INTRODUCTION. ed in those words of our blessed Saviour, Matth. Vi. 6. " But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, " &c. In which He doth not exclude public Prayer ; but only forbids os- tentation in it ; and commands us out of love to God, not out of love to popular applause ; that we may be truly good, and not merely thought so, to open our hearts to Him, when nobody sees us, but He alone. That is the thing I intend to evince ; that it is the duty of every Christian to retire himself ...from business and from company, that he may pray to God. In treating of which, I think it will be useful, if I distinctly shew, Jirst, the na- ture of this duty ; secondly, the necessity of it ; thirdly, the great benefits we may derive from its serious performance.
