never_o have_v produce_v this_o argument_n to_o condemn_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o sing_v by_o turn_n and_o answer_v

the_o thing_n we_o must_v look_v for_o especial_o in_o our_o prayer_n but_o rather_o edification_n and_o benefit_n now_o what_o benefit_n can_v you_o propound_v to_o yourself_o from_o this_o answer_n of_o your_o minister_n and_o pronounce_v some_o part_n of_o the_o public_a prayer_n f._n p._n the_o benefit_n which_o thereby_o accrue_v to_o we_o be_v very_o considerable_a for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o do_v not_o only_o express_v our_o full_a consent_n to_o all_o the_o minister_n prayer_n without_o which_o we_o can_v reasonable_o expect_v any_o advantage_n from_o they_o but_o beside_o by_o this_o method_n of_o our_o church_n we_o captivate_v the_o people_n attention_n restrain_v their_o vain_a and_o ramble_a thought_n and_o oblige_v they_o to_o be_v attentive_a to_o what_o the_o minister_n say_v that_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o return_v the_o proper_a responsal_n whereas_o when_o the_o people_n bear_v no_o share_n in_o the_o divine_a service_n and_o have_v no_o part_n to_o act_v in_o it_o they_o be_v more_o at_o leisure_n to_o entertain_v vain_a and_o frivolous_a fancy_n and_o too_o too_o often_o profane_a and_o lascivious_a thought_n come_v in_o flock_n to_o devour_v their_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o tell_v you_o my_o mind_n plain_o i_o take_v it_o that_o the_o neglect_n of_o these_o responsal_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o so_o much_o inadvertency_n lazy_a posture_n and_o drowziness_n as_o now_o common_o discover_v themselves_o in_o those_o who_o frequent_a the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o appear_v in_o his_o presence_n who_o the_o holy_a angel_n adore_v with_o veil_a face_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o a_o discouragement_n to_o the_o minister_n so_o it_o be_v of_o great_a prejudice_n to_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o to_o put_v the_o question_n to_o yourself_o you_o can_v deny_v i_o but_o that_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o most_o engage_v our_o attention_n be_v the_o best_a and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o any_o other_o and_o it_o be_v evident_a beyond_o dispute_n that_o that_o way_n of_o pray_v where_o the_o people_n bear_v a_o part_n and_o answer_v in_o their_o course_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a to_o make_v they_o attentive_a and_o heedful_a to_o the_o work_n they_o be_v about_o and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_v how_o commendable_a the_o practice_n of_o our_o
