in_o all_o a_o perfection_n of_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n a_o quickness_n of_o conceit_n and_o a_o full_a freedom_n and_o power_n of_o expression_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v the_o outward_a help_n

may_v be_v far_o more_o edify_v far_o more_o profitable_a for_o the_o people_n than_o another_o then_o what_o be_v all_o these_o text_n to_o the_o purpose_n we_o find_v in_o the_o ancient_a record_n that_o the_o jew_n in_o god_n ancient_a church_n have_v their_o several_a section_n part_n and_o portion_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o call_v paraschioth_n distinct_a parcel_n set_v out_o to_o

be_v read_v out_o of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o part_n out_o of_o the_o prophe●●_n and_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o be_v tie_v either_o to_o read_v or_o to_o expound_v upon_o one_o book_n whole_o and_o go_v through_o it_o all_o along_o in_o order_n but_o take_v part_n and_o portion_n of_o scripture_n such_o as_o they_o account_v most_o useful_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o people_n most_o edify_v and_o also_o most_o proper_a for_o the_o time_n which_o they_o do_v not_o only_o read_v but_o expound_v and_o preach_v upon_o especial_o these_o select_a epistle_n and_o gospel_n as_o may_v plain_o appear_v to_o any_o man_n by_o the_o many_o and_o several_a postill_v which_o be_v extant_a upon_o they_o object_n the_o respond_v and_o answer_v of_o the_o clerk_n be_v not_o fit_v none_o shall_v speak_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o minister_n answ_n we_o acknowledge_v as_o the_o minister_n be_v the_o mouth_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n by_o preach_v so_o he_o be_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o people_n again_o to_o god_n by_o prayer_n but_o then_o 1._o you_o must_v remember_v to_o conceive_v of_o the_o minister_n as_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o church_n and_o helper_n of_o the_o congregation_n in_o prayer_n he_o be_v not_o there_o as_o a_o private_a man_n pray_v only_o for_o himself_o and_o pour_v out_o his_o own_o necessity_n but_o as_o a_o public_a person_n present_v to_o god_n the_o petition_n of_o the_o people_n their_o prayer_n and_o sure_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v and_o judge_v though_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n be_v there_o present_a yet_o if_o their_o heart_n if_o not_o their_o lip_n do_v not_o join_v with_o he_o those_o prayer_n which_o he_o make_v and_o there_o pour_v out_o be_v

rather_o account_v by_o god_n a_o delusion_n in_o they_o see_v he_o be_v but_o their_o mouth_n their_o speaker_n to_o deliver_v and_o present_v their_o petition_n to_o god_n to_o utter_v they_o for_o the_o people_n and_o in_o their_o behalf_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o people_n to_o think_v that_o in_o the_o common-prayer_n of_o the_o church_n the_o minister_n can_v do_v all_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n for_o they_o without_o they_o they_o must_v consider_v they_o come_v not_o to_o the_o church_n the_o house_n of_o prayer_n to_o hear_v the_o minister_n pray_v but_o to_o pray_v themselves_o and_o to_o join_v their_o heart_n if_o not_o their_o voice_n with_o the_o minister_n in_o the_o common-prayer_n of_o the_o church_n 2_o you_o must_v also_o take_v notice_n that_o this_o
