meet_v to_o worship_n god_n there_o be_v seldom_o any_o in_o the_o congregation_n that_o know_v what_o be_v say_v there_o except_o the_o priest_n that_o read_v it_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n for_o it_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o for_o we_o be_v true_o common_a prayer_n for_o it_o be_v write_v and_o read_v in_o that_o language_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o congregation_n in_o the_o kingdom_n so_o that_o no_o man_n that_o frequent_v our_o public_a congregation_n where_o the_o common_a prayer_n be_v use_v can_v ever_o plead_v ignorance_n of_o any_o one_o duty_n whatsoever_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o fault_n he_o may_v there_o be_v instruct_v in_o every_o thing_n which_o he_o that_o make_v he_o require_v of_o he_o and_o see_v it_o have_v please_v the_o most_o high_a god_n to_o comprise_v his_o whole_a will_n and_o by_o consequence_n our_o duty_n in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n hence_o we_o read_v they_o constant_o every_o sunday_n and_o holy_a day_n throughout_o the_o whole_a year_n by_o which_o mean_v every_o one_o that_o do_v not_o wilful_o shut_v his_o eye_n may_v clear_o fee_n and_o full_o understand_v his_o whole_a duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n especial_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o prayer_n themselves_o also_o there_o be_v frequent_a mention_n make_v of_o all_o those_o vice_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o all_o those_o good_a work_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o so_o that_o we_o can_v never_o come_v to_o church_n but_o we_o be_v still_o put_v in_o mind_n both_o of_o what_o we_o ought_v and_o what_o we_o ought_v not_o not_o to_o do_v that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v whereas_o if_o all_o and_o every_o person_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v always_o be_v upon_o their_o knee_n while_o they_o put_v up_o their_o petition_n to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n what_o a_o mighty_a advantage_n will_v this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a but_o to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n in_o general_n for_o as_o every_o one_o will_v by_o this_o mean_n keep_v his_o heart_n more_o steadfast_a in_o the_o true_a fear_n and_o dread_n of_o god_n and_o likewise_o more_o certain_o obtain_v the_o good_a thing_n he_o pray_v for_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v excite_v and_o inflame_v each_o other_o devotion_n confirm_v and_o strengthen_v one_o another_o faith_n and_o convince_v both_o ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o see_v we_o that_o religion_n be_v a_o serious_a thing_n and_o that_o we_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v so_o by_o our_o serve_a god_n with_o so_o much_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n as_o this_o humble_a posture_n represent_v for_o it_o be_v lamentable_a to_o think_v what_o absurd_a thing_n be_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n for_o i_o have_v see_v some_o people_n sit_v in_o the_o time_n of_o common_a prayer_n if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v we_o be_v in_o that_o holy_a place_n where_o god_n majesty_n be_v represent_v and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o shall_v judge_v we_o all_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o therefore_o as_o you_o tender_v the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o credit_n of_o religion_n or_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n i_o beseech_v you_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o he_o that_o make_v you_o that_o whensoever_o you_o come_v hither_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o you_o do_v it_o in_o that_o awful_a lowly_a and_o solemn_a manner_n which_o our_o church_n command_v and_o as_o become_v creature_n when_o you_o speak_v to_o your_o great_a and_o almighty_a creator_n that_o so_o you_o may_v give_v true_a worship_n and_o honour_n unto_o he_o and_o also_o receive_v that_o benefit_n and_o edification_n of_o yourselves_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o you_o expect_v from_o public_a prayer_n this_o be_v certain_o the_o most_o edify_a posture_n that_o you_o can_v possible_o use_v upon_o such_o occasion_n therefore_o great_a blessing_n do_v we_o lose_v by_o neglect_v to_o come_v to_o the_o public_a prayer_n of_o the_o church_n on_o the_o week_n day_n when_o we_o have_v so_o great_a opportunity_n and_o our_o church_n so_o near_o we_o and_o prayer_n morning_n and_o
