gift_n and_o grace_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n which_o the_o apostle_n never_o exercise_v nor_o will_v assume_v and_o yet_o they_o may_v much_o better_o have_v do_v it_o and_o the_o

willing_a to_o take_v my_o lord_n be_v mean_v at_o the_o fair_a that_o my_o lord_n can_v digest_v some_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n but_o he_o will_v have_v no_o injunction_n upon_o they_o so_o he_o that_o will_v use_v they_o might_n and_o he_o that_o will_v not_o might_n choose_v and_o this_o in_o short_a time_n will_v bring_v mere_a confusion_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o i_o hope_n be_v not_o my_o lord_n intention_n to_o do_v beside_o my_o lord_n can_v but_o know_v that_o this_o injunction_n for_o our_o set_a form_n of_o service_n come_v not_o from_o the_o church_n direction_n and_o constitution_n though_o her_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n frame_v it_o but_o from_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o king_n and_o parliament_n so_o that_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o his_o lordship_n bring_v here_o against_o the_o church_n be_v equal_o if_o not_o more_o set_v against_o the_o king_n and_o the_o parliament_n well_o why_o then_o be_v not_o a_o injunction_n of_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n fit_a why_o my_o lord_n tell_v you_o first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o act_n of_o

regal_a power_n have_v aught_o to_o do_v with_o they_o dare_v he_o speak_v out_o second_o because_o it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o men._n not_o so_o neither_o for_o whatsoever_o gift_n or_o grace_n god_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n they_o may_v all_o have_v time_n place_n and_o occasion_n enough_o to_o use_v they_o to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n submit_v to_o that_o set_a form_n of_o god_n worship_n which_o be_v enjoin_v for_o unity_n and_o decency_n in_o that_o external_n service_n so_o this_o lay_v no_o restraint_n upon_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o pious_a and_o religious_a man_n but_o it_o keep_v off_o bold_a ignorant_a and_o audacious_a man_n from_o foam_v out_o their_o own_o shame_n to_o the_o great_a disorder_n and_o scandal_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n as_o we_o may_v see_v at_o

which_o preach_v thus_o scandalous_o talk_v of_o gift_n and_o grace_n none_o more_o three_o because_o the_o apostle_n never_o exercise_v nor_o will_v assume_v this_o power_n of_o enjoin_v a_o set_a

since_o st._n john_n the_o baptist_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v st._n luke_n 11._o and_o that_o it_o 1._o be_v by_o some_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n i_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o think_v

john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o christ_n 2._o instant_o grant_v their_o request_n teach_v they_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o st._n john_n teach_v his_o so_o too_o though_o the_o form_n be_v not_o record_v in_o scripture_n upon_o all_o which_o lay_v together_o it_o be_v probable_a enough_o by_o my_o lord_n leave_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v exercise_n some_o set_a form_n that_o at_o lest_o which_o christ_n teach_v they_o and_o assume_v power_n to_o enjoin_v it_o upon_o their_o follower_n but_o herein_o yet_o the_o apostle_n be_v somewhat_o behold_v to_o this_o lord_n that_o he_o re-allows_a they_o may_v better_o have_v do_v it_o than_o any_o now-adays_a well_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v what_o they_o may_v better_o have_v do_v sure_o i_o be_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v now_o four_o because_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v then_o have_v be_v allege_v for_o it_o that_o be_v now_o the_o same_o might_n but_o

the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o other_o man_n to_o the_o avoid_n of_o confusion_n in_o the_o church_n which_o god_n by_o his_o apostle_n will_v none_o of_o beside_o the_o apostle_n and_o some_o

best_a that_o can_v be_v say_v of_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o pretty_a fine_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n but_o to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o business_n i_o will_v have_v his_o

for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o say_v till_o you_o be_v strong_a and_o have_v better_a gift_n pray_v as_o i_o teach_v you_o but_o simple_o and_o absolute_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n

which_o be_v cry_v up_o by_o my_o lord_n to_o have_v such_o excellent_a gift_n and_o grace_n be_v in_o as_o much_o need_n of_o these_o crutch_n as_o other_o men._n in_o the_o mean_a time_n my_o lord_n

man_n he_o mean_v can_v so_o easy_o offer_v better_o if_o they_o will_v and_o that_o when_o they_o do_v not_o it_o be_v their_o negligence_n that_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v useless_a for_o it_o be_v know_v already_o to_o sober_a mind_n that_o the_o fault_n when_o any_o arise_v in_o that_o work_n be_v neither_o in_o the_o service_n which_o be_v very_o good_a nor_o in_o the_o injunction_n which_o be_v very_o lawful_a but_o in_o the_o person_n which_o officiate_n if_o he_o do_v not_o his_o duty_n and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o confuse_a practise_v of_o divers_a form_n indifferent_o to_o manifest_v that_o which_o be_v know_v already_o and_o if_o my_o lord_n bring_v no_o worse_a sin_n about_o he_o when_o he_o come_v to_o church_n than_o he_o will_v find_v fault_n in_o the_o liturgy_n he_o may_v safe_o come_v to_o church_n and_o be_v a_o happy_a man_n in_o so_o do_v and_o i_o may_v well_o doubt_v of_o my_o lord_n meaning_n herein_o for_o himself_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o auditor_n therefore_o he_o add_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o express_v myself_o clear_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o or_o not_o and_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o nice_a scrupulosity_n give_v i_o leave_v therefore_o to_o endeavour_v to_o clear_v it_o by_o a_o instance_n or_o two_o true_o my_o lord_n take_v himself_o right_a for_o neither_o have_v he_o express_v himself_o very_o clear_o nor_o be_v the_o matter_n so_o material_a in_o itself_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o it_o seem_v a_o very_a nice_a scrupulosity_n and_o altogether_o
