very_o make_v of_o they_o any_o ordinary_a person_n may_v perceive_v they_o be_v not_o compose_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o if_o the_o other_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o

first_o century_n and_o he_o labour_v first_o of_o all_o to_o prove_v what_o he_o have_v undertake_v etc._n p._n 28_o etc._n etc._n by_o assert_v that_o the_o essenes_n who_o have_v be_v believe_v by_o divers_a learned_a man_n to_o be_v christian_n have_v form_n of_o prayer_n for_o josephus_n say_v they_o use_v prayer_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o their_o forefather_n which_o must_v be_v form_n and_o philo_n say_v they_o do_v sing_v alternate_o and_o eusebius_n call_v these_o the_o hymn_n sing_v among_o we_o christian_n and_o that_o excellent_a historian_n labour_v to_o prove_v these_o essenes_n be_v christian_n by_o this_o argument_n among_o some_o other_o because_o they_o pray_v and_o sing_v hymn_n in_o set_a form_n as_o the_o christian_n use_v to_o do_v 17._o euscb_n hist_o lib._n 2._o c._n 17._o thus_o far_o the_o doctor_n and_o i_o do_v ready_o acknowledge_v that_o fusebius_n do_v endeavour_n from_o what_o he_o sind_v in_o philo_n to_o prove_v the_o essenes_n to_o be_v christian_n and_o particular_o from_o their_o way_n of_o sing_a psalm_n and_o hymn_n but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v one_o word_n of_o their_o have_v set_v form_n of_o prayer_n that_o they_o pray_v in_o set_a form_n as_o the_o christian_n use_v to_o do_v be_v the_o doctor_n be_v own_o say_v for_o fusebius_n do_v neither_o say_v the_o essenes_n have_v form_n of_o prayer_n nor_o that_o the_o christian_n do_v use_v any_o and_o yet_o eusebius_n do_v say_v that_o philo_n book_n do_v comprehend_v in_o it_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d valefius_n think_v

do_v gather_v out_o of_o that_o book_n what_o he_o think_v be_v proper_a to_o show_v how_o exact_o these_o essenes_n and_o the_o christian_n do_v agree_v in_o their_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n as_o he_o himself_o assure_v we_o in_o the_o chapter_n before_o refer_v unto_o and_o yet_o say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o pray_v by_o set_a form_n which_o rather_o intimate_v there_o be_v no_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n use_v by_o the_o christian_n in_o his_o time_n see_v he_o omit_v the_o mention_n of_o the_o form_n the_o essenes_n use_v if_o as_o josephus_n report_v the_o essenes_n have_v form_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o next_o place_n the_o doctor_n think_v he_o have_v a_o proof_n of_o liturgy_n in_o clemens_n romanus_n but_o whoever_o consider_v clemens_n will_v soon_o perceive_v that_o the_o passage_n the_o doctor_n have_v be_v please_v to_o quote_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n
liturgy_n 6._o p._n 6._o instead_o of_o intimate_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o reform_v the_o old_a method_n of_o pray_v by_o form_n do_v show_v his_o approbation_n of_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o a_o prescribe_a form_n but_o he_o may_v with_o as_o much_o clearness_n have_v push_v his_o inference_n from_o those_o premise_n further_o viz._n that_o he_o do_v show_v his_o approbation_n at_o least_o of_o his_o follower_n compose_v form_n of_o prayer_n if_o they_o be_v to_o compose_v any_o for_o constant_a public_a use_n only_a out_o of_o the_o jewish_a liturgy_n i_o may_v further_o mind_v you_o that_o the_o doctor_n do_v ordinary_o discourse_v too_o loose_o concern_v form_n of_o prayer_n as_o not_o be_v mindful_a of_o what_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o discourse_v of_o for_o if_o he_o find_v any_o word_n use_v in_o prayer_n which_o be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o any_o where_o else_o before_o those_o word_n he_o allege_v for_o proof_n that_o the_o whole_a prayer_n be_v a_o form_n thus_o christ_n use_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n on_o the_o cross_n say_v the_o doctor_n extract_v out_o of_o the_o 22d_o 7._o p._n 7._o psalm_n which_o begin_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o but_o pray_v who_o do_v extract_v the_o petition_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o form_n for_o he_o and_o oblige_v he_o even_o on_o that_o occasion_n to_o use_v no_o other_o word_n but_o what_o be_v ready_o provide_v to_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o next_o paragraph_v the_o doctor_n free_o grant_v 9_o p._n 9_o that_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v not_o only_o a_o form_n but_o also_o a_o

if_o we_o be_v not_o limit_v to_o the_o lord_n prayer_n but_o may_v use_v liturgy_n which_o be_v no_o other_o word_n but_o such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o it_o both_z as_o to_o the_o form_n and_o matter_n of_o they_o which_o be_v but_o a_o odd_a sort_n of_o expression_n to_o fall_v from_o a_o learned_a doctor_n why_o may_v not_o minister_n keep_v to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n use_v other_o word_n than_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o liturgy_n as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v for_o liturgy_n may_v use_v other_o word_n then_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o

to_o be_v bind_v to_o use_v always_o other_o people_n word_n the_o doctor_n next_o speak_v of_o a_o gift_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o represent_v as_o if_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o it_o a_o extraordinary_a assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o teach_v man_n new_a word_n and_o phrase_n in_o ordinary_a case_n and_o for_o their_o daily_a prayer_n whereas_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n no_o more_o be_v mean_v than_o a_o ability_n to_o represent_v the_o sentiment_n of_o a_o soul_n due_o affect_v with_o the_o general_n and_o particular_a subject_a matter_n of_o prayer_n in_o proper_a

the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o that_o purpose_n the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n sober_o consider_v do_v not_o imply_v any_o necessity_n as_o the_o doctor_n hint_n constant_o to_o vary_v and_o use_v all_o new_a word_n indeed_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o gift_n can_v very_o well_o consist_v with_o a_o obligation_n constant_o to_o use_v the_o very_a same_o word_n nor_o be_v it_o usual_o pretend_v that_o this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o as_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o heart_n or_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v a_o lively_a apprehension_n and_o

more_o to_o further_o the_o common_a or_o more_o appropriate_a end_n of_o public_a prayer_n than_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o other_o word_n the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v comprehend_v the_o

scruple_n only_o you_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o doctor_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o clemens_n do_v allude_v here_o to_o those_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n rom._n 15.6_o and_o st._n paul_n

from_o this_o homily_n to_o prove_v a_o state_v liturgy_n depend_v as_o mr_n clarkson_n say_v on_o the_o mode_n or_o form_n of_o expression_n here_o use_v 141._o p._n 141._o and_o what_o origen_n

if_o those_o who_o do_v officiate_v do_v frequent_o use_v the_o same_o word_n in_o prayer_n concern_v the_o same_o matter_n be_v the_o inference_n thence_o just_a that_o therefore_o they_o may_v not_o
