thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o nor_o be_v it_o without_o reason_n that_o err_a man_n in_o his_o most_o solemn_a prayer_n shall_v beg_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o relish_v what_o be_v right_a for_o we_o never_o please_v ourselves_o with_o what_o we_o do_v not_o relish_v nor_o do_v we_o ever_o relish_v what_o displease_v we_o whereas_o to_o relish_v what_o be_v right_a be_v to_o

the_o nurse_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o bring_v into_o the_o school_n of_o spirit_n and_o be_v to_o ask_v our_o master_n a_o boon_n now_o we_o see_v his_o hand_n full_a of_o bounty_n and_o

our_o tooth_n be_v set_v on_o edge_n with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o our_o mouth_n quite_o out_o of_o taste_n with_o spiritual_a food_n nothing_o be_v of_o more_o import_n to_o we_o then_o that_o

our_o heart_n affection_n right_a to_o god_n the_o last_o draw_v we_o headlong_o to_o death_n now_o it_o will_v be_v the_o least_o of_o our_o care_n to_o day_n to_o adjust_a this_o prayer_n unto_o the_o epistle_n since_o this_o be_v altogether_o of_o the_o come_n down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o the_o school_n of_o spiritual_a comfort_n where_o he_o be_v to_o read_v his_o lesson_n to_o man_n heart_n as_o this_o prayer_n tell_v we_o and_o as_o we_o read_v jerem._n 31.33_o i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n whence_o it_o be_v holy_a church_n to_o day_n take_v the_o

to_o read_v a_o lesson_n to_o her_o child_n and_o immediate_o we_o see_v s._n peter_n preach_v but_o indeed_o as_o the_o gospel_n ever_o tell_v we_o the_o story_n of_o our_o saviour_n life_n so_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o the_o history_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n first_o that_o of_o the_o fact_n when_o and_o how_o he_o come_v next_o that_o of_o the_o effect_n how_o prodigious_o he_o wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o he_o do_v descend_v upon_o so_o the_o epistle_n be_v to_o day_n out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v as_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v the_o place_n whence_o preacher_n take_v their_o text_n or_o whereunto_o at_o least_o they_o drive_v the_o design_n of_o all_o their_o sermon_n and_o to_o this_o the_o

love_v i_o observe_v my_o word_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o say_v do_v relish_v my_o word_n do_v relish_v that_o which_o be_v right_a for_o nothing_o more_o right_a than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n since_o we_o may_v take_v that_o for_o verity_n and_o rectitude_n itself_o especial_o be_v teach_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o this_o gospel_n tell_v be_v to_o come_v purposely_o to_o teach_v

for_o we_o three_o be_v all_o one_o inseparable_a substance_n or_o essence_n however_o distinct_a and_o several_a person_n just_o so_o shall_v the_o whole_a bless_a and_o undivided_a trinity_n

part_n of_o holy_a writ_n unless_o we_o see_v clear_o the_o connexion_n it_o have_v to_o precedent_n or_o consequent_a part_n thereof_o so_o what_o s._n judas_n mean_v of_o his_o personal_a or_o

his_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n receive_v and_o embrace_v among_o they_o through_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n but_o we_o must_v note_v that_o come_v or_o go_v of_o god_n who_o be_v at_o all_o time_n in_o all_o place_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o immensity_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o he_o do_v come_v or_o go_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o

so_o every_o new_a inspiration_n of_o grace_n we_o have_v be_v as_o if_o god_n make_v a_o new_a visit_n unto_o we_o within_o the_o temple_n of_o our_o soul_n where_o he_o delight_v to_o be_v and_o

of_o a_o preacher_n be_v his_o tongue_n so_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n be_v first_o express_v by_o the_o species_n of_o a_o tongue_n where_o we_o be_v to_o note_v this_o gift_n include_v three_o

to_o the_o several_a articulation_n requisite_a to_o several_a language_n and_o consequent_o a_o prudence_n to_o use_v all_o these_o in_o a_o right_a way_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o tongue_n have_v a_o great_a affinity_n with_o a_o word_n as_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o word_n so_o he_o come_v in_o the_o species_n of_o a_o tongue_n and_o as_o

of_o these_o three_o prayer_n will_v by_o this_o book_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o abstract_a both_o of_o the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n of_o the_o day_n rather_o than_o i_o shall_v attribute_v this_o

draw_v its_o source_n from_o the_o better_a fountain_n of_o devotion_n than_o any_o i_o can_v lay_v claim_n unto_o namely_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o the_o church_n true_a it_o be_v i_o can_v not_o positive_o say_v it_o be_v so_o but_o thus_o much_o i_o need_v not_o scruple_n to_o avouch_v that_o as_o the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n be_v the_o express_a doctrine_n of_o our_o

no_o common_a privilege_n allow_v to_o other_o that_o can_v be_v hold_v too_o great_a for_o i_o in_o particular_a but_o lest_o the_o common_a reader_n shall_v be_v lose_v in_o this_o discourse_n

be_v the_o form_n which_o give_v the_o wall_n that_o denomination_n virtual_o when_o effect_n be_v include_v in_o their_o cause_n as_o the_o son_n in_o his_o father_n as_o the_o great_a tree_n or_o

thing_n be_v contain_v in_o another_o because_o the_o creature_n be_v more_o perfect_a in_o the_o creator_n than_o any_o effect_n be_v in_o the_o virtual_a cause_n thereof_o or_o any_o form_n in_o the_o subject_n which_o it_o denominate_v or_o then_o indeed_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o itself_o where_o we_o find_v a_o world_n of_o imperfection_n though_o in_o god_n there_o can_v be_v none_o at_o all_o so_o to_o be_v eminential_o contain_v in_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a way_n of_o be_v include_v then_o either_o virtual_o or_o formal_o to_o be_v contain_v be_v

they_o be_v now_o and_o then_o take_v from_o some_o other_o part_n of_o holy_a writ_n then_o common_o they_o use_v to_o be_v as_o for_o example_n that_o on_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o advent_n be_v

to_o come_v away_o after_o so_o long_a a_o expectation_n of_o he_o as_o four_o thousand_o year_n together_o hence_o that_o antiphon_n be_v then_o take_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o those_o ancient_a

to_o allude_v to_o that_o mortality_n of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n when_o therein_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o affirm_v that_o our_o saviour_n passion_n be_v a_o propitiation_n peculiar_o provide_v for_o
