we_o must_v no_o more_o use_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o water_n those_o necessary_a thing_n either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o instance_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n come_v not_o up_o full_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n for_o first_o now_o there_o be_v no_o possible_a use_n of_o it_o for_o that_o end_n to_o which_o at_o first_o god_n ordain_v it_o to_o be_v make_v num._n 21.8_o 9_o and_o god_n do_v never_o appoint_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v continue_v as_o a_o monument_n of_o that_o mercy_n again_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o miraculous_a cure_n once_o wrought_v upon_o those_o that_o look_v upon_o this_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v sufficient_o preserve_v in_o be_v register_v by_o moses_n god_n penman_n or_o secretary_n in_o the_o record_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o last_o hezekiah_n do_v remove_v and_o abolish_v this_o brazen_a serpent_n without_o sin_n but_o as_o for_o the_o lord_n prayer_n the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o in_o all_o these_o or_o the_o like_a particular_n it_o be_v now_o of_o use_n both_o as_o a_o pattern_n and_o as_o a_o prayer_n it_o be_v make_v a_o portion_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n must_v pass_v away_o rather_o than_o a_o jot_n or_o tittle_n of_o this_o prayer_n if_o this_o prayer_n shall_v be_v whole_o lay_v aside_o there_o be_v beside_o no_o such_o perfect_a complete_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o rule_v or_o touchstone_n of_o prayer_n as_o this_o extant_a in_o all_o the_o scripture_n and_o last_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a who_o shall_v blot_v this_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o he_o may_v just_o fear_v to_o have_v his_o name_n blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o be_v a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v &_o a_o rock_n of_o offence_n to_o many_o but_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v he_o be_v and_o be_v a_o choice_n stone_n a_o precious_a foundation_n corner_n stone_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o i_o say_v of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v a_o occasion_n of_o fall_n to_o some_o but_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o use_v it_o in_o faith_n it_o be_v precious_a and_o whoever_o so_o pray_v this_o prayer_n need_v never_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o obj._n many_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o their_o heart_n be_v dull_a dead_a or_o very_o formal_a as_o in_o the_o use_n of_o other_o form_n so_o of_o this_o also_o answ_n concern_v form_n in_o general_a i_o say_v as_o before_o that_o form_n of_o prayer_n be_v better_o than_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o and_o concern_v this_o prayer_n if_o our_o heart_n be_v dead_a in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o i_o dare_v say_v the_o fault_n be_v in_o we_o not_o in_o the_o prayer_n it_o may_v be_v our_o heart_n be_v dead_a at_o the_o read_n of_o a_o chapter_n what_o be_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o a_o dead_a letter_n and_o must_v it_o therefore_o cease_v in_o the_o church_n oh_o let_v we_o never_o accuse_v christ_n prayer_n or_o preach_v of_o deadness_n to_o excuse_v the_o sinful_a deadness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o pray_v in_o the_o garden_n thrice_o say_v the_o same_o word_n mat._n 26._o and_o with_o as_o much_o affection_n and_o devotion_n and_o life_n the_o last_o time_n as_o the_o first_o let_v we_o go_v and_o do_v likewise_o how_o be_v it_o that_o our_o devotion_n flag_n not_o that_o our_o heart_n wander_v not_o in_o the_o join_n with_o one_o that_o pray_v a_o conceive_a prayer_n for_o a_o quarter_n half_o a_o hour_n or_o more_o and_o yet_o can_v hold_v up_o or_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o duty_n for_o a_o moment_n or_o two_o whilst_o our_o lord_n own_o prayer_n be_v rehearse_v i_o shall_v rather_o think_v that_o if_o our_o heart_n have_v not_o be_v due_o affect_v or_o that_o there_o have_v be_v any_o error_n whilst_o the_o minister_n have_v be_v pray_v according_o to_o his_o ability_n that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o join_v in_o that_o perfect_a form_n with_o double_a with_o sevenfold_a diligence_n zeal_n and_o holy_a affection_n in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o be_v very_o commendable_a as_o both_o pious_a and_o prudent_a for_o in_o the_o general_a petition_n of_o this_o prayer_n be_v contain_v all_o the_o lawful_a particular_n both_o for_o the_o church_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o forego_n prayer_n but_o here_o i_o must_v enter_v my_o caveat_n i_o will_v not_o be_v interpret_v by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v for_o i_o do_v in_o no_o wise_a mean_v it_o god_n forbid_v to_o pour_v cold_a water_n upon_o any_o fervent_a or_o zealous_a desire_n whilst_o we_o join_v with_o other_o pray_v according_o to_o the_o gift_n pretend_v thereby_o to_o reserve_v all_o the_o heat_n and_o zeal_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o the_o offer_v up_o of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n nor_o do_v i_o mean_v far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o justify_v any_o irreverent_a gesture_n by-thought_n or_o loose_a and_o cold_a affection_n during_o the_o time_n the_o minister_n or_o other_o be_v exercise_v his_o gift_n in_o conceive_a prayer_n obj._n but_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o writing_n when_o they_o exhort_v to_o prayer_n and_o give_v rule_n and_o direction_n about_o it_o never_o recommend_v unto_o we_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n ans_fw-fr all_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v or_o say_v be_v not_o write_v sure_o i_o be_o they_o have_v give_v no_o rule_n or_o direction_n against_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a which_o some_o say_v that_o the_o evangelist_n luke_n have_v the_o gospel_n he_o write_v from_o the_o apostle_n paul_n it_o be_v some_o evidence_n that_o the_o apostle_n himself_o be_v not_o against_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n else_o probable_o he_o will_v not_o have_v tell_v he_o such_o word_n as_o these_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v etc._n etc._n without_o add_v some_o caution_n or_o interpretation_n to_o prevent_v mistake_n the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v sometime_o concern_v baptism_n but_o never_o treat_v of_o that_o form_n of_o word_n i_o baptize_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n what_o may_v we_o not_o therefore_o baptize_v in_o that_o form_n of_o word_n sure_o we_o may_v and_o mat._n 28.19_o shall_v be_v our_o sufficient_a warrant_n again_o the_o holy_a apostle_n col._n 3.16_o ephes_n 5.18_o 19_o james_n 5.13_o give_v order_n for_o and_o direction_n about_o sing_v of_o psalm_n but_o neither_o there_o nor_o elsewhere_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v to_o sing_v david_n psalm_n or_o what_o other_o psalm_n we_o shall_v sing_v do_v it_o thence_o follow_v we_o may_v not_o sing_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n or_o other_o spiritual_a song_n record_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o put_v the_o case_n that_o some_o christian_n in_o those_o day_n have_v say_v to_o the_o apostle_n paul_n teach_v we_o to_o sing_v psalm_n or_o teach_v we_o psalm_n to_o sing_v as_o david_n the_o sweet_a singer_n of_o israel_n of_o old_a teach_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o his_o answer_n to_o they_o have_v be_v in_o such_o word_n as_o these_o when_o you_o sing_v sing_v one_o of_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n one_o of_o those_o song_n of_o zion_n or_o else_o he_o himself_o have_v compose_v a_o psalm_n and_o add_v this_o preface_n to_o it_o or_o direction_n concern_v it_o when_o you_o sing_v sing_v after_o this_o manner_n or_o when_o you_o sing_v sing_v etc._n etc._n have_v not_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o ground_n thereupon_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o sing_v david_n psalm_n or_o that_o particular_a psalm_n so_o compose_v and_o subjoin_v by_o the_o apostle_n i_o believe_v it_o have_v and_o now_o if_o any_o ask_v how_o often_o we_o shall_v pray_v the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o this_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v leave_v this_o undetermined_a as_o also_o how_o oft_o we_o be_v to_o read_v the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n write_v by_o the_o evangelist_n matthew_n and_o this_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o the_o evangelist_n luke_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a chapter_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o also_o it_o be_v undetermined_a how_o oft_o we_o be_v to_o sing_v the_o 92._o psal_n entitle_v a_o psalm_n for_o the_o saboth_n day_n or_o any_o other_o psalm_n i_o find_v these_o thing_n leave_v to_o christian_a prudence_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v still_o leave_v they_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o bind_v man_n conscience_n wherein_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o free_a as_o for_o this_o i_o know_v of_o no_o commandment_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o herein_o i_o give_v my_o advice_n desire_v and_o pray_v for_o that_o mercy_n
