itself_o and_o so_o may_v those_o phrase_n also_o viz._n orandi_fw-la disciplina_fw-la &_o ordinata_fw-la religio_fw-la orationis_fw-la yet_o if_o he_o will_v expound_v they_o of_o the_o direction_n about_o prayer_n it_o will_v not_o hurt_v my_o cause_n since_o there_o be_v sufficient_a evidence_n that_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v call_v a_o form_n and_o use_v as_o such_o in_o tertullian_n time_n pag._n 31._o i_o next_o observe_v tertullian_n say_v the_o christian_n set_v upon_o god_n in_o prayer_n with_o a_o grateful_a violence_n quasi_fw-la manu_fw-la factâ_fw-la as_o if_o they_o be_v draw_v up_o to_o battle_n and_o infer_v from_o thence_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o intimate_v their_o use_n of_o form_n mr._n s._n b._n be_v confident_a the_o phrase_n imply_v no_o more_o than_o join_v in_o heart_n with_o he_o that_o officiate_n i_o reply_v manus_fw-la conserere_fw-la in_o ovid_n be_v to_o join_v battle_n wherein_o all_o hand_n be_v employ_v and_o if_o the_o phrase_n be_v apply_v to_o prayer_n it_o note_v every_a one_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o his_o own_o rank_n no_o man_n can_v proper_o say_v the_o two_o army_n of_o israelite_n and_o philistine_n join_v battle_n when_o they_o stand_v look_v on_o their_o champion_n david_n and_o goliath_n though_o they_o join_v in_o heart_n with_o they_o and_o each_o party_n wish_v success_n to_o their_o own_o friend_n and_o when_o tertullian_n describe_v the_o christian_n go_v in_o a_o body_n to_o their_o persecutor_n and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o declare_v he_o will_v die_v for_o his_o religion_n they_o be_v say_v to_o go_v quasi_fw-la manu_fw-la factâ_fw-la ad_fw-la scap._n cap._n ult_n wherefore_o this_o phrase_n import_v vocal_a join_n in_o prayer_n again_o it_o may_v pass_v as_o a_o probable_a proof_n of_o a_o african_a litany_n that_o tertullian_n appeal_v to_o the_o petition_n usual_o make_v for_o the_o emperor_n safety_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o state_n to_o prove_v the_o christian_n loyalty_n for_o various_a and_o arbitrary_a expression_n daily_o differ_v be_v no_o good_a evidence_n and_o though_o tertullian_n write_v to_o infidel_n may_v not_o use_v the_o very_a word_n yet_o he_o come_v so_o near_o the_o petition_n on_o the_o like_a occasion_n find_v in_o ancient_a liturgy_n one_o of_o which_o be_v so_o old_a an._n 360._o viz._n that_o in_o the_o constitution_n as_o to_o challenge_v a_o

who_o learned_a commentary_n of_o the_o roman_n solemn_a form_n declare_v he_o be_v a_o very_a fit_a judge_n of_o the_o import_n of_o this_o word_n mr._n s._n b._n give_v no_o reply_n to_o this_o

i_o shall_v now_o add_v that_o though_o scripture_n be_v read_v psalm_n sing_v sermon_n make_v and_o petition_n delegated_a in_o the_o assembly_n where_o the_o christian_n meet_v yet_o the_o virgin_n speak_v of_o in_o tertullian_n only_o take_v the_o matter_n of_o her_o vision_n from_o thence_o but_o her_o rapture_n be_v after_o these_o be_v do_v inter_fw-la dominica_n solennia_fw-la at_o the_o feast_n of_o our_o lord_n the_o eucharist_n the_o last_o of_o all_o the_o public_a office_n after_o which_o always_o follow_v the_o dismission_n of_o the_o people_n as_o tertullian_n here_o tell_v we_o transacta_fw-la solennia_fw-la dimissâ_fw-la plebe_fw-la so_o that_o mr._n cl._n be_v mistake_v in_o apply_v dominica_n solennia_fw-la to_o the_o read_n sing_v and_o other_o office_n which_o go_v before_o for_o these_o word_n only_o denote_v the_o eucharist_n as_o they_o do_v also_o in_o s._n cyprian_n who_o use_v solennibus_fw-la adimpletis_fw-la for_o the_o solemn_a prayer_n of_o consecration_n and_o i_o must_v note_v further_o that_o tertullian_n often_o use_v solennia_fw-la for_o festival_n of_o all_o sort_n pagan_a apol._n c._n 35._o ad_fw-la ux_fw-la l._n 2._o c._n 6._o

but_o the_o reason_n why_o solennia_fw-la be_v use_v for_o festival_n seem_v to_o be_v because_o the_o time_n and_o solemn_a rite_n of_o they_o be_v all_o prescribe_v and_o from_o thence_o solemn_a prayer_n or_o verse_n come_v to_o signify_v state_v fix_v and_o prescribe_v form_n according_a to_o brissonius_n wherefore_o solennia_fw-la both_o in_o tertullian_n and_o s._n cyprian_n do_v import_v the_o use_n of_o solemn_a and_o prescribe_a word_n in_o the_o solemn_a feast_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o tertullian_n they_o use_v the_o form_n prescribe_v by_o

in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cite_v the_o gospel_n and_o say_v this_o form_n be_v prescribe_v there_o yet_o his_o exposition_n be_v not_o more_o false_a
