peter_n martyr_n with_o four_o other_o divine_n will_v defend_v this_o book_n and_o each_o particle_n thereof_o against_o all_o the_o papist_n in_o england_n and_o he_o do_v indeed_o at_o last_o

their_o religion_n into_o geneva_n or_o the_o low-countries_n do_v even_o there_o use_v this_o very_a form_n of_o prayer_n which_o they_o have_v bring_v with_o they_o out_o of_o england_n as_o think_v it_o the_o best_a test_n of_o their_o religion_n for_o which_o they_o flee_v and_o the_o sure_a badge_n of_o their_o communion_n in_o which_o they_o persist_v i_o say_v they_o do_v use_v our_o

which_o when_o doctor_n grindal_n tell_v bishop_n ridley_n as_o he_o be_v in_o prison_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o flame_n the_o very_a next_o day_n the_o holy_a martyr_n break_v out_o into_o this_o bitter_a complaint_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o mr._n knox_n shall_v at_o this_o time_n set_v himself_o against_o the_o poor_a protestant_n of_o england_n and_o find_v fault_n with_o their_o service_n book_n wherein_o though_o his_o wit_n may_v chance_v find_v something_o to_o cavil_v at_o yet_o shall_v he_o never_o be_v able_a to_o find_v matter_n of_o just_a exception_n as_o if_o any_o thing_n therein_o contain_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o die_a martyr_n testimony_n concern_v our_o common_a prayer_n book_n to_o which_o i_o can_v

which_o calvin_n be_v please_v to_o call_v tolerabiles_fw-la ineptias_fw-la tolerable_a folly_n who_o doubtless_o do_v see_v intolerable_a folly_n in_o other_o conceive_a prayer_n this_o same_o book_n be_v again_o the_o four_o time_n correct_v and_o amend_v in_o the_o day_n of_o that_o renown_a queen_n elizabeth_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o these_o correction_n and_o amendment_n meet_v still_o with_o

she_o can_v not_o silence_v they_o for_o though_o they_o pretend_v only_o to_o make_v some_o objection_n against_o this_o form_n yet_o their_o intent_n be_v indeed_o to_o have_v no_o set_a form_n whereby_o to_o put_v religion_n whole_o into_o their_o own_o mouth_n if_o not_o out_o of_o the_o people_n heart_n this_o make_v they_o despise_v that_o book_n which_o cranmer_n ridly_n bucer_n peter_n

i_o must_v profess_v that_o as_o a_o christian_a divine_a i_o have_v bestow_v much_o pain_n in_o view_v the_o christian_a form_n of_o public_a worship_n and_o i_o can_v yet_o find_v any_o one_o liturgy_n in_o all_o christendom_n to_o which_o i_o can_v willing_o and_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n say_v amen_o in_o all_o particular_n save_v only_o this_o of_o our_o own_o church_n with_o which_o i_o can_v but_o most_o hearty_o and_o willing_o join_v in_o every_o prayer_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o find_v this_o liturgy_n have_v in_o it_o all_o the_o chief_a pious_a and_o pithy_a devotion_n of_o greek_a and_o latin_a liturgy_n but_o the_o superstition_n of_o neither_o and_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o persuade_v myself_o that_o other_o man_n especial_o of_o my_o call_n will_v not_o so_o easy_o forsake_v much_o less_o so_o open_o revile_v this_o public_a form_n of_o worship_n if_o they_o do_v serious_o consider_v how_o direct_o it_o tend_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o people_n good_a and_o how_o much_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n trust_v that_o her_o public_a worship_n shall_v direct_o tend_v to_o both_o for_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o most_o inestimable_a privilege_n of_o piety_n that_o we_o can_v join_v in_o prayer_n with_o saint_n augustine_n saint_n chrysostom_n and_o all_o the_o other_o greek_a and_o latin_a father_n nay_o with_o saint_n peter_n and_o saint_n paul_n who_o if_o they_o be_v present_a at_o our_o service_n will_v not_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v in_o our_o prayer_n whatever_o our_o own_o seduce_a brethren_n may_v refuse_v because_o they_o be_v all_o easy_o and_o plain_o reducible_a to_o the_o lord_n most_o holy_a prayer_n in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o in_o our_o belief_n glorify_v god_n as_o they_o do_v and_o true_o the_o repeat_n of_o the_o creed_n do_v more_o true_o glorify_v god_n than_o any_o other_o profession_n of_o his_o truth_n which_o we_o can_v make_v but_o also_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o invocate_v he_o as_o they_o do_v whereby_o we_o do_v not_o only_o speculative_o profess_v or_o acknowledge_v but_o also_o practical_o maintain_v and_o uphold_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o be_v sure_a we_o shall_v both_o profess_v and_o practice_v that_o communion_n if_o we_o communicate_v with_o our_o own_o church_n which_o have_v such_o a_o form_n of_o worship_n as_o do_v profess_v and_o practice_v it_o for_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o pray_v as_o they_o once_o pray_v while_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o pray_v according_a to_o the_o lord_n own_o most_o holy_a prayer_n which_o certain_o they_o must_v needs_o want_v who_o do_v not_o beforehand_o know_v their_o form_n of_o prayer_n but_o come_v first_o to_o hear_v and_o then_o to_o pray_v so_o that_o if_o the_o preacher_n chance_v to_o abuse_v their_o patience_n by_o some_o new-found_a upstart_n divinity_n in_o his_o sermon_n they_o may_v be_v sure_a he_o will_v much_o more_o abuse_v their_o piety_n by_o some_o new-found_a upstart_n devotion_n in_o his_o prayer_n since_o his_o business_n be_v to_o turn_v his_o sermon_n into_o his_o prayer_n and_o that_o may_v be_v either_o of_o so_o bad_a

and_o who_o religion_n may_v be_v rebellion_n in_o his_o prayer_n so_o that_o the_o congregation_n which_o depend_v mere_o upon_o his_o lip_n must_v have_v no_o prayer_n if_o they_o will_v not_o be_v

our_o church_n do_v not_o command_v it_o and_o it_o be_v probable_a do_v scarce_o approve_v it_o yet_o we_o have_v not_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o much_o better_a piety_n and_o sure_o we_o have_v fill_v it_o with_o much_o worse_a divinity_n for_o we_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o many_o ignorant_a people_n to_o deny_v that_o trinity_n which_o we_o ourselves_o do_v disow_v in_o that_o we_o neither_o will_v begin_v in_o his_o name_n nor_o will_v end_v with_o his_o glory_n tell_v i_o if_o there_o be_v any_o jew_n in_o the_o world_n that_o will_v not_o pray_v to_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a god_n or_o in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n as_o well_o as_o we_o if_o therefore_o we_o ourselves_o will_v not_o be_v think_v nor_o have_v other_o to_o be_v make_v jew_n or_o which_o be_v as_o bad_a anti-trinitarians_a let_v we_o not_o think_v we_o pray_v as_o christian_n unless_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o do_v indeed_o glorify_v god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n for_o we_o be_v alike_o indebt_v to_o all_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o prayer_n the_o father_n accept_v the_o son_n recommend_v

this_o be_v the_o grand_a reason_n that_o the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o publlike_n if_o not_o of_o their_o private_a devotion_n because_o they_o be_v sure_a that_o all_o such_o prayer_n as_o they_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a bible_n come_v to_o they_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o they_o can_v not_o desire_v better_a expression_n than_o he_o in_o their_o mouth_n as_o not_o better_a motion_n than_o he_o in_o their_o heart_n not_o doubt_v but_o god_n will_v ready_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o he_o will_v ready_o own_v the_o motion_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n for_o this_o be_v the_o confidence_n that_o we_o all_o have_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o if_o we_o ask_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o will_n he_o hear_v we_o 1_o joh._n 5._o 14._o and_o we_o can_v but_o think_v that_o one_o ready_a way_n to_o ask_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o will_n be_v to_o ask_v it_o according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o his_o be_v all_o the_o word_n that_o be_v write_v either_o by_o the_o propher_n or_o by_o the_o apostle_n for_o our_o instruction_n for_o they_o all_o come_v from_o they_o all_o lead_n to_o the_o eternal_a word_n so_o that_o in_o truth_n all_o those_o heavenly_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n which_o we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v no_o other_o than_o so_o many_o set_a form_n of_o infallible_a and_o impeccable_a liturgy_n give_v to_o the_o church_n from_o god_n the_o father_n through_o god_n the_o son_n and_o by_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o church_n will_v show_v but_o little_a dutifulness_n and_o less_o thankfulness_n if_o she_o do_v not_o according_o make_v a_o frequent_a and_o a_o good_a use_n of_o they_o in_o her_o own_o liturgy_n or_o if_o she_o do_v not_o make_v liturgy_n of_o her_o own_o both_o in_o imitation_n of_o those_o and_o in_o obedience_n to_o those_o liturgy_n which_o she_o have_v
