that_o which_o full_o clear_v this_o matter_n be_v that_o even_o the_o convert_a jew_n be_v extreme_o shy_a of_o let_v go_v any_o of_o their_o ritual_n though_o they_o have_v be_v better_o inform_v

and_o custom_n of_o their_o father_n they_o be_v so_o move_v loc_n vid._n bezam_n in_o loc_n at_o it_o that_o the_o brother_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v fain_o to_o advise_v he_o to_o purify_v himself_o and_o to_o satisfy_v they_o that_o he_o walk_v orderly_o and_o since_o they_o do_v so_o pertinacious_o insist_v upon_o punctilio_n can_v we_o conceive_v that_o they_o will_v not_o insist_v rather_o upon_o weighty_a matter_n will_v they_o suffer_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o their_o religion_n to_o be_v alter_v when_o they_o will_v not_o endure_v any_o part_n of_o it_o to_o be_v change_v or_o

it_o will_v have_v be_v conclude_v that_o their_o design_n be_v to_o make_v havoc_n of_o all_o religion_n and_o to_o turn_v the_o world_n upside_o down_o and_o such_o a_o rupture_n will_v have_v be_v make_v hereby_o that_o man_n will_v have_v crowd_v out_o of_o the_o church_n with_o great_a zeal_n than_o ever_o they_o go_v into_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unquestionable_o clear_a that_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o disciple_n do_v at_o their_o public_a and_o common_a assembly_n careful_o keep_v to_o that_o way_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v then_o establish_v which_o as_o have_v be_v

they_o meet_v together_o to_o perform_v such_o proper_a exercise_n of_o christianity_n as_o they_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o perform_v either_o in_o the_o temple_n or_o at_o the_o synagogue_n that_o these_o service_n be_v transact_v without_o premeditation_n and_o form_n be_v strong_o believe_v and_o confident_o assert_v by_o some_o and_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o their_o occasional_a

it_o will_v be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o use_n of_o set_a form_n now_o because_o the_o apostle_n be_v immediate_o inspire_v whereas_o those_o miraculous_a afflation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v cease_v long_o ago_o and_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o unpremeditated_a prayer_n be_v simple_o unlawful_a but_o whether_o they_o be_v so_o fit_a and_o convenient_a for_o the_o public_a since_o our_o want_n and_o weakness_n be_v so_o great_a and_o the_o best_a of_o we_o can_v pretend_v but_o to_o the_o ordinary_a assistance_n of_o god_n spirit_n upon_o our_o humane_a endeavour_n but_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o i_o be_o not_o at_o all_o satisfy_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o conceit_n that_o in_o the_o christian_a assembly_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o form_n or_o that_o their_o ordinary_a or_o stand_a service_n be_v perform_v whole_o by_o extemporaneous_a suggestion_n indeed_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o but_o little_a account_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o what_o be_v determine_v about_o it_o must_v be_v conclude_v by_o the_o help_n of_o reason_n and_o some_o collateral_a evidence_n to_o the_o point_n then_o the_o service_n of_o god_n consist_v of_o praise_n and_o prayer_n now_o that_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n have_v compose_v and_o set_v form_n of_o praise_v and_o glorify_v god_n seem_v high_o probable_a from_o 1_o cor._n 14._o 26._o where_o st._n paul_n say_v that_o when_o they_o come_v together_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v a_o psalm_n this_o be_v a_o general_a word_n

3._o 16._o now_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o these_o several_a way_n of_o extol_v god_n name_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o church_n on_o a_o sudden_a by_o the_o whole_a congregation_n rather_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o they_o come_v ready_o furnish_v with_o suitable_a form_n either_o with_o those_o which_o have_v be_v former_o compose_v by_o david_n or_o with_o some_o that_o have_v be_v late_o frame_v by_o man_n inspire_v or_o with_o both_o which_o be_v most_o likely_a for_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o move_v the_o prophet_n of_o old_a do_v breath_n upon_o the_o
