we_o have_v proper_a occasion_n for_o it_o both_o before_o and_o after_o this_o mystical_a feast_n and_o in_o that_o we_o do_v use_v a_o worship_a posture_n and_o as_o none_o that_o know_v our_o

little_o concern_v in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o poland_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o socinian_o if_o they_o think_v this_o rite_n of_o sit_v to_o be_v of_o ill_a

it_o have_v be_v abuse_v to_o the_o vile_a idolatry_n for_o his_o first_o answer_n that_o we_o be_v not_o require_v nor_o be_v it_o convenient_a to_o imitate_v all_o that_o christ_n do_v and_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n mention_n not_o this_o posture_n as_o any_o part_n of_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n concern_v this_o sacrament_n i_o need_v only_a reply_n that_o it_o be_v

feast_n on_o christ_n sacrifice_n with_o the_o religious_a feast_n on_o the_o jewish_a once_o 1_o cor._n 10.16_o 17_o 18_o etc._n etc._n in_o which_o this_o posture_n be_v so_o universal_o receive_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o express_v it_o for_o his_o second_o answer_n that_o he_o have_v prove_v religious_a eat_n be_v accompany_v with_o bodily_a worship_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n in_o a_o table_n posture_n from_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o receive_v it_o kneel_v etc._n etc._n p._n 123_o 124._o repl._n it_o appear_v sufficient_o from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o allege_v that_o the_o bp._n confound_v the_o worship_n pay_v when_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v with_o the_o posture_n use_v when_o they_o come_v to_o feast_v upon_o it_o and_o i_o have_v already_o produce_v he_o undeniable_a evidence_n that_o they_o celebrate_v their_o religious_a feast_n upon_o sacrifice_n sit_v or_o in_o the_o same_o posture_n as_o their_o other_o meal_n and_o never_o kneel_v or_o in_o a_o worship_a posture_n and_o consequent_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v receive_v it_o in_o a_o table-gesture_n we_o must_v receive_v it_o sit_v and_o not_o kneel_v for_o his_o three_o answer_n that_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o at_o a_o common_a supper_n when_o he_o institute_v this_o sacrament_n but_o at_o the_o passover_n which_o be_v a_o sacramental_a eat_n and_o have_v a_o peculiar_a posture_n prescribe_v for_o it_o 12_o exod._n 11._o and_o though_o some_o think_v but_o without_o warrant_n from_o scripture_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o observe_v this_o yet_o it_o be_v own_a they_o observe_v another_o which_o differ_v from_o the_o common_a posture_n of_o eat_v and_o be_v account_v religious_a however_o

as_o i_o shall_v observe_v anon_o do_v far_o more_o direct_o favour_n and_o countenance_v free_a prayer_n than_o this_o one_o instance_n do_v the_o use_n of_o form_n especial_o of_o form_n impose_v by_o other_o about_o which_o the_o main_a dispute_n lie_v and_o what_o he_o have_v here_o offer_v to_o confirm_v it_o signify_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n or_o if_o it_o do_v will_v prove_v too_o much_o for_o our_o saviour_n may_v teach_v man_n the_o way_n of_o free_a prayer_n without_o direct_v they_o to_o wait_v for_o the_o impulscs_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o immediate_a inspiration_n from_o god_n since_o none_o pretend_v to_o such_o impulse_n and_o immediate_a inspiration_n as_o necessary_a in_o order_n to_o it_o he_o himself_o own_v that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n we_o may_v depend_v on_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o pray_v extempore_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o i_o hope_v mean_v we_o may_v expect_v such_o immediate_a inspiration_n nay_o our_o saviour_n may_v advise_v we_o to_o free_a prayer_n without_o tell_v we_o we_o must_v speak_v what_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n or_o shall_v be_v give_v we_o in_o that_o hour_n without_o take_v think_v what_o we_o be_v to_o say_v for_o free_a prayer_n be_v so_o far_o from_o exclude_v serious_a premeditation_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v use_v it_o especial_o in_o public_a without_o it_o unless_o in_o case_n of_o absolute_a necessity_n nay_o if_o this_o reason_n signify_v any_o thing_n it_o will_v prove_v too_o much_o that_o we_o be_v never_o to_o pray_v extempore_o at_o all_o because_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n even_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o expect_v such_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o here_o i_o will_v once_o for_o all_o caution_n his_o lp._n against_o that_o common_a mistake_n he_o seem_v to_o run_v into_o as_o if_o we_o imagine_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o h._n spirit_n in_o prayer_n to_o lie_v in_o immediate_o dictate_v our_o word_n to_o we_o whereas_o we_o no_o more_o expect_v that_o in_o prayer_n than_o in_o preach_v for_o we_o suppose_v this_o gift_n of_o prayer_n to_o be_v a_o common_a gift_n and_o though_o we_o have_v know_v many_o private_a christian_n who_o natural_a part_n in_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v but_o weak_a and_o low_a endue_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n with_o a_o considerable_a measure_n of_o this_o gift_n as_o the_o fruit_n and_o reward_n of_o their_o diligence_n in_o this_o duty_n yet_o we_o doubt_v not_o that_o many_o natural_a endowment_n as_o readiness_n of_o apprehension_n copiousness_n of_o fancy_n tenderness_n of_o affection_n fluency_n of_o expression_n may_v contribute_v much_o to_o dispose_v a_o man_n for_o great_a eminency_n in_o it_o nor_o do_v we_o think_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o h._n spirit_n in_o this_o duty_n alter_v that_o style_n or_o way_n of_o expression_n that_o nature_n or_o custom_n have_v habituate_v man_n to_o so_o that_o the_o h._n spirit_n be_v no_o more_o accountable_a for_o the_o indecent_a expression_n of_o good_a man_n in_o prayer_n than_o in_o preach_v though_o we_o may_v expect_v his_o help_n both_o in_o our_o endeavour_n to_o acquire_v ability_n and_o gift_n for_o these_o duty_n and_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o '_o they_o but_o before_o i_o dismiss_v what_o he_o have_v say_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o prayer_n of_o our_o lord_n i_o shall_v subjoin_v the_o follow_a remark_n thereon_o 1._o if_o it_o shou●●_n b●_n grant_v that_o our_o saviour_n give_v this_o as_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o his_o disciple_n and_o intend_v it_o for_o the_o perpetual_a use_n of_o his_o church_n yet_o no_o more_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o thence_o than_o our_o obligation_n to_o use_v that_o particular_a 〈◊〉_d for_o if_o he_o have_v intend_v our_o ordinary_a use_n of_o other_o form_n it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v he_o will_v have_v prescribe_v they_o himself_o or_o commission_v his_o apostle_n to_o do_v so_o or_o instruct_v they_o to_o leave_v some_o order_n with_o

design_v for_o the_o perpetual_a use_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o for_o a_o temporary_a form_n to_o this_o purpose_n they_o observe_v that_o the_o three_o first_o petition_n hallow_a be_v thy_o

after_o the_o delivery_n of_o this_o form_n tell_v his_o disciple_n 16_o joh._n 24._o hitherto_o have_v you_o ask_v nothing_o in_o my_o name_n and_o therefore_o he_o require_v they_o now_o to_o ask_v
