be_v to_o be_v sing_v afterwards_o to_o god_n glory_n this_o you_o can_v deny_v i_o be_o sure_a and_o if_o you_o say_v man_n do_v now_o but_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o

prayer_n how_o then_o shall_v ignorant_a youth_n and_o little_a young_a maid_n pray_v nay_o many_o time_n old_a man_n be_v but_o new_a convert_n and_o what_o will_v you_o have_v they_o do_v if_o they_o use_v many_o word_n in_o a_o prayer_n they_o will_v too_o soon_o ask_v they_o know_v not_o what_o like_o the_o mother_n of_o zebedee_n child_n yea_o they_o be_v ignorant_a will_v present_o in_o their_o pride_n of_o spirit_n think_v themselves_o fit_a to_o fit_v at_o the_o elbow_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n for_o they_o will_v think_v they_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o place_n than_o moses_n or_o aaron_n sure_o it_o be_v safe_a for_o such_o to_o use_v that_o form_n which_o god_n teach_v the_o people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n deut._n 28._o it_o be_v to_o they_o a_o form_n viz._n amen_o but_o if_o you_o can_v pray_v know_o then_o pour_v out_o your_o heart_n to_o god_n according_a to_o true_a knowledge_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o prey_n or_o say_v many_o word_n and_o but_o little_a matter_n but_o chief_o it_o be_v tautology_n and_o often_o repeat_v the_o same_o word_n and_o can_v not_o proceed_v far_o and_o think_v themselves_o high_o gift_v too_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o spiritual_a pride_n judge_v of_o your_o ability_n with_o a_o single_a eye_n i_o know_v some_o that_o have_v applaud_v a_o minister_n for_o make_v such_o a_o admirable_a prayer_n as_o none_o near_o he_o be_v to_o be_v compare_v unto_o he_o but_o it_o be_v the_o silly_a tautology_n that_o i_o be_v ashamed_a to_o hear_v it_o do_v you_o think_v in_o your_o conscience_n that_o if_o you_o be_v teach_v in_o a_o form_n to_o ask_v for_o a_o hundred_o pound_n of_o some_o that_o be_v both_o able_a and_o willing_a to_o give_v it_o and_o also_o you_o want_v bread_n to_o put_v in_o your_o belly_n be_v hungry_a and_o empty_a that_o then_o you_o can_v not_o ask_v in_o that_o form_n yes_o i_o warrant_v you_o therefore_o beware_v of_o spiritual_a pride_n but_o now_o have_v thus_o a_o little_a prepare_v you_o as_o i_o hope_v for_o some_o sure_a instruction_n i_o now_o come_v more_o home_n to_o you_o luke_n 11._o 1._o you_o may_v see_v that_o our_o saviour_n teach_v his_o

increase_v our_o faith_n etc._n etc._n in_o these_o word_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o they_o be_v to_o use_v the_o word_n that_o he_o teach_v they_o and_o although_o luke_n have_v it_o in_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o overthrow_v this_o evangelist_n for_o both_o way_n be_v

of_o our_o hand_n you_o be_v our_o god_n for_o in_o thou_o the_o fatherless_a find_v mercy_n all_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n the_o lord_n teach_v the_o people_n by_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n and_o col._n 3._o 16._o let_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o you_o rich_o in_o all_o wisdom_n teach_v and_o admonish_v one_o another_o in_o psalm_n hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v with_o grace_n in_o your_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n he_o do_v not_o here_o mean_a in_o this_o place_n any_o new_a psalm_n or_o hymn_n for_o he_o bid_v they_o admonish_v each_o other_o in_o those_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n therefore_o those_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n be_v then_o canonical_a although_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o upon_o some_o occasion_n be_v it_o not_o for_o startle_v the_o weak_a in_o knowledge_n that_o some_o preacher_n that_o be_v a_o solid_a man_n will_v frame_v a_o psalm_n for_o that_o special_a occasion_n for_o he_o that_o can_v make_v a_o prayer_n according_a to_o the_o word_n be_v able_a also_o to_o make_v a_o psalm_n but_o this_o i_o think_v will_v be_v inconvenient_a but_o this_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v viz._n the_o preacher_n himself_o shall_v fit_v a_o psalm_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n for_o the_o several_a occasion_n and_o suitable_a to_o his_o sermon_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o point_n also_o with_o this_o conclusion_n now_o since_o we_o have_v no_o prayer-book_n the_o sabbath_n afternoon_n the_o sleep_n so_o much_o some_o head_n have_v take_v that_o dead_a they_o be_v in_o swoon_n some_o scripture_n we_o in_o stead_n thereof_o may_v safe_o entertain_v lest_o we_o so_o much_o from_o it_o be_v off_o that_o there_o we_o sit_v in_o vain_a and_o now_o i_o think_v i_o see_v another_o stand_n by_o music_n with_o a_o question_n in_o his_o mouth_n for_o these_o time_n be_v fraught_v with_o they_o now_o and_o this_o be_v it_o viz._n how_o if_o pipe_n and_o organ_n shall_v chance_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o we_o again_o as_o they_o be_v before_o the_o parliament_n begin_v will_v not_o that_o be_v idolatry_n think_v you_o and_o if_o so_o than_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v we_o a_o warrant_n to_o run_v out_o of_o the_o church_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o what_o be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o what_o be_v a_o inconvenience_n be_v another_o thing_n therefore_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v inform_v well_o in_o your_o judgement_n before_o you_o be_v too_o forward_o to_o make_v a_o conclusion_n first_o if_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v idolatry_n now_o what_o be_v it_o all_o that_o time_n when_o god_n himself_o in_o david_n time_n allow_v it_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o people_n if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n use_v it_o to_o his_o idol_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v idolatry_n i_o answer_v so_o do_v the_o heathen_a very_o likely_a and_o beside_o if_o that_o be_v it_o by_o the_o which_o you_o will_v gather_v a_o conclusion_n viz._n that_o because_o the_o papist_n use_v it_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o use_v it_o then_o may_v not_o we_o sing_v unto_o the_o true_a god_n because_o the_o papist_n sing_v unto_o their_o idol_n for_o sing_v be_v melody_n therefore_o this_o your_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o validity_n but_o here_o be_v another_o question_n put_v to_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a one_o viz._n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a law_n it_o be_v lawful_a but_o be_v not_o now_o it_o be_v not_o now_o command_v therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v brief_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o end_n wherefore_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o allow_v you_o may_v easy_o make_v conclusion_n the_o end_n why_o it_o be_v first_o allow_v be_v this_o to_o occasion_n joyfulness_n or_o cheerfulness_n in_o the_o user_n and_o hearer_n of_o it_o that_o so_o they_o may_v praise_v god_n with_o the_o more_o lively_a affection_n for_o all_o know_v it_o be_v a_o outward_a occasion_n of_o natural_a joy_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v then_o use_v with_o it_o viz._n in_o psalm_n or_o hymn_n do_v turn_v the_o use_n of_o it_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o the_o more_o hearty_a praise_n of_o god_n second_o to_o your_o question_n more_o full_o that_o be_v because_o it_o be_v not_o command_v by_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o now_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o use_v it_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n why_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n possible_a to_o enable_v we_o to_o praise_n god_n

power_n of_o sa●an_a and_o so_o become_v a_o worshipper_n of_o the_o image_n itself_o and_o true_o it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o become_v a_o idolater_n first_o to_o invent_v a_o similitude_n of_o god_n and_o make_v it_o according_o and_o then_o worship_n god_n by_o it_o and_o after_o that_o to_o worship_v and_o adore_v the_o thing_n itself_o report_v and_o history_n do_v declare_v thus_o

idolater_n then_o much_o more_o of_o popish_a idolater_n for_o they_o be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o those_o former_a idolater_n be_v for_o these_o do_v more_o persecute_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o

have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a by_o all_o their_o treacherous_a and_o murderous_a plot_n yea_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o dangerous_a because_o that_o although_o they_o call_v themselves_o christian_n in_o way_n of_o dissimulation_n they_o call_v we_o heretic_n heretic_n and_o our_o religion_n heresy_n too_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o wary_a of_o they_o then_o of_o other_o idolater_n for_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n can_v devise_v a_o more_o dangerous_a people_n and_o religion_n than_o they_o and_o they_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o lay_v out_o some_o of_o their_o tenet_n by_o the_o which_o we_o may_v see_v they_o the_o more_o clear_o to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n lead_v to_o damnation_n and_o thus_o i_o do_v begin_v brief_o they_o they_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n or_o a_o place_n to_o purge_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n after_o this_o life_n so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o the_o true_a servant_n and_o
