the_o use_n of_o daily_a public_a prayer_n in_o three_o position_n london_n print_v for_o john_n maynard_n 1641._o â§_o the_o use_v of_o daily_a public_a prayer_n in_o three_o position_n i_o that_o daily_o public_a prayer_n have_v be_v in_o use_n among_o christian_n from_o the_o beginning_n so_o far_o as_o persecution_n give_v leave_v and_o be_v account_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n ii_o that_o those_o prayer_n be_v at_o set_a hour_n in_o a_o prescript_n form_n not_o arbitrary_a in_o either_o iii_o that_o the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o the_o public_a weal_n in_o the_o long_a life_n and_o happy_a preservation_n of_o pious_a prince_n and_o other_o particular_n and_o the_o good_a success_n of_o army_n in_o time_n of_o war_n have_v be_v think_v by_o ancient_a christian_n of_o pure_a time_n the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n in_o part_n of_o these_o public_a prayer_n and_o daily_a service_n of_o the_o church_n i._n it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o acknowledge_v by_o all_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o holy_a communion_n be_v public_o administer_v every_o day_n the_o word_n liturgia_fw-la be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n by_o ancient_a writer_n appropriate_v to_o the_o communion_n because_o that_o be_v the_o most_o solemn_a service_n though_o sometime_o it_o be_v also_o take_v more_o general_o the_o form_n of_o administration_n which_o saint_n augustine_n say_v in_o divers_a place_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o or_o almost_o all_o christian_a church_n in_o his_o time_n i_o be_v institute_v and_o prescribe_v by_o saint_n paul_n

or_o at_o least_o of_o next_o antiquity_n to_o apostolical_a by_o he_o also_o it_o appear_v that_o christian_a people_n in_o his_o day_n be_v wont_v so_o studious_o to_o frequent_v the_o public_a
