A53117	The fall of man by sinne delivered in a sermon preached at the late solemne fast, Aug. 28, 1644 : wherein these three positions are briefly handled : 1. That all men are miserably fallen from God by sin, and are in a lost condition, 2. That we must see ourselves thus fallen, and utterly lost in ourselves, before we can convert and turn to God by repentance, 3. That formes of prayer may, in some cases be lawfully and warrantably used : published at the request of that truly religious and vertuous gentlewoman, mistris Elizabeth Barnham, wife to the worshipfull Robert Barnham, Esq. / by William Newport, Preacher of the word at Boughton Monchelsey in Kent.

too_o the_o modulation_n of_o the_o voice_n in_o sing_v be_v as_o likely_a to_o take_v off_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o matter_n as_o the_o use_n of_o the_o eye_n in_o read_v 2._o some_o formalist_n

they_o have_v learn_v by_o rote_n without_o any_o understanding_n or_o heart_n at_o all_o these_o be_v just_a like_o our_o foolish_a papist_n that_o use_v their_o prayer_n in_o all_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n as_o charm_n and_o spell_n to_o remove_v the_o evil_n from_o they_o this_o be_v only_o to_o take_v the_o lord_n name_v in_o vain_a to_o abuse_v his_o title_n and_o his_o word_n
