will_v not_o insist_v upon_o his_o say_n they_o pray_v for_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o gentile_n from_o their_o error_n and_o for_o all_o man_n though_o these_o be_v piece_n of_o ancient_a litany_n i_o only_o ask_v whether_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v pray_v for_o unless_o people_n be_v bind_v up_o to_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o particular_a

here_o do_v not_o appear_v any_o thing_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o think_v he_o mean_v prescribe_v form_n but_o his_o very_a next_o word_n intimate_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o call_v they_o common_a

a_o rule_n for_o it_o he_o say_v there_o be_v also_o some_o kind_n of_o uniformity_n in_o their_o sacramental_a prayer_n 5._o p._n 5._o that_o be_v a_o general_a agreement_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o

with_o they_o and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v take_v away_o all_o iniquity_n etc._n etc._n hos_fw-la 14.2_o 3_o 4._o it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v command_v they_o to_o use_v word_n in_o their_o prayer_n and_o direct_v they_o what_o sort_n of_o word_n to_o use_v but_o let_v the_o doctor_n answer_v when_o he_o think_v fit_a whether_o god_n do_v bind_v they_o to_o use_v no_o word_n but_o what_o be_v there_o mention_v but_o further_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n be_v indict_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o command_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v use_v there_o be_v the_o inference_n from_o hence_o plain_a and_o just_a therefore_o man_n may_v devise_v prayer_n of_o their_o own_o and_o oblige_v the_o church_n to_o use_v these_o and_o none_o but_o these_o the_o doctor_n refer_v to_o doctor_n hammond_n and_o doctor_n lightfoot_n for_o proof_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o fix_a liturgy_n whether_o their_o proof_n

not_o insist_v on_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o jewish_a and_o christian_a church-state_n for_o we_o may_v suppose_v form_n may_v be_v of_o general_a use_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o express_a abrogation_n of_o that_o way_n to_o warrant_v people_n addressing_z themselves_o public_o to_o god_n in_o another_o way_n than_o by_o stint_a form_n for_o prayer_n be_v command_v and_o there_o be_v two_o way_n wherein_o this_o duty_n may_v be_v perform_v viz._n by_o stint_a form_n and_o by_o express_v themselves_o true_o according_a to_o general_a

else_o will_v follow_v than_o what_o the_o doctor_n do_v conclude_v even_o what_o the_o doctor_n i_o be_o persuade_v will_v not_o be_v very_o willing_a to_o stand_v to_o for_o see_v the_o jew_n do_v

other_o form_n be_v leave_v upon_o record_n either_o in_o the_o gospel_n or_o epistle_n for_o by_o the_o doctor_n discourse_n the_o disciple_n have_v form_n of_o prayer_n which_o must_v certain_o be_v jewish_n form_n and_o christ_n only_o teach_v they_o another_o form_n which_o they_o be_v to_o add_v to_o those_o they_o have_v before_o yea_o according_a to_o what_o the_o doctor_n relate_v the_o lord_n jesus_n when_o he_o provide_v his_o disciple_n a_o new_a form_n to_o be_v add_v to_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o only_o so_o far_o from_o discharge_v people_n and_o set_v his_o disciple_n free_a from_o the_o stint_a way_n of_o liturgy_n but_o from_o their_o obligation_n to_o the_o jewish_a form_n that_o he_o will_v consine_n himself_o in_o the_o very_a prayer_n he_o make_v they_o whereby_o they_o be_v to_o be_v know_v from_o all_o other_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n to_o the_o jewish_a liturgy_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v one_o sentence_n in_o his_o prayer_n but_o what_o he_o take_v out_o of_o the_o jewish_a prayer_n then_o in_o use_n now_o those_o who_o devote_v themselves_o to_o such_o notion_n as_o these_o may_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v whether_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o the_o doctor_n report_v that_o christ_n take_v every_o sentence_n of_o his_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o jewish_a prayer_n and_o teach_v it_o his_o disciple_n that_o they_o may_v add_v it_o to_o
