of_o odious_a rail_n a_o thing_n put_v among_o thing_n indifferent_a odious_a and_o rail_v and_o do_v i_o say_v you_o be_v ignorant_a in_o rail_v ignorant_a rail_a etc._n etc._n i_o refer_v myself_o

affirm_v that_o the_o extemporal_a prayer_n of_o any_o in_o these_o day_n be_v utter_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n secret_a inspiration_n which_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o to_o contrary_a the_o holy_a apostle_n which_o 8._o which_o rom._n 8._o say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n help_v our_o infirmity_n when_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v and_o if_o our_o prayer_n be_v not_o aid_v by_o god_n holy_a spirit_n they_o will_v not_o please_v god_n so_o that_o to_o charge_v he_o herewith_o be_v no_o

motion_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n inspire_v they_o but_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o charge_v he_o herewith_o but_o say_v that_o m._n cartwr_n do_v commend_v extemporal_a prayer_n as_o utter_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n secret_a inspiration_n which_o be_v true_a for_o whereas_o the_o author_n of_o the_o admonition_n do_v parliam_fw-la do_v admonit_a to_o the_o parliam_fw-la say_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o minister_n spowr_v forth_o hearty_a supplication_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o spirit_n move_v they_o m._n cartwright_n do_v take_v on_o he_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o admonition_n beside_o that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o hear_v m._n cartwright_n refuse_v to_o use_v extemporal_a prayer_n and_o i_o doubtnot_v but_o he_o think_v he_o pray_v by_o the_o motion_n or_o assistauce_n of_o god_n spirit_n yea_o and_o all_o the_o brotherhood_n as_o they_o be_v banish_v do_v use_v long_o extemporal_a prayer_n both_o before_o meat_n and_o after_o meat_n especial_o at_o great_a feast_n for_o than_o they_o make_v long_a prayer_n now_o they_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o pray_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n although_o indeed_o some_o of_o their_o speak_v do_v rather_o savour_v of_o the_o pot_n then_o of_o any_o goodness_n final_o all_o the_o baroist_n upon_o these_o foundation_n and_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o extemporal_a prayer_n have_v condemn_v all_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n which_o declare_v that_o they_o understand_v m._n cartwright_n as_o i_o do_v second_o he_o ask_v i_o in_o what_o time_n &_o place_n and_o in_o who_o hear_n he_o can_v scarce_o be_v induce_v to_o like_v of_o a_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n and_o say_v that_o if_o these_o circumstance_n have_v be_v set_v down_o the_o untruth_n of_o my_o allegation_n will_v have_v appear_v and_o that_o his_o continual_a practice_n in_o the_o ministry_n do_v witness_n against_o i_o wherein_o i_o can_v choose_v but_o wonder_n that_o he_o shall_v so_o much_o forget_v himself_o and_o wilful_o abuse_v his_o reader_n for_o first_o he_o may_v remember_v that_o the_o admonition_n which_o he_o take_v on_o he_o to_o defend_v do_v hold_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o minister_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o form_n of_o prayer_n invent_v by_o man_n and_o that_o my_o l._n of_o canterbury_n refute_v this_o error_n he_o go_v about_o to_o 106._o to_o 1._o reply_n p._n 106._o answer_v his_o reason_n and_o yield_v not_o till_o afterward_o so_o that_o it_o appear_v he_o be_v not_o easy_o induce_v he_o may_v also_o remember_v that_o he_o will_v reply_n will_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o first_o reply_n have_v all_o apostolical_a order_n now_o receive_v and_o use_v beside_o that_o his_o continual_a practice_n be_v to_o use_v no_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n but_o such_o as_o himself_o devise_v and_o so_o do_v the_o whole_a race_n of_o these_o sectary_n yea_o and_o so_o often_o time_n have_v they_o be_v hear_v to_o commend_v extemporal_a form_n and_o to_o dislike_v prescript_n form_n that_o i_o wonder_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o m._n cartwright_n shall_v here_o maintain_v the_o contrary_n but_o let_v we_o see_v his_o reason_n first_o say_v he_o my_o continual_a say_v continual_a a_o weak_a reason_n for_o his_o practice_n be_v not_o always_o according_a to_o his_o opinion_n and_o doctrine_n he_o be_v wont_a to_o speak_v against_o dispensation_n and_o non_fw-fr residence_n and_o yet_o now_o be_v none_o resident_a from_o his_o charge_n and_o pray_v to_o be_v dispense_v with_o as_o they_o say_v practice_n in_o the_o ministry_n do_v witness_n against_o it_o a_o matter_n notorious_o untrue_a for_o as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o cambridge_n he_o pray_v as_o it_o please_v himself_o and_o use_v form_n by_o himself_o devise_v and_o so_o like_o wise_a do_v all_o his_o follower_n and_o those_o have_v i_o hear_v most_o commend_v which_o preach_v continual_o yet_o every_o day_n use_v new_a form_n and_o albeit_o m._n cartwright_n do_v read_v prayer_n at_o antwerp_n and_o middleborough_n out_o of_o the_o book_n as_o he_o say_v yet_o that_o do_v not_o show_v that_o those_o prayer_n be_v prescribe_v to_o he_o neither_o be_v his_o form_n of_o prayer_n at_o warwick_n such_o as_o this_o church_n of_o england_n prescribe_v but_o such_o as_o himself_o devise_v yea_o although_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n yet_o in_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v not_o to_o he_o prescribe_v as_o he_o say_v it_o i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o judge_v what_o a_o heinous_a slander_n this_o be_v to_o say_v that_o m._n cartwright_n scarce_o can_v be_v induce_v when_o time_n be_v to_o like_v of_o a_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n when_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o show_v that_o either_o by_o doctrine_n or_o example_n he_o approve_v prayer_n public_o prescribe_v nor_o will_v ever_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o thus_o much_o be_v sufficient_a for_o answer_v of_o his_o slander_n suppose_v to_o be_v publish_v by_o i_o against_o he_o concern_v breach_n of_o necessary_a duty_n wherein_o it_o may_v clear_o appear_v that_o either_o he_o do_v lewd_o collect_v that_o which_o be_v not_o mean_v or_o seek_v to_o shun_v that_o which_o can_v be_v avoid_v do_v you_o ever_o before_o this_o hear_v of_o a_o man_n so_o slander_v with_o

of_o slander_n concern_v matter_n indifferent_a the_o which_o be_v as_o strange_a as_o the_o other_o so_o strange_a be_v they_o both_o that_o in_o no_o good_a author_n i_o ever_o read_v the_o like_a

i_o trust_v he_o will_v not_o count_v slander_n both_o for_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v out_o of_o his_o division_n and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a and_o true_a that_o he_o rail_v
