liturgy_n 6._o p._n 6._o instead_o of_o intimate_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o reform_v the_o old_a method_n of_o pray_v by_o form_n do_v show_v his_o approbation_n of_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o a_o

that_o the_o doctor_n do_v ordinary_o discourse_v too_o loose_o concern_v form_n of_o prayer_n as_o not_o be_v mindful_a of_o what_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o discourse_v of_o for_o if_o he_o
