Use 2. To reprove falling down to private prayer, either first, In meeting-houses behind a pillar, in the absence of the people. Secondly, in the presence of the people, but not joining with them. All public duties should be performed, first, with one accord, Acts 1.14. & 2.46. & 4.24. Secondly, to public edification, 1 Cor. 14.26. Also to reprove Latin-service, and Instruction by Images, which are to be seen, not heard. Likewise to reprove standing far off, when we may come within hearing. Also careless and listless carriage in the Congregation, standing like pillars, driving away the time with sleeping, talking gazing about. Likewise running out of doors before all be ended, Moreover lowness of voice in Ministers, which hindereth hearing.
