1 Taken from the practice of the faithful in all ages. 1We read it was Abraham's practice wheresoever he came, to build an Altar to God, where God should be called upon jointly by him and his family. We read likewise it was Jobs practice, as you shall find, Job 1. 5. And Joshua's, as appears by his protestation, as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. 2In the New Testament it is recorded of Cornelius, 3That he was a devout wan, who feared God with all his house, and prayed to God always; which implieth he kept a constant course in prayer. Now these things are recorded for our learning, that so we might write after their Copy, by following their Example in so excellent a duty.
