controversy_n betwixt_o we_o i_o shall_v acknowledge_v that_o a_o church_n may_v 〈◊〉_d the_o usage_n of_o any_o reverend_a lowly_a submissive_a gesture_n in_o public_a supplication_n when_o there_o be_v conveniency_n for_o the_o usage_n thereof_o but_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o hereupon_o follow_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o gesture_n of_o public_a prayer_n according_a

shall_v conclude_v such_o a_o appointment_n of_o any_o church_n whatsoever_o to_o be_v unlawful_a because_o contrary_a unto_o the_o express_a direction_n of_o scripture_n your_o second_o instance_n

may_v by_o mere_a light_n of_o nature_n without_o any_o institution_n easy_o gather_v what_o gesture_n be_v fit_v decent_a and_o agreeable_a unto_o these_o action_n 2._o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o the_o governor_n or_o officer_n of_o a_o church_n may_v appoint_v in_o these_o action_n any_o decent_a gesture_n or_o posture_n of_o the_o body_n provide_v that_o by_o special_a institution_n they_o do_v not_o put_v upon_o it_o any_o mystical_a signification_n and_o thereby_o make_v it_o a_o worship_n 3._o that_o from_o this_o grant_v it_o can_v never_o be_v infer_v that_o in_o those_o gesture_n which_o be_v to_o be_v 〈◊〉_d in_o laud_n hymn_n confession_n of_o the_o faith_n all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v 〈◊〉_d according_a to_o the_o appointment_n of_o church_n governor_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o church_n governor_n may_v be_v so_o irrational_a as_o to_o appoint_v here_o undecent_a gesture_n as_o that_o the_o people_n shall_v lie_v along_o on_o their_o face_n in_o sing_v of_o psalm_n of_o praise_n and_o in_o confession_n of_o the_o faith_n now_o a_o undecent_a gesture_n will_v be_v finfull_a because_o against_o the_o apostle_n prescription_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o in_o the_o last_o place_n proceed_v we_o unto_o those_o argument_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v they_o which_o you_o have_v for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o proposition_n which_o i_o say_v be_v incumbent_n on_o you_o to_o prove_v if_o you_o have_v for_o this_o any_o argument_n in_o this_o your_o discourse_n they_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v these_o three_o 1._o because_o obedience_n must_v be_v pay_v to_o those_o superior_n which_o watch_v over_o our_o soul_n 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n leave_v order_n to_o thus_o 〈◊〉_d set_v in_o
