in_o other_o word_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v they_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o pray_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n though_o they_o use_v not_o the_o same_o word_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n give_v his_o disciple_n a_o form_n or_o pattern_n to_o direct_v they_o how_o to_o pray_v and_o bid_v they_o pray_v after_o that_o manner_n that_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o matt._n 6.9_o after_o this_o manner_n therefore_o pray_v you_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o find_v some_o of_o their_o prayer_n record_v as_o act._n 1.24_o 25._o act_n 4.23_o yet_o in_o neither_o of_o these_o nor_o any_o other_o place_n do_v we_o read_v that_o they_o use_v that_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n teach_v they_o but_o their_o prayer_n be_v put_v up_o to_o god_n in_o other_o word_n now_o i_o will_v demand_v of_o these_o informer_n do_v the_o apostle_n transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n and_o pray_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o christ_n direct_v when_o they_o use_v not_o that_o form_n of_o word_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n but_o pray_v in_o other_o word_n i_o suppose_v they_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o say_v the_o apostle_n transgress_v the_o command_n and_o pray_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o he_o enjoin_v they_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o audacious_a as_o to_o charge_v the_o apostle_n with_o the_o breach_n of_o christ_n command_n for_o pray_v in_o other_o word_n they_o may_v be_v refute_v from_o that_o gracious_a answer_n which_o god_n give_v to_o their_o prayer_n by_o fill_v they_o all_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o they_o have_v pray_v to_o he_o act._n 4.31_o if_o they_o will_v grant_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o pray_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o christ_n direct_v though_o they_o use_v other_o word_n and_o so_o be_v no_o transgressor_n of_o christ_n command_n then_o i_o reply_v why_o then_o do_v these_o informer_n persecute_v and_o persecute_v these_o minister_n as_o transgressor_n of_o this_o act_n pretend_v that_o in_o their_o meeting_n they_o pray_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n when_o all_o that_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v a_o prayer_n acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v find_v in_o these_o man_n prayer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o prayer_n in_o the_o liturgy_n these_o man_n prayer_n be_v offer_v up_o to_o the_o same_o god_n by_o the_o same_o mediator_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n for_o thing_n agreeable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o prayer_n prescribe_v in_o the_o liturgy_n but_o beside_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o there_o may_v be_v one_o thing_n more_o add_v which_o will_v exempt_v these_o man_n from_o be_v guilty_a of_o exercise_v any_o act_n of_o religion_n in_o other_o manner_n than_o according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n include_v all_o those_o portion_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v for_o the_o first_o and_o second_o lesion_n for_o the_o morning_n and_o evening_n service_n throughout_o the_o whole_a year_n together_o with_o what_o be_v read_v for_o the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n and_o whatever_o religious_a exercise_n be_v allow_v of_o by_o these_o by_o those_o portion_n of_o scripture_n appoint_v to_o be_v read_v by_o the_o liturgy_n for_o the_o morning_n or_o evening_n service_n that_o religious_a exercise_n be_v not_o perform_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o if_o all_o those_o portion_n of_o scripture_n be_v part_n of_o the_o liturgy_n which_o i_o suppose_v none_o will_v deny_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a prove_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o do_v at_o these_o assembly_n but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n use_v in_o the_o liturgy_n i_o will_v touch_v but_o upon_o one_o or_o two_o place_n on_o july_n the_o 18_o for_o the_o second_o lesson_n at_o the_o evening_n service_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v 1_o tim._n 2._o and_o there_o pray_v in_o house_n and_o in_o every_o other_o place_n be_v allow_v of_o as_o well_o as_o in_o temple_n so_o it_o be_v do_v in_o a_o holy_a manner_n v._o 8_o i_o will_v therefore_o that_o man_n pray_v every_o where_o lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n without_o wrath_n and_o doubt_v and_o june_n the_o 30_o for_o the_o second_o lesson_n be_v appoint_v eph._n 6_o and_o there_o the_o apostle_n allow_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n v._o 18_o pray_v always_o with_o all_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n in_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n at_o what_o time_n or_o place_n soever_o it_o be_v make_v if_o it_o be_v prayer_n in_o the_o spirit_n be_v allow_v by_o the_o scripture_n appoint_v to_o be_v read_v by_o the_o liturgy_n and_o so_o be_v not_o in_o other_o manner_n than_o according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n many_o more_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v to_o prove_v the_o religious_a exercise_n of_o these_o man_n to_o be_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n prescribe_v to_o be_v read_v by_o the_o liturgy_n but_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o these_o man_n exercise_n of_o religion_n be_v in_o other_o manner_n than_o according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o they_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o the_o former_a clause_n which_o as_o before_o explain_v be_v for_o their_o advantage_n though_o make_v use_v of_o to_o suppress_v they_o yet_o they_o have_v protection_n from_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n as_o i_o conceive_v by_o this_o clause_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o clear_v this_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v 1._o what_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o best_a way_n to_o know_v this_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n declare_v in_o the_o 39_o article_n and_o there_o the_o church_n be_v thus_o define_v art_n 19_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o congregation_n of_o faithful_a man_n in_o the_o which_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v due_o administer_v according_a to_o christ_n ordinance_n and_o in_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o of_o necessity_n be_v requisite_a to_o the_o same_o and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a description_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o they_o that_o own_o the_o article_n i_o think_v shall_v not_o deny_v then_o these_o nonconformist_n be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o they_o be_v faithful_a man_n man_n that_o believe_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v mean_v by_o faithful_a man_n in_o their_o congregation_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v in_o truth_n and_o purity_n the_o sacrament_n be_v due_o administer_v according_a to_o christ_n ordinance_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o of_o necessity_n be_v requisite_a to_o the_o same_o if_o these_o nonconformist_n be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n how_o and_o when_o and_o by_o who_o be_v they_o excommunicate_v and_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n if_o any_o say_v they_o do_v not_o comply_v with_o the_o discipline_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v 1._o in_o that_o definition_n which_o be_v give_v of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o 19_o article_n there_o be_v nothing_o mention_v of_o the_o discipline_n or_o ceremony_n as_o mr._n rogers_n observe_v in_o his_o exposition_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n dedicate_v to_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n his_o word_n be_v these_o some_o and_o they_o many_o of_o they_o very_o godly_a man_n add_v ecclesiastical_a discipline_n for_o a_o note_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n but_o because_o the_o say_a discipline_n in_o part_n be_v include_v in_o the_o mark_n here_o mention_v both_o we_o and_o in_o effect_n all_o well-ordered_a church_n over-pass_a it_o in_o this_o place_n as_o not_o take_v simple_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n 2._o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o found_v upon_o the_o ceremony_n or_o the_o discipline_n but_o it_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v the_o chief_a corner_n stone_n and_o upon_o this_o foundation_n do_v these_o nonconformist_a minister_n build_v as_o well_o as_o the_o conformable_a clergy_n and_o therefore_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o if_o the_o nonconformist_n be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n how_o can_v these_o
