Question. 3. What place must we pray in? Ans. The place is set down, 1. Tim. 2.8. We may pray in all places: of which there is no difference. Some will say, that in the time of the law, the tabernacle and temple were places of divine prayer. Ans. The temple and tabernacle were types of Christ and his Church, and the unity of it: but now, we having the thing it self signified thereby, may pray in all places. Our Saviour prayed in the wilderness, on the Mount, Peter on the house top, Paul by the sea shore: yet so, that public prayer must be used in public places, as Churches, Chapels, &c. not because in them is more holiness, but for order sake.
