'* Here also we ought to con- fess iur miore particular sins, v/hich the world knows not, and pour out our wholci souis before God, with great freedom, and plainness : tell him ail our follies, our in- firmities, our joys, and sorrows ; cur brightest hopes, and our most gloomy and dismal fears, and all the in- ward workings of our hearts, either towards himself, or iQwards the creatures. Then we converse with God aright in prayer, when we, us it v/ere, mamtain a divine friendship witli him in s...ecret, and in our humble address- es hold correspond tjnce with him as our heavenly and condescending Friend. G 74 OF THE ?. IATTER OF PRAYER. When we pray in a family, the matter must be suit- ed to the circumstances ofthehousliold, in confession of family sins, petitions, and thanksgiving^s for family nier- cies; whelher tliose with whom we live are sick or in health ; whether they are in distress or in peace ; whe- ther fixed in their habitations, or removing ; and our lan- guage to God ought to be suited to this variety of condi- tions* If we pray among a select society of Christians, v/e £lraw near unto God with holy boldness, something like what we use in our duties of secret worship ; we have reason to take more freedom among those that are fel- low saints, and whose hearts have felt many of the -same "Workings with our own.
