we_o to_o this_o or_o that_o gesture_n in_o his_o worship_n suppose_v it_o be_v but_o reverend_a that_o he_o have_v not_o determine_v circumstance_n this_o way_n or_o that_o but_o have_v leave_v they_o to_o humane_a prudence_n i_o will_v clear_v this_o by_o one_o instance_n as_o we_o both_o acknowledge_v prayer_n to_o be_v one_o especial_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n so_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o chief_a thing_n we_o be_v to_o request_v of_o god_n be_v pardon_v sanctification_n assistance_n against_o temptation_n and_o the_o like_a we_o both_o own_o that_o our_o petition_n be_v to_o be_v put_v up_o in_o and_o through_o the_o same_o mediator_n jesus_n christ_n we_o both_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fervent_a desire_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o the_o representation_n thereof_o to_o

be_v supply_v this_o be_v all_o that_o concern_v the_o essence_n of_o prayer_n and_o herein_o we_o be_v agree_v but_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o gesture_n suppose_v it_o be_v such_o as_o become_v dust_n and_o ash_n when_o they_o address_v themselves_o before_o the_o great_a king_n of_o king_n god_n have_v not_o determine_v whether_o it_o shall_v be_v kneel_v standing_z or_o lie_v prostrate_a

that_o time_n shall_v be_v employ_v therein_o which_o humane_a prudence_n determine_v as_o most_o convenient_a and_o the_o same_o be_v true_a in_o reference_n to_o word_n in_o prayer_n for_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v whether_o our_o desire_n shall_v be_v represent_v in_o word_n premeditate_v or_o in_o word_n immediate_o conceive_v neither_o of_o these_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o

when_o they_o demand_v where_o our_o common_a prayer_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o god_n word_n i_o will_v inquire_v where_o they_o find_v therein_o those_o particular_a prayer_n which_o they_o and_o their_o minister_n have_v pour_v out_o to_o god_n by_o a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o all_o this_o you_o may_v easy_o understand_v how_o great_a our_o agreement_n be_v and_o consequent_o that_o
