wherein_o can_v we_o better_o express_v that_o to_o god_n than_o in_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o he_o so_o that_o in_o all_o reason_n the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v reserve_v as_o

in_o order_n to_o our_o happiness_n to_o be_v a_o true_a sacrifice_n and_o let_v any_o man_n judge_n whether_o this_o description_n do_v not_o so_o natural_o agree_v to_o prayer_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v only_o intend_v for_o it_o beside_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o sacrifice_n of_o old_a be_v solemn_a rite_n of_o supplication_n 25._o and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n

be_v that_o latria_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n 3_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n that_o the_o heathen_a do_v give_v divine_a honour_n to_o their_o inferior_a deity_n those_o in_o the_o roman_a

the_o church_n good_a which_o we_o can_v think_v any_o since_o they_o can_v exceed_v they_o in_o these_o thing_n be_v suppose_v we_o be_v only_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o deliver_v his_o sense_n in_o our_o present_a subject_n viz._n that_o prayer_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n it_o seem_v somewhat_o hard_o to_o we_o to_o be_v put_v to_o prove_v a_o matter_n so_o evident_a from_o st._n paul_n discourse_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o we_o can_v not_o imagine_v any_o will_v go_v about_o to_o reconcile_v prayer_n

be_v child_n or_o mad_a man_n can_v they_o imagine_v god_n give_v they_o these_o gift_n of_o tongue_n to_o make_v uncouth_a and_o insignificant_a sound_n with_o where_o the_o people_n be_v meet_v

to_o be_v speak_v only_o of_o instruction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o not_o of_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o that_o the_o case_n be_v not_o alike_o in_o both_o these_o he_o add_v if_o i_o pray_v in_o
