conceive_v your_o letter_n be_v mean_v as_o they_o be_v by_o the_o superscription_n direct_v to_o i_o only_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o direct_v you_o to_o some_o that_o be_v equal_o

with_o the_o state_n of_o a_o archdeacon_n to_o desire_v a_o account_n if_o he_o add_v exact_a account_n the_o great_a general_n will_v give_v order_n to_o his_o officer_n in_o as_o homble_v a_o

be_v prescribe_v by_o god_n and_o reject_v by_o we_o in_o this_o directory_n 2_o till_o you_o have_v answer_v our_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n and_o mr._n cotton_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o other_o you_o have_v no_o temptation_n to_o triumph_v unless_o you_o mean_v to_o triumph_v before_o the_o victory_n as_o that_o author_n do_v you_o shall_v not_o refer_v we_o to_o mr._n hooker_n now_o the_o

how_o will_v you_o prove_v it_o necessary_a that_o any_o whole_a entire_a set_a platform_n of_o liturgy_n shall_v be_v rigorous_o impose_v upon_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o these_o three_o kingdom_n of_o england_n &_o c_o be_v not_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o you_o do_v so_o passionate_o long_a after_o and_o earnest_o contend_v for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o much_o mistake_v and_o if_o it_o be_v let_v it_o be_v clear_o and_o undeniable_o prove_v 5_o in_o this_o last_o return_n i_o do_v not_o find_v you_o willing_a to_o own_o what_o your_o word_n seem_v to_o import_v that_o there_o be_v some_o necessity_n that_o the_o liturgy_n form_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n shall_v be_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n for_o you_o give_v the_o present_a church_n leave_v to_o

fit_a to_o the_o present_a church_n but_o sir_n if_o those_o apostolical_a man_n be_v extraordinary_o assist_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o compose_v that_o liturgy_n shall_v man_n of_o ordinary_a gift_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o pass_v a_o peremptory_a sentence_n for_o alter_v alienate_a exchange_v what_o be_v as_o you_o conceive_v compose_v by_o the_o extraordinary_a assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v by_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a blessing_n and_o providence_n preserve_v and_o transmit_v to_o posterity_n sir_n take_v your_o word_n according_a to_o your_o own_o interpretation_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o settle_v a_o ministry_n enable_v they_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o form_v a_o liturgy_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o minister_n may_v pray_v and_o intercede_v for_o their_o several_a congregation_n and_o you_o do_v certain_o decline_v if_o not_o studious_o the_o maintain_n of_o what_o you_o be_v engage_v to_o maintain_v by_o your_o view_n of_o the_o directory_n if_o a_o minister_n may_v pray_v as_o he_o ought_v in_o a_o congregation_n without_o the_o use_n of_o the_o liturgy_n which_o you_o say_v be_v form_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n then_o sure_a a_o minister_n may_v pray_v as_o he_o ought_v in_o the_o congregation_n without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o late_a common-prayer-book_n 6_o you_o name_v several_a liturgy_n which_o will_v you_o stand_v to_o and_o avouch_v that_o it_o be_v without_o any_o interpolation_n or_o corruption_n 7_o not_o to_o spend_v time_n about_o the_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o prayer_n you_o say_v there_o be_v some_o exercise_n of_o that_o gift_n and_o confess_v those_o exercise_n to_o be_v different_a from_o the_o set_a form_n you_o contend_v for_o sir_n be_v there_o no_o ordinary_a gift_n of_o prayer_n vouchsafe_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n shall_v not_o this_o ordinary_a gift_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o meditation_n and_o exercise_v in_o prayer_n shall_v not_o minister_n of_o christ_n give_v themselves_o to_o pray_v and_o study_v how_o to_o pray_v seasonable_o according_a to_o the_o several_a occasion_n administer_v by_o the_o various_a turn_n of_o god_n providence_n how_o do_v you_o prove_v that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v not_o ordinary_a wisdom_n to_o pray_v as_o he_o ought_v be_v call_v by_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n sure_o sir_n i_o think_v a_o minister_n shall_v study_v to_o pray_v seasonable_o as_o well_o as_o preach_v seasonable_o and_o if_o the_o primitive_a method_n and_o manner_n of_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o liturgy_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o st._n james_n and_o mark_v and_o have_v constant_o be_v suspect_v by_o learned_a man_n shall_v be_v rigorous_o impose_v upon_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n who_o have_v a_o ordinary_a gift_n of_o prayer_n nay_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n 8_o you_o mention_v the_o use_n of_o psalm_n and_o the_o lord_n prayer_n why_o sure_a sir_n you_o do_v view_v the_o directory_n very_o slight_o if_o you_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o order_n about_o the_o public_a read_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o frequent_a read_n of_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n we_o acknowledge_v the_o prayer_n which_o christ_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v of_o itself_o a_o most_o comprehensive_a prayer_n and_o not_o only_o a_o pattern_n of_o prayer_n and_o it_o be_v special_o recommend_v to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n if_o you_o please_v to_o call_v this_o a_o liturgy_n and_o it_o seem_v you_o can_v demonstrate_v no_o more_o do_v not_o complain_v that_o you_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o liturgy_n for_o now_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o that_o public_a divine_a service_n be_v the_o english_a of_o liturgy_n sure_o i_o be_o the_o parliament_n desire_v that_o our_o public_a service_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v most_o divine_a and_o orderly_a for_o their_o care_n have_v be_v to_o hold_v forth_o
