have_v himself_o take_v the_o covenant_n which_o we_o may_v rational_o conclude_v have_v induce_v he_o to_o write_v more_o favourable_o of_o it_o than_o any_o of_o the_o king_n party_n or_o friend_n or_o the_o king_n himself_o will_v ever_o have_v do_v 3._o three_o probable_a argument_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o chap._n 16._o and_o 24._o which_o as_o i_o show_v before_o res_n 2_o d._n dr._n

which_o dr._n gauden_n be_v less_o concern_v to_o think_v on_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v he_o have_v forbear_v the_o use_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n though_o it_o be_v continue_v long_a in_o

desire_v dr._n gauden_n to_o write_v on_o these_o subject_n but_o after_o recall_v that_o motion_n and_o undertake_v to_o do_v it_o himself_o which_o he_o also_o perform_v as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o his_o free_a declare_v that_o he_o have_v neither_o thought_n of_o these_o subject_n nor_o write_v of_o they_o which_o it_o be_v so_o unlikely_a he_o shall_v render_v it_o very_o probable_a he_o speak_v truth_n in_o declare_v that_o he_o write_v the_o rest_n 4._o i_o meet_v with_o expression_n in_o the_o devotional_a part_n very_o frequent_o use_v by_o dr._n gauden_n in_o his_o prayer_n for_o he_o use_v conceive_v prayer_n both_o in_o his_o family_n and_o in_o public_a which_o i_o never_o hear_v from_o any_o other_o man_n and_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o observe_v that_o most_o man_n
