same_o form_n of_o word_n without_o receive_v it_o the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o to_o plead_v for_o use_v a_o new_a form_n or_o method_n of_o word_n in_o prayer_n every_o time_n that_o man_n pray_v be_v as_o improper_a and_o impertinent_a as_o to_o plead_v that_o every_o time_n we_o eat_v we_o must_v have_v a_o new_a dish_n or_o platter_n to_o eat_v out_o of_o and_o every_o time_n we_o drink_v we_o must_v have_v a_o new_a cup_n to_o drink_v out_o of_o and_o if_o every_o day_n yea_o as_o oft_o every_o day_n as_o we_o pray_v we_o must_v use_v a_o new_a extempore_o form_n we_o may_v as_o well_o plead_v every_o day_n we_o must_v several_a time_n each_o day_n put_v on_o new_a shoe_n and_o new_a apparel_n which_o as_o it_o will_v be_v great_a waste_n so_o will_v it_o be_v very_o uneasy_a the_o method_n of_o word_n in_o prayer_n whether_o extempore_o or_o in_o a_o set_a form_n be_v as_o remote_a a_o accident_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o prayer_n either_o for_o matter_n or_o life_n as_o a_o dish_n or_o a_o platter_n be_v to_o the_o meat_n put_v into_o it_o or_o a_o cup_n to_o the_o drink_n that_o be_v in_o it_o the_o same_o meat_n may_v be_v as_o good_a as_o when_o put_v into_o another_o dish_n and_o the_o drink_n as_o good_a as_o in_o another_o cup_n and_o as_o several_a habit_n of_o garment_n may_v suit_v the_o same_o person_n so_o several_a form_n of_o prayer_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o external_a form_n may_v suit_v the_o same_o prayer_n both_o as_o to_o matter_n and_o life_n as_o grace_n do_v sometime_o cause_v a_o variety_n in_o our_o word_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o matter_n be_v the_o same_o so_o mere_a humane_a art_n can_v and_o do_v most_o frequent_o cause_v a_o variety_n for_o by_o mere_a humane_a art_n six_o word_n can_v be_v vary_v some_o hundred_o of_o time_n and_o yet_o the_o matter_n remain_v the_o same_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o great_a mistake_n in_o many_o who_o think_v they_o who_o pray_v in_o great_a variety_n of_o word_n and_o mode_n of_o expression_n they_o pray_v most_o by_o the_o spirit_n or_o with_o grace_n for_o as_o it_o can_v be_v do_v by_o mere_a art_n without_o grace_n so_o it_o frequent_o be_v so_o do_v and_o thereby_o many_o be_v great_o deceive_v especial_o when_o it_o be_v varnish_v with_o great_a seem_a show_n of_o fervour_n by_o gesture_n and_o tone_n that_o move_v and_o stir_v the_o natural_a and_o animal_n passion_n and_o affection_n but_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v hear_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n object_v by_o some_o against_o the_o matter_n of_o common_a prayer_n 1._o where_o the_o people_n say_v there_o be_v no_o health_n in_o we_o but_o that_o be_v no_o more_o offensive_a than_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o direct_v his_o step_n i._n e._n it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n as_o of_o himself_o but_o of_o the_o lord_n so_o there_o be_v no_o health_n in_o we_o nor_o in_o any_o man_n but_o what_o be_v of_o god_n and_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o original_o but_o by_o derivation_n and_o participation_n from_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o who_o all_o fullness_n dwell_v and_o of_o who_o fullness_n we_o all_o receive_v and_o grace_n for_o grace_n 2._o that_o they_o still_o be_v pray_v from_o seven_o to_o seventy_o lord_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o miserable_a offender_n but_o this_o i_o think_v be_v only_o make_v by_o the_o quaker_n all_o other_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o consequent_o as_o in_o themselves_o miserable_a and_o continual_o need_v god_n mercy_n for_o as_o st._n james_n say_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o and_o as_o st._n john_n say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n etc._n etc._n the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n have_v confess_v their_o sin_n and_o the_o holy_a man_n have_v do_v so_o as_o daniel_n esdras_n etc._n etc._n the_o great_a remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o most_o solemn_a and_o public_a manner_n be_v reserve_v to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o great_a day_n of_o assize_n what_o remission_n the_o best_a now_o have_v be_v but_o like_o the_o criminal_n pardon_n from_o the_o king_n that_o he_o have_v by_o himself_o in_o secret_a that_o be_v not_o so_o authentic_a till_o it_o be_v proclaim_v in_o open_a court_n at_o the_o assize_n 3._o some_o object_n against_o that_o expression_n in_o the_o common_a prayer_n we_o be_v tie_v and_o bind_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o i_o think_v none_o of_o the_o dissenter_n the_o quaker_n except_v can_v well_o so_o object_n many_o of_o who_o common_o in_o their_o prayer_n say_v they_o must_v carry_v about_o with_o they_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n to_o the_o grave_a which_o i_o think_v be_v more_o than_o what_o be_v here_o object_v against_o i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o safe_a and_o warrantable_a according_a to_o scripture_n to_o say_v that_o some_o remainder_n of_o sin_n remain_v in_o the_o faithful_a especial_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o original_a defilement_n by_o adam_n fall_n as_o also_o with_o respect_n to_o some_o remain_a part_n of_o those_o habit_n of_o sin_n we_o have_v contract_v by_o our_o actual_a transgression_n than_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n remain_v in_o they_o if_o they_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n or_o complex_n of_o vicious_a habit_n contract_v by_o actual_a sin_n which_o the_o saint_n be_v say_v to_o have_v put_v off_o by_o regeneration_n as_o when_o the_o body_n or_o bulk_n of_o a_o great_a tree_n be_v cut_v down_o with_o its_o

suppress_v and_o subdue_v will_v spring_v up_o again_o to_o which_o that_o in_o hebr._n 12._o 15._o seem_v plain_o to_o refer_v and_o with_o respect_n to_o such_o a_o remain_a part_n root_n or_o seed_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v say_v by_o st._n john_n 1_o john_n 1._o 8._o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o this_o remainder_n of_o sin_n god_n have_v see_v meet_a to_o suffer_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o faithful_a though_o he_o pardon_v the_o gild_n of_o it_o and_o have_v promise_v to_o give_v they_o sufficiency_n of_o his_o grace_n whereby_o still_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o mortify_v and_o subdue_v it_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o both_o their_o faith_n and_o all_o other_o their_o grace_n and_o virtue_n in_o the_o way_n of_o spiritual_a conflict_n and_o warfare_n against_o three_o grand_a enemy_n the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n that_o so_o through_o the_o victory_n that_o the_o faithful_a obtain_v by_o the_o victorious_a power_n of_o god_n grace_n their_o reward_n may_v be_v the_o great_a which_o yet_o be_v

that_o sin_n either_o in_o less_o or_o more_o be_v any_o proper_a cause_n of_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o virtue_n yet_o as_o in_o natural_a effect_n one_o natural_a agent_n common_o work_v the_o
