[p. 11.] par. 2. vid. col. 673.] Digitized by VjOOQ IC 9KCT. 2J.] 07 THS RELIGION OV HOLT PLACSS. 319 the apostle^ kept their first couucil^ aad compiled their creed: by these actions^ and their frequent conv^itions^ shewing the same reason^ order, and pudence of religion, in assignation of special places of divine service, which were ever observed by aU the nations, and religions, and wise men of the wor...ld. And it were a strange imagination to lancy that in Christian religion there is any princime contrary to that wisidom of God and all the world^ which, for order, for necessity, for convenience, for the sol^nnity of worship, hath set apart places Jot God and for religion. Private prayer had always an nnlimited residence and relation, eveii under Moses' law; but the public solemn prayer of sacrifice in the law of Moses was restrained to one temple : in the law of nature it was laot confined to one, but yet determmed to public and solemn places; and when the holy Jesus disparked the enclosures of Moses, we all returned to the per- missions and liberty of the natural law, in which although the pubhc and solemn prayers were confined to a temple, yet the temple was not confined to a place ; but they might be any where, so they were at all ; instruments of order, conveniences of assembling, residences of rd^on : and God, who always loved order, and was apt to hear all holy and prudent prayers, (and therefore abo the prayers of con- secration,) hath often dedared that He loves mich places, that He will dweU in them; not that they are advantages to Him, but that He is pleased to make them so to us.
