spirit_n be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o bring_v four_o of_o our_o heart_n prayer_n to_o god_n which_o be_v than_o in_o truth_n when_o it_o agree_v to_o god_n word_n but_o read_v be_v

find_v so_o m●nie_a heresy_n in_o our_o whole_a write_n that_o can_v find_v two_o or_o three_o in_o my_o first_o reason_n but_o that_o you_o may_v remember_v yourself_o better_a though_o you_o have_v two_o year_n to_o consider_v i_o will_v bring_v the_o word_n before_o you_o again_o if_o peradventure_o you_o may_v have_v grace_n to_o call_v back_o yourself_o i_o say_v if_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n in_o that_o kind_n of_o pray_v be_v of_o faith_n it_o will_v minister_v matter_n without_o a_o book_n this_o sentence_n i_o may_v confirm_v by_o many_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n that_o no_o pervert_v spirit_n can_v gainsay_v or_o resist_v the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o every_o where_o that_o in_o pray_v the_o spirit_n only_o help_v our_o infirmity_n no_o other_o help_v mention_v or_o can_v be_v collect_v in_o the_o present_a action_n of_o prayer_n through_o the_o scripture_n he_o have_v send_v into_o our_o heart_n the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n cry_v 4.13_o abba_n father_n we_o believe_v therefore_o we_o speak_v yet_o here_o be_v not_o any_o show_n of_o perfection_n of_o faith_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_a pray_v for_o our_o want_n but_o this_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o god_n only_o accept_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n and_o require_v no_o more_o of_o any_o but_o that_o every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o faith_n pray_v unto_o he_o as_o occasion_n in_o they_o require_v now_o to_o conclude_v that_o because_o in_o pray_v we_o need_v not_o a_o book_n to_o speak_v for_o we_o when_o the_o heart_n itself_o and_o book_n of_o our_o conscience_n speak_v with_o god_n that_o therefore_o faith_n never_o need_v instruction_n but_o be_v perfect_a be_v sclanderous_a false_a and_o senseless_a the_o cause_n then_o of_o these_o

of_o that_o very_a point_n within_o six_o line_n after_o this_o you_o have_v these_o word_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o beg_n at_o god_n hand_n so_o that_o these_o heresy_n must_v be_v mr._n giffords_n and_o not_o i_o see_v they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v coin_a of_o his_o idle_a brain_n and_o godless_a heart_n only_o to_o defame_v the_o truth_n but_o say_v you_o the_o most_o part_n be_v

but_o a_o help_n to_o stir_v up_o to_o pray_v and_o even_o hereupon_o all_o our_o error_n arise_v that_o you_o can_v discern_v the_o difference_n of_o spiritual_a gift_n with_o the_o distinct_a use_n of_o they_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o before_o prayer_n and_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n we_o have_v need_n of_o help_n of_o instruction_n to_o pray_v aright_o and_o for_o the_o fitness_n of_o

the_o whole_a use_n of_o those_o divers_a action_n through_o the_o whole_a bible_n show_v it_o can_v now_o where_o i_o say_v that_o you_o teach_v man_n instead_o of_o pour_v four_o their_o heart_n to_o help_v themselves_o with_o matter_n and_o word_n out_o of_o a_o book_n you_o say_v i_o speak_v fond_o and_o foolish_o etc._z my_o answer_n now_o be_v it_o be_v well_o i_o lie_v not_o if_z i_o have_v say_v you_o compel_v man_n to_o read_v upon_o a_o book_n in_o all_o your_o public_a assembly_n certain_a word_n of_o your_o own_o write_n by_o number_n and_o stint_v from_o year_n to_o year_n

straight_o you_o sa●_n you_o wish_v all_o man_n to_o use_v the_o help_n of_o the_o book_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_a power_n four_o their_o heart_n unto_o god_n be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o thorough_o able_a first_o you_o grant_v here_o the_o prayer_n read_v upon_o the_o book_n be_v not_o the_o pour_a four_o of_o the_o heart_n but_o aught_o to_o be_v use_v only_o as_o a_o help_n wherbie_fw-mi you_o grant_v the_o whole_a question_n and_o further_a all_o your_o assembly_n have_v have_v no_o other_o invocation_n of_o god_n name_n this_o many_o year_n but_o a_o help_n to_o

of_o prayer_n say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o by_o shift_n &_o cavil_n etc._n etc._n here_o you_o think_v you_o have_v put_v i_o to_o a_o plunge_n yourself_o need_v nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o i_o allow_v the_o commandment_n holy_a and_o good_a and_o to_o extend_v to_o all_o christian_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o apostle_n namely_o to_o use_v that_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n as_o the_o perfect_a pattern_n and_o direction_n to_o all_o man_n true_a prayer_n but_o you_o i_o trust_v will_v make_v difference_n betwixt_o a_o form_n to_o all_o prayer_n and_o pray_v or_o prayer_n

matter_n before_o i_o hear_v it_o in_o your_o first_o entrance_n of_o this_o discourse_n you_o be_v round_o in_o your_o syllogism_n by_o two_o at_o once_o to_o wrest_v my_o word_n and_o can_v find_v none_o for_o yourself_o it_o seem_v your_o conscience_n be_v witness_v the_o matter_n will_v not_o hang_v together_o and_o i_o think_v you_o have_v never_o more_o need_v to_o have_v show_v what_o you_o will_v draw_v from_o this_o place_n luke_n 11._o see_v i_o either_o mistake_v you_o last_o time_n or_o else_o you_o make_v a_o simple_a collection_n which_o be_v this_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o

that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v they_o meditate_v that_o scripture_n but_o this_o i_o perceive_v be_v not_o your_o meaning_n now_o i_o partly_o think_v your_o argument_n shall_v be_v if_o the_o sword_n be_v not_o break_v in_o the_o sheath_n thus_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n when_o they_o pray_v to_o say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o read_v over_o or_o say_v by_o rote_n certain_a word_n be_v law_n full_a pray_v for_o the_o first_o that_z our_o saviour_n christ_n tie_v no_o man_n or_o command_v none_o to_o say_v over_o those_o very_a word_n
