ignorant_a as_o you_o represent_v they_o as_o not_o to_o be_v able_a by_o argument_n to_o to_o justify_v what_o you_o call_v their_o superstition_n and_o division_n from_o the_o establish_v church_n sur._n imp._n pref._n p._n 1._o i_o must_v again_o be_v torment_v with_o answer_v a_o wise_a question_n or_o else_o i_o shall_v disoblige_v you_o and_o forfeit_v the_o kind_a appellation_n you_o give_v i_o of_o good_a man._n friend_n what_o be_v this_o cramp_n question_n qu._n pray_o tell_v i_o this_o be_v mannerly_a what_o you_o call_v they_o that_o make_v god_n to_o be_v content_a with_o whatever_o come_v next_o their_o tongues-end_n lett._n p._n 15._o answ_n 1._o i_o answer_v if_o man_n swear_v and_o lie_v or_o engage_v themselves_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o unlawful_a thing_n or_o rash_o take_v a_o oath_n without_o any_o regard_n to_o the_o matter_n whether_o right_a or_o wrong_n or_o whether_o they_o know_v what_o it_o be_v or_o not_o yet_o rather_o than_o lose_v their_o preferment_n will_v say_v what_o come_v next_o tongues-end_n i_o will_v give_v you_o leave_v to_o name_v they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a one_o if_o i_o consent_v not_o but_o not_o to_o escape_v in_o the_o dark_a i_o will_v be_v open_a with_o you_o answ_n 2._o if_o in_o their_o prayer_n any_o make_v god_n content_a with_o whatever_o come_v next_o to_o their_o tongues-end_n and_o not_o from_o their_o heart_n i_o think_v with_o your_o leave_n they_o can_v make_v god_n content_a with_o they_o for_o he_o require_v truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n and_o if_o you_o will_v call_v they_o taker_n of_o god_n name_n in_o vain_a qu._n yet_o another_o question_n how_o i_o will_v call_v they_o that_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o compose_v a_o sober_a form_n of_o worship_n for_o god_n but_o too_o often_o foam_v out_o their_o own_o shame_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o entitle_v it_o to_o but_o will_v needs_o have_v god_n admit_v it_o for_o the_o groan_n of_o his_o spirit_n p._n 15._o answ_n 1._o if_o you_o mean_v by_o sober_a a_o grave_a and_o serious_a form_n of_o prayer_n if_o any_o person_n do_v compose_v a_o form_n in_o apt_a and_o pertinent_a intelligible_a word_n fit_a to_o express_v the_o lawful_a desire_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o raise_v their_o affection_n of_o hope_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n i_o will_v high_o commend_v they_o but_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o in_o love_n with_o their_o own_o prayer_n as_o to_o tie_v all_o other_o to_o their_o very_a word_n and_o none_o other_o especial_o if_o they_o mix_v with_o their_o form_n uncommand_v rite_n and_o ceremony_n under_o a_o pretence_n of_o decency_n i_o will_v say_v they_o be_v proud_a and_o conceit_a and_o assume_v a_o authority_n that_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o they_o answ_n 2._o i_o do_v never_o hear_v any_o such_o prayer_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o nor_o any_o affirm_v that_o what_o come_v next_o tongues-end_n or_o that_o foam_n out_o their_o shame_n and_o call_v they_o the_o groan_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o i_o doubt_v too_o many_o say_v and_o read_v their_o prayer_n only_o at_o their_o tongues-end_n that_o have_v no_o more_o to_o think_v of_o but_o how_o to_o turn-ove_a their_o book-leaves_a and_o read_v right_a answ_n 3._o if_o any_o minister_n in_o public_a conceive_v a_o prayer_n and_o speak_v it_o in_o apt_a word_n especial_o in_o scripture-word_n with_o humility_n and_o reverence_n and_o the_o matter_n be_v lawful_a and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n offer_v up_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n i_o will_v very_o hearty_o say_v amen_n to_o it_o and_o believe_v god_n will_v gracious_o accept_v it_o from_o a_o honest_a heart_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o minister_n shall_v be_v discourage_v from_o improve_n their_o gift_n either_o in_o compose_v or_o conceive_v such_o prayer_n as_o i_o think_v have_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n so_o much_o tend_v to_o edification_n and_o consolation_n and_o i_o suppose_v so_o esteem_v former_o by_o the_o most_o serious_a man_n of_o the_o c._n of_o e._n who_o till_o of_o late_a constant_o use_v they_o in_o the_o pulpit_n and_o some_o b_n put_v it_o into_o their_o article_n of_o enquiry_n at_o their_o visitation_n do_v you_o know_v of_o any_o parson_n vicar_n or_o curate_n that_o never_o pray_v before_o their_o sermon_n the_o restrain_v of_o which_o or_o discourage_v at_o least_o be_v think_v by_o some_o one_o occasion_n of_o so_o many_o raw_a divine_n weak_a and_o ignorant_a while_o they_o need_v no_o other_o qualification_n to_o perform_v their_o office_n than_o to_o be_v able_a to_o read_v well_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a work_n and_o for_o preach_v the_o read_n of_o homily_n and_o other_o man_n sermon_n recommend_v by_o a_o r._n r._n b._n to_o young_a one_o with_o a_o grace_n or_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o confidence_n as_o a_o dignitary_n use_v to_o pray_v in_o a_o compose_a form_n be_v sufficient_a though_o this_o be_v by_o other_o think_v a_o discouragement_n to_o industry_n and_o a_o occasion_n of_o sloth_n idleness_n and_o worse_o obj._n 4._o the_o four_o argument_n of_o dissenter_n be_v this_o leu._n p._n 13._o some_o of_o they_o think_v it_o no_o less_o than_o sacrilege_n to_o transfer_v the_o end_n of_o god_n sacrament_n to_o their_o own_o appointment_n for_o they_o think_v we_o be_v baptise_a in_o token_n hereafter_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a etc._n etc._n and_o that_o baptism_n be_v the_o honourable_a badge_n whereby_o the_o infant_n be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o he_o that_o die_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n what_o say_v you_o to_o this_o argument_n of_o dissenter_n answ_n 1._o you_o say_v that_o baptism_n be_v perfect_a without_o the_o cross_n can._n 30._o and_o you_o say_v true_a but_o they_o will_v reply_v repl._n 1_o they_o therefore_o think_v it_o unlawful_a for_o man_n to_o add_v something_o of_o their_o own_o to_o that_o which_o be_v well_o and_o perfect_a already_o according_a to_o divine_a appointment_n pray_v friend_n for_o once_o let_v i_o ask_v a_o question_n quest_n what_o be_v cross_v good_a for_o sol._n why_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o honourable_a badge_n whereby_o the_o infant_n be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o he_o that_o die_v on_o the_o cross_n repl._n 2._o this_o be_v another_o thing_n dissenter_n be_v offend_v at_o that_o the_o same_o honour_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o a_o aerial_a transient_a sign_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o man_n institution_n that_o belong_v to_o baptism_n a_o sacrament_n of_o god_n institution_n and_o they_o think_v it_o inexcusable_a presumption_n and_o arrogance_n to_o set_v a_o man_n badge_n cheek_n by_o chawl_n with_o christ_n badge_n answ_n 3._o you_o say_v the_o canon_n refer_v not_o to_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n more_o than_o baptism_n repl._n 3_o but_o the_o canon_n speak_v only_o of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n when_o it_o say_v it_o be_v a_o lawful_a outward_a ceremony_n and_o honourable_a badge_n etc._n etc._n dissenter_n have_v object_v these_o end_n of_o baptism_n shall_v not_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n the_o child_n be_v dedicate_v already_o by_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o need_v not_o shall_v not_o be_v dedicate_v by_o the_o cross_n answ_n 4._o to_o this_o you_o say_v i_o shall_v have_v give_v this_o malicious_a reflection_n a_o hard_a name_n but_o that_o i_o pity_v my_o friend_n ignorance_n repl._n 4._o true_o mr._n t._n it_o be_v not_o well_o do_v to_o pity_n and_o give_v no_o help_n to_o answer_v dissenter_n i_o doubt_v something_o pinch_v that_o provoke_v you_o but_o may_v be_v i_o may_v have_v some_o relief_n for_o answ_n 5._o you_o say_v dedicate_v among_o other_o thing_n be_v to_o deliver_v up_o with_o some_o solemnity_n what_o belong_v to_o another_o and_o so_o the_o child_n by_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v solemn_o dedicate_v to_o christ_n to_o who_o he_o do_v belong_v by_o baptism_n rep._n 5._o this_o be_v fine_a indeed_o the_o child_n be_v dedicate_v by_o the_o cross_n who_o be_v before_o dedicate_v by_o baptism_n so_o you_o take_v upon_o you_o to_o mend_v what_o be_v perfect_a before_o and_o this_o be_v another_o instance_n of_o your_o impeach_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god._n last_o dissenter_n say_v that_o infant_n be_v baptise_a in_o token_n hereafter_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a etc._n etc._n and_o so_o shall_v not_o be_v cross_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o you_o have_v cross_a enough_o and_o say_v nothing_o to_o this_o now_o suppose_v a_o person_n come_v with_o authority_n under_o the_o k.'s_n broad_a seal_n to_o execute_v a_o office_n and_o some_o man_n shall_v come_v and_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o act_v unless_o you_o
