bitter_a reflection_n upon_o themselves_o i_o come_v to_o ceremony_n and_o the_o first_o of_o they_o that_o occur_v be_v the_o surplice_n concern_v which_o my_o nonconformist_n friend_n say_v that_o if_o they_o use_v it_o as_o enjoin_v by_o the_o liturgy_n they_o must_v receive_v it_o as_o a_o vestment_n apt_a by_o some_o notable_a signification_n it_o have_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o dull_a mind_n now_o that_o i_o may_v satisfy_v their_o scruple_n i_o have_v go_v to_o some_o conformist_n and_o inquire_v of_o they_o whether_o ever_o they_o experiment_v any_o such_o aptness_n in_o it_o to_o stir_v up_o their_o dull_a mind_n they_o must_v of_o they_o wonder_v at_o my_o question_n tell_v i_o that_o by_o assent_v and_o consent_v they_o mean_v no_o more_o but_o only_o to_o promise_v that_o they_o will_v not_o open_o contradict_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o liturgy_n you_o may_v easy_o imagine_v what_o motion_n this_o reply_n stir_v up_o in_o my_o dull_a mind_n only_o one_o answer_v that_o though_o he_o will_v not_o boast_v of_o his_o own_o experience_n yet_o he_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o holy_a vestment_n have_v a_o fitness_n in_o it_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o dull_a mind_n but_o i_o ask_v he_o further_o whether_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o stir_v he_o up_o as_o a_o man_n or_o as_o a_o english_a man_n he_o give_v i_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v press_v further_a i_o comfort_v myself_o however_o in_o this_o that_o mr._n durell_n will_v tell_v i_o some_o story_n of_o some_o great_a liveliness_n put_v into_o man_n by_o the_o wear_n of_o the_o white_a

wear_v surplice_n this_o be_v but_o cold_a kindness_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v in_o debt_n to_o he_o for_o it_o i_o give_v he_o to_o understand_v that_o no_o lutheran_n in_o the_o low_a country_n do_v wear_v surplice_n and_o they_o forbear_v to_o wear_v they_o not_o because_o the_o magistrate_n will_v not_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o wear_v they_o but_o because_o they_o want_v a_o will_v to_o wear_v they_o which_o make_v i_o think_v that_o they_o have_v no_o high_a opinion_n concern_v the_o usefulness_n of_o they_o nor_o can_v i_o think_v that_o our_o own_o minister_n have_v any_o huge_a apprehension_n of_o this_o exciting_a virtue_n of_o the_o surplice_n for_o whereas_o they_o be_v enjoin_v to_o wear_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o they_o officiate_v i_o find_v few_o of_o they_o so_o to_o do_v many_o of_o they_o never_o wear_v it_o but_o when_o a_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v administer_v perhaps_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o afford_v my_o nonconformist_n more_o help_n and_o assistance_n against_o his_o scruple_n about_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n his_o scruple_n be_v found_v upon_o this_o bottom_n that_o the_o cross_n be_v make_v asign_n of_o the_o child_n dedication_n to_o god_n and_o also_o a_o sign_n of_o his_o perseverance_n in_o grace_n and_o such_o a_o sign_n they_o say_v be_v sacramental_a which_o kind_n of_o sign_n the_o church_n have_v no_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o institute_v i_o have_v take_v some_o pain_n that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a from_o the_o writing_n of_o conformist_n to_o assoil_v this_o objection_n mr._n durell_n tell_v we_o serm._n pag._n 29._o that_o the_o cross_n be_v indeed_o a_o visible_a sign_n but_o there_o be_v no_o invisible_a grace_n answer_v to_o it_o and_o so_o no_o sacrament_n i_o can_v not_o acquiesce_v in_o this_o for_o i_o think_v dedication_n to_o god_n and_o perseverance_n be_v grace_n and_o if_o they_o be_v grace_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o be_v invisible_a grace_n i_o have_v also_o sometime_o wonder_v see_v baptism_n itself_o be_v institute_v as_o a_o dedicate_a sign_n and_o see_v by_o it_o we_o engage_v ourselves_o to_o perseverance_n and_o god_n also_o engage_v to_o give_v unto_o believer_n the_o grace_n of_o perseverance_n what_o may_v move_v our_o church_n to_o institute_v the_o cross_n as_o a_o new_a sign_n of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n especial_o see_v yet_o i_o never_o have_v the_o hap_n to_o meet_v with_o any_o who_o can_v from_o their_o experience_n aver_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n with_o which_o they_o be_v sign_v at_o baptism_n have_v add_v to_o they_o any_o degree_n of_o manfulness_n nor_o by_o compare_v several_a baptise_a person_n can_v i_o ever_o observe_v that_o person_n cross_v at_o baptism_n be_v less_o incline_v to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o christ_n crucify_a than_o those_o that_o be_v baptise_a not_o be_v cross_v indeed_o this_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n have_v minister_v more_o matter_n of_o scruple_n to_o the_o nonconformist_n than_o any_o other_o ceremony_n beside_o and_o therefore_o mr._n durell_n

when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v they_o a_o stand_a directory_n for_o prayer_n he_o enjoin_v they_o john_n 16._o to_o ask_v in_o his_o name_n assure_v they_o that_o prayer_n make_v in_o his_o name_n

the_o death_n resurrection_n and_o intercession_n of_o our_o bless_a mediator_n grant_v the_o doxology_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n as_o i_o be_o of_o a_o strong_a opinion_n it_o be_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o be_v be_v not_o so_o distinct_a and_o particular_a as_o some_o other_o in_o the_o epistle_n and_o revelation_n be_v which_o offer_n and_o ascribe_v praise_n and_o glory_n unto_o god_n by_o christ_n as_o eph._n 3.21_o or_o unto_o christ_n as_o 1_o timothy_n 6.16_o or_o to_o god_n and_o the_o lamb_n christ_n jesus_n as_o rev._n 5.13_o late_a doxology_n do_v make_v a_o

also_o of_o jew_n there_o be_v some_o that_o say_v our_o lord_n take_v this_o form_n of_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o jewish_a liturgy_n and_o one_o undertake_v to_o give_v we_o a_o account_n from_o

need_v a_o credulous_a reader_n who_o will_v not_o too_o strict_o inquire_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o asseveration_n most_o plain_a it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n make_v this_o prayer_n for_o his_o disciple_n while_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o before_o he_o have_v blot_v out_o the_o handwriting_n of_o ordinance_n or_o have_v send_v the_o spirit_n to_o lead_v

to_o be_v pray_v for_o in_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o we_o make_v and_o let_v man_n have_v a_o care_n how_o they_o adventure_v to_o conclude_v their_o own_o prayer_n thus_o we_o further_o pray_v unto_o thou_o in_o that_o very_a form_n of_o word_n which_o christ_n himself_o have_v teach_v we_o till_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o certain_a what_o form_n of_o word_n christ_n do_v use_v
