be_v condemn_v by_o it_o utter_o but_o consider_v it_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o then_o it_o have_v another_o aspect_n for_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o perfect_a and_o absolute_a form_n of_o prayer_n give_v i_o doubt_v not_o to_o say_v to_o be_v like_o the_o shekel_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n a_o standard_n to_o they_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v prefaced_a with_o the_o word_n i_o have_v read_v they_o be_v i_o conceive_v to_o be_v look_v on_o as_o a_o canon_n to_o warrant_v both_o the_o use_v of_o it_o and_o also_o the_o make_v it_o a_o pattern_n for_o the_o church_n to_o compose_v her_o prayer_n by_o for_o it_o be_v for_o such_o end_n as_o these_o we_o be_v to_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n direct_v his_o apostle_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o pray_v say_v unto_o they_o after_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o in_o which_o word_n there_o be_v a_o act_n and_o it_o be_v modus_fw-la or_o a_o injunction_n and_o its_o

ought_v to_o be_v a_o solemn_a public_a manner_n of_o worship_n always_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n 2._o whether_o that_o be_v grant_v we_o in_o our_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o pray_v after_o the_o manner_n prescribe_v by_o he_o of_o both_o which_o while_o i_o speak_v affirmative_o of_o the_o first_o as_o brief_o as_o i_o may_v of_o the_o second_o more_o ample_o i_o crave_v the_o patience_n of_o this_o reverend_a and_o learned_a auditory_a and_o for_o my_o defect_n pardon_v the_o first_o be_v whether_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o solemn_a and_o public_a worship_n always_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o and_o that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v i_o collect_v from_o the_o injunction_n here_o in_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d pray_v you_o in_o regard_v it_o be_v speak_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o to_o many_o and_o for_o that_o the_o prayer_n itself_o be_v in_o the_o plural_a too_o our_o father_n and_o then_o because_o it_o end_v with_o amen_o which_o be_v a_o note_n of_o public_a use_n but_o chief_o in_o regard_n these_o word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o divine_a law_n as_o i_o instanced_a before_o whereby_o he_o must_v be_v think_v to_o establish_v god_n worship_n if_o at_o all_o or_o any_o where_n for_o we_o may_v not_o imagine_v that_o the_o word_n of_o this_o great_a lawgiver_n import_v so_o little_a as_o that_o this_o prayer_n of_o he_o shall_v serve_v only_o for_o the_o present_a use_n of_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o temporary_a thing_n nor_o can_v we_o conceive_v he_o mean_v that_o the_o christian_a church_n shall_v have_v a_o less_o solemn_a service_n than_o the_o jewish_a have_v if_o so_o why_o be_v this_o a_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n of_o he_o in_o the_o mount_n where_o he_o be_v give_v his_o law_n why_o do_v he_o deliver_v it_o with_o so_o much_o solemnity_n as_o he_o do_v with_o so_o much_o majesty_n and_o authority_n and_o why_o do_v he_o bring_v it_o in_o with_o other_o substantial_a part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n of_o which_o he_o profess_v he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o least_o iôta_n sure_o a_o solemn_a service_n

and_o that_o perpetual_a a_o know_v solemn_a public_a and_o perpetual_a service_n which_o all_o christian_a people_n shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o even_o as_o god_n people_n the_o jew_n have_v ancient_o at_o the_o temple_n and_o their_o lesser_a synagogue_n then_o it_o be_v so_o in_o those_o day_n when_o the_o prophet_n haggai_n glory_n appear_v in_o the_o second_o house_n and_o be_v it_o not_o most_o rational_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o in_o we_o yea_o be_v it_o not_o inferrible_a from_o this_o rule_n and_o precept_n manifest_o let_v who_o will_v imagine_v otherwise_o it_o be_v what_o i_o may_v and_o therefore_o shall_v express_v definitive_o that_o so_o long_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o church_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n this_o will_v authorise_v she_o to_o

in_o which_o to_o serve_v god_n so_o have_v we_o we_o now_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o they_o then_o the_o sabbath_n and_o why_o a_o day_n but_o for_o holy_a service_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o it_o

of_o it_o the_o know_v or_o wont_a hymn_n or_o haleluia_o say_v the_o critic_n that_o be_v use_v at_o the_o feast_n beginning_n psalm_n the_o 113_o and_o end_v psalm_n the_o 118_o and_o that_o prayer_n be_v ever_o a_o solemn_a concomitant_a of_o this_o grand_a duty_n be_v evident_a act._n 2._o 42._o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o those_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o apostle_n preach_v that_o
