Of Place for Prayer.

But how “in every place,” since we are prohibited⁸⁹²⁰Matt. vi. 5, 6, which forbids praying in public. (from praying) in public? In every place, he means, which opportunity or even necessity, may have rendered suitable: for that which was done by the apostles⁸⁹²¹Paul and Silas (Acts xvi. 25). (who, in gaol, in the audience of the prisoners, “began praying and singing to God”) is not considered to have been done contrary to the precept; nor yet that which was done by Paul,⁸⁹²²I have followed Muratori’s reading here. who in the ship, in presence of all, “made thanksgiving to God.”⁸⁹²³Mr. Dodgson renders “celebrated the Eucharist;” but that rendering appears very doubtful. See Acts xxvii. 35.
