particular_o by_o st._n james_n unto_o which_o though_o some_o addition_n perhaps_o have_v be_v then_o make_v as_o there_o have_v be_v more_o since_o yet_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o think_v that_o a_o

the_o primitive_a time_n and_o all_o along_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reform_a time_n to_o luther_n and_o calvin_n be_v time_n still_o in_o all_o time_n the_o church_n have_v set_v form_n they_o

spirit_n be_v straighten_a and_o limit_v etc._n etc._n he_o answer_v as_o we_o do_v now_o that_o even_o those_o man_n that_o use_v this_o reason_n do_v the_o same_o daily_a in_o the_o congregation_n for_o when_o another_o pray_v that_o be_v a_o set_a form_n to_o he_o that_o hear_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n that_o a_o man_n may_v not_o use_v a_o set_a form_n because_o the_o spirit_n be_v straighten_a he_o shall_v not_o hear_v another_o pray_v at_o all_o though_o it_o be_v a_o conceive_a prayer_n because_o in_o that_o case_n his_o spirit_n be_v limit_v to_o what_o that_o man_n say_v and_o very_o judicious_o add_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bond_n or_o restraint_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o there_o be_v a_o tie_n of_o word_n for_o the_o

set_a form_n of_o prayer_n must_v be_v use_v will_v to_o god_n they_o that_o scruple_n it_o will_v weigh_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o it_o will_v not_o be_v long_o then_o before_o they_o like_v nay_o
