word_n with_o my_o understanding_n that_o by_o my_o voice_n i_o may_v teach_v other_o than_o ten_o thousand_o word_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n where_o he_o expound_v speak_v with_o understanding_n to_o be_v a_o teach_n of_o other_o by_o our_o voice_n and_o he_o oppose_v it_o to_o speak_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n but_o that_o to_o pray_v with_o understanding_n be_v to_o pray_v so_o as_o to_o be_v understand_v therefore_o beza_n render_v it_o well_o precabor_fw-la intelligentiâ_fw-la i_o will_v pray_v with_o intelligence_n that_o be_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o other_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o scope_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o apostle_n throughout_o this_o whole_a chapter_n to_o show_v that_o all_o spiritual_a gift_n shall_v be_v use_v to_o edification_n for_o there_o be_v at_o that_o time_n divers_a in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n who_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n pray_v and_o sing_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n whereby_o the_o people_n be_v not_o edify_v but_o amaze_v and_o the_o apostle_n here_o correct_v the_o abuse_n of_o that_o gift_n and_o will_v have_v nothing_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o whereby_o the_o church_n may_v receive_v edify_v and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n which_o they_o have_v by_o miracle_n and_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n far_o less_o will_v he_o suffer_v man_n now_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n which_o they_o have_v not_o by_o miracle_z or_o any_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o by_o their_o own_o study_n and_o labour_n they_o of_o corinth_n do_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n though_o they_o do_v not_o pray_v with_o understanding_n but_o they_o of_o rome_n pray_v neither_o with_o the_o spirit_n nor_o with_o understanding_n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n set_v himself_o so_o much_o against_o that_o practice_n as_o if_o he_o have_v see_v that_o which_o happen_v afterward_o in_o the_o western_a church_n to_o have_v all_o their_o prayer_n in_o latin_a after_o that_o the_o latin_a tongue_n cease_v to_o be_v the_o know_v vulgar_a tongue_n understand_v by_o the_o people_n he_o use_v at_o least_o eight_o or_o nine_o argument_n against_o it_o which_o i_o can_v now_o stay_v to_o repeat_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o they_o all_o be_v this_o that_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v do_v to_o edification_n and_o so_o also_o prayer_n but_o no_o man_n be_v edify_v by_o hear_v that_o which_o he_o understand_v

may_v do_v well_o to_o turn_v this_o whole_a chapter_n out_o of_o their_o bibles_n as_o they_o have_v do_v the_o second_o commandment_n out_o of_o their_o primmer_n for_o it_o speak_v clear_o against_o prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o so_o it_o be_v understand_v by_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o the_o church_n for_o above_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n do_v religious_o observe_v the_o apostle_n direction_n so_o that_o all_o nation_n convert_v to_o the_o faith_n have_v their_o prayer_n in_o their_o common_a vulgar_a tongue_n as_o have_v be_v full_o prove_v by_o the_o learned_a jewel_n 3._o artic._n 3._o of_o england_n and_o the_o same_o be_v confess_v by_o many_o learned_a papist_n aquinas_n aenaeas_n silvius_n durand_n lyra_n eckius_fw-la and_o mr._n harding_n albeit_o he_o struggle_v hard_a to_o instance_n the_o contrary_a yet_o be_v overcome_v by_o evidence_n of_o truth_n he_o make_v this_o confession_n this_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o the_o faith_n be_v a_o learning_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v their_o prayer_n in_o a_o common_a know_a tongue_n 3._o against_o jewel_n artic._n 3._o and_o be_v it_o not_o as_o necessary_a now_o for_o the_o faith_n be_v still_o a_o learning_n and_o albeit_o there_o be_v not_o such_o need_n of_o miracle_n now_o as_o then_o yet_o there_o be_v as_o great_a need_n of_o edification_n therefore_o let_v we_o have_v a_o care_n still_o to_o pray_v with_o understanding_n application_n i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o my_o text_n and_o will_v only_o labour_v to_o bring_v it_o home_o by_o application_n that_o you_o may_v perceive_v what_o be_v my_o drift_n in_o this_o discourse_n and_o what_o be_v the_o use_n that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o make_v of_o it_o it_o be_v agree_v by_o all_o christian_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v public_a prayer_n in_o the_o church_n and_o by_o all_o protestant_n that_o these_o prayer_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o know_a vulgar_a tongue_n the_o question_n that_o now_o trouble_v we_o be_v whether_o these_o prayer_n shall_v be_v extemporary_a or_o premeditate_v and_o if_o premeditate_a whether_o the_o private_a meditation_n of_o the_o minister_n alone_o or_o a_o common_a know_a form_n wherein_o all_o may_v join_v and_o if_o we_o will_v admit_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v umpire_n he_o will_v afford_v we_o a_o clear_a determination_n of_o that_o controversy_n out_o of_o this_o text_n for_o certain_o that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v both_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o the_o understanding_n but_o so_o be_v not_o extemporary_a prayer_n it_o be_v neither_o with_o the_o spirit_n nor_o yet_o with_o understanding_n not_o with_o the_o spirit_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o we_o can_v now_o pray_v by_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n but_o by_o the_o direction_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n direct_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o word_n and_o assist_v we_o inward_o with_o his_o motion_n but_o they_o who_o pray_v without_o advice_n and_o consideration_n can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n nor_o yet_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n for_o to_o follow_v that_o will_v require_v some_o study_n and_o deliberation_n no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o thing_n after_o a_o pattern_n or_o make_v one_o thing_n like_a unto_o another_o but_o it_o will_v require_v some_o study_n and_o advise_v to_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o to_o fit_v the_o copy_n to_o the_o sampler_n so_o we_o can_v make_v a_o complete_a prayer_n consist_v of_o confession_n petition_n for_o thing_n necessary_a intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o and_o square_v all_o these_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n but_o we_o must_v take_v some_o time_n to_o study_v and_o advise_v with_o the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o every_o confession_n that_o will_v please_v god_n nor_o every_o petition_n that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o we_o may_v err_v in_o our_o prayer_n and_o err_v so_o dangerous_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v turn_v into_o sin_n as_o david_n say_v st._n james_n tell_v we_o of_o many_o that_o ask_v amiss_o 3._o psal_n 109._o james_n 4_o 3._o rhe_n disciple_n themselves_o do_v it_o when_o they_o desire_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v the_o samaritan_n which_o be_v not_o good_a the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n desire_v to_o fit_v one_o on_o christ_n right_a hand_n the_o other_o on_o his_o left_a and_o though_o that_o be_v good_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n fit_a for_o god_n to_o grant_v if_o they_o be_v not_o privilege_v from_o error_n far_o less_o be_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o advise_v well_o our_o prayer_n take_v god_n word_n for_o our_o guide_n we_o shall_v think_v before_o we_o speak_v and_o even_o after_o that_o we_o have_v think_v we_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o lay_v our_o thought_n upon_o god_n altar_n till_o first_o we_o have_v weigh_v they_o in_o the_o ballane_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n as_o they_o who_o pray_v without_o study_n and_o deliberation_n can_v follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n so_o neither_o can_v they_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o god_n spirit_n work_v by_o mean_n and_o then_o most_o assist_v we_o when_o we_o most_o endeavour_n i_o show_v unto_o you_o before_o that_o the_o spirit_n in_o all_o his_o other_o gift_n and_o production_n require_v our_o endeavour_n and_o consequent_o he_o require_v the_o same_o in_o our_o prayer_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n 8.26_o rom._n 8.26_o where_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n help_v we_o to_o pray_v use_v a_o word_n which_o do_v import_v our_o own_o study_n and_o labour_n for_o it_o signify_v that_o he_o help_v we_o in_o our_o labour_n together_o with_o he_o so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o spirit_n help_v we_o to_o pray_v we_o
