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

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

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

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

those_o time_n have_v the_o grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o other_o grace_n and_o there_o be_v then_o as_o peculiar_a a_o gift_n by_o inspiration_n to_o pray_v as_o to_o

from_o fornication_n where_o first_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v assume_v this_o power_n of_o enjoin_v and_o exercise_v it_o too_o and_o i_o hope_v my_o lord_n for_o very_a

mankind_n especial_o and_o therefore_o though_o a_o man_n can_v take_v too_o much_o pain_n in_o that_o which_o he_o be_v to_o speak_v from_o god_n to_o man_n lest_o he_o be_v prove_v a_o false_a relater_n yet_o of_o the_o two_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o care_n have_v what_o prayer_n he_o put_v up_o for_o himself_o and_o the_o whole_a congregation_n unto_o god_n lest_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o false_a worshipper_n but_o also_o lest_o he_o sudden_o and_o unadvised_o ask_v that_o which_o may_v be_v hurtful_a unto_o all_o and_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v god_n may_v at_o that_o time_n be_v angry_a with_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o may_v hear_v in_o his_o anger_n and_o grant_v and_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v find_v a_o great_a and_o more_o dangerous_a sin_n for_o the_o priest_n to_o make_v the_o people_n ask_v at_o god_n hand_n those_o thing_n which_o they_o ought_v not_o beside_o the_o public_a prayer_n of_o the_o church_n do_v teach_v and_o inform_v the_o people_n not_o only_o how_o to_o pray_v and_o so_o how_o to_o worship_n but_o in_o many_o thing_n also_o what_o to_o believe_v as_o well_o nay_o often_o time_n better_o than_o many_o sermon_n so_o that_o ill_o pray_v in_o public_a contain_v almost_o all_o the_o mischief_n that_o ill_o preach_v have_v in_o it_o over_z and_o above_o all_o the_o ill_a that_o be_v proper_a to_o itself_o and_o so_o be_v the_o more_o dangerous_a sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n can_v be_v too_o careful_a for_o a_o set_v and_o know_v form_n for_o public_a prayer_n yea_o and_o that_o enjoin_v too_o so_o it_o be_v well_o weigh_v beforehand_o though_o for_o preach_v she_o leave_v a_o great_a latitude_n so_o upon_o consideration_n i_o think_v there_o be_v more_o difference_n between_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o a_o set_a form_n of_o preach_v than_o that_o we_o be_v invite_v to_o the_o one_o and_o not_o to_o the_o other_o yet_o when_o i_o hear_v what_o extravagant_a nay_o seditious_a preach_v there_o be_v nowadays_o i_o be_o strong_o tempt_v to_o believe_v that_o be_v the_o like_a injunction_n for_o preach_v it_o be_v far_o better_o than_o that_o such_o loose_a dangerous_a and_o most_o

nothing_o so_o common_a at_o this_o time_n to_o call_v separatist_n as_o to_o be_v one_o or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o theological_a scarecrow_n by_o which_o the_o potent_a and_o prevalent_a party_n use_v to_o affright_v and_o enforce_v those_o who_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n to_o subscribe_v to_o their_o dictate_v or_o sure_a if_o there_o be_v such_o practice_n the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o

to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o

which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a

and_o the_o same_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v yet_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o my_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o our_o set_a form_n be_v superstition_n and_o that_o

yoke_n of_o bondage_n and_o our_o other_o gross_a corruption_n be_v remove_v and_o i_o must_v doubt_v they_o embrace_v not_o the_o same_o faith_n till_o they_o admit_v the_o whole_a creed_n and_o will_v use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n which_o few_o of_o they_o will_n as_o for_o the_o spirit_n that_o work_v by_o love_n i_o much_o fear_v he_o be_v a_o great_a stranger_n to_o many_o of_o these_o

they_o so_o soon_o become_v but_o ceremony_n and_o thing_n indifferent_a if_o they_o be_v more_o than_o ceremony_n and_o thing_n indifferent_a than_o my_o lord_n deliver_v not_o the_o whole_a truth_n

be_v such_o thing_n as_o though_o they_o be_v indifferent_a to_o other_o yet_o to_o they_o they_o be_v not_o but_o burden_n and_o it_o may_v be_v they_o make_v they_o so_o for_o in_o their_o own_o

they_o not_o be_v take_v away_o without_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n or_o prejudic_n to_o the_o church_n who_o to_o please_v a_o few_o unruly_a separatist_n must_v make_v a_o alteration_n in_o that_o part_n of_o religion_n which_o have_v continue_v with_o great_a happiness_n to_o this_o church_n ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n second_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v it_o here_o what_o
