1. Some Rent you have to pay alone; for 1this, the Scripture is as clear as can be, Mat. 6.6. When thou prayest, enter into thy closet; and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. And to this agrees the practise of Jesus Christ, and of the Saints in Scripture; witness, Gen. 32.24. Nehem. 1.4. Dan. 9.3. Mark 1.35. And Reason it self persuades, seeing that each of you have secret sins, secret wants, and secret affairs with God, which require private converse between God and your Souls.
