the_o infidel_n be_v free_a they_o likewise_o never_o be_v never_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n what_o a_o privilege_n than_o be_v that_o for_o the_o christian_a which_o be_v

though_o he_o be_v free_a yet_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v so_o much_o unto_o he_o god_n leave_v he_o in_o his_o time_n of_o ignorance_n wherein_o he_o be_v subject_a unto_o most_o miserable_a

who_o either_o use_v a_o other_o or_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o use_v this_o must_v be_v either_o ungodly_a or_o unfruitful_a but_o to_o the_o law_n to_o the_o testimony_n where_o there_o shall_v

to_o employ_v our_o gift_n that_o way_n by_o which_o they_o may_v profit_v but_o it_o be_v man_n only_o and_o not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o say_v they_o can_v only_o profit_v this_o way_n christ_n

sermon_n may_v be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o there_o if_o correction_n and_o instruction_n be_v the_o same_o with_o doctrine_n and_o use_n yet_o correction_n be_v put_v before_o instruction_n sometime_o the_o use_n be_v set_v before_o the_o doctrine_n in_o a_o word_n saint_n paul_n preach_v to_o his_o timothy_n that_o he_o shall_v preach_v the_o word_n be_v instant_a in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n here_o you_o see_v he_o bind_v he_o unto_o diligence_n but_o he_o leave_v he_o free_a to_o his_o own_o method_n and_o indeed_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o they_o who_o will_v have_v no_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n shall_v tie_v all_o to_o a_o set_v form_n to_o one_o set_v form_n of_o preach_v that_o they_o shall_v think_v the_o form_n a_o confine_n of_o the_o spirit_n though_o there_o be_v many_o form_n of_o they_o and_o this_o no_o confine_v where_o there_o be_v but_o one_o if_o any_o after_o so_o often_o instruction_n shall_v urge_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o instruction_n for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v only_o confute_v he_o by_o my_o practice_n i_o will_v use_v another_o form_n and_o so_o confirm_v that_o i_o be_v free_a again_o there_o be_v other_o that_o think_v themselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o hear_v two_o sermon_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n though_o some_o of_o they_o will_v scarce_o practice_v one_o of_o they_o in_o any_o day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o therefore_o if_o their_o minister_n preach_v not_o twice_o on_o that_o day_n they_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o hear_v a_o other_o but_o i_o desire_v these_o to_o direct_v i_o to_o the_o scripture_n where_o this_o be_v require_v of_o they_o it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o indeed_o to_o hear_v but_o how_o often_o
