book_n it_o have_v three_o degree_n the_o beginning_n middle_a and_o end_v of_o it_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o there_o be_v read_v of_o psalm_n principal_o to_o raise_v up_o our_o affection_n and_o of_o other_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n to_o confirm_v our_o judgement_n in_o the_o truth_n 17._o and_o to_o help_v we_o to_o search_v whether_o thing_n hear_v be_v so_o or_o no._n there_o be_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o may_v profess_v it_o as_o a_o brief_a rule_n from_o scripture_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o stand_v in_o the_o faith_n whereto_o we_o may_v refer_v the_o truth_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o we_o have_v prayer_n wherein_o we_o be_v not_o long_o at_o once_o or_o with_o a_o breath_n but_o have_v distinct_a and_o divide_a salutation_n praise_n and_o petition_n for_o ourselves_o chief_a member_n and_o the_o church_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o hold_v out_o unto_o the_o end_n without_o distraction_n all_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a none_o if_o they_o understand_v can_v just_o blame_v only_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n worth_a notice_n which_o do_v hardly_o relish_v to_o some_o few_o and_o can_v by_o no_o

it_o that_o they_o may_v have_v comfort_n and_o peace_n with_o we_o therefore_o with_o christ_n help_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v two_o thing_n to_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o name_n and_o how_o they_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o against_o such_o scruple_n as_o may_v arise_v it_o be_v call_v a_o litany_n lit●y_n which_o be_v a_o humble_a prayer_n who_o use_n be_v most_o for_o adversity_n it_o come_v of_o a_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o supplicate_v from_o whence_o come_v suppliant_a prayer_n the_o ancient_a church_n be_v full_a of_o they_o as_o i_o can_v show_v which_o usual_o begin_v with_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o christ_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v empty_a see_v we_o will_v be_v account_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o they_o there_o be_v divers_a exception_n against_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o see_v next_o how_o they_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o against_o they_o there_o be_v no_o church_n that_o i_o know_v but_o must_v have_v a_o favourable_a construction_n of_o some_o thing_n and_o so_o must_v ou●s_v yet_o in_o this_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o all_o excepter_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v the_o exception_n that_o i_o have_v yet_o meet_v with_o be_v against_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o against_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o ob._n against_o the_o manner_n they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v with_o repetition_n of_o the_o people_n and_o interlocutary_a passage_n sol._n as_o for_o that_o i_o find_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n god_n have_v command_v public_a prayer_n that_o be_v that_o presbyter_n and_o people_n shall_v pray_v but_o he_o have_v not_o command_v any_o form_n or_o manner_n to_o carry_v their_o prayer_n in_o but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v do_v to_o edification_n therefore_o he_o have_v leave_v that_o free_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o governor_n and_o this_o we_o have_v often_o experience_n of_o that_o if_o a_o continue_a prayer_n be_v but_o half_a so_o long_o some_o will_v be_v nod_v before_o it_o be_v do_v whereas_o if_o they_o be_v keep_v busy_a by_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n they_o be_v more_o vigilant_a ob._n but_o say_v they_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o lord_n prayer_n all_o in_o one_o length_n and_o set_v amen_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n 11._o this_o be_v true_a yet_o mark_v he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o

the_o rest_n amen_o or_o whether_o all_o shall_v say_v the_o petition_n and_o amen_o too_o in_o this_o he_o have_v leave_v they_o to_o edification_n object_n and_o we_o also_o but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o some_o part_n of_o the_o litany_n be_v so_o say_v that_o the_o reader_n show_v only_o what_o they_o must_v pray_v for_o and_o the_o people_n make_v the_o suit_n as_o when_o they_o say_v from_o
