be_v warm_v with_o communion_n with_o god_n when_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o secret_a self-pleasing_a that_o those_o that_o join_v with_o he_o may_v think_v very_o high_o of_o he_o as_o one_o that_o be_v pass_v spiritual_a in_o his_o performance_n o_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v deep_a and_o desperate_o full_a of_o deceit_n but_o now_o there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o temptation_n in_o secret_a closet-prayer_n and_o there_o a_o soul_n may_v be_v more_o particular_a in_o its_o complaint_n and_o petition_n more_o earnest_a in_o plead_v with_o god_n and_o may_v use_v such_o expostulation_n posture_n and_o gesture_n such_o intermission_n and_o groan_n such_o pause_n as_o will_v be_v very_o unfit_a for_o more_o public_a duty_n wherefore_o i_o lie_v somewhat_o the_o more_o stress_n upon_o this_o duty_n of_o secret_a prayer_n but_o this_o i_o say_v again_o where_o one_o of_o they_o be_v practise_v conscientious_o the_o other_o will_v not_o be_v neglect_v i_o may_v add_v the_o practice_n &_o experience_n of_o god_n child_n to_o enforce_v this_o duty_n david_n will_v never_o have_v be_v at_o it_o so_o oft_o at_o midnight_n if_o he_o have_v get_v nothing_o at_o all_o by_o it_o peter_n will_v scarce_o have_v forget_v to_o eat_v when_o he_o be_v a_o hungry_a except_o he_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o bit_n in_o a_o corner_n to_o stay_v his_o stomach_n 3._o fast_v especial_o private_a fast_n be_v another_o duty_n wherein_o god_n meet_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n visit_v god_n this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v

meet_v together_o to_o communicate_v experience_n or_o to_o discourse_v together_o about_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o god_n what_o tho_o most_o of_o the_o world_n be_v ashamed_a to_o own_o religion_n when_o it_o be_v out_o of_o fashion_n what_o though_o but_o sew_v dare_v meet_v together_o to_o speak_v of_o god_n goodness_n and_o to_o praise_v he_o and_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n why_o christ_n say_v though_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o of_o they_o he_o will_v make_v the_o number_n one_o the_o more_o he_o will_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o though_o they_o dare_v but_o whisper_n it_o may_v be_v and_o their_o meeting_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o do_v good_a to_o one_o another_o may_v be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o public_a magistrate_n and_o consequent_o what_o they_o do_v in_o this_o kind_n must_v be_v do_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o hazard_n yet_o the_o people_n of_o god_n stand_v not_o long_o dispute_v they_o know_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n yet_o they_o will_v be_v wise_a in_o it_o too_o not_o to_o dare_v the_o magistrate_n and_o to_o do_v what_o they_o do_v to_o confront_v authority_n but_o in_o the_o uprightness_n of_o their_o soul_n they_o desire_v to_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o though_o they_o manage_v their_o business_n with_o never_o so_o much_o secrecy_n god_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o they_o he_o hearken_v and_o hear_v and_o a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n be_v write_v for_o they_o that_o call_v oft_o upon_o his_o name_n and_o god_n will_v make_v they_o
