expression_n by_o no_o mean_n agree_v to_o st._n paul_n who_o be_v convert_v before_o this_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o regenerate_v man_n who_o be_v say_v in_o other_o

his_o belove_a son_n jesus_n christ_n for_o such_o lawful_a thing_n as_o be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o when_o man_n pray_v thus_o according_a to_o that_o excellent_a form_n which_o christ_n

come_v off_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o perform_v this_o duty_n as_o these_o in_o our_o day_n think_v they_o can_v but_o be_v not_o this_o another_o good_a argument_n for_o form_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o desire_v christ_n to_o teach_v they_o such_o a_o form_n as_o john_n have_v teach_v his_o disciple_n luke_n 11.1_o lord_n

at_o prayer_n as_o j._n bunyan_n represent_v they_o viz._n that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o prayer_n they_o have_v begin_v in_o the_o congregation_n but_o be_v force_v to_o break_v off_o abrupt_o perhaps_o in_o the_o midst_n thereof_o which_o must_v needs_o cause_v shame_n to_o themselves_o and_o disappointment_n and_o confusion_n to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n which_o all_o their_o sigh_n and_o groan_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o compensate_a but_o no_o man_n of_o sense_n can_v believe_v the_o apostle_n ever_o pray_v at_o this_o rate_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n where_o they_o command_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n and_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o people_n 1_o cor._n 14.26.40_o for_o what_o order_n decency_n or_o edify_v be_v there_o in_o sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o hypocrite_n may_v utter_v as_o well_o as_o sincere_a christian_n and_o when_o either_o do_v it_o who_o can_v tell_v the_o

signification_n as_o word_n and_o speech_n have_v and_o yet_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v jo._n bunyan_n these_o be_v a_o good_a part_n of_o the_o apostle_n prayer_n even_o in_o their_o public_a assembly_n but_o the_o proof_n which_o he_o bring_v for_o it_o be_v simple_z and_o ridiculous_a viz._n for_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o with_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v utter_v whereas_o these_o be_v not_o the_o groan_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o of_o any_o man_n else_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o groan_n of_o the_o holy-ghost_n himself_o in_o heaven_n where_o together_o with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o at_o the_o right-hand_a of_o god_n and_o that_o in_o a_o very_a fervent_a and_o powerful_a manner_n which_o st._n paul_n call_v his_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v utter_v and_o therefore_o can_v never_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o groan_n of_o man_n which_o be_v always_o hear_v and_o make_v a_o sound_n in_o their_o very_a utterance_n so_o foolish_a and_o presumptuous_a be_v this_o man_n in_o expound_v and_o apply_v this_o text_n especial_o in_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v from_o it_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v invent_v and_o dictate_v to_o we_o the_o very_a word_n of_o prayer_n for_o here_o be_v no_o word_n at_o all_o proceed_n from_o the_o spirit_n but_o only_a groan_n how_o then_o can_v this_o place_n prove_v that_o the_o spirit_n suggest_v to_o we_o the_o word_n of_o our_o prayer_n when_o he_o intercee_v for_o we_o without_o word_n even_o with_o groan_n but_o pray_v mistake_v

that_o can_v be_v utter_v and_o that_o these_o be_v the_o inexpressible_a desire_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n be_v plain_a from_o rom._n 8.27_o he_o that_o search_v

the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o that_o this_o text_n also_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n turn_v upon_o the_o objector_n and_o prove_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o put_v word_n into_o their_o mouth_n nor_o cause_v those_o groan_n which_o be_v so_o loud_a and_o frequent_a in_o their_o meeting_n the_o spirit_n groan_n here_o be_v say_v to_o be_v without_o noise_n or_o sound_n without_o utterance_n or_o
