incline_v they_o i_o much_o reverence_v the_o national_a church_n of_o england_n without_o despise_v or_o factious_o adhere_v to_o any_o congregational_a assembly_n and_o heretofore_o conceive_v that_o set-form_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o in_o public_a as_o in_o private_a be_v for_o many_o respect_v expedient_a at_o sometime_o for_o some_o person_n though_o not_o always_o necessary_a for_o all_o man_n i_o believe_v as_o i_o still_o do_v that_o such_o prayer_n as_o be_v at_o any_o time_n dictate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v at_o all_o time_n accompany_v and_o sanctify_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n when_o any_o congregation_n or_o person_n have_v the_o same_o occasion_n do_v with_o a_o sincere_a intention_n of_o the_o heart_n speak_v they_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o same_o

officiate_v as_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o congregation_n i_o think_v also_o that_o such_o form_n as_o be_v enjoin_v may_v be_v helpful_a to_o some_o either_o to_o bring_v thing_n needful_a at_o present_a to_o remembrance_n which_o may_v else_o have_v be_v forget_v or_o to_o assist_v those_o who_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o vocal_a prayer_n in_o public_a or_o to_o help_v instruct_v the_o ignorant_a in_o give_v decent_a attribute_n to_o god_n in_o their_o devotion_n or_o to_o stir_v up_o their_o own_o or_o other_o man_n hearr_n in_o that_o duty_n by_o prevent_v such_o tautology_n

performance_n of_o that_o duty_n i_o judge_v likewise_o that_o the_o form_n of_o prayer_n public_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v pious_a and_o in_o few_o particular_n just_o to_o be_v except_v against_o as_o offensive_a if_o not_o magisterial_o impose_v as_o necessary_a for_o all_o or_o formal_o only_o repeat_v without_o a_o hearty_a intention_n yea_o i_o confess_v that_o i_o conceive_v the_o let_v any_o whereat_o much_o offence_n be_v take_v to_o be_v the_o best_a pattern_n of_o prayer_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o form_n for_o a_o congregation_n or_o family_n next_o to_o that_o which_o be_v prescribe_v by_o our_o saviour_n because_o consist_v of_o many_o short_a petition_n confession_n and_o deprecation_n to_o be_v use_v as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v the_o

than_o usual_o they_o be_v in_o a_o long_a continue_a prayer_n and_o for_o that_o it_o join_v together_o both_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o people_n in_o their_o devotion_n upon_o these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n i_o have_v a_o reverend_a esteem_n of_o that_o form_n and_o of_o some_o other_o prayer_n notwithstanding_o their_o objection_n who_o say_v the_o common-prayer-book_n be_v take_v
