before_o we_o any_o more_o than_o paint_a bread_n can_v stirre-up_a desire_n or_o satisfy_v desire_n be_v stirred-up_a as_o no_o outward_a thing_n can_v inward_o defile_v for_o all_o real_a and_o

it_o can_v give_v but_o poor_a direction_n to_o our_o desire_n second_o nor_o be_v they_o of_o use_n as_o we_o conceive_v for_o the_o excite_v our_o affection_n these_o be_v warm_a and_o hot_a and_o

unless_o they_o pray_v by_o the_o book_n visible_a or_o invisible_a answ_n to_o this_o we_o say_v that_o to_o our_o seem_n if_o they_o do_v pray_v by_o the_o book_n they_o do_v not_o pray_v at_o all_o in_o god_n account_n and_o true_o those_o man_n be_v b●lder_a with_o god_n than_o they_o dare_v be_v with_o man_n have_v they_o offend_v a_o great_a lord_n they_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o offence_n

this_o will_v be_v say_v still_o if_o they_o may_v not_o pray_v by_o the_o book_n they_o can_v pray_v at_o all_o so_o the_o lord_n god_n shall_v have_v no_o service_n from_o they_o at_o all_o answ_n indeed_o the_o lord_n god_n to_o who_o all_o we_o be_v and_o have_v and_o can_v be_v due_a have_v no_o service_n none_o at_o all_o from_o a_o wicked_a man_n his_o lust_n be_v deep_a sharer_n here_o for_o they_o have_v all_o as_o once_o so_o they_o say_v still_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o serve_v the_o lord_n but_o all_o the_o disservice_n 14._o mal._n 3._o 14._o they_o can_v do_v they_o do_v

the_o more_o we_o honour_v he_o and_o ourselves_o the_o less_o and_o the_o less_o we_o know_v of_o god_n the_o less_o we_o honour_v he_o and_o ourselves_o the_o more_o as_o god_n rise_v in_o our_o

in_o these_o stout_a word_n we_o can_v pray_v our_o spirit_n be_v so_o

prayer_n why_o his_o lord_n command_v he_o and_o he_o be_v not_o a_o godly_a minister_n that_o do_v not_o do_v what_o his_o lord_n command_v but_o now_o we_o be_v persuade_v these_o be_v but_o man_n word_n who_o be_v resolve_v to_o say_v something_o to_o carry_v forth_o their_o matter_n before_o the_o people_n though_o they_o can_v prove_v nothing_o nay_o we_o be_v confident_a that_o these_o two_o the_o old_a man_n and_o the_o novice_n affirm_v that_o their_o lord_n command_v they_o to_o join_v his_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o own_o have_v speak_v contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o their_o presumptuous_a word_n will_v be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n and_o herein_o we_o do_v appeal_v to_o the_o godly_a in_o all_o the_o world_n minister_n and_o people_n and_o if_o any_o among_o they_o all_o shall_v affirm_v it_o that_o the_o join_n of_o this_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o be_v command_v he_o of_o his_o lord_n we_o will_v

the_o mediator_n and_o advocate_n of_o his_o church_n have_v not_o of_o his_o father_n but_o by_o aske_v which_o be_v say_v before_o but_o if_o he_o have_v command_v they_o to_o pray_v this_o very_a prayer_n than_o we_o will_v humble_o ask_v why_o shall_v they_o pray_v any_o other_o prayer_n or_o why_o do_v not_o they_o not_o give_v this_o the_o praecedency_n before_o any_o other_o prayer_n this_o be_v give_v they_o under_o a_o special_a command_n to_o pray_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v as_o to_o our_o understanding_n they_o wrest_v their_o lord_n word_n and_o thwart_v his_o scope_n and_o intendment_n whole_o more_o of_o this_o hereafter_o but_o we_o come_v to_o our_o undertakeing_n which_o be_v to_o maintain_v the_o negative_a that_o it_o be_v not_o comely_a for_o a_o minister_n of_o christ_n to_o join_v the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o but_o first_o we_o will_v hear_v how_o they_o do_v maintain_v the_o affirmative_a that_o it_o be_v comely_a for_o a_o minister_n so_o to_o do_v and_o what_o we_o have_v hear_v allege_v for_o the_o maintenance_n thereof_o we_o will_v take_v leave_n to_o set_v down_o in_o this_o place_n first_o godly_a minister_n say_v that_o prayer_n at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o own_o we_o only_o reply_v to_o that_o so_o do_v the_o ungodly_a and_o brutish_a minister_n too_o all_o over_o your_o nationall_n church_n it_o be_v their_o very_a sibboleth_n *_o *_o you_o may_v know_v a_o brutish_a pastor_n as_o by_o his_o walk_n so_o also_o by_o 12._o judg._n 12._o pronounce_v of_o that_o prayer_n we_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o word_n and_o syllable_n there_o these_o he_o can_v frame_v to_o pronounce_v aright_o like_o a_o clerk_n as_o we_o say_v but_o sure_o what_o these_o brutish_a one_o do_v be_v not_o comely_a for_o the_o
