A54945	A discourse of prayer wherein this great duty is stated, so as to oppose some principles and practices of Papists and fanaticks; as they are contrary to the publick forms of the Church of England, established by her ecclesiastical canons, and confirmed by acts of Parliament. By Thomas Pittis, D.D. one of His Majesties chaplains in ordinary. Wherefore, that way and profession in religion, which gives the best directions for it, (viz. prayer) with the most effectual motives to it, and most aboundeth in its observance, hath therein the advantage of all others. Dr. Owen in his preface to his late discourse of the work of the Holy SPirit in prayer, &c.	Pittis, Thomas, 1636-1687.	1683 (1683)	Wing P2314; ESTC R220541	149,431	404

mean_n ordain_v for_o their_o own_o preservation_n chap._n ix_o that_o i_o may_v now_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o may_v just_o infer_v from_o the_o whole_a these_o three_o proposition_n the_o exemplify_a of_o which_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o brief_a in_o as_o i_o may_v at_o least_o as_o short_a as_o may_v comport_v with_o the_o bad_a time_n in_o which_o we_o live_v 1._o that_o the_o prayer_n and_o service_n of_o our_o own_o church_n the_o church_n of_o england_n establish_v by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v compose_v and_o perform_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o god_n will_v accept_v they_o 2._o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n offend_v he_o with_o they_o and_o be_v most_o irrational_o and_o abominable_o peccant_a in_o their_o devotion_n and_o 3._o that_o they_o who_o live_v among_o we_o and_o yet_o strange_o separate_v from_o we_o under_o the_o shelter_n and_o pretence_n of_o great_a reformation_n and_o a_o more_o pure_a evangelical_n worship_n do_v not_o perform_v their_o service_n unto_o god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o attribute_n and_o worship_n man_n dependence_n and_o that_o infinite_a distance_n betwixt_o their_o creator_n and_o themselves_o and_o so_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o must_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a service_n first_o it_o may_v be_v plain_o infer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n embody_v with_o the_o state_n allow_v and_o strengthen_v by_o civil_a sanction_n worship_n god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o he_o accept_v and_o offer_v he_o such_o a_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n with_o which_o he_o be_v well_o please_v that_o can_v no_o way_n be_v frustrate_v of_o its_o excellent_a design_n but_o by_o a_o neglect_n in_o the_o devotionist_n or_o the_o bad_a life_n of_o those_o who_o pretend_v thus_o to_o worship_n this_o will_v appear_v though_o not_o only_o from_o that_o which_o our_o adversary_n be_v please_v sometime_o to_o call_v a_o club_n argument_n because_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o a_o royal_a christian_a assent_n in_o parliament_n and_o yet_o this_o as_o it_o make_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o those_o who_o contend_v with_o we_o become_v sacred_a though_o at_o other_o time_n when_o the_o advice_n of_o parliament_n with_o their_o own_o consent_n be_v by_o the_o king_n pass_v into_o a_o law_n if_o it_o contra●icts_v either_o their_o principle_n or_o their_o humour_n and_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o guess_v which_o be_v the_o commander_n it_o shall_v be_v judge_v hard_o or_o sanguinary_a or_o not_o agree_v with_o that_o liberty_n in_o which_o christ_n have_v make_v we_o free_a and_o a_o text_n utter_v at_o first_o upon_o a_o very_a far_o different_a account_n shall_v be_v as_o frequent_o urge_v as_o it_o have_v be_v answer_v we_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n so_o that_o such_o person_n be_v extreme_o for_o government_n according_a to_o law_n when_o this_o allow_v or_o indulge_v their_o principle_n and_o their_o practice_n but_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v unequal_a and_o unjust_a when_o the_o same_o law_n condemn_v and_o punish_v they_o and_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v like_o a_o noble_a traitor_n accuse_v and_o now_o go_v to_o his_o trial_n who_o walk_v in_o state_n and_z seem_o with_o a_o unconcerned_a mind_n nay_o many_o time_n with_o joy_n and_o briskness_n in_o his_o

his_o face_n be_v demure_a he_o tread_v the_o earth_n with_o tremble_a step_n and_o wish_n there_o have_v be_v no_o law_n to_o condemn_v he_o and_o if_o he_o have_v any_o sprightliness_n in_o his_o look_n his_o end_n be_v only_o by_o this_o significant_a ceremony_n to_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o he_o remain_v innocent_a and_o that_o the_o law_n be_v hard_a by_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v though_o perhaps_o before_o when_o it_o serve_v his_o turn_n and_o promotion_n too_o nothing_o be_v like_o government_n according_a to_o law_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o argument_n because_o it_o may_v
