unexceptionable_a by_o imitate_v that_o method_n which_o god_n and_o inspire_a age_n have_v set_v they_o which_o be_v enjoin_v form_n take_v out_o of_o the_o psalm_n and_o other_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o out_o of_o such_o ancient_a composure_n as_o be_v no_o way_n repugnant_a to_o it_o but_o further_a i_o cite_v six_o learned_a author_n in_o the_o margin_n and_o two_o in_o the_o text_n to_o prove_v the_o jew_n ancient_o have_v a_o liturgy_n mr._n s._n b._n know_v the_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v deny_v wherefore_o he_o politic_o pretend_v it_o will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o

authority_n this_o be_v to_o evade_v not_o to_o answer_v sure_o it_o be_v the_o business_n of_o a_o examiner_n to_o inquire_v and_o to_o say_v he_o can_v do_v that_o which_o he_o do_v not_o when_o there_o be_v a_o just_a occasion_n for_o it_o be_v a_o intimation_n he_o can_v answer_v their_o proof_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v the_o jew_n have_v a_o liturgy_n till_o the_o contrary_n be_v better_a make_v out_o and_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o the_o consequence_n deduce_v from_o that_o truth_n hist_o of_o lit._n pag._n 4._o and_o at_o last_o mr._n s._n b._n suppose_v that_o form_n may_v have_v be_v of_o general_a use_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o then_o the_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o way_n of_o serve_v god_n be_v abrogate_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o i_o give_v divers_a reason_n why_o such_o a_o abrogation_n be_v necessary_a if_o christ_n have_v dislike_v that_o way_n to_o which_o the_o jew_n have_v be_v general_o and_o long_o accustom_v and_o intend_v to_o set_v up_o a_o new_a one_o he_o answer_v that_o he_o see_v no_o necessity_n of_o such_o a_o abrogation_n to_o warrant_v people_n to_o address_v themselves_o to_o god_n in_o another_o way_n for_o he_o suppose_v both_o way_n lawful_a now_o if_o he_o grant_v that_o first_o then_o the_o way_n of_o stint_a form_n be_v not_o unlawful_a nor_o unsuitable_a to_o gospel-worship_n second_o this_o way_n be_v never_o dislike_v by_o christ_n nor_o have_v he_o bring_v any_o proof_n that_o he_o institute_v any_o other_o way_n three_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a the_o jewish_a convert_v will_v keep_v to_o their_o old_a way_n of_o stint_a form_n and_o that_o imply_v they_o to_o be_v very_o ancient_a four_o if_o both_o way_n be_v now_o equal_o lawful_a yet_o the_o church_n have_v choose_v and_o enjoin_v the_o liturgick_a way_n as_o the_o most_o ancient_a universal_a and_o profitable_a way_n and_o reject_v the_o other_o her_o determination_n make_v this_o way_n which_o be_v only_o lawful_a before_o to_o become_v necessary_a to_o we_o till_o that_o determination_n be_v revoke_v pag._n 5._o but_o mr._n s._n b._n foresee_v a_o dreadful_a consequence_n which_o he_o hope_v i_o never_o think_v of_o from_o my_o argue_v that_o the_o jew_n worship_v god_n acceptable_o by_o set_a form_n and_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n join_v in_o that_o way_n and_o never_o reprove_v it_o ergo_fw-la christian_n now_o must_v use_v none_o but_o the_o jewish_a form_n this_o give_v occasion_n to_o his_o pity_n for_o those_o who_o by_o read_v learned_a book_n entertain_v notion_n destructive_a of_o christianity_n i_o wish_v this_o examiner_n have_v read_v more_o or_o write_v less_o for_o then_o the_o world_n have_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o long_a harangue_n upon_o his_o own_o imagination_n he_o can_v deny_v the_o antecedent_n all_o learned_a man_n assert_v it_o but_o this_o consequence_n be_v a_o mormo_n of_o his_o own_o dress_n up_o which_o vanish_v by_o consider_v that_o when_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n join_v in_o the_o jewish_a form_n the_o temple_n and_o synagogue-worship_n be_v the_o lawful_a establish_a way_n of_o serve_v god_n but_o when_o the_o levitical_a part_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v alter_v that_o part_n of_o their_o liturgy_n which_o relate_v to_o it_o become_v unpracticable_a to_o christian_n and_o fall_v of_o itself_o yet_o still_o the_o psalm_n and_o the_o moral_a part_n of_o the_o jewish_a form_n suit_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o our_o lord_n have_v approve_v of_o that_o way_n therefore_o these_o form_n may_v be_v and_o be_v retain_v and_o imitate_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o they_o do_v this_o the_o rather_o to_o win_v the_o jew_n who_o as_o i_o note_v never_o object_v that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n or_o the_o first_o christian_n have_v set_v up_o a_o new_a way_n of_o pray_v and_o praise_v god_n wherefore_o to_o make_v so_o many_o spiteful_a reflection_n upon_o those_o great_a man_n from_o who_o i_o borrow_v the_o antecedent_n for_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o shame_n consequence_n that_o no_o logic_n can_v infer_v from_o the_o premise_n discover_v neither_o a_o christian_a spirit_n nor_o common_a ingenuity_n for_o no_o man_n who_o consider_v will_v think_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n join_v in_o the_o jewish_a worship_n before_o it_o be_v full_o abrogate_a can_v oblige_v we_o to_o copy_n out_o their_o whole_a service_n after_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v dead_a and_o long_o since_o bury_v pag._n 6._o that_o christ_n do_v collect_v his_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o jewish_a form_n and_o order_v his_o disciple_n to_o add_v it_o to_o their_o other_o prayer_n as_o a_o badge_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o he_o be_v too_o so_o true_a and_o so_o well_o prove_v by_o variety_n of_o learned_a man_n that_o mr._n s._n b._n instead_o of_o disprove_v the_o premise_n terrify_v we_o with_o another_o dangerous_a

who_o think_v wicked_o god_n be_v even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o himself_o some_o man_n fancy_n it_o be_v a_o reflection_n on_o their_o gift_n and_o great_a part_n not_o to_o be_v at_o liberty_n to_o show_v they_o in_o extempore_o composure_n and_o will_v needs_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o bless_a jesus_n who_o indeed_o have_v the_o spirit_n without_o measure_n and_o be_v infinite_o able_a to_o make_v what_o new_a prayer_n he_o please_v extempore_o but_o our_o dear_a lord_n design_v not_o on_o all_o occasion_n to_o show_v his_o infinite_a ability_n he_o come_v to_o teach_v we_o humility_n and_o submission_n to_o innocent_a establishment_n and_o so_o may_v judge_v it_o more_o expedient_a for_o his_o disciple_n to_o collect_v a_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o the_o jewish_a liturgy_n indict_v at_o first_o by_o man_n who_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n than_o to_o make_v a_o new_a one_o and_o if_o they_o be_v real_o endue_v with_o his_o spirit_n who_o

and_o leave_v our_o communion_n however_o since_o it_o be_v certain_a our_o lord_n do_v collect_v his_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o jewish_a form_n it_o be_v they_o who_o make_v frivolous_a

compose_v form_n only_o out_o of_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o jew_n if_o he_o mean_v this_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o it_o it_o be_v evident_o false_a for_o christ_n do_v not_o collect_v one_o petition_n from_o thence_o if_o he_o mean_v from_o the_o moral_a part_n of_o it_o i_o see_v no_o harm_n in_o the_o consequence_n at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o primitive_a
