By Henry Leslie (maugre all antichristian opposition) Bishop of Down and Conner.

agree_v by_o all_o christian_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v public_a prayer_n in_o the_o church_n and_o by_o all_o protestant_n that_o these_o prayer_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o know_a vulgar_a tongue_n the_o question_n that_o now_o trouble_v we_o be_v whether_o these_o prayer_n shall_v be_v extemporary_a or_o premeditate_v and_o if_o premeditate_a whether_o the_o private_a meditation_n of_o the_o minister_n alone_o or_o a_o common_a know_a form_n wherein_o all_o may_v join_v and_o if_o we_o will_v admit_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v umpire_n he_o will_v afford_v we_o a_o clear_a determination_n of_o that_o controversy_n out_o of_o this_o text_n for_o certain_o that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v both_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o the_o understanding_n but_o so_o be_v not_o extemporary_a prayer_n it_o be_v neither_o with_o the_o spirit_n nor_o yet_o with_o understanding_n not_o with_o the_o spirit_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o we_o can_v now_o pray_v by_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n but_o by_o the_o direction_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n direct_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o word_n and_o assist_v we_o inward_o with_o his_o motion_n but_o they_o who_o pray_v without_o advice_n and_o consideration_n can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n nor_o yet_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n for_o to_o follow_v that_o will_v require_v some_o study_n and_o deliberation_n no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o thing_n after_o a_o pattern_n or_o make_v one_o thing_n like_a unto_o another_o but_o it_o will_v require_v some_o study_n and_o advise_v to_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o to_o fit_v the_o copy_n to_o the_o sampler_n so_o we_o can_v make_v a_o complete_a prayer_n consist_v of_o confession_n petition_n for_o thing_n necessary_a intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o and_o square_v all_o these_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n but_o we_o must_v take_v some_o time_n to_o study_v and_o advise_v with_o the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o every_o confession_n that_o will_v please_v god_n nor_o every_o petition_n that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o we_o may_v err_v in_o our_o prayer_n and_o err_v so_o dangerous_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v turn_v into_o sin_n as_o david_n say_v st._n james_n tell_v we_o of_o many_o that_o ask_v amiss_o 3._o psal_n 109._o james_n 4_o 3._o rhe_n disciple_n themselves_o do_v it_o when_o they_o desire_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v the_o samaritan_n which_o be_v not_o good_a the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n desire_v to_o fit_v one_o on_o christ_n right_a hand_n the_o other_o on_o his_o left_a and_o though_o that_o be_v good_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n fit_a for_o god_n to_o grant_v if_o they_o be_v not_o privilege_v from_o error_n far_o less_o be_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o advise_v well_o our_o prayer_n take_v god_n word_n for_o our_o guide_n we_o shall_v think_v before_o we_o speak_v and_o even_o after_o that_o we_o have_v think_v we_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o lay_v our_o thought_n upon_o god_n altar_n till_o first_o we_o have_v weigh_v they_o in_o the_o ballane_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n as_o they_o who_o pray_v without_o study_n and_o deliberation_n can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n so_o neither_o can_v they_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o god_n spirit_n work_v by_o mean_n and_o then_o most_o assist_v we_o when_o we_o most_o endeavour_n i_o show_v unto_o you_o before_o that_o the_o spirit_n in_o
