it_o be_v not_o necessary_a i_o answer_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v in_o no_o way_n necessary_a to_o pronounce_v this_o prayer_n be_v it_o necessary_a to_o omit_v it_o if_o it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o

universal_a church_n and_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o what_o supplement_n must_v we_o then_o make_v to_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v defective_a certain_o we_o

a_o full_a enumeration_n of_o all_o other_o must_v we_o not_o say_v in_o general_a forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n i_o retort_v then_o the_o argument_n since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o frame_v any_o prayer_n which_o particularize_v all_o thing_n we_o ought_v necessary_o to_o use_v a_o prayer_n which_o in_o its_o generality_n contain_v all_o particular_n objection_n vii_o but_o say_v they_o we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o pronounce_v it_o answer_n 1._o this_o reason_n be_v not_o conclude_v a_o negative_a argument_n concerning_o a_o fact_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o draw_v out_o of_o scripture_n we_o read_v not_o in_o the_o history_n that_o the_o jew_n ever_o celebrate_v the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n one_o of_o the_o great_a

we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n name_v in_o their_o commission_n shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o they_o do_v not_o baptise_v in_o this_o form_n 2._o i_o say_v rather_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v dictate_v to_o they_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o they_o use_v it_o be_v it_o credible_a that_o have_v desire_v to_o have_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v unto_o they_o this_o word_n by_o word_n that_o they_o never_o pronounce_v it_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v endow_v with_o a_o spirit_n which_o guide_v they_o in_o their_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o their_o doctrine_n but_o have_v we_o the_o same_o infallible_a spirit_n which_o dictate_v to_o they_o such_o prayer_n be_v we_o certain_a that_o we_o fail_v nomore_o then_o they_o neither_o in_o the_o matter_n nor_o in_o the_o form_n objection_n viii_o after_o this_o they_o ask_v we_o a_o question_n this_o prayer_n say_v they_o be_v find_v write_v in_o two_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o wit_v s._n matt._n 6._o s._n luke_n 11._o but_o with_o diversity_n of_o term_n and_o which_o be_v more_o the_o one_o of_o these_o evangelist_n omit_v that_o which_o the_o other_o have_v write_v how_o then_o ought_v we_o to_o pronounce_v it_o either_o by_o that_o which_o be_v

shall_v be_v observe_v answer_n 1._o if_o this_o argument_n may_v take_v place_n when_o we_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v never_o pronounce_v the_o word_n which_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v in_o that_o action_n for_o they_o be_v relate_v diverse_o in_o four_o divers_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n which_o register_v they_o have_v not_o these_o word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o must_v we_o then_o in_o this_o action_n whole_o omit_v the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o colour_n of_o the_o diversity_n which_o we_o find_v there_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o so_o understand_v it_o when_o he_o show_v the_o corinthian_n the_o form_n wherein_o they_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n he_o rehearse_v express_o the_o very_a word_n that_o jesus_n christ_n utter_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n according_a as_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o of_o he_o 1_o cor._n 11._o 2._o this_o be_v a_o wrong_a conclusion_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o difference_n which_o we_o find_v there_o on_o the_o contrary_a whereas_o god_n repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o divers_a word_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v they_o for_o this_o difference_n tend_v to_o the_o clear_n of_o one_o word_n by_o another_o so_o when_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n say_v remit_v we_o our_o debt_n the_o other_o expound_v it_o by_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o take_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o expression_n both_o these_o two_o be_v dictate_v by_o jesus_n christ_n must_v we_o make_v the_o difficulty_n so_o great_a in_o choose_v or_o must_v we_o suppress_v both_o these_o two_o because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v both_o these_o two_o 3._o to_o this_o that_o they_o allege_v that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n have_v not_o this_o clause_n for_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v this_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n because_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n to_o wit_n s._n john_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o if_o they_o find_v not_o this_o clause_n in_o s._n luke_n must_v they_o necessary_o pass_v it_o over_o with_o silence_n although_o it_o be_v
