this_o much_o shall_v go_v far_o towards_o our_o concord_n but_o alas_o all_o agree_v not_o what_o piety_n be_v or_o what_o popery_n be_v nor_o of_o the_o way_n to_o our_o end_n if_o he_o think_v

such_o desire_n in_o act_n and_o habit_n must_v be_v wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n be_v a_o give_v to_o the_o

spirit_n will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o for_o he_o promise_v to_o pour_v out_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n and_o because_o we_o be_v son_n he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n by_o which_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n and_o this_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n in_o prayer_n if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o papist_n bible_n i_o hope_v they_o be_v not_o therefore_o popery_n i_o suppose_v the_o

and_o trust_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o entercession_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v in_o hope_n 4._o to_o give_v we_o thankful_a heart_n for_o what_o we_o do_v receive_v and_o fit_a with_o joy_n to_o praise_v the_o giver_n 5._o to_o stir_v up_o all_o these_o disposition_n to_o particular_a act_n in_o the_o due_a season_n and_o to_o save_v we_o from_o the_o contrary_n 6._o and_o we_o believe_v that_o a_o mind_n so_o illuminate_v and_o affection_n so_o sanctify_v and_o kindle_v have_v a_o great_a advantage_n above_o other_o coeteris_fw-la paribus_fw-la to_o express_v themselves_o in_o word_n for._n 1._o a_o man_n that_o know_v what_o to_o say_v can_v speak_v it_o when_o the_o ignorant_a can_v do_v not_o a_o stock_n of_o knowledge_n enable_v you_o to_o preach_v without_o book_n 2._o such_o a_o soul_n will_v set_v itself_o diligent_o to_o think_v what_o and_o how_o to_o speak_v in_o so_o great_a a_o business_n when_o the_o careless_a mind_n it_o not_o 3._o love_n and_o delight_n be_v very_o speedy_a learner_n 4._o fervent_a desire_n set_v all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n a-work_o and_o be_v full_a and_o forward_o to_o express_v itself_o hunger_n can_v teach_v man_n easy_o to_o beg_v poor_a man_n speak_v entreaty_n anger_n joy_n every_o passion_n make_v and_o pour_v out_o word_n where_o there_o be_v prerequisite_a ability_n 4._o we_o believe_v that_o he_o who_o by_o natural_a defectiveness_n or_o difuse_n can_v find_v word_n fit_o to_o utter_v his_o own_o mind_n may_v have_v the_o help_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o utter_v such_o word_n as_o he_o read_v or_o learn_v of_o other_o and_o especial_o in_o the_o case_n of_o psalm_n which_o be_v not_o of_o sudden_a invention_n if_o for_o concord_n the_o church_n agree_v to_o use_v the_o same_o meet_a word_n god_n spirit_n may_v actuate_v their_o desire_n therein_o 5._o we_o hold_v that_o this_o holy_a spirit_n be_v as_o tertullian_n speak_v christ_n vicar_n agent_n or_o advocate_n by_o prevent_v operate_v cooperate_a grace_n thus_o to_o illuminate_v sanctify_v and_o actuate_v believer_n in_o all_o holy_a work_n and_o especial_o in_o prayer_n and_o i_o can_v hearty_o wish_v that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v against_o so_o much_o as_o spiritual_a preach_v spiritual_a write_n and_o dispute_v and_o live_v and_o not_o say_v that_o the_o jesuit_n bring_v they_o in_o 6._o i_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v baptise_a into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v thus_o christ_n agent_n for_o all_o this_o work_n upon_o our_o soul_n and_o covenant_v to_o obey_v he_o 7._o i_o believe_v that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n especial_o deride_v or_o reproach_v his_o great_a work_n miraculous_a or_o sanctife_v have_v a_o dangerous_a malignity_n 8._o i_o suppose_v that_o in_o all_o this_o the_o faculty_n of_o man_n own_o soul_n be_v the_o natural_a recipient_n of_o the_o spirit_n influx_n and_o agent_n of_o the_o act_n which_o both_o cause_n effect_v and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o vain_a a_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o by_o natural_a faculty_n that_o we_o pray_v aright_o as_o whether_o it_o be_v god_n as_o fons_fw-la naturae_fw-la or_o man_n natural_a power_n which_o cause_n our_o natural_a act_n or_o whether_o the_o act_n of_o see_v be_v from_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o eye_n as_o if_o the_o same_o effect_n may_v not_o yea_o must_v not_o have_v a_o suprior_n and_o inferior_a cause_n 9_o therefore_o as_o go_n spirit_n witness_v with_o we_o that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n so_o god_n spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n in_o prayer_n suspend_v not_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o spirit_n or_o make_v our_o reason_n and_o consideration_n needless_a but_o actuate_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n learn_v and_o study_v how_o to_o pray_v be_v consistent_a with_o the_o spirit_n help_v in_o prayer_n 10_o i_o never_o talk_v of_o it_o with_o any_o nonconformist_n who_o deny_v that_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v without_o any_o special_a help_n of_o the_o spirit_n speak_v all_o the_o same_o word_n in_o prayer_n without_o either_o book_n
