and_o enjoin_v the_o use_n of_o they_o have_v not_o he_o high_a conceit_n of_o himself_o much_o of_o confidence_n and_o will_n in_o his_o worship_n and_o little_a of_o modesty_n that_o think_v

in_o it_o if_o you_o shall_v use_v the_o confession_n with_o true_a repentance_n for_o sin_n the_o petition_n with_o sincere_a desire_n for_o those_o good_a thing_n they_o mention_v and_o the_o thanks_o giving_n with_o love_n and_o praise_n to_o god_n in_o your_o soul_n this_o will_v not_o be_v more_o please_v to_o god_n than_o turn_v your_o back_n upon_o it_o and_o scoff_v at_o it_o n._n c._n but_o they_o be_v such_o cold_a and_o formal_a prayer_n that_o i_o can_v lift_v up_o my_o heart_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o c._n sure_o you_o be_v high_o mistake_v to_o think_v that_o good_a prayer_n can_v be_v formal_a or_o make_v you_o cold_a and_o dead_a in_o pray_v they_o 1._o to_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n be_v lawful_a and_o good_a else_o why_o will_v our_o saviour_n have_v leave_v we_o a_o form_n why_o do_v we_o use_v psalm_n do_v you_o not_o use_v a_o form_n for_o a_o grace_n at_o meal_n be_v not_o extempore_o prayer_n form_n to_o the_o hearer_n for_o the_o hearer_n must_v no_o more_o vary_v from_o they_o lest_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o wander_a thought_n than_o we_o from_o the_o common-prayer_n and_o some_o must_v use_v a_o form_n in_o their_o family_n or_o not_o pray_v at_o all_o they_o have_v not_o good_a and_o ready_a invention_n 2._o i_o always_o think_v evil_a formality_n in_o prayer_n consist_v not_o in_o a_o form_n of_o word_n but_o in_o a_o lazy_a formal_a temper_n of_o mind_n so_o the_o it_o if_o you_o be_v not_o serious_a in_o use_v common_a or_o other_o prayer_n it_o be_v you_o that_o be_v formal_a and_o not_o the_o prayer_n 3._o beside_o i_o find_v and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o those_o word_n who_o form_n and_o emphasis_n i_o have_v consider_v of_o and_o apprehend_v before_o shall_v at_o the_o use_n of_o they_o most_o ready_o when_o i_o have_v not_o time_n to_o meditate_v and_o most_o powerful_o affect_v my_o heart_n by_o the_o way_n of_o my_o judgement_n and_o that_o extempore_o invention_n do_v most_o

affectionate_a use_v of_o new_a word_n every_o time_n we_o pray_v be_v pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o certain_o to_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o exercise_v charity_n humility_n faith_n repentance_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o our_o heart_n in_o prayer_n and_o see_v word_n be_v but_o to_o express_v our_o mind_n and_o that_o those_o grace_n in_o out_o heart_n may_v be_v express_v by_o a_o form_n of_o word_n i_o see_v not_o why_o he_o that_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n may_v not_o at_o least_o as_o well_o pray_v by_o or_o wish_v the_o spirit_n as_o other_o n._n c._n true_o friend_n i_o find_v i_o can_v twice_o a_o day_n invent_v a_o new_a form_n fit_a to_o be_v pray_v in_o my_o family_n and_o therefore_o do_v most_o usual_o use_v a_o form_n of_o word_n which_o i_o see_v my_o child_n and_o servant_n better_o understand_v than_o extemporary_a prayer_n but_o that_o which_o make_v some_o of_o the_o nonconformist_n think_v common-prayer_n unlawful_a be_v the_o imposition_n of_o it_o c._n though_o i_o think_v out_o governor_n may_v impose_v lawful_a thing_n yet_o it_o not_o much_o concern_v we_o to_o dispute_v that_o but_o whether_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v they_o or_o not_o and_o for_o this_o i_o will_v fain_o understand_v how_o that_o which_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v before_o impose_v shall_v by_o be_v impose_v become_v unlawful_a or_o when_o be_v we_o more_o bind_v to_o obey_v magistrate_n than_o when_o they_o command_v lawful_a thing_n see_v their_o command_n which_o be_v about_o lawful_a thing_n take_v away_o only_a the_o liberty_n of_o our_o action_n but_o not_o the_o liberty_n of_o our_o conscience_n which_o be_v proper_o christian_a liberty_n the_o former_a be_v a_o due_a to_o our_o lawful_a superior_n the_o latter_a only_o a_o tribute_n to_o god_n therefore_o the_o french_a protestant_a church_n and_o the_o dutch_a and_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n have_v form_n which_o they_o use_v in_o public_a n._n c._n but_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o the_o common-prayer_n that_o be_v unlawful_a and_o you_o have_v no_o scripture_n for_o they_o c._n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v the_o ceremony_n surplice_n cross_n and_o kneel_v which_o have_v be_v enough_o dispute_v by_o other_o all_o that_o i_o will_v answer_v to_o you_o be_v that_o i_o must_v confess_v there_o be_v no_o express_a scripture_n for_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o do_v count_v they_o unlawful_a n._n c._n no_o why_o i_o pray_v be_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o we_o have_v not_o scripture_n for_o c._n yes_o for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n for_o they_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o against_o they_o and_o nothing_o be_v sin_n but_o what_o be_v forbid_v and_o if_o you_o account_v they_o unlawful_a when_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n against_o they_o you_o be_v righteous_a overmuch_o and_o add_v to_o god_n word_n n._n c._n say_v you_o so_o i_o do_v remember_v any_o plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n against_o they_o but_o will_v think_v on_o one_o against_o the_o next_o time_n we_o meet_v c._n do_v i_o pray_v and_o think_v how_o small_a a_o condescension_n these_o will_v be_v in_o you_o over_o the_o thing_n strangle_v and_o blood_n enjoin_v to_o be_v forbear_v act_v 15._o 29._o and_o st._n paul_n cause_v timothy_n to_o be_v

this_o enough_o to_o induce_v you_o and_o i_o to_o do_v so_o too_o c._n i_o pray_v ask_v your_o minister_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o other_o government_n in_o the_o church_n than_o bishop_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n till_o mr._n calvin_n who_o live_v about_o a_o hundred_o year_n ago_o i_o know_v you_o quarrel_n at_o our_o bishop_n greatness_n but_o that_o alter_v not_o their_o office_n

i_o do_v believe_v that_o many_o that_o be_v against_o they_o be_v true_o godly_a but_o i_o do_v not_o count_v it_o any_o part_n of_o their_o piety_n but_o their_o great_a mistake_n and_o when_o i_o
