A. In some secret place between God and ones self alone. Mat. 14. 23.
A. In some secret place betweene God and ones selfe alone. Mat. 14. 23.
No place is exempted from secret duties, so as a Christian may be there alone, and none with him; In relation to such duties, thus saith the Lord, enter into thy Chamber, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray, Mat. 6. 6. Secret duties ought so to be performed, as none but God should know what we are about: so will thy soul be the more upright, and freed from hypocrisy and vain-glory: so will the duties bring the more comfort to the performers thereof.
