but_o not_o justifiable_a custom_n one_o thing_n i_o shall_v add_v more_o and_o it_o be_v a_o short_a discourse_n how_o the_o pulpit-form_n of_o prayer_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o must_v know_v then_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n the_o manner_n common_o be_v to_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n or_o else_o a_o ave_fw-la maria_n before_o sermon_n so_o that_o when_o edward_n the_o six_o come_v to_o compose_v his_o injunction_n he_o make_v choice_n as_o he_o have_v good_a reason_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n for_o that_o purpose_n but_o because_o it_o be_v think_v fit_a that_o the_o king_n be_v just_a supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n shall_v be_v at_o the_o least_o weekly_o publish_v to_o the_o people_n it_o be_v think_v expedient_a to_o premise_v to_o the_o pater_fw-la noster_fw-la a_o form_n as_o his_o injunction_n style_v it_o of_o bid_v prayer_n wherein_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o to_o speak_v to_o god_n but_o only_o to_o the_o people_n exhort_v they_o to_o pray_v instant_o for_o such_o and_o such_o person_n but_o he_o pray_v not_o to_o god_n at_o all_o until_o he_o close_v with_o the_o lord_n prayer_n this_o be_v likewise_o confirm_v in_o the_o injunction_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o express_o call_v the_o form_n of_o bid_v prayer_n and_o when_o king_n james_n of_o bless_a memory_n turn_v those_o injunction_n into_o canon_n his_o law_n run_v canon_n 55._o that_o minister_n shall_v move_v the_o people_n to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o prayer_n viz._n in_o this_o form_n of_o bid_v prayer_n you_o shall_v pray_v for_o christ_n catholic_n church_n &c._n &c._n conclude_v always_o with_o the_o lord_n prayer_n now_o let_v any_o indifferent_a man_n judge_v be_v exhortation_n proper_a form_n of_o prayer_n nay_o let_v a_o discern_a man_n consider_v it_o well_o and_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o thing_n there_o prudent_o speak_v by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n and_o narration_n will_v prove_v very_o absurd_a in_o prayer_n how_o fond_a will_v it_o appear_v to_o tell_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n of_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n our_o sovereign_a lord_n charles_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n king_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n or_o as_o some_o do_v oft_o tell_v god_n of_o such_o a_o lord_n earl_n of_o such_o a_o place_n and_o baron_n of_o another_o and_o of_o his_o majesty_n honourable_a privy_a council_n and_o his_o very_a good_a lord_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o when_o we_o do_v but_o exhort_v they_o to_o join_v their_o prayer_n such_o clause_n may_v not_o be_v unfit_a i_o can_v scarce_o think_v of_o any_o other_o way_n to_o defend_v they_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o form_n be_v there_o viz._n can._n 55._o call_v prayer_n before_o sermon_n and_o so_o it_o be_v because_o we_o then_o say_v together_o with_o the_o preacher_n the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o those_o very_a purpose_n he_o exhort_v and_o they_o well_o know_v who_o know_v divinity_n that_o all_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v reducible_a to_o that_o holy_a form_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o preacher_n exhortation_n be_v a_o prayer_n for_o that_o he_o than_o speak_v not_o at_o all_o to_o god_n himself_o but_o to_o the_o people_n indeed_o upon_o a_o occasion_n extraordinary_a it_o be_v a_o prayer_n of_o no_o ordinary_a composition_n and_o therefore_o call_v the_o form_n of_o bid_v prayer_n
