the_o vulgar_a most_o of_o their_o prayer_n be_v present_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o to_o other_o saint_n and_o angel_n all_o our_o prayer_n be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n through_o the_o

how_o few_o and_o significant_a one_o those_o sacrament_n be_v celebrate_v by_o we_o all_o which_o make_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o common_a prayer_n and_o mass_n book_n any_o one_o will_v easy_o find_v that_o have_v leisure_n and_o opportunity_n to_o compare_v they_o both_o together_o 4_o how_o do_v j._n bunyan_n know_v that_o st._n paul_n never_o compose_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n the_o sound_a word_n he_o command_v timothy_n to_o hold_v fast_o 2_o tim._n 1.13_o might_n for_o aught_o he_o can_v prove_v to_o the_o contrary_a be_v such_o a_o form_n himself_o allow_v the_o form_n of_o godliness_n which_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v of_o 2_o tim._n 3.5_o to_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o be_v there_o not_o as_o good_a reason_n that_o this_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n shall_v likewise_o regard_v prayer_n and_o if_o it_o do_v we_o may_v thence_o infer_v that_o st._n paul_n make_v such_o a_o form_n for_o the_o church_n and_o command_v timothy_n to_o hold_v fast_o the_o same_o by_o use_v it_o therein_o however_o this_o be_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a st._n paul_n use_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n himself_o even_o that_o of_o christ_n own_o compose_v luke_n 11.2_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o teach_v other_o to_o use_v it_o also_o or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o have_v keep_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n neither_o will_v he_o have_v declare_v unto_o his_o people_n the_o whole_a council_n of_o god_n as_o he_o protest_v he_o have_v do_v act_v 20.27_o and_o chap._n 24.16_o and_o if_o st._n paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n use_v no_o other_o form_n of_o prayer_n it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v assist_v by_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o have_v miraculous_a gift_n bestow_v upon_o they_o such_o as_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n of_o prophecy_n of_o heal_v etc._n etc._n and_o so_o do_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o let_v john_n bunyan_n and_o his_o party_n prove_v they_o have_v the_o like_a wonderful_a gift_n and_o can_v work_v the_o like_a stupendous_a miracle_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v dispense_v with_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n but_o if_o none_o of_o those_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o miracle_n can_v be_v true_o pretend_v to_o by_o they_o than_o i_o think_v they_o need_v the_o help_n of_o such_o a_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n since_o those_o miracle_n cease_v and_o therefore_o do_v she_o at_o first_o establish_v liturgy_n and_o have_v always_o use_v they_o if_o not_o in_o at_o least_o ever_o since_o the_o apostle_n day_n page_n 31_o our_o author_n be_v very_o witty_a and_o say_v but_o here_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o our_o day_n be_v so_o well_o skilled_a as_o that_o
