of_o act_n of_o positive_a worship_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o prayer_n the_o magistrate_n can_v enforce_v a_o man_n to_o pray_v to_o his_o god_n and_o punish_v he_o for_o not_o do_v it_o these_o

if_o we_o understand_v matter_n of_o religion_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n than_o we_o mean_v that_o all_o state_n and_o society_n of_o man_n ought_v in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n to_o be_v

whether_o a_o christian_a may_v come_v under_o a_o obligation_n by_o vow_n or_o resolution_n to_o use_v a_o set-form_n of_o prayer_n as_o before_o explain_v 2._o whether_o he_o may_v suffer_v himself_o to_o come_v under_o any_o such_o obligation_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o law_n make_v by_o any_o pretend_v authority_n thereunto_o §_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o first_o we_o shall_v assert_v and_o confirm_v the_o negative_a that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o put_v himself_o under_o any_o such_o obligation_n by_o his_o own_o vow_n or_o covenant_n or_o i_o may_v add_v by_o his_o customary_a and_o constant_a abide_n therein_o which_o do_v in_o effect_n amount_v to_o a_o covenant-tye_a if_o such_o a_o tie_n be_v lawful_a it_o be_v either_o as_o a_o thing_n necessary_a or_o indifferent_a for_o all_o lawful_a thing_n be_v so_o 1._o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a as_o a_o thing_n necessary_a will_n be_v easy_o grant_v because_o none_o will_v say_v that_o be_v protestant_n that_o a_o christian_n be_v necessary_o bind_v to_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n by_o the_o positive_a command_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o do_v let_v it_o be_v show_v where_o christ_n do_v require_v any_o so_o to_o oblige_v himself_o or_o condemn_v any_o for_o not_o do_v it_o or_o let_v he_o allege_v any_o scriptural_a example_n where_o any_o have_v do_v it_o especial_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o suppose_v we_o need_v not_o stay_v on_o that_o part_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o disjunction_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o as_o a_o indifferency_n to_o bind_v up_o himself_o to_o such_o a_o form_n i_o prove_v thus_o all_o christian_a indifferent_a action_n of_o concern_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o christ_n aught_o to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o discretion_n according_a to_o the_o gospel-rule_n of_o expediency_n pro_fw-la hic_fw-la &_o nunc_fw-la but_o to_o lay_v one_o self_n under_o such_o a_o obligation_n will_v hinder_v he_o from_o walk_v by_o such_o

that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o he_o to_o come_v under_o such_o a_o obligation_n the_o ratio_fw-la formalis_fw-la must_v be_v because_o he_o can_v compose_v another_o prayer_n or_o pray_v by_o
