principle_n of_o church-division_n and_o censorious_a unwarrantable_a separation_n i_o know_v there_o be_v in_o holiness_n a_o contrariety_n to_o sin_n and_o heaven_n and_o hell_n must_v final_o

of_o such_o as_o far_o as_o their_o safety_n do_v require_v and_o by_o this_o inclination_n and_o their_o ignorance_n they_o be_v frequent_o tempt_v to_o go_v further_o from_o they_o in_o church_n

another_o party_n suppose_v the_o form_n in_o the_o church_n lyturgy_n to_o be_v worse_o than_o they_o be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o they_o or_o to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n when_o they_o be_v use_v when_o as_o god_n have_v neither_o tie_v we_o to_o set_v form_n nor_o from_o they_o save_v only_o as_o unsuitableness_n to_o any_o particular_a person_n may_v make_v one_o less_o edify_v than_o the_o other_o and_o both_o free_a prayer_n and_o set_v form_n study_a prayer_n and_o sudden_a prayer_n be_v all_o the_o work_n of_o man_n as_o to_o man_n part_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v imperfect_a and_o faulty_a as_o man_n be_v and_o yet_o in_o both_o we_o may_v pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n even_o with_o the_o holy_a and_o fervent_a desire_n which_o the_o spirit_n excit_v in_o we_o and_o the_o spirit_n may_v ordinary_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o supplication_n in_o we_o and_o help_v our_o infirmity_n in_o the_o one_o way_n and_o in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o though_o i_o will_v not_o equal_v they_o for_o i_o prefer_v some_o man_n free_a pray_n before_o any_o form_n and_o i_o prefer_v the_o common_a prayer_n before_o some_o man_n free_a prayer_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v that_o i_o will_v neither_o assent_v and_o consent_v to_o every_o word_n in_o the_o one_o nor_o in_o the_o other_o no_o not_o of_o any_o man_n that_o ever_o i_o

i_o have_v full_o my_o own_o choice_n and_o liberty_n i_o will_v use_v free_a prayer_n one_o part_n of_o the_o day_n or_o one_o day_n and_o a_o well_o compose_v form_n another_o part_n because_o i_o see_v commodity_n by_o both_o and_o such_o inconvenience_n of_o either_o way_n alone_o as_o be_v if_o possible_a to_o be_v avoid_v but_o when_o the_o mind_n have_v receive_v a_o prejudice_n against_o
