Now for exhortation, I shall desire you to take notice of four things, and I have done, and shall leave you to God, and commit you to the ⟨image 40⟩word of his grace. If this be so, that there is no holiness in places, then first of all, be the more encouraged to serve God in your Families, in those places where God hath set you, where God is as well pleased with your service as in public places, serve God upon your knees with devotion, humility and reverence. And therefore, though I am against Superstition, and Popish practices, and those wicked cursed traps of innovations, that the men of the World have disturbed the Church of God with; yet I am against putting on your Hats in prayer; and sitting in Prayer. Those that are for holiness of places, do not, with Abraham, in every place they come build God an Altar. But let us in every closet and room build God an Altar; let no morning nor evening go without a Prayer in thy Family, pray often, and pray continually, let your houses be as so many Churches, as you read in Rom. 16.5. Likewise greet the Church that is in their House: and in the second verse of Philemons 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. Pour out fury upon the Heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not upon thy Name) then neglect not Family-Prayers, be much in Prayer, and pray with frequency and encouragement, because God binds you to no place.
