but_o this_o be_v only_o to_o understand_v the_o action_n and_o ceremony_n not_o the_o word_n and_o can_v answer_v the_o end_n of_o public_a prayer_n which_o be_v to_o offer_v up_o our_o common_a petition_n to_o god_n with_o one_o heart_n and_o mind_n the_o use_n of_o word_n in_o public_a prayer_n be_v to_o direct_v and_o determine_v our_o thought_n and_o to_o excite_v our_o affection_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o priest_n read_v the_o prayer_n with_o a_o audible_a voice_n that_o all_o the_o people_n may_v join_v with_o he_o and_o these_o indeed_o be_v public_a and_o common_a prayer_n but_o now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o priest_n read_v the_o prayer_n but_o the_o people_n do_v not_o join_v with_o he_o because_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v he_o but_o the_o most_o they_o can_v do_v be_v by_o action_n and_o ceremony_n to_o guess_v at_o what_o part_n of_o the_o service_n he_o be_v and_o either_o only_a look_n on_o or_o if_o they_o be_v very_o devout_a entertain_v themselves_o with_o some_o good_a pious_a thought_n or_o put_v up_o some_o private_a prayer_n to_o god_n or_o it_o may_v be_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n or_o some_o saint_n while_o the_o priest_n be_v say_v mass_n and_o thus_o the_o priest_n pray_v by_o himself_o and_o the_o people_n if_o they_o do_v pray_v pray_v by_o themselves_o and_o have_v no_o other_o benefit_n of_o the_o public_a office_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o to_o see_v what_o the_o priest_n do_v which_o at_o best_a can_v only_o fill_v they_o with_o some_o religious_a amusement_n or_o with_o confuse_a and_o indistinct_a and_o enthusiastic_a devotion_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o devotion_n of_o the_o people_n be_v leave_v to_o their_o own_o extempore_o conceit_n which_o be_v a_o

very_o pious_a thought_n and_o to_o excite_v very_o devout_a passion_n in_o their_o hearer_n and_o be_v it_o not_o very_o odd_a that_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v settle_v form_n of_o divine_a office_n compose_v form_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n who_o will_v pray_v must_v be_v leave_v to_o their_o extempore_o devotion_n be_v this_o also_o for_o the_o
