13 Q. Where are private duties of Piety done?
A. In a family or some other private place.
Herein lieth a difference betwixt performing public and private duties, that from the public none are excluded: but private are done by the mutual consent of a certain number: either of such as are under one roof (Josh. 24. 15. Act. 10. 2, 30.) or else of others that agree together for that end (Act. 16. 13.) By private meetings of such as are of the same mind and piously affected, Christians do bring much sweet consolation and mutual edification one to another: and the power and profit of public duties is much promoted thereby.
