1The place is this, Christ taking away the difference of all places, will be worshipped in every place. Neither is thee in his kingdom one place holy & an other profane: but a• places are indifferent, neither canst thou more heartily & better believe, trust, and love God in the temple at the altar, in the churchyard, then in thy •arne, vineyard: kitchen, or bed. And to be short, the martyrs of Christ have honoured him in dark dungeons and prisons. &c.
