can_v no_o way_n approve_v this_o chap_a and_o mince_v of_o prayer_n between_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o people_n for_o this_o make_v they_o to_o be_v like_a charm_n than_o christian_n prayer_n

e._n d._n pray_v sir_n tell_v i_o plain_o what_o it_o be_v he_o say_v f._n p._n since_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o that_o he_o be_v so_o kind_a and_o charitable_a as_o to_o imply_v in_o one_o of_o his_o sermon_n that_o our_o cathedral_n be_v the_o devil_n chapel_n these_o be_v his_o word_n god_n have_v no_o church_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o chapel_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v a_o cathedral_n a_o sublime_a and_o worthy_a sentence_n full_a of_o christian_a love_n and_o charity_n and_o well_o become_v such_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o we_o join_v your_o aphorism_n to_o he_o we_o may_v challenge_v the_o world_n to_o show_v we_o any_o thing_n like_o it_o for_o so_o it_o will_v make_v out_o this_o favourable_a judgement_n of_o our_o church_n god_n have_v no_o church_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o chapel_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v a_o cathedral_n and_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v use_v there_o be_v like_a charm_n than_o

you_o have_v a_o grudge_n or_o secret_a hatred_n against_o he_o f._n p._n i_o can_v assure_v you_o it_o be_v far_o from_o that_o for_o i_o be_o so_o free_a from_o bear_v any_o ill-will_n towards_o he_o that_o i_o can_v safe_o desire_v all_o the_o harm_n i_o wish_v he_o may_v fall_v upon_o myself_o and_o i_o sincere_o protest_v that_o the_o only_a motive_n which_o make_v i_o reflect_v upon_o some_o of_o his_o abusive_a expression_n be_v the_o love_n i_o have_v for_o that_o church_n which_o he_o be_v so_o eager_o bend_v to_o expose_v and_o vilify_v and_o indeed_o who_o can_v see_v his_o

give_v you_o a_o occasion_n to_o reflect_v upon_o our_o minister_n or_o myself_o f._n p._n i_o can_v wish_v it_o be_v in_o your_o power_n to_o use_v that_o moderation_n though_o in_o do_v it_o you_o will_v do_v no_o more_o than_o what_o i_o have_v already_o several_a time_n beg_v of_o you_o and_o have_v you_o but_o comply_v with_o my_o reiterated_a desire_n you_o will_v have_v spare_v i_o the_o

you_o i_o shall_v propound_v my_o objection_n in_o other_o term_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o i_o can_v approve_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v answer_v the_o minister_n and_o by_o turn_n repeat_v some_o part_n of_o the_o public_a prayer_n for_o though_o i_o know_v it_o be_v allow_v among_o the_o jew_n to_o sing_v by_o turn_n answer_v one_o another_o yet_o i_o can_v find_v that_o the_o same_o order_n be_v ever_o approve_v of_o among_o christian_n f._n p._n after_o thanks_o return_v for_o your_o kindness_n to_o i_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o your_o objection_n be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v for_o you_o that_o it_o make_v against_o you_o for_o as_o i_o perceive_v you_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o order_n the_o jew_n observe_v in_o their_o public_a worship_n because_o if_o so_o you_o will_v never_o have_v produce_v this_o argument_n to_o condemn_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o sing_v by_o turn_n and_o answer_v one_o another_o but_o you_o never_o observe_v that_o this_o be_v a_o privilege_n grant_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n only_o now_o this_o argument_n of_o you_o plain_o justify_v the_o order_n of_o our_o church_n for_o if_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n under_o the_o old_a law_n have_v the_o prerogative_n of_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o offer_v up_o the_o public_a prayer_n and_o praise_n none_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o christian_n both_o minister_n and_o people_n have_v the_o same_o if_o not_o a_o great_a privilege_n forasmuch_o as_o every_o true_a christian_a be_v a_o priest_n and_o that_o of_o a_o high_a order_n than_o those_o under_o the_o old_a law_n for_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v st._n peter_n 1_o ep._n chap._n 2._o vers_fw-la 9_o we_o be_v a_o

take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n or_o privilege_n for_o christian_n to_o have_v leave_n to_o answer_v their_o minister_n and_o to_o have_v a_o share_n with_o they_o in_o repeat_v the_o public_a prayer_n f._n p._n i_o do_v so_o and_o have_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o too_o e._n d._n i_o know_v well_o that_o you_o churchman_n both_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v very_o ambitious_a of_o honour_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n we_o must_v look_v for_o especial_o in_o our_o prayer_n but_o rather_o edification_n and_o benefit_n now_o what_o benefit_n can_v you_o propound_v to_o yourself_o from_o this_o answer_n of_o your_o minister_n and_o pronounce_v some_o part_n of_o the_o public_a prayer_n f._n p._n the_o benefit_n which_o thereby_o accrue_v to_o we_o be_v very_o considerable_a for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o do_v not_o only_o express_v our_o full_a consent_n to_o all_o the_o minister_n prayer_n without_o which_o we_o can_v reasonable_o expect_v any_o advantage_n from_o they_o but_o beside_o by_o this_o method_n of_o our_o church_n we_o captivate_v the_o people_n attention_n restrain_v their_o vain_a and_o ramble_a thought_n and_o oblige_v they_o to_o be_v attentive_a to_o what_o the_o minister_n say_v that_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o return_v the_o proper_a responsal_n whereas_o when_o the_o people_n bear_v no_o share_n in_o the_o divine_a service_n and_o have_v no_o part_n to_o act_v in_o it_o they_o be_v more_o at_o leisure_n to_o entertain_v vain_a and_o frivolous_a fancy_n and_o too_o too_o often_o profane_a and_o lascivious_a thought_n come_v in_o flock_n to_o devour_v their_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o tell_v you_o my_o mind_n plain_o i_o take_v it_o that_o the_o neglect_n of_o these_o responsal_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o so_o much_o inadvertency_n lazy_a posture_n and_o drowziness_n as_o now_o common_o discover_v themselves_o in_o those_o who_o frequent_a the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o appear_v in_o his_o presence_n who_o the_o holy_a angel_n adore_v with_o veil_a face_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o a_o discouragement_n to_o the_o minister_n so_o it_o be_v of_o great_a prejudice_n to_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o to_o put_v the_o question_n to_o yourself_o you_o can_v deny_v i_o but_o that_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o most_o engage_v our_o attention_n be_v the_o best_a and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o any_o other_o and_o it_o be_v evident_a beyond_o dispute_n that_o that_o way_n of_o pray_v where_o the_o people_n bear_v a_o part_n and_o answer_v in_o their_o course_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a to_o make_v they_o attentive_a and_o heedful_a to_o the_o work_n they_o be_v about_o and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_v how_o commendable_a the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n be_v in_o this_o regard_n e._n d._n we_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o have_v a_o further_a opportunity_n of_o speak_v to_o this_o particular_a
