man_n have_v not_o only_o the_o first_o fruit_n but_o the_o elder_a brother_n share_n a_o double_a portion_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o be_v not_o only_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o needs_o to_o which_o a_o single_a and_o a_o ordinary_a portion_n will_v have_v be_v then_o as_o now_o abundant_o sufficient_a but_o also_o to_o serve_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o succession_n and_o to_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d if_o i_o pray_v in_o a_o tongue_n my_o spirit_n pray_v but_o my_o understanding_n be_v without_o fruit_n what_o then_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o

also_o observe_v in_o pass_v by_o if_o saint_n paul_n do_v so_o undervalue_v the_o pray_n with_o the_o spirit_n that_o he_o prefer_v edify_v the_o church_n a_o thousand_o degree_n beyond_o it_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n if_o the_o question_n have_v be_v between_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o obey_v our_o superior_n as_o he_o be_v when_o it_o be_v between_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n because_o if_o i_o be_v not_o mistake_v it_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a concernment_n towards_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n to_o obey_v our_o superior_n not_o to_o innovate_v in_o public_a form_n of_o worship_n especial_o with_o the_o scandal_n and_o offence_n of_o very_a wise_a and_o learned_a man_n and_o to_o the_o disgrace_n of_o the_o dead_a martyr_n who_o seal_v our_o liturgy_n with_o their_o blood_n sect._n 45._o but_o to_o return_v in_o this_o place_n pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n beside_o the_o assistance_n give_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o speak_v in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n be_v no_o more_o than_o my_o spirit_n pray_v that_o be_v it_o imply_v my_o co-operation_n with_o the_o

collateral_a assistance_n for_o so_o saint_n paul_n join_v they_o as_o term_n identical_a and_o expressive_a one_o of_o another_o meaning_n as_o you_o may_v please_v to_o read_v ver_fw-la 14._o and_o 15._o 1_o cor._n 14._o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o my_o spirit_n true_o pray_v it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o our_o inner_a man_n pray_v holy_a and_o spiritual_a prayer_n but_o then_o indeed_o at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v something_o extraordinary_a adjoin_v for_o it_o be_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n the_o practice_n of_o which_o saint_n paul_n there_o dislike_v this_o also_o will_v be_v to_o none_o of_o their_o purpose_n for_o whether_o it_o be_v ex_fw-la tempore_fw-la or_o by_o premeditation_n be_v not_o here_o express_v or_o if_o it_o have_v yet_o that_o assistance_n

the_o speak_a tongue_n in_o the_o spirit_n or_o prophesy_v ex_fw-la tempore_fw-la and_o by_o the_o spirit_n sect._n 46._o but_o i_o will_v add_v also_o one_o experiment_n which_o saint_n paul_n also_o there_o add_v by_o way_n of_o instance_n if_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o place_n be_v pray_v ex_fw-la tempore_fw-la then_o so_o be_v sing_v too_o for_o they_o be_v express_v in_o the_o same_o place_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n to_o the_o same_o end_n and_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o there_o shall_v be_v differ_v sense_n put_v upon_o they_o to_o serve_v purpose_n and_o now_o let_v we_o have_v some_o church_n music_n too_o though_o the_o organ_n be_v pull_v down_o and_o let_v any_o the_o best_a psalmist_n of_o they_o all_o compose_v a_o hymn_n in_o metrical_a form_n as_o

his_o law_n what_o unfitting_a mean_n and_o sinful_a progression_n be_v make_v to_o arrive_v thither_o what_o criminal_a and_o undecent_a circumstance_n what_o degree_n of_o consent_n and_o approach_n to_o a_o perfect_a choice_n what_o vicious_a hope_n and_o vile_a fear_n what_o expense_n of_o time_n and_o misemployed_n passion_n be_v in_o one_o act_n of_o fornication_n or_o murder_n oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a or_o subornation_n of_o witness_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o proportion_n will_v be_v too_o little_a to_o oppose_v but_o one_o act_n of_o virtue_n against_o all_o these_o evil_n especial_o since_o a_o act_n of_o virtue_n as_o we_o order_v our_o affair_n be_v much_o more_o single_a than_o a_o act_n of_o vice_n be_v 47._o vi_o every_o single_a act_n of_o vice_n may_v and_o must_v be_v repent_v of_o particular_o if_o it_o be_v a_o wilful_a deliberate_a and_o observe_v action_n a_o general_a repentance_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n in_o these_o case_n when_o a_o man_n have_v forget_v the_o particular_n he_o must_v make_v it_o up_o as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v this_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o a_o delay_a repentance_n it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o it_o be_v imperfect_a and_o lame_a general_a and_o unactive_a it_o will_v need_v art_n of_o supply_n and_o collateral_a remedy_n and_o reflex_n action_n of_o sorrow_n and_o what_o the_o effect_n will_v be_v be_v in_o many_o degree_n uncertain_a but_o if_o it_o be_v speedy_a and_o particular_a the_o remedy_n be_v the_o more_o easy_a the_o more_o ready_a and_o the_o more_o certain_a but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v overtake_v in_o a_o fault_n he_o must_v be_v restore_v again_o as_o to_o that_o particular_a for_o by_o that_o he_o transgress_v there_o he_o be_v smite_v and_o wound_v in_o that_o instance_n the_o habit_n begin_v and_o at_o that_o door_n the_o divine_a judgement_n may_v enter_v for_o his_o anger_n be_v there_o already_o for_o although_o god_n pardon_v all_o sin_n or_o none_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o final_a sentence_n and_o eternal_a pain_n yet_o god_n strike_v particular_a sin_n with_o proper_a and_o specific_a punishment_n in_o this_o life_n which_o if_o they_o be_v not_o divert_v by_o proper_a application_n may_v break_v we_o all_o in_o piece_n and_o therefore_o david_n repentance_n be_v particular_o apply_v to_o his_o special_a case_n of_o murder_n and_o

the_o advantage_n of_o his_o first_o shame_n and_o regret_n and_o in_o the_o activity_n of_o that_o passion_n let_v he_o design_n some_o fast_a day_n as_o the_o solemnity_n of_o his_o repentance_n which_o he_o must_v employ_v in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n in_o detestation_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o judge_v condemn_a and_o execute_v sentence_n upon_o himself_o and_o in_o all_o the_o action_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v the_o part_n and_o fruit_n of_o this_o duty_n according_a as_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o describe_v in_o their_o proper_a place_n 49._o these_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o repentance_n for_o single_a act_n of_o deliberate_a sin_n when_o they_o have_v no_o other_o appendage_n or_o proper_a consideration_n but_o there_o be_v some_o act_n of_o sin_n which_o by_o several_a way_n and_o measure_n pass_v into_o habit_n direct_o or_o by_o equivalency_n and_o moral_a value_n for_o 1._o the_o repetition_n of_o act_n and_o proceed_n in_o the_o same_o crime_n be_v a_o perfect_a habit_n which_o as_o it_o rise_v high_a to_o obstinacy_n to_o perseverance_n to_o resolution_n never_o to_o repent_v to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n to_o final_a impenitence_n so_o it_o be_v still_o more_o kill_v and_o damnable_a 2._o if_o a_o man_n sin_n often_o in_o several_a instance_n it_o be_v a_o habit_n proper_o so_o call_v for_o although_o the_o instance_n be_v single_a yet_o the_o disobedience_n and_o disaffection_n be_v unite_v and_o habitual_a 3._o when_o a_o single_a act_n of_o sin_n be_v do_v and_o the_o guilt_n remain_v not_o rescind_v by_o repentance_n that_o act_n which_o natural_o be_v but_o single_a yet_o moral_o be_v habitual_a of_o these_o i_o shall_v give_v account_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n where_o they_o be_v of_o proper_a consideration_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o three_o way_n more_o by_o which_o single_a act_n do_v become_v habit_n by_o equivalency_n and_o moral_a value_n and_o be_v here_o to_o be_v consider_v according_o 50._o viii_o first_o if_o a_o single_a act_n of_o sin_n have_v a_o permanent_a matter_n so_o long_o as_o that_o matter_n remain_v the_o sin_n be_v uncancel_v of_o this_o nature_n be_v theft_n which_o can_v be_v

this_o i_o shall_v afterward_o give_v account_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o take_v away_o so_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v so_o long_o there_o be_v a_o
