A01730 A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

of_o prayer_n be_v convenient_a and_o needful_a for_o edification_n there_o it_o be_v command_v now_o let_v the_o reader_n observe_v again_o your_o word_n which_o be_v that_o all_o our_o minister_n must_v leave_v read_v their_o stincted_a prayer_n upon_o the_o book_n or_o else_o stand_v under_o god_n wrath_n and_o all_o that_o so_o pray_v with_o they_o master_n greenewood_n complain_v of_o great_a injury_n when_o i_o gather_v from_o his_o word_n that_o he_o condemn_v all_o church_n because_o he_o know_v that_o be_v a_o matter_n sufficient_a alone_o to_o bewray_v the_o wickedness_n of_o brownisme_n now_o if_o all_o our_o minister_n which_o pray_v upon_o the_o book_n and_o the_o people_n that_o pray_v with_o they_o stand_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o this_o thing_n then_o can_v they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o god_n love_v his_o church_n and_o all_o church_n have_v prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n which_o their_o minister_n use_v therefore_o they_o all_o stand_v under_o god_n wrath_n but_o they_o do_v it_o ignorantlie_o will_v he_o say_v and_o so_o say_v i_o do_v all_o our_o church_n until_o his_o paper_n come_v abroad_o and_o many_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o see_v they_o and_o some_o that_o have_v see_v they_o be_v not_o persuade_v and_o so_o be_v ignorant_a still_o the_o next_o thing_n you_o deal_v with_o be_v the_o argument_n which_o i_o draw_v from_o the_o sing_a psalm_n upon_o the_o book_n it_o be_v so_o clear_a they_o do_v sing_v they_o upon_o the_o book_n that_o the_o brownist_n himself_o can_v deny_v it_o it_o be_v also_o most_o manifest_a they_o do_v sing_v they_o as_o he_o also_o now_o confess_v to_o god_n for_o so_o be_v we_o command_v in_o many_o place_n sing_v praise_n to_o god_n then_o further_o he_o that_o offer_v up_o praise_n to_o god_n read_v it_o can_v be_v gainsay_v but_o that_o he_o offer_v up_o a_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n read_v yea_o praise_n be_v one_o part_n of_o prayer_n and_o it_o be_v as_o hard_a a_o thing_n to_o speak_v praise_n to_o god_n upon_o the_o book_n as_o to_o crave_v by_o petition_n upon_o the_o book_n and_o as_o spiritual_a a_o work_n and_o i_o may_v say_v a_o more_o high_a service_n where_o be_v then_o that_o gross_a fantasy_n of_o master_n greenewood_n which_o because_o read_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o speak_v to_o god_n be_v another_o say_v a_o man_n can_v both_o read_v and_o speak_v to_o god_n at_o once_o he_o can_v say_v o_o my_o god_n when_o he_o read_v but_o o_o my_o book_n why_o be_v thou_o so_o evil_o print_v i_o argue_v if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o old_a time_n do_v both_o read_v the_o psalm_n upon_o the_o book_n and_o speak_v unto_o the_o lord_n at_o the_o same_o instant_n how_o shall_v it_o not_o now_o be_v both_o possible_a and_o lawful_a for_o to_o speak_v unto_o god_n in_o prayer_n while_o one_o read_v he_o say_v i_o deny_v your_o argument_n i_o say_v that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o deny_v the_o argument_n let_v we_o therefore_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o denial_n admit_v that_o sing_n be_v a_o part_n of_o prayer_n say_v he_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o all_o prayer_n may_v be_v read_v upon_o the_o book_n we_o must_v take_v this_o upon_o your_o bare_a word_n at_o least_o such_o as_o will_v may_v believe_v you_o i_o stand_v to_o affirm_v that_o one_o part_n of_o prayer_n be_v as_o spiritual_a a_o work_n as_o another_o thereupon_o i_o also_o affirm_v that_o if_o one_o part_n may_v be_v read_v upon_o the_o book_n and_o no_o turn_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n into_o a_o idol_n no_o st●nting_v the_o spirit_n no_o quench_v the_o spirit_n no_o idolatry_n no_o hindrance_n but_o that_o he_o which_o read_v may_v speak_v unto_o god_n it_o may_v be_v so_o in_o any_o other_o part_n and_o let_v we_o see_v what_o he_o will_v be_v able_a to_o disproove_v this_o withal_o but_o he_o say_v i_o speak_v like_o a_o ignorant_a man_n to_o say_v that_o sing_n be_v prayer_n because_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a action_n and_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n the_o one_o never_o read_v for_o the_o other_o nor_o say_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o other_o throughout_o the_o scripture_n but_o be_v plain_o distinguish_v as_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v pray_v with_o understanding_n i_o will_v sing_v with_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v sing_v with_o understanding_n say_v saint_n paul_n i_o answer_v you_o can_v no_o where_n more_o untimely_a accuse_v i_o of_o ignorance_n then_o where_o your_o own_o speech_n in_o this_o and_o that_o which_o follow_v next_o be_v patch_v

reason_n not_o only_o because_o the_o very_a sing_v itself_o be_v not_o prayer_n no_o more_o than_o read_v or_o speak_v but_o also_o that_o there_o be_v many_o prayer_n which_o be_v not_o song_n and_o

there_o be_v three_o argument_n of_o master_n greenewoods_n which_o i_o answer_v at_o once_o by_o deny_v the_o assumption_n and_o show_v the_o reason_n that_o move_v i_o for_o in_o deed_n he_o set_v down_o some_o proposition_n and_o out_o of_o they_o affirm_v that_o which_o be_v false_a and_o so_o conclude_v from_o thence_o another_o falsehood_n it_o be_v his_o whole_a manner_n of_o reason_v if_o i_o set_v down_o this_o proposition_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n it_o be_v most_o true_a if_o i_o will_v now_o make_v such_o a_o assumption_n as_o this_o a_o bodelie_a substance_n can_v worship_v a_o spirit_n this_o being_n most_o false_a there_o will_v follow_v a_o false_a conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v worship_n god_n in_o body_n he_o be_v now_o therefore_o to_o prove_v his_o assumption_n and_o before_o he_o come_v to_o it_o he_o cry_v out_o stay_v and_o wonder_n they_o be_v blind_a and_o make_v blind_a who_o be_v blind_a and_o make_v blind_a the_o brownist_n this_o man_n

etc._n i_o answer_v who_o do_v doubt_n of_o this_o you_o confess_v i_o will_v say_v the_o proposition_n be_v true_a and_o weighty_a matter_n which_o i_o do_v in_o deed_n and_o thereby_o do_v

to_o read_v upon_o the_o book_n when_o one_o pray_v be_v a_o quench_v the_o spirit_n for_o this_o he_o allege_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o have_v set_v

i_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v most_o fit_a to_o utter_v our_o passion_n by_o and_o what_o have_v you_o bring_v but_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n if_o we_o respect_v such_o as_o be_v not_o able_a so_o well_o to_o utter_v the_o spiritual_a eye_n to_o see_v and_o judge_v that_o to_o be_v a_o quench_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o the_o eye_n of_o
