need_v a_o credulous_a reader_n who_o will_v not_o too_o strict_o inquire_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o asseveration_n most_o plain_a it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n make_v this_o prayer_n for_o his_o disciple_n while_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o before_o he_o have_v blot_v out_o the_o handwriting_n of_o ordinance_n or_o have_v send_v the_o spirit_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n let_v it_o therefore_o be_v consider_v whether_o we_o be_v not_o rather_o ordinary_o to_o express_v ourselves_o in_o a_o dialect_n more_o suitable_a to_o the_o new_a

to_o be_v pray_v for_o in_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o we_o make_v and_o let_v man_n have_v a_o care_n how_o they_o adventure_v to_o conclude_v their_o own_o prayer_n thus_o we_o further_o pray_v unto_o thou_o in_o that_o very_a form_n of_o word_n which_o christ_n himself_o have_v teach_v we_o till_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o certain_a what_o form_n of_o word_n christ_n do_v use_v when_o he_o direct_v his_o disciple_n 3_o he_o say_v most_o of_o they_o have_v likewise_o whole_o neglect_v the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o many_o year_n he_o may_v with_o as_o much_o

very_o few_o kneel_v many_o not_o so_o much_o as_o put_v off_o their_o hat_n and_o of_o this_o he_o say_v he_o be_v a_o eye-witness_n i_o demand_v only_o whether_o he_o think_v it_o be_v irreverence_n for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o kneel_v in_o the_o public_a congregation_n in_o time_n of_o prayer_n whether_o stand_v be_v not_o a_o posture_n of_o reverence_n whether_o in_o the_o london_n church_n it_o

that_o irreverence_n if_o he_o can_v answer_v these_o question_n roundly_o and_o ready_o oh_o what_o work_n have_v he_o make_v for_o a_o accuse_a conscience_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v those_o in_o
