Un discorso sulla preghiera : e le frequenti preghiere pubbliche quotidiane . Ma allora dobbiamo continuare a vivere come cristiani ; e in particolare riunirci continuamente per il culto cristiano ; altrimenti rinunziamo al nostro battesimo, che ci ha ammessi in una società, e non agire separatamente da soli. La società in cui, se un uomo si comporta scandalmente, che ne è spinto, ha negato di avere comunione con loro nei theirPrayers, tutto il tempo che rimane così tagliato dalla Chiesa.

A discourse concerning prayer : and the frequenting daily public prayers . rist upon the Chris-tian fellowship. But then, we must continuetherein, by living like Christians ; and particu-larly by assembling together continually forChristian worship ; otherwise we renounce ourbaptism, which admitted us into a society, andnot to act separately by ourselves alone. Inwhich society, if any man behave himself soscandalously, that he is thrust out of it, he isdenied to have communion with them in theirPrayers, all the time he remains so cut off fromthe Church. Which is a demonstration, that tohave a communion with the faithful in Prayer, is the very thing unto which we are admittedby being made Christians ! it being the thing ofwhich men are debarred, when they are turnedout of the Christian society. For the farther manifestation of which greattruth, which I have thus explained in general, I shall in the following chapters offer several 6 b o- -o REQUIRES PUBLIC PRAYERS. 193 particular considerations, which deserve tobe seriously pondered in every Christiansthoughts.. 13 6- -o o 194 OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR CHAPER XV.

ND first of all I desire it may be con.-^^ sidered, that our blessed Lord dothplainly suppose this notion of a Church, thatis, of religious assemblies, in the very PrayerHe taught His disciples. The first words ofwhich being, our Father, not ?7iy father ;are an indication, it was not made for a singleperson only, but for a company of men, join-ing together in their petitions to God. Whoare put in mind by this expression, when anyof them says this Prayer alone by himself, thathis Prayer is at that time acceptable ; becausehe is a member of the Church of Christ, andholds communion with the rest of his Christianbrethren. There can be no other reason given, why we say, our Father, even in our clo-sets, but that we pray as part of a body, and o o O 0 TEACHES US THIS DOCTRINE. 195 hope to be hear
