for_o what_o you_o please_v as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v concern_v myself_o about_o they_o and_o therefore_o you_o may_v go_v on_o f._n p._n in_o the_o morning_n service_n the_o psalm_n be_v

month._n e._n d._n pray_v tell_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v often_o than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o holy_a scripture_n f._n p._n because_o they_o be_v most_o accommodate_v for_o prayer_n and_o devotion_n and_o consequent_o of_o a_o more_o continual_a use_n than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o god_n word_n the_o ignorant_a will_v find_v here_o profitable_a instruction_n and_o information_n the_o wicked_a earnest_a exhortation_n and_o severe_a warning_n the_o poor_a and_o afflict_a will_v meet_v with_o suitable_a prayer_n and_o petition_n to_o beg_v the_o good_a thing_n they_o want_v as_o well_o as_o to_o deprecate_v the_o evil_n they_o groan_v under_o and_o the_o rich_a and_o prosperous_a will_v be_v furnish_v with_o thanksgiving_n and_o

e._n d._n i_o must_v own_v there_o be_v somewhat_o of_o truth_n in_o what_o you_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o psalm_n but_o one_o thing_n i_o find_v that_o spoil_v all_o which_o be_v your_o silly_a way_n of_o read_v they_o by_o turn_n the_o minister_n read_v one_o verse_n and_o the_o people_n answer_v another_o which_o certain_o be_v a_o confuse_a if_o not_o a_o scandalous_a way_n of_o praise_v god_n f._n p._n what_o you_o be_v please_v to_o call_v confuse_v and_o scandalous_a be_v in_o my_o opinion_n very_o edify_v and_o heavenly_a and_o my_o opinion_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n for_o this_o way_n of_o read_v or_o sing_v psalm_n by_o turn_n as_o have_v be_v partly_o already_o hint_v be_v extreme_o well_o suit_v to_o excite_v each_o other_o affection_n and_o to_o increase_v our_o emulation_n make_v we_o as_o it_o be_v to_o strive_v to_o outvie_v each_o other_o in_o zeal_n and_o devotion_n and_o to_o contend_v who_o shall_v worship_v and_o praise_n god_n with_o most_o earnestness_n and_o fervency_n now_o this_o holy_a emulation_n can_v but_o be_v very_o profitable_a and_o edify_a yea_o and_o heavenly_a too_o because_o it_o come_v near_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o heavenly_a and_o angelical_a adoration_n for_o thus_o we_o read_v that_o the_o seraphim_n cry_v to_o each_o other_o by_o turn_n holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n of_o host_n etc._n etc._n isai_n 6.3_o e._n d._n well_o but_o i_o have_v another_o objection_n against_o your_o way_n of_o read_v the_o psalm_n and_o that_o be_v that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o you_o repeat_v the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la glory_n be_v to_o the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o son_n etc._n etc._n which_o certain_o be_v a_o very_a vain_a repetition_n f._n p._n i_o be_o not_o of_o your_o opinion_n for_o if_o you_o observe_v this_o doxology_n be_v not_o apply_v twice_o to_o the_o same_o subject_n for_o though_o we_o repeat_v it_o constant_o at_o the_o close_n of_o every_o psalm_n yet_o because_o they_o most_o common_o differ_v and_o vary_v in_o their_o subject_n for_o you_o will_v hardly_o find_v two_o psalm_n together_o of_o the_o same_o argument_n some_o be_v psalm_n of_o doctrine_n and_o instruction_n some_o of_o confession_n of_o sin_n some_o of_o profession_n of_o faith_n some_o of_o supplication_n and_o prayer_n some_o of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o every_o one_o of_o these_o argument_n contain_v sufficient_a and_o powerful_a motive_n to_o stir_v up_o our_o heart_n and_o affection_n to_o bless_v and_o glorify_v god_n therefore_o the_o close_n of_o every_o psalm_n with_o this_o doxology_n glory_n be_v to_o the_o father_n &c._n &c._n can_v be_v judge_v vain_a and_o improper_a but_o rather_o very_o proper_a and_o edify_a after_o the_o read_n or_o sing_v of_o the_o psalm_n we_o proceed_v to_o read_v the_o lesson_n the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o other_o out_o of_o the_o new_a which_o order_n afford_v this_o great_a conveniency_n among_o several_a other_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o old_a testament_n be_v read_v over_o once_o and_o the_o new_a testament_n thrice_o every_o year_n e._n d._n this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n of_o you_o whether_o wilful_a or_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o inquire_v for_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n be_v never_o read_v as_o well_o as_o many_o particular_a chapter_n of_o some_o other_o book_n f._n p._n i_o confess_v the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n be_v not_o read_v but_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a because_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v but_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o book_n of_o king_n which_o be_v read_v in_o their_o course_n and_o if_o any_o chapter_n of_o other_o book_n be_v

and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v away_o because_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o have_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n impose_v upon_o the_o church_n f._n p._n either_o you_o or_o i_o sir_n be_v strange_o mistake_v in_o this_o point_n for_o i_o must_v own_v that_o my_o judgement_n always_o have_v be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o have_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o church_n but_o what_o be_v more_o that_o no_o church_n can_v well_o be_v without_o one_o e._n d._n pray_v how_o so_o sir_n for_o if_o i_o be_v not_o great_o mistake_v you_o speak_v now_o against_o the_o general_n sense_n of_o the_o french_a protestant_n for_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o they_o have_v any_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n f._n p._n i_o perceive_v sir_n you_o have_v be_v ill_o inform_v concern_v these_o matter_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o french_a protestant_n have_v a_o common-prayer-book_n which_o be_v compose_v by_o calvin_n himself_o and_o therein_o we_o agree_v with_o the_o concur_v practice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n for_o i_o never_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n but_o have_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n so_o that_o for_o you_o to_o oppose_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o to_o deny_v the_o authority_n testimony_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n both_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o the_o express_a command_n of_o our_o saviour_n himself_o and_o in_o a_o word_n sir_n you_o condemn_v the_o general_a sense_n and_o practice_v of_o christianity_n and_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n e._n d._n i_o hear_v what_o you_o say_v sir_n and_o expect_v you_o shall_v prove_v it_o f._n p._n nay_o more_o than_o this_o you_o contradict_v the_o example_n of_o our_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n the_o founder_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n e._n d._n this_o be_v a_o high_a charge_n indeed_o but_o pray_v be_v please_v to_o make_v it_o out_o f._n p._n that_o i_o will_v sir_n first_o i_o say_v that_o you_o contradict_v the_o authority_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o have_v a_o particular_a command_n so_o to_o do_v to_o be_v convince_v of_o this_o be_v please_v to_o read_v the_o 26_o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n from_o verse_n 13._o to_o 16._o and_o the_o 14_o chapter_n of_o hosea_n begin_v at_o the_o second_o verse_n take_v with_o you_o word_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o 2d_o of_o joel_n verse_n 17._o let_v the_o priest_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o lord_n weep_v between_o the_o porch_n and_o the_o altar_n and_o let_v they_o say_v spare_v thy_o people_n o_o lord_n etc._n etc._n second_o you_o contradict_v the_o command_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n which_o i_o prove_v from_o the_o 11_o chapter_n of_o st._n luke_n the_o one_a and_o 2d_o verse_n where_o we_o read_v that_o one_o of_o our_o saviour_n disciple_n ask_v he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o his_o companion_n to_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v as_o john_n have_v teach_v his_o disciple_n whereupon_o our_o saviour_n address_v himself_o to_o all_o his_o disciple_n say_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o i_o infer_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n prescribe_v they_o by_o christ_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o order_v any_o form_n in_o more_o plain_a and_o express_v term_n than_o our_o saviour_n make_v use_v of_o in_o recommend_v this_o prayer_n to_o his_o disciple_n second_o i_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o disciple_n make_v use_v of_o this_o form_n which_o will_v not_o be_v question_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a desire_n they_o show_v to_o obtain_v this_o form_n of_o prayer_n from_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o readiness_n wherewith_o they_o always_o obey_v the_o command_n he_o lay_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o this_o can_v but_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o any_o think_v man_n that_o when_o they_o pray_v they_o make_v use_v of_o this_o form_n or_o prescription_n their_o bless_a lord_n and_o master_n have_v at_o their_o request_n give_v they_o with_o this_o express_a command_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n 3._o you_o oppose_v the_o general_n practice_n of_o christendom_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n because_o neither_o yourself_o nor_o any_o man_n else_o can_v give_v a_o instance_n of_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o these_o our_o day_n but_o what_o have_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n for_o though_o all_o have_v not_o use_v the_o same_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o church_n but_o have_v use_v some_o form_n or_o other_o 4._o you_o condemn_v the_o example_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o dear_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o himself_o make_v use_v of_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n matt._n 26._o v._n 44._o e._n d._n i_o will_v not_o undertake_v now_o to_o return_v you_o a_o particular_a answer_n to_o what_o you_o have_v here_o allege_v but_o shall_v only_o say_v that_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n have_v by_o experience_n be_v find_v a_o hindrance_n and_o obstacle_n to_o true_a fervent_a prayer_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v so_o dull_a and_o ignorant_a in_o this_o point_n and_o so_o little_o acquaint_v with_o spiritual_a prayer_n f._n p._n i_o be_o not_o a_o little_a surprise_v at_o this_o your_o answer_n for_o have_v but_o just_a now_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o christ_n himself_o make_v use_v of_o form_n of_o prayer_n you_o after_o all_o this_o come_v and_o tell_v i_o that_o pray_v by_o form_n be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o neither_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n the_o catholic_n church_n nor_o christ_n himself_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o make_v use_v of_o a_o set_a form_n which_o be_v a_o near_a step_n to_o blasphemy_n e._n d._n i_o do_v not_o design_n to_o say_v so_o much_o neither_o though_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o pray_v by_o a_o set_a form_n seem_v to_o i_o for_o i_o find_v it_o so_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v a_o great_a obstacle_n to_o true_a spiritual_a prayer_n f._n p._n though_o it_o may_v seem_v so_o to_o you_o yet_o your_o charity_n shall_v lead_v you_o rather_o to_o question_v your_o own_o judgement_n than_o to_o pass_v so_o rash_a a_o censure_n upon_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n yea_o upon_o christ_n himself_o beside_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o wary_a of_o expose_v yourself_o to_o the_o derision_n of_o all_o man_n by_o suppose_v yourself_o wise_a than_o all_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n than_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n and_o christ_n himself_o since_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o form_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o our_o saviour_n himself_o prescribe_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o his_o disciple_n command_v they_o when_o they_o pray_v to_o use_v the_o same_o which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v have_v it_o indeed_o be_v so_o great_a a_o hindrance_n to_o servant_n prayer_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o you_o pretend_v e._n d._n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o hindrance_n to_o other_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v so_o to_o i_o f._n p._n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v understand_v you_o better_o if_o you_o please_v to_o explain_v to_o i_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n e._n d._n i_o suppose_v no_o true_a christian_n can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v and_o therefore_o i_o can_v see_v any_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o explain_v a_o thing_n so_o
