up_o in_o public_a and_o in_o family_n and_o it_o be_v a_o turn_a god_n worship_n into_o a_o ceremony_n and_o superstition_n to_o think_v that_o you_o must_v necessary_o put_v up_o the_o same_o prayer_n in_o a_o closet_n which_o you_o put_v up_o in_o the_o family_n or_o church_n when_o you_o have_v not_o time_n for_o both_o though_o when_o you_o have_v time_n secret_a prayer_n have_v its_o

when_o you_o can_v come_v to_o church_n assembly_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o think_v that_o the_o day_n must_v be_v divide_v in_o equal_a proportion_n between_o public_a family_n
