Sincerity and Secret Prayer

Sincerity. My son, give me thy heart; whatsoever else we tender unto God, if this be wanting, it is but the carcass of a duty.—Ezekiel Hopkins.
Secret Prayer. In public and family duties, we may admit of the company of others to join with us; and, if they be such as fear God, the more the better. But in secret duties, Christ and thou must whisper it over betwixt yourselves; and then the company of the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend that is as thine own soul would not be welcome.—Flavel.
