they_o be_v angry_a at_o this_o and_o will_v have_v a_o king_n to_o be_v like_o the_o heathen_a they_o anger_v god_n not_o but_o that_o they_o choose_v the_o best_a kind_n of_o government_n but_o

how_o ungrateful_a either_o democracy_n or_o aristocracy_n have_v be_v to_o their_o great_a patriot_n and_o the_o defender_n of_o their_o country_n the_o history_n of_o miltiades_n and_o aristides_n

can_v have_v walk_v to_o christ_n on_o his_o own_o foot_n what_o can_v he_o have_v more_o desire_v than_o to_o be_v heal_v so_o if_o we_o come_v with_o our_o own_o invention_n or_o expression_n in_o prayer_n we_o can_v expect_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o be_v hear_v which_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n will_v as_o soon_o do_v when_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o with_o word_n of_o the_o church_n compose_v as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o our_o own_o frame_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o want_v yea_o but_o methinks_v i_o hear_v some_o say_v the_o heart_n must_v needs_o be_v want_v for_o pray_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o read_v be_v another_o i_o grant_v they_o be_v two_o several_a thing_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v compatible_a and_o may_v well_o stand_v together_o when_o we_o read_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o st._n matthew_n and_o our_o intention_n be_v only_o to_o inform_v ourselves_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n we_o acknowledge_v we_o do_v not_o pray_v but_o when_o we_o read_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o liturgy_n and_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n in_o every_o of_o the_o petition_n than_o we_o affirm_v that_o we_o do_v pray_v so_o then_o when_o we_o read_v and_o our_o intention_n be_v only_o to_o receive_v knowledge_n into_o the_o soul_n we_o do_v not_o pray_v in_o read_v but_o when_o in_o read_v we_o also_o pour_v out_o the_o request_n of_o our_o heart_n than_o such_o read_v may_v true_o be_v call_v pray_v second_o it_o be_v object_v read_v set_v prayer_n out_o of_o a_o book_n be_v a_o stint_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o stint_v or_o quench_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o read_v prayer_n out_o of_o a_o book_n i_o answer_v 1._o if_o he_o that_o pray_v a_o set_a form_n stint_v the_o spirit_n than_o he_o that_o pray_v a_o extempore_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n stint_v the_o spirit_n of_o all_o those_o that_o join_v with_o he_o for_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o join_v with_o he_o be_v limit_v by_o his_o word_n and_o his_o sense_n and_o so_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o a_o set_a form_n to_o they_o for_o if_o their_o mind_n go_v along_o with_o he_o they_o pray_v the_o same_o prayer_n that_o he_o do_v and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o now_o why_o shall_v the_o people_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o not_o the_o minister_n to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n if_o it_o be_v sinful_a in_o one_o to_o stint_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v sinful_a also_o in_o the_o other_o and_o so_o no_o public_a prayer_n where_o many_o join_v together_o can_v be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n without_o sin_n in_o this_o respect_n because_o the_o spirit_n must_v be_v bind_v up_o and_o stint_v in_o all_o but_o in_o he_o that_o speak_v it_o but_o if_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v that_o extempore_o prayer_n stint_v not_o the_o spirit_n because_o then_o a_o man_n speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v utterance_n which_o can_v be_v in_o set_a form_n than_o this_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v if_o to_o those_o man_n which_o pray_v extempore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v dictate_v those_o word_n unto_o they_o than_o those_o prayer_n will_v be_v as_o good_a canonical_a scripture_n if_o write_v by_o the_o pen_n of_o a_o ready_a writer_n as_o any_o of_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n or_o asaph_n or_o any_o of_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o old_a record_v in_o scripture_n which_o because_o it_o will_v be_v blasphemy_n to_o affirm_v it_o roundly_o follow_v such_o prayer_n be_v not_o speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v utterance_n but_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o own_o art_n and_o industry_n and_o therefore_o the_o turn_n of_o that_o practice_n into_o a_o set_a form_n do_v not_o stint_v nor_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n that_o those_o sudden_a conception_n be_v not_o dictate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n appear_v plain_o by_o this_o man_n of_o
