or_o thanksgiving_n nor_o any_o use_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v vocal_a and_o external_n do_v we_o not_o read_v of_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o scripture_n and_o also_o of_o sing_v and_o make_v melody_n in_o the_o heart_n unto_o the_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o with_o the_o mouth_n or_o do_v i._n a._n think_v that_o brute_n can_v do_v this_o as_o well_o as_o we_o that_o he_o compare_v our_o eat_v and_o drink_v altogether_o to_o that_o of_o brute_n however_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o that_o be_v sober_a i_o further_o declare_v that_o we_o hold_v it_o our_o duty_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v our_o aim_n and_o endeavour_v in_o all_o our_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o in_o the_o receive_n all_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a to_o reeeive_v they_o with_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n either_o both_o mental_a and_o vocal_a or_o at_o least_o mental_a which_o we_o know_v be_v aceept_v of_o god_n if_o in_o sincerity_n when_o the_o vocal_a be_v not_o use_v and_o they_o who_o pray_v or_o seem_v to_o pray_v with_o their_o lip_n and_o voice_n when_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o away_o as_o it_o be_v too_o much_o the_o general_a manner_n and_o custom_n of_o people_n their_o eat_v and_o drink_v be_v worse_a than_o that_o of_o brute_n which_o sin_v not_o when_o they_o eat_v as_o all_o wicked_a person_n do_v but_o i_o ask_v i._n a._n do_v he_o use_v vocal_a and_o external_n prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n always_o when_o he_o receive_v any_o of_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o use_n of_o tobacco_n or_o taste_v a_o little_a wine_n or_o ale_n occasional_o in_o a_o tavern_n or_o when_o walk_v in_o a_o orchard_n be_v his_o conscience_n so_o scrupulous_a that_o he_o can_v taste_v a_o apple_n but_o he_o must_v use_v vocal_a prayer_n i_o suppose_v he_o be_v not_o so_o scrupulous_a and_o do_v not_o i_o a._n know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o moment_n of_o our_o life_n but_o we_o be_v still_o receive_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n see_v every_o breathe_n or_o receive_v in_o of_o the_o air_n be_v a_o renew_a mercy_n and_o blea_n of_o god_n with_o many_o other_o continual_o add_v unto_o we_o and_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o continual_o require_v vocal_a prayer_n in_o the_o continual_a use_n of_o t●ose_a mercy_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v propose_v a_o few_o plain_a question_n for_o i._o a._n to_o answer_n upon_o this_o whole_a matter_n 1._o whether_o one_o that_o sincere_o use_v prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n in_o his_o ●●art_n before_o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o in_o his_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o at_o a●●_n other_o time_n labour_v to_o have_v his_o heart_n exercise_v in_o the_o ●ear_n of_o god_n although_o at_o time_n he_o use_v not_o vocal_a prayer_n before_o and_o after_o meat_n be_v not_o more_o unlike_a to_o a_o brute_n and_o more_o indeed_o a_o true_a christian_a than_o he_o who_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n or_o pray_v to_o god_n sincere_o in_o his_o heart_n at_o any_o time_n yet_o always_o at_o meal-time_n use_v a_o form_n of_o dead_a and_o lifeless_a word_n before_o and_o after_o meat_n 2._o whether_o to_o pray_v without_o the_o spirit_n and_o without_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n be_v not_o a_o transgress_a of_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o commandment_n 3._o whether_o that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v man_n to_o pray_v spiritless_a and_o hypocritical_a prayer_n do_v not_o oppose_v these_o three_o commandment_n further_n i._n a._n do_v allege_v that_o we_o do_v open_o impugn_v the_o four_o commandment_n in_o one_o of_o the_o follow_a query_n unto_o which_o place_n he_o refer_v the_o controversy_n to_o 〈◊〉_d i_o answer_v and_o so_o he_o may_v all_o the_o rest_n without_o prepossess_v his_o reader_n with_o prejudice_n against_o we_o until_o he_o have_v hear_v the_o whole_a matter_n more_o ample_o discuss_v our_o oppose_v the_o five_o commandment_n he_o instance_v in_fw-la not_o take_v off_o our_o hat_n and_o bow_v the_o body_n in_o salutation_n but_o see_v the_o five_o commandment_n mention_v no_o such_o form_n of_o honour_n nor_o do_v he_o deduce_v it_o by_o any_o just_a consequence_n therefrom_o it_o be_v as_o easy_o deny_v by_o we_o as_o affirm_v by_o he_o nor_o do_v it_o follow_v as_o he_o allege_v that_o because_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v ehe_fw-ge five_o commandment_n with_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o with_o our_o soul_n that_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o take_v off_o our_o hat_n in_o give_v that_o honour_n to_o parent_n for_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o that_o command_n be_v particular_o give_v use_v no_o such_o form_n of_o honour_n or_o respect_n and_o as_o for_o bow_v the_o body_n although_o it_o be_v practise_v under_o the_o law_n yet_o we_o find_v it_o forbid_v under_o the_o gospel_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o cornelius_n bow_v to_o peter_n and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o read_v of_o no_o bow_v that_o be_v lawful_a but_o that_o which_o be_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o of_o god_n almighty_n again_o whereas_o he_o allege_v that_o from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n john_n 5._o 44._o we_o impugn_v the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o five_o commandment_n and_o declare_v that_o no_o manner_n of_o civil_a reverence_n or_o regard_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o man_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v a_o false_a charge_n like_o unto_o the_o rest_n for_o we_o deny_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o civil_a regard_n and_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o all_o man_n in_o their_o respective_a degree_n which_o be_v also_o to_o be_v signify_v and_o practise_v with_o a_o suitable_a outward_a behaviour_n of_o the_o body_n and_o may_v very_o well_o be_v without_o either_o uncover_v the_o head_n or_o bow_v the_o knee_n such_o as_o to_o rise_v up_o before_o the_o hoary-head_n or_o those_o that_o be_v our_o superior_n also_o to_o stand_v before_o they_o to_o speak_v humble_o or_o be_v silent_a unless_o when_o require_v or_o liberty_n be_v give_v also_o to_o havean_v humble_a aspect_n or_o regard_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o face_n towards_o they_o to_o give_v the_o hand_n if_o require_v to_o be_v ready_a at_o a_o beck_n to_o answer_v their_o call_n and_o to_o walk_v and_o run_v to_o serve_v they_o in_o what_o be_v requisite_a these_o and_o many_o such_o instance_n of_o external_n honour_n and_o respect_n may_v child_n lawful_o practise_v to_o their_o parent_n and_o inferior_n to_o their_o superior_n without_o either_o bow_v the_o knee_n or_o take_v off_o the_o hat_n but_o certain_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n joh._n 5._o 44._o condemn_v all_o false_a honour_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n have_v invent_v and_o such_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o hold_v the_o uncover_v of_o the_o head_n to_o man_n until_o i._o a._n can_v produce_v a_o better_a original_a for_o it_o last_o his_o instance_n of_o our_o oppose_v the_o six_o and_o nine_o commandment_n see_v they_o be_v but_o allegation_n i_o pass_v they_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v go_v through_o all_o that_o i_o see_v requisite_a in_o his_o preface_n to_o answer_v which_o may_v occasion_v i_o to_o be_v the_o more_o brief_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o follow_v where_o most_o of_o the_o same_o thing_n do_v again_o occur_v chap._n ii_o and_o here_o i_o give_v the_o reader_n to_o know_v that_o this_o pretend_a examination_n of_o i._o
