the_o gospel_n may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o private_a prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n but_o their_o prayer_n you_o say_v be_v deliver_v former_o with_o dark_a shadow_n and_o carnal_a ordinance_n for_o whilst_o the_o priest_n be_v offer_v the_o sacrifice_n the_o priest_n and_o levite_n in_o song_n with_o instrument_n of_o music_n deliver_v such_o prayer_n and_o psalm_n and_o praise_n as_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n therefore_o say_v you_o whatsoever_o sing_v have_v be_v or_o still_o may_v be_v in_o gospel-time_n may_v as_o well_o differ_v from_o the_o old-testament-temple-singing_a answ_n here_o you_o have_v wound_v yourself_o and_o not_o we_o in_o the_o least_o it_o appear_v your_o exception_n lie_v against_o our_o pray_v in_o gospel-time_n as_o much_o as_o against_o our_o sing_n from_o thence_o for_o we_o must_v not_o sing_v with_o unite_a voice_n with_o grace_n in_o our_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n or_o at_o leastwise_o the_o sing_n in_o such_o a_o form_n or_o manner_n under_o the_o law_n be_v no_o rule_n for_o we_o because_o they_o sing_v not_o only_o with_o their_o voice_n but_o have_v musical_a instrument_n also_o why_o now_o i_o reason_v thus_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v with_o our_o voice_n in_o gospel-day_n or_o at_o leastwise_o the_o saint_n so_o pray_v under_o the_o law_n can_v be_v no_o rule_n for_o we_o because_o they_o have_v dark_a shadow_n mix_v with_o their_o prayer_n as_o you_o affirm_v they_o have_v so_o that_o since_o we_o have_v the_o essence_n of_o both_o these_o duty_n in_o our_o spirit_n which_o god_n look_v more_o especial_o at_o and_o we_o be_v capable_a to_o worship_v he_o acceptable_o without_o the_o verbal_a and_o vocal_a instrument_n of_o our_o body_n book_n we_o must_v not_o with_o our_o tongue_n neither_o pray_v never_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n the_o one_o follow_v as_o natural_o from_o the_o premise_n as_o the_o other_o by_o which_o all_o may_v see_v the_o consequence_n of_o your_o argument_n against_o sing_v alas_o the_o true_a
