here_o to_o entreat_v they_o to_o go_v to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n i_o mean_v the_o lord_n prayer_n there_o deliver_v matth._n 6.9_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o warrant_n and_o pattern_n for_o form_n of_o prayer_n even_o in_o gospel-time_n i_o assert_v not_o here_o the_o necessity_n or_o expediency_n of_o form_n for_o all_o but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o mere_o to_o use_v a_o form_n be_v not_o sinful_a and_o further_o that_o some_o form_n may_v be_v a_o meet_a help_n for_o some_o man_n that_o prayer_n by_o a_o form_n be_v better_a than_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o and_o that_o if_o i_o can_v preach_v prayer_n though_o by_o a_o form_n into_o all_o those_o house_n and_o closert_n in_o england_n where_o now_o there_o be_v no_o prayer_n at_o all_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v through_o grace_n do_v god_n and_o his_o church_n a_o acceptable_a service_n the_o five_o sort_n namely_o those_o who_o look_v upon_o the_o mere_a rehearsal_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n though_o without_o a_o right_a understanding_n and_o suitable_a affection_n to_o be_v a_o meritorious_a act_n these_o be_v the_o man_n for_o who_o sake_n the_o way_n of_o truth_n wherein_o good_a man_n go_v in_o this_o matter_n be_v evil_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v the_o idolize_v the_o very_a word_n and_o syllable_n of_o this_o prayer_n without_o regard_n to_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o or_o use_v it_o with_o faith_n and_o fervency_n which_o have_v occasion_v other_o who_o have_v a_o zeal_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n in_o this_o thing_n to_o deal_v with_o this_o golden_a prayer_n much_o like_a as_o hezekiah_n do_v with_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n let_v i_o not_o become_v their_o enemy_n and_o i_o will_v tell_v they_o the_o truth_n the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a person_n be_v like_o a_o pearl_n in_o a_o swine_n snout_n as_o it_o be_v not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v lord_n lord_n that_o prayer_n with_o some_o

against_o it_o and_o there_o be_v both_o scripture_n and_o reason_n for_o it_o what_o plain_a word_n need_v our_o lord_n to_o have_v use_v upon_o supposition_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o use_v this_o prayer_n sure_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v we_o shall_v not_o have_v use_v it_o he_o will_v never_o have_v express_v himself_o in_o such_o word_n as_o these_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v etc._n etc._n have_v our_o lord_n mean_v it_o only_o as_o a_o pattern_n &_o in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v use_v as_o a_o prayer_n he_o will_v probable_o have_v bid_v they_o when_o they_o ask_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v as_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n pray_v that_o god_n name_n may_v be_v sanctify_v his_o will_n do_v etc._n etc._n and_o not_o have_v frame_v it_o into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o prayer_n

of_o use_v it_o as_o for_o the_o prayer_n itself_o i_o will_v confident_o say_v of_o this_o prayer_n what_o be_v too_o bold_o in_o my_o judgement_n say_v of_o the_o common-prayer_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v impssible_a for_o man_n and_o angel_n to_o mend_v it_o yea_o though_o i_o will_v not_o say_v our_o lord_n christ_n can_v not_o yet_o i_o dare_v say_v he_o never_o do_v give_v a_o more_o perfect_a

all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apologist_n to_o do_v as_o one_o of_o they_o viz._n mr._n jer._n burrough_n who_o name_n be_v precious_a still_o among_o the_o saint_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v namely_o sometime_o to_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o congregation_n for_o though_o there_o be_v publish_v reason_n of_o dissent_v brethren_n against_o presbytery_n yet_o i_o never_o either_o see_v
