2._o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o most_o competent_a judge_n of_o what_o make_v for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n and_o what_o they_o declare_v do_v tend_v to_o that_o end_n no_o

the_o church_n good_a which_o we_o can_v think_v any_o since_o they_o can_v exceed_v they_o in_o these_o thing_n be_v suppose_v we_o be_v only_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o deliver_v his_o sense_n in_o our_o present_a subject_n viz._n that_o prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n it_o seem_v somewhat_o hard_o to_o we_o to_o be_v put_v to_o prove_v a_o matter_n so_o evident_a from_o st._n paul_n discourse_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o we_o can_v not_o imagine_v any_o will_v go_v about_o to_o reconcile_v prayer_n

be_v child_n or_o mad_a man_n can_v they_o imagine_v god_n give_v they_o these_o gift_n of_o tongue_n to_o make_v uncouth_a and_o insignificant_a sound_n with_o where_o the_o people_n be_v meet_v

to_o be_v speak_v only_o of_o instruction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o not_o of_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o that_o the_o case_n be_v not_o alike_o in_o both_o these_o he_o add_v if_o i_o pray_v in_o
