The particular place noted, is the House; viz. of Christs usual abode. For he dwelt in Capernaum; Matth. 4.13. & 9.1. Not of his own inheritance, for he had not a house of his own, to hide his head in; Matth. 8.20. But it is like to be that of Simons and Andrew, mentioned before; chap. 1.29.33. For these were likeliest to entertain him: and hither the people resorted once afore verse 33. and so found him out the easier now; and Matth. 17.27. Peter payeth tribute for Christ and himself, as if they had dwelt both together.

Here we see that Christ lets slip no opportunity, but preacheth in a private house, having good occasion: which albeit he and other extraordinary persons, did upon extraordinary times and occasions; yet we must take heed how we draw it into imitation, in a settled Church where the liberty of public assemblies is permitted to all, to the offence of the civill Magistrates. Much less may we with Brownists and Separatists, with draw our selves from the public assemblies to go into Woods, &c.
