will_v find_v no_o difference_n in_o this_o since_o you_o can_v say_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o use_v the_o psalm_n in_o meeter_n or_o with_o tune_n for_o nothing_o prove_v we_o ought_v to_o use_v they_o with_o vocal_a tune_n but_o will_v conclude_v as_o strong_o for_o all_o david_n instrument_n beside_o who_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o david_n psalm_n be_v to_o be_v constant_o use_v in_o worship_n it_o be_v clear_a most_o of_o they_o be_v not_o intend_v for_o constant_a use_n they_o relate_v to_o particular_n of_o david_n history_n and_o victory_n which_o belong_v not_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v we_o ought_v to_o sing_v his_o imprecatory_a psalm_n as_o also_o many_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o psalm_n which_o we_o can_v sing_v because_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v they_o and_o it_o be_v clear_a we_o ought_v to_o praise_n god_n with_o our_o understanding_n and_o not_o above_o twenty_o of_o the_o psalm_n be_v use_v by_o the_o jew_n in_o worship_n to_o conclude_v why_o may_v not_o the_o christian_a church_n compose_v new_a hymn_n as_o they_o of_o corinth_n do_v for_o which_o they_o be_v approven_v by_o st._n paul_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o necessary_a because_o from_o david_n psalm_n we_o be_v not_o furnish_v with_o such_o full_a and_o clear_a hymn_n upon_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a belief_n as_o be_v needful_a and_o what_o kind_n of_o reason_n can_v you_o have_v who_o plead_v so_o much_o for_o a_o liberty_n in_o prayer_n and_o yet_o allow_v none_o in_o make_v of_o hymn_n why_o then_o do_v not_o you_o use_v the_o glory_n to_o the_o father_n n._n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o be_v but_o a_o device_n of_o man_n c._n who_o will_v not_o be_v sick_a with_o such_o pitiful_a folly_n show_v i_o a_o reason_n why_o you_o may_v make_v prayer_n and_o not_o praise_n beside_o be_v not_o your_o meet_a psalm_n a_o device_n of_o man_n and_o they_o recede_v from_o the_o text_n as_o i_o can_v trace_v it_o in_o a_o hundred_o place_n as_o much_o as_o the_o doxology_n do_v from_o scripture_n word_n and_o you_o understand_v music_n little_a if_o you_o do_v not_o know_v that_o the_o psalm_n in_o prose_n may_v be_v sing_v as_o well_o and_o as_o musical_o as_o they_o can_v be_v in_o rhyme_n beside_o since_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o s.s._n trinity_n be_v not_o so_o clear_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n nor_o in_o any_o psalm_n why_o may_v not_o the_o church_n use_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o in_o the_o end_n of_o their_o sing_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o end_n of_o prayer_n be_v ordinary_o say_v to_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o such_o childish_a weakness_n make_v i_o sometime_o doubt_v whether_o your_o rational_a faculty_n be_v not_o trouble_v since_o what_o difference_n can_v you_o pretend_v betwixt_o sing_v and_o say_v but_o i_o will_v return_v to_o prayer_n consider_v next_o how_o hosea_n the_o prophet_n prescribe_v a_o form_n when_o he_o say_v take_v with_o you_o word_n and_o say_v etc._n etc._n our_o saviour_n also_o pray_v thrice_o and_o though_o the_o three_o time_n be_v more_o fervent_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o word_n which_o show_v that_o fervour_n consist_v not_o in_o a_o vary_a of_o the_o phrase_n next_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o in_o the_o church_n they_o use_v form_n very_o early_o since_o in_o the_o council_n of_o laodicea_n it_o be_v decree_v that_o the_o same_o liturgy_n of_o prayer_n shall_v be_v use_v morning_n and_o evening_n it●_n be_v true_a there_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a liturgy_n then_o agree_v to_o but_o bishop_n have_v their_o several_a liturgy_n so_o we_o have_v the_o liturgy_n of_o st._n basile_n st._n chrysostome_n and_o st._n ambrose_n not_o to_o mention_v those_o of_o st._n james_n and_o st._n mark_n but_o never_o be_v extemporary_a heat_n use_v in_o the_o church_n and_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n have_v their_o liturgy_n so_o we_o have_v we_o at_o our_o first_o reformation_n n._n but_o we_o be_v a_o pure_a church_n than_o any_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o learn_v of_o they_o c._n i_o know_v you_o be_v make_v believe_v that_o all_o the_o world_n be_v wonder_v at_o you_o but_o this_o be_v a_o cheat_n upon_o you_o like_o that_o of_o your_o allege_a prophetess_n for_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n true_a one_o thing_n be_v strange_o inconsequential_a among_o you_o you_o will_v not_o pray_v in_o a_o liturgy_n and_o yet_o you_o always_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o a_o set_a form_n do_v you_o think_v prayer_n for_o a_o blessing_n be_v not_o a_o prayer_n or_o do_v you_o think_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o stint_v when_o the_o form_n be_v short_a but_o only_o when_o it_o be_v long_a sure_o these_o thing_n show_v you_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o reason_n n._n what_o then_o conclude_v you_o from_o all_o this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o english_a liturgy_n be_v bring_v in_o c._n it_o be_v that_o you_o consider_v better_o how_o you_o ought_v to_o worship_v god_n as_o for_o the_o english_a liturgy_n i_o do_v not_o say_v any_o thing_n be_v absolute_o perfect_a but_o god_n yet_o till_o i_o see_v a_o better_a liturgy_n compile_v which_o i_o never_o hitherto_o do_v pardon_v i_o to_o think_v it_o a_o excellent_a rule_n for_o worship_n although_o your_o deep_a but_o groundless_a prejudices_fw-la against_o it_o have_v render_v you_o so_o uncapable_a of_o receive_v good_a by_o it_o that_o such_o be_v your_o sovereign_n princely_a tenderness_n and_o your_o superior_n discreet_a prudence_n that_o they_o do_v not_o obtrude_v on_o you_o while_o you_o be_v but_o babe_n this_o strong_a food_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o let_v you_o be_v do_v with_o your_o milk_n n._n this_o be_v easy_a way_n for_o man_n to_o read_v their_o prayer_n off_o their_o book_n god_n keep_v we_o long_o from_o it_o c._n true_o if_o by_o easiness_n you_o mean_v what_o be_v pleasant_a to_o a_o man_n it_o be_v far_o from_o it_o for_o certain_o the_o natural_a man_n will_v be_v much_o better_o please_v to_o be_v run_v out_o with_o his_o own_o conception_n and_o to_o have_v all_o the_o worship_n depend_v upon_o his_o lip_n this_o be_v indeed_o to_o be_v rabbi_n but_o to_o use_v the_o form_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o more_o simple_a and_o a_o more_o humble_a way_n of_o worship_n n._n i_o begin_v to_o think_v you_o can_v have_v no_o piety_n who_o be_v so_o in_o love_n with_o that_o dead_a and_o dull_a worship_n c._n will_v to_o god_n you_o and_o i_o have_v more_o of_o it_o than_o we_o have_v but_o it_o be_v perhaps_o your_o stupidity_n that_o make_v you_o dead_a and_o dull_a in_o it_o and_o i_o know_v godly_a people_n who_o protest_v they_o never_o in_o their_o life_n worship_v god_n with_o more_o pure_a and_o simple_a devotion_n than_o when_o they_o join_v in_o the_o english_a liturgy-worship_n therefore_o in_o such_o matter_n speak_v more_o modest_o n._n but_o what_o vain_a repetition_n be_v in_o the_o liturgy_n how_o often_o redouble_v they_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o c._n i_o have_v not_o yet_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n perfect_a but_o true_o i_o can_v think_v that_o no_o fault_n except_o you_o will_v also_o quarrel_v with_o the_o psalm_n particular_o with_o the_o 136._o in_o which_o be_v repeat_v 26._o time_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v in_o every_o verse_n but_o in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o vain_a repetition_n i_o fear_v there_o be_v ground_n to_o say_v many_o of_o ●our_n prayer_n may_v be_v censure_v for_o they_o n._n but_o what_o a_o confusion_n be_v it_o that_o all_o say_v some_o of_o the_o prayer_n together_o and_o use_v amen_o c._n it_o seem_v you_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n well_o else_o you_o will_v have_v find_v act_v 4._o how_o a_o whole_a company_n there_o lift_v up_o their_o voice_n to_o god_n with_o one_o accord_n and_o say_v etc._n etc._n and_o st._n paul_n plain_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o custom_n of_o say_v amen_o at_o the_o give_v of_o thanks_o why_o then_o do_v you_o not_o in_o this_o follow_v the_o express_a scripture-rule_a and_o what_o imaginable_a ground_n be_v there_o that_o the_o people_n shall_v all_o with_o their_o voice_n join_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o not_o also_o in_o the_o prayer_n n._n well_o i_o see_v you_o be_v zealous_a for_o that_o service-book_n but_o shall_v you_o speak_v till_o to_o morrow_n you_o shall_v never_o persuade_v i_o to_o join_v in_o it_o but_o be_v you_o as_o keen_a for_o the_o ceremony_n c._n i_o very_o
