5. It reproves those that have reverence for situation of these places, they must stand East and West, and why not North and South? all these things fall off like fig leaves; if what I have said be true, that there is no holiness in places, and this I have made known to you not only as my judgement, but as my duty.
5. It reproves those that have reverence for scituation of these places, they must stand East and West, and why not North and South? all these things fall off like fig leaves; if what I have said be true, that there is no holiness in places, and this I have made known to you not only as my judgement, but as my duty.

Likewise greet the Church that is in their house: and in the second verse of Philemon's Epistle, To the Church that is in thy house; there the houses of the Saints are called Churches. This will bring a blessing upon your families: And if you be not willing to have that curse denounced against you, (in Jer. 10. 25
