Matthew 6:5 Douay-Rheims

And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(ubi sup.) Not that the mere being seen of men is an impiety, but the doing this, in order to be seen of men.
