Fourthly, if God in essence be present every where, then it is needless to make choice of places in regard of holiness, for the worship1 of God, for one place is no more near to God then an other: which2 confutes the vanity of Popish Pilgrimages to chief places for religious worship: and it checketh also the blind opinion of many among us, who think the Church is the only place of prayer and other parts of Gods worship; whereupon they never regard to pray in their private houses. But God is in thee, and in thy house, as well as in the Church, and therefore thou mayest lift up pure hands unto God in all places, and must pray at home, as well as in the Church (always provided that thou honour Gods ordinance in the public assemblies.)
