religion_n or_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n i_o beseech_v you_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o he_o that_o make_v you_o that_o whensoever_o you_o come_v hither_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o you_o do_v it_o in_o that_o awful_a lowly_a and_o solemn_a manner_n which_o our_o church_n command_v and_o as_o become_v creature_n when_o you_o speak_v to_o your_o great_a and_o almighty_a creator_n that_o so_o you_o may_v give_v true_a worship_n and_o honour_n unto_o he_o and_o also_o receive_v that_o benefit_n and_o edification_n to_o yourselves_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o you_o expect_v from_o your_o public_a prayer_n this_o be_v certain_o the_o most_o edify_a posture_n that_o you_o can_v possible_o use_v upon_o such_o occasion_n from_o what_o we_o have_v hitherto_o discourse_v concern_v the_o language_n the_o matter_n the_o method_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o perform_v divine_a service_n as_o contain_v and_o prescribe_v in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n we_o may_v positive_o conclude_v that_o it_o agree_v exact_o with_o the_o rule_n in_o my_o text_n even_o that_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o be_v do_v to_o edify_v which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o undertake_v to_o prove_v i_o know_v that_o many_o other_o argument_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o show_v the_o excellency_n and_o usefulness_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n but_o these_o already_o produce_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o sober_a and_o consider_v christian_n of_o it_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o here_o present_a who_o be_v not_o yet_o convince_v by_o what_o they_o have_v hear_v of_o it_o i_o desire_v only_o one_o thing_n of_o they_o and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o will_v but_o make_v trial_n of_o it_o for_o a_o while_n for_o my_o charity_n prompt_v i_o to_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o zeal_n that_o some_o express_v against_o the_o common_a prayer_n and_o all_o that_o indifferency_n that_o be_v in_o other_o for_o it_o proceed_v only_o from_o their_o ignorance_n of_o what_o it_o be_v or_o at_o least_o from_o their_o want_n of_o a_o experimental_a knowledge_n of_o it_o for_o let_v any_o man_n that_o serious_o mind_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n before_o all_o thing_n else_o let_v such_o a_o one_o i_o say_v set_v himself_o in_o good_a earnest_n to_o use_v the_o common_a prayer_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o some_o considerable_a time_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n he_o will_v find_v that_o benefit_n and_o edification_n by_o it_o that_o his_o own_o experience_n shall_v convince_v he_o of_o all_o that_o i_o have_v now_o say_v more_o than_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o i_o have_v or_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v ever_o produce_v to_o he_o some_o perhaps_o may_v think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o paradox_n but_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o that_o many_o here_o present_a can_v attest_v it_o upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n have_v find_v themselves_o more_o confirm_v in_o their_o faith_n more_o settle_v in_o their_o religion_n more_o humble_v for_o their_o sin_n more_o support_v under_o their_o trouble_n more_o inflame_v with_o love_n to_o god_n and_o desire_n of_o heaven_n every_o way_n more_o edifyed_a by_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n than_o they_o can_v ever_o have_v believe_v it_o possible_a to_o have_v be_v except_o they_o have_v find_v it_o to_o have_v be_v so_o by_o their_o own_o experience_n now_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o brief_o consider_v i_o shall_v observe_v only_o two_o thing_n from_o they_o the_o first_o be_v the_o extraordinary_a prudence_n as_o well_o as_o piety_n of_o our_o first_o reformer_n who_o first_o compile_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n so_o exact_o conformable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o apostolical_a canon_n in_o my_o text_n which_o i_o can_v but_o ascribe_v to_o the_o same_o extraordinary_a aid_n and_o assistance_n from_o god_n whereby_o they_o be_v afterward_o enable_v to_o suffer_v persecution_n yea_o martyrdom_n itself_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o so_o to_o confirm_v what_o they_o have_v do_v with_o their_o own_o blood_n which_o certain_o be_v no_o small_a commendation_n of_o it_o the_o other_o thing_n i_o will_v observe_v unto_o you_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o devil_n have_v have_v such_o a_o spite_n against_o the_o common_a prayer_n ever_o since_o it_o be_v first_o make_v for_o the_o more_o edify_v it_o be_v to_o god_n people_n the_o more_o destructive_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o he_o have_v all_o along_o employ_v the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n and_o policy_n to_o blast_v its_o reputation_n and_o so_o to_o discourage_v and_o dissuade_v man_n from_o the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o by_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o this_o ungrateful_a nation_n he_o have_v so_o far_o prevail_v in_o his_o design_n that_o the_o liturgy_n have_v be_v twice_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n since_o it_o be_v first_o bring_v into_o it_o once_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n mary_n and_o then_o again_o in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n mary_n you_o all_o know_v who_o be_v his_o instrument_n in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o even_o the_o papist_n for_o they_o clear_o and_o true_o foresee_v that_o their_o erroneous_a opinion_n can_v never_o be_v believe_v nor_o their_o superstitious_a practice_n observe_v in_o the_o nation_n so_o long_o as_o the_o common_a prayer_n be_v use_v forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o that_o but_o what_o be_v sound_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o groundless_a opinion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v obtrude_v upon_o the_o world_n for_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v many_o expression_n purposely_o insert_v in_o it_o to_o arm_v we_o against_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n indulgence_n invocation_n of_o sain●s_n transubstantiation_n and_o other_o popish_a error_n so_o that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v impossible_a for_o the_o romish_a religion_n to_o be_v ever_o restore_v in_o the_o nation_n unless_o the_o common_a prayer_n be_v first_o remove_v which_o therefore_o they_o take_v care_n to_o have_v do_v as_o soon_o as_o possible_a but_o within_o a_o few_o year_n after_o even_o the_o first_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n it_o be_v bring_v in_o again_o and_o as_o the_o reformation_n be_v begin_v before_o so_o from_o that_o time_n forward_o it_o be_v carry_v on_o and_o perfect_v chief_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n for_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o six_o and_o for_o several_a year_n too_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o preach_v in_o most_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o few_o than_o can_v read_v english_a and_o yet_o by_o the_o constant_a and_o general_a use_n of_o the_o liturgy_n and_o god_n blessing_n upon_o it_o the_o whole_a nation_n be_v so_o edify_v in_o the_o true_a religion_n that_o there_o be_v scarce_o one_o in_o a_o hundred_o but_o forsake_v and_o abhor_v all_o popish_a doctrine_n and_o superstition_n which_o be_v a_o undeniable_a argument_n that_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o it_o be_v as_o edify_v as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n to_o be_v in_o so_o much_o that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o common_a prayer_n be_v use_v and_o frequent_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a for_o popery_n to_o get_v any_o ground_n among_o we_o but_o if_o this_o bulwark_n be_v once_o remove_v which_o god_n forbid_v our_o grand_a adversary_n will_v soon_o accomplish_v his_o malicious_a design_n upon_o we_o one_o way_n or_o other_o this_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o have_v leave_v no_o stone_n unturned_a to_o effect_v

kind_n of_o spirit_n the_o common_a prayer_n be_v then_o cast_v out_o you_o all_o know_v and_o some_o of_o you_o find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v of_o it_o be_v only_o
