theatre_n by_o person_n who_o go_v to_o both_o place_n they_o clap_v and_o lift_v up_o the_o same_o hand_n they_o shout_v and_o say_v amen_o with_o the_o same_o mouth_n to_o very_o different_a object_n and_o on_o occasion_n that_o do_v no_o way_n agree_v in_o the_o theatre_n they_o say_v in_o a_o solemn_a form_n of_o acclamation_n world_n without_o end_n to_o a_o mortal_a yea_o to_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v to_o commodus_n the_o emperor_n for_o xiphiline_n note_n the_o roman_n a_o little_a before_o this_o have_v use_v those_o word_n in_o a_o solemn_a exclamation_n to_o commodus_n epist_n dion_n in_o com._n p._n 383._o but_o in_o the_o church_n these_o very_a word_n be_v in_o a_o form_n of_o praise_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n as_o out_o of_o irenaeus_n and_o clemens_n romanus_n i_o note_v before_o wherefore_o it_o will_v be_v little_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n to_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o a_o christian_a hymn_n proper_a to_o a_o eternal_a be_v unto_o a_o lewd_a mortal_a man._n thus_o tertullian_n argue_v and_o if_o his_o comparison_n be_v true_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o form_n use_v by_o all_o the_o people_n at_o the_o theatre_n so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o some_o form_n which_o the_o people_n repeat_v at_o church_n that_o be_v probable_o in_o the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la because_o it_o still_o stand_v in_o that_o part_n of_o this_o hymn_n which_o the_o people_n say_v but_o it_o serve_v my_o purpose_n as_o well_o since_o it_o must_v be_v a_o form_n say_v by_o the_o people_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o any_o other_o hymn_n but_o he_o wonder_v that_o the_o african_n who_o belong_v to_o the_o latin_a church_n shall_v say_v the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la in_o greek_a whereas_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o tertullian_n that_o they_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a his_o argument_n be_v as_o good_a if_o they_o have_v say_v it_o in_o latin_a only_o the_o roman_n use_v many_o solemn_a form_n in_o greek_a both_o in_o their_o theatre_n and_o their_o temple_n and_o xiphiline_n set_v down_o this_o in_o greek_a so_o that_o probable_o tertullian_n refer_v to_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o historian_n and_o only_o mean_v it_o be_v use_v in_o greek_a in_o the_o theatre_n he_o may_v also_o read_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n romanus_n and_o in_o irenaeus_n and_o so_o cite_v it_o in_o greek_a but_o that_o will_v no_o more_o prove_v the_o african_a service_n be_v in_o greek_a than_o that_o the_o roman_a or_o gallican_n church_n use_v to_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n or_o irenaeus_n time_n only_o from_o this_o and_o many_o other_o greek_a word_n leave_v uninterprete_v in_o tertullian_n and_o other_o african_a father_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o african_a people_n know_v some_o greek_a especial_o short_a and_o common_a form_n and_o phrase_n pag._n 34._o mr._n cl._n have_v produce_v three_o place_n of_o tertullian_n to_o justify_v the_o extempore_o way_n all_o which_o i_o answer_v for_o the_o two_o first_o mr._n s._n b._n refer_v the_o reader_n to_o mr._n cl._n because_o i_o say_v so_o little_o concern_v they_o though_o i_o say_v so_o much_o indeed_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v it_o nor_o clear_a mr._n cl._n who_o be_v evident_o mistake_v in_o refer_v that_o sing_v which_o be_v use_v after_o the_o love-feast_n to_o the_o christian_n public_a devotion_n it_o be_v know_v that_o they_o be_v always_o fast_v till_o after_o their_o morning_n solemn_a service_n of_o which_o this_o sing_v can_v be_v no_o part_n because_o it_o be_v after_o the_o common_a meal_n second_o i_o show_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o tertullian_n which_o hinder_v we_o from_o believe_v that_o the_o hymn_n make_v de_fw-la proprio_fw-la ingenio_fw-la be_v compose_v at_o home_n and_o if_o so_o than_o they_o be_v form_n as_o well_o as_o those_o take_v out_o of_o scripture_n three_o the_o use_n of_o private_a composure_n in_o a_o inspire_a age_n will_v not_o justify_v the_o use_n of_o they_o now_o as_o to_o the_o second_o place_n i_o prove_v express_o out_o of_o tertullian_n and_o s._n cyprian_n that_o the_o christian_n do_v often_o look_v down_o in_o prayer_n and_o so_o show_v mr._n cl._n be_v mistake_v when_o from_o their_o constant_a look_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o prayer_n he_o argue_v they_o use_v no_o book_n to_o pray_v by_o which_o i_o think_v be_v as_o full_a a_o answer_n to_o mr._n cl._n as_o can_v be_v desire_v and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o mr._n s._n b._n do_v examine_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o be_v because_o he_o can_v find_v no_o evasion_n pag._n 35._o but_o mr._n cl_n main_a proof_n for_o extempore_o prayer_n be_v three_o from_o tertullian_n saying_n they_o pray_v the_o pectore_fw-la which_o phrase_n i_o show_v in_o four_o page_n be_v capable_a of_o several_a more_o proper_a interpretation_n mr._n s._n b._n reply_v not_o to_o any_o of_o these_o proof_n but_o divert_v his_o reader_n by_o tell_v he_o what_o he_o conceive_v and_o apprehend_v to_o be_v tertullian_n meaning_n first_o he_o reset_v to_o a_o place_n of_o s._n paul_n 1_o tim._n two_o 8._o where_o though_o the_o apostle_n first_o word_n lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n may_v explain_v manibus_fw-la expansis_fw-la etc._n etc._n yet_o how_o without_o wrath_n and_o doubt_v shall_v expound_v tertullian_n pray_v barehead_n and_o without_o a_o monitor_n i_o can_v imagine_v second_o he_o will_v explain_v this_o place_n by_o another_o in_o the_o same_o author_n a_o few_o line_n after_o which_o speak_v of_o a_o prayer_n proceed_v from_o a_o chaste_a body_n a_o innocent_a sole_a and_o from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o here_o again_o a_o chaste_a body_n and_o a_o innocent_a soul_n do_v not_o explain_v pray_v with_o liftedup_a hand_n and_o a_o barehead_n and_o none_o but_o the_o worst_a of_o enthusiast_n will_v pretend_v that_o a_o prayer_n out_o of_o our_o own_o breast_n be_v the_o same_o with_o one_o proceed_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n beside_o if_o his_o bad_a edition_n do_v not_o mislead_v he_o he_o be_v much_o to_o blame_v in_o read_v and_o point_v this_o place_n majorem_fw-la hostiam_fw-la quam_fw-la ipse_fw-la mandavit_fw-la orationem_fw-la de_fw-la carne_fw-la pudicâ_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o make_v the_o sense_n or_o nonsense_n to_o lie_v that_o the_o good_a christian_n offer_v a_o great_a sacrifice_n than_o god_n have_v command_v but_o the_o true_a

and_o better_a sacrifice_n than_o any_o that_o the_o heathen_a offer_v when_o it_o be_v offer_v up_o with_o a_o chaste_a body_n a_o holy_a soul_n and_o those_o devout_a affection_n which_o be_v

christ_n can_v prove_v that_o pray_v out_o of_o the_o breast_n in_o pray_v for_o the_o emperor_n in_o the_o former_a place_n signify_v pray_v extempore_o as_o he_o and_o mr._n cl._n pretend_v i_o
