Private Prayer (5)
Woodruff, an herb of an extraordinary pleasant smell, delighteth in dark and shadowy places; so the Christian, who in company refreseth others with the fragrancy of his graces, loveth sometimes to be obscure and in secret.
A believer hath business of great weight, when he withdraweth from the press of the world - it is that he might draw nearer to the Lord.
The saint is many times most busy when he hath nothing to do, and may say more truly than Scipio the African, Nunquam minus solus, quam cum solus, I am never less alone than when alone.
if thou dost not exercise thyself to godliness in solitude, thou wilt be in great danger of running into sin, and contracting guilt on thy soul.
