with_o they_o in_o prayer_n not_o only_o in_o that_o form_n there_o prescribe_v but_o also_o to_o that_o effect_n as_o brief_o as_o convenient_o they_o may_v and_o if_o the_o church_n command_v we_o to_o do_v so_o in_o public_a much_o more_o do_v it_o allow_v we_o to_o do_v so_o in_o private_a and_o therefore_o even_o according_a to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n itself_o a_o prayer_n of_o one_o

request_n to_o all_o dissenter_n see_v the_o most_o learned_a and_o the_o most_o pious_a author_n of_o your_o persuasion_n have_v print_v and_o thereby_o have_v allow_v the_o use_n of_o set-form_n of_o prayer_n for_o family-duty_n and_o see_v that_o all_o among_o you_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la prayer_n therefore_o be_v please_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n by_o a_o

or_o to_o make_v use_n of_o your_o own_o comparison_n take_v crutch_n when_o you_o can_v go_v without_o they_o take_v the_o help_n of_o other_o when_o you_o can_v help_v yourselves_o and_o that_o this_o be_v no_o unreasonable_a request_n be_v plain_a from_o this_o follow_a instance_n a_o ingenious_a and_o a_o pious_a merchant_n of_o this_o city_n my_o good_a friend_n lodge_v in_o his_o youth_n in_o a_o considerable_a dissenter_n house_n and_o after_o some_o observation_n he_o perceive_v that_o he_o and_o his_o family_n never_o go_v to_o prayer_n upon_o which_o he_o very_o fair_o take_v his_o landlord_n aside_o and_o ask_v he_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o have_v no_o family-duty_n in_o his_o house_n and_o his_o landlord_n give_v he_o this_o ingenuous_a answer_n jow_v myself_o guilty_a of_o sin_n in_o do_v as_o i_o do_v and_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o i_o can_v possible_o avoid_v it_o for_o i_o can_v pray_v exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la and_o i_o reckon_v it_o unlawful_a to_o pray_v

to_o use_v the_o common-prayer-book_n in_o your_o family_n yea_o see_v it_o do_v rather_o oblige_v you_o to_o use_v some_o other_o prayer_n unless_o you_o have_v a_o priest_n to_o officiate_v yea_o far_o see_v its_o canon_n do_v leave_v you_o at_o liberty_n to_o use_v a_o set-form_n or_o else_o to_o make_v a_o prayer_n of_o your_o own_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n as_o convenient_o as_o you_o may_v yea_o and_o further_o yet_o see_v it_o give_v you_o this_o liberty_n even_o in_o public_a before_o your_o sermon_n then_o do_v not_o you_o be_v as_o superstitious_o for_o as_o some_o few_o other_o be_v superstitious_o against_o set-form_n let_v not_o those_o that_o pray_v exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la despise_v they_o that_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n and_o let_v not_o those_o that_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n judge_v they_o that_o pray_v exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la for_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o doubt_n but_o they_o both_o do_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o doubt_n neither_o but_o the_o lord_n have_v receive_v they_o both_o the_o only_a misery_n on_o it_o be_v this_o we_o both_o agree_v very_o well_o when_o we_o understand_v one_o another_o meaning_n but_o we_o scarce_o ever_o vouchsafe_v to_o give_v one_o another_o a_o meeting_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v one_o another_o let_v then_o the_o dissenter_n be_v but_o please_v to_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n in_o our_o family_n and_o we_o will_v come_v and_o pray_v exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la in_o they_o or_o if_o they_o can_v condescend_v to_o this_o let_v they_o but_o be_v of_o the_o same_o heart_n though_o they_o can_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o we_o let_v we_o love_v one_o another_o and_o free_o converse_v together_o without_o any_o jealousy_n or_o suspicion_n and_o then_o though_o we_o shall_v chance_v to_o be_v like_o christ_n coat_n of_o divers_a colour_n and_o various_a judgement_n yet_o we_o may_v be_v like_o it_o also_o seamless_a and_o all_o of_o a_o piece_n knit_v together_o in_o one_o common_a bond_n of_o charity_n we_o may_v hold_v the_o faith_n in_o unity_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o land_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o righteousness_n of_o life_n and_o that_o this_o be_v no_o unreasonable_a request_n neither_o be_v plain_a from_o this_o follow_a instance_n about_o three_o or_o four_o year_n ago_o i_o be_v acquaint_v with_o a_o learned_a a_o sober_a and_o a_o wealthy_a country-gentleman_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o upon_o some_o assurance_n that_o he_o give_v i_o of_o his_o friendship_n both_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n and_o by_o letter_n i_o take_v he_o to_o be_v my_o friend_n and_o one_o night_n be_v in_o his_o house_n and_o be_v desire_v to_o read_v prayer_n i_o ready_o comply_v with_o so_o good_a a_o motion_n but_o find_v the_o second_o lesson_n to_o be_v a_o difficult_a chapter_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n which_o i_o myself_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v i_o exchange_v it_o for_o another_o against_o the_o vanity_n of_o apparel_n as_o i_o think_v of_o more_o edification_n to_o some_o person_n who_o be_v there_o present_a but_o the_o gentleman_n belike_o take_v it_o ill_o that_o i_o shall_v offer_v to_o change_v the_o chapter_n and_o ask_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o dare_v do_v so_o to_o which_o i_o give_v these_o answer_n first_o i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v that_o chapter_n myself_o and_o it_o be_v not_o very_o likely_a that_o his_o family_n can_v understand_v it_o better_o second_o if_o i_o have_v understand_v it_o better_o i_o will_v not_o have_v read_v it_o notwithstanding_o because_o another_o be_v more_o useful_a for_o some_o person_n there_o present_a who_o be_v in_o my_o judgement_n but_o too_o vain_a and_o light_a in_o their_o apparel_n add_v that_o wherever_o i_o
