6. Neither Prayer, nor any other part of Religious Worship, is now under the Gospel, either tyed unto, or made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or towards which it is directed:a but God is to be Worshipped every where,b in Spirit and Truth;c as in private Familiesd daily,e and in secret, each one by himself;f so, more solemnly, in the publique Assemblies, which are not carelessly, or wilfully to be neglected, or forsaken, when God, by his Word or Providence, calleth thereunto.g
