1 Hereby we may more freely pour out our whole hearts unto God:1 it is not meet that any other person should know many things which are known to God, and cannot be concealed from him. Every one is guilty of such particular sins, as are to be acknowledged alone before God, and every one hath particular wants to be prayed for by himself. Hereby also we may by name mention in our prayers to God our dearest friends, which is not so meet to do in company. I think Saint Paul ⟨p. 439⟩meant such Secret prayers, when he said,m I make mention of you always in my prayers.
