1. Praise. Might not David praise God in any place? Yes, David might and must bless the Lord in any place, in every place: but the place that is principally destined to this purpose, is Domus Dei; Gods House. The name which God imposed on his house, and by which, as it were, he Christened it; was Domus orationis, the house of prayer. As Christ, Math. 21. derives it from Esa. 56. My house shall be called the house of prayer. Therefore those 1houses were called in the Primitive times, Dominica, the Lords houses; and Oratoria, houses of prayer, devoted to the praise of God.
