can_v have_v walk_v to_o christ_n on_o his_o own_o foot_n what_o can_v he_o have_v more_o desire_v than_o to_o be_v heal_v so_o if_o we_o come_v with_o our_o own_o invention_n or_o expression_n in_o prayer_n we_o can_v expect_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o be_v hear_v which_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n will_v as_o soon_o do_v when_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o with_o word_n of_o the_o church_n compose_v as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o our_o own_o frame_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o want_v yea_o but_o methinks_v i_o hear_v some_o say_v the_o heart_n must_v needs_o be_v want_v for_o pray_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o read_v be_v another_o i_o grant_v they_o be_v two_o several_a thing_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v compatible_a and_o may_v well_o stand_v together_o when_o we_o read_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o st._n matthew_n and_o our_o intention_n be_v only_o to_o inform_v ourselves_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n we_o acknowledge_v we_o do_v not_o pray_v but_o when_o we_o read_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o liturgy_n and_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n in_o every_o of_o the_o petition_n than_o we_o affirm_v that_o we_o do_v pray_v so_o then_o when_o we_o read_v and_o our_o intention_n be_v only_o to_o receive_v knowledge_n into_o the_o soul_n we_o do_v not_o pray_v in_o read_v but_o when_o in_o read_v we_o also_o pour_v out_o the_o request_n of_o our_o heart_n than_o such_o read_v may_v true_o be_v call_v pray_v second_o it_o be_v object_v read_v set_v prayer_n out_o of_o a_o book_n be_v a_o stint_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o stint_v or_o quench_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o read_v prayer_n out_o of_o a_o book_n i_o answer_v 1._o if_o he_o that_o pray_v a_o set_a form_n stint_v the_o spirit_n than_o he_o that_o pray_v a_o extempore_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n stint_v the_o spirit_n of_o all_o those_o that_o join_v with_o he_o for_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o join_v with_o he_o be_v limit_v by_o his_o word_n and_o his_o sense_n and_o so_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o a_o set_a form_n to_o they_o for_o if_o their_o mind_n go_v along_o with_o he_o they_o pray_v the_o same_o prayer_n that_o he_o do_v and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o now_o why_o shall_v the_o people_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o not_o the_o minister_n to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n if_o it_o be_v sinful_a in_o one_o to_o stint_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v sinful_a also_o in_o the_o other_o and_o so_o no_o public_a prayer_n where_o many_o join_v together_o can_v be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n without_o sin_n in_o this_o respect_n because_o the_o spirit_n must_v be_v bind_v up_o and_o stint_v in_o all_o but_o in_o he_o that_o speak_v it_o but_o if_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v that_o extempore_o prayer_n stint_v not_o the_o spirit_n because_o then_o a_o man_n speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v utterance_n which_o can_v be_v in_o set_a form_n than_o this_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v if_o to_o those_o man_n which_o pray_v extempore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v dictate_v those_o word_n unto_o they_o than_o those_o prayer_n will_v be_v as_o good_a canonical_a scripture_n if_o write_v by_o the_o pen_n of_o a_o ready_a writer_n as_o any_o of_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n or_o asaph_n or_o any_o of_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o old_a record_v in_o scripture_n which_o because_o it_o will_v be_v blasphemy_n to_o affirm_v it_o roundly_o follow_v such_o prayer_n be_v not_o speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v utterance_n but_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o own_o art_n and_o industry_n and_o therefore_o the_o turn_n of_o that_o practice_n into_o a_o set_a form_n do_v not_o stint_v nor_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n that_o those_o sudden_a conception_n be_v not_o dictate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n appear_v plain_o by_o this_o man_n of_o divers_a opinion_n pray_v quite_o contrary_a thing_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o presbyterian_a minister_n take_v a_o text_n sound_v as_o he_o think_v towards_o the_o establish_n of_o presbytery_n such_o as_o that_o in_o 1_o pet._n 5.1_o the_o elder_n that_o be_v among_o you_o i_o exhort_v who_o also_o be_o a_o elder_a from_o whence_o he_o deliver_v the_o presbyterian_a government_n be_v the_o government_n christ_n establish_v in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o sermon_n he_o pray_v over_o again_o the_o chief_a head_n of_o what_o he_o deliver_v and_o say_v good_a lord_n settle_v those_o

likewise_o that_o the_o people_n may_v not_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n as_o the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n but_o as_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n call_v you_o this_o pray_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o say_v so_o be_v in_o deed_n and_o truth_n a_o blaspheme_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v speak_v contradiction_n as_o these_o man_n do_v in_o their_o pulpit_n

presbytery_n the_o other_o independency_n in_o the_o church_n now_o how_o can_v both_o these_o be_v dictate_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n to_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n signify_v in_o scripture_n three_o thing_n 1._o to_o pray_v by_o immediate_a inspiration_n so_o as_o to_o make_v no_o use_n of_o our_o own_o judgement_n or_o reason_n either_o in_o devise_v the_o matter_n or_o

than_o as_o all_o time_n be_v his_o and_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v more_o peculiar_o he_o than_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v he_o then_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o peculiarly_a his_o may_v have_v a_o relative_n holiness_n in_o they_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o under_o the_o law_n for_o the_o relative_n holiness_n consist_v in_o this_o peculiar_a separation_n to_o almighty_a god_n now_o that_o some_o time_n may_v be_v peculiar_o he_o be_v plain_a by_o st._n john_n calling_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o lord_n day_n rev._n 1.10_o that_o be_v set_z apart_z for_o

of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n neither_o be_v it_o less_o plain_a against_o the_o other_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o efficacious_o inspire_v into_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o for_o this_o will_v quite_o destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n for_o as_o he_o say_v well_o he_o that_o can_v choose_v but_o choose_v do_v choose_v because_o he_o can_v choose_v which_o be_v a_o palpable_a and_o thick_a contradiction_n second_o it_o appear_v from_o our_o saviour_n word_n how_o oft_o will_v i_o and_o you_o will_v not_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o irresistible_o put_v to_o the_o will_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o see_v he_o blame_v they_o for_o so_o often_o forsake_v

life_n the_o truth_n i_o tell_v you_o be_v in_o the_o middle_a way_n and_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ancient_a opinion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n ago_o that_o the_o will_n be_v not_o destroy_v by_o grace_n but_o only_o repair_v a_o dislocate_v joint_n when_o it_o be_v well_o set_v again_o do_v not_o lose_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o joint_n but_o rather_o be_v

second_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o a_o private_a prayer_n and_o a_o public_a prayer_n a_o private_a prayer_n point_v to_o the_o sore_a of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a whereof_o perhaps_o all_o circumstance_n consider_v not_o one_o of_o many_o be_v guilty_a but_o a_o public_a prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o compose_v that_o it_o may_v concern_v all_o the_o congregation_n and_o all_o the_o people_n may_v say_v amen_o to_o it_o now_o for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o want_n only_o may_v be_v a_o good_a prayer_n for_o his_o private_a devotion_n but_o it_o can_v be_v so_o proper_a or_o so_o profitable_a for_o the_o public_a as_o a_o set_a form_n wherein_o the_o composer_n consider_v the_o usual_a want_n of_o all_o mankind_n if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o prefer_v a_o petition_n to_o his_o prince_n will_v he_o speak_v extempore_o why_o what_o thou_o will_v not_o offer_v to_o he_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o offer_v to_o god_n mal._n 1.8_o the_o reason_n be_v full_a of_o moral_a equity_n god_n be_v a_o great_a king_n than_o he_o if_o you_o will_v be_v ashamed_a or_o afraid_a to_o bring_v indigested_a stuff_n to_o the_o one_o much_o more_o shall_v you_o be_v so_o affect_v to_o bring_v abortive_a conception_n before_o the_o other_o we_o may_v as_o well_o pray_v a_o set_a prayer_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o sing_v a_o set_a psalm_n by_o the_o spirit_n now_o even_o their_o own_o practice_n bear_v witness_n these_o man_n can_v sing_v a_o set_a psalm_n by_o the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v after_o a_o gracious_a manner_n so_o that_o nothing_o but_o inadvertency_n to_o their_o own_o custom_n make_v they_o grant_v the_o one_o and_o deny_v the_o other_o indeed_o they_o do_v well_o in_o sing_v david_n psalm_n and_o they_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o hezekiah_n therein_o who_o command_v to_o sing_v praise_n with_o the_o word_n of_o david_n and_o asaph_n i_o can_v wish_v for_o the_o future_a that_o their_o prayer_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o their_o praise_n for_o these_o few_o reason_n with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n first_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o know_v beforehand_o with_o what_o word_n to_o pray_v as_o to_o what_o sense_n second_o they_o that_o pray_v not_o the_o same_o word_n do_v use_v most_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o other_o word_n as_o that_o god_n will_v forgive_v their_o sin_n avert_v his_o judgement_n strengthen_v their_o weak_a grace_n weaken_v their_o strong_a corruption_n and_o the_o like_a three_o because_o these_o be_v most_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o people_n who_o by_o often_o hear_v of_o the_o same_o prayer_n can_v commit_v it_o to_o memory_n and_o use_v to_o the_o same_o liturgy_n can_v join_v and_o answer_v in_o many_o pathetical_a responsal_n now_o all_o thing_n in_o public_a aught_o to_o be_v do_v to_o edification_n four_o an_o extempore_o prayer_n may_v likewise_o hinder_v the_o devotion_n of_o the_o minister_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o people_n for_o his_o understanding_n may_v be_v so_o take_v up_o in_o think_v what_o to_o say_v next_o that_o he_o may_v be_v very_o formal_a as_o to_o his_o heart_n and_o many_o time_n will_v be_v force_v to_o be_v so_o for_o fear_n he_o shall_v be_v out_o five_o our_o experience_n have_v show_v we_o that_o their_o method_n have_v be_v confuse_v their_o tautology_n many_o their_o traulism_n absurd_a their_o sense_n none_o of_o the_o best_a their_o passion_n vent_v and_o the_o dreadful_a name_n of_o god_n so_o light_o so_o frequent_o and_o so_o unnecessary_o use_v in_o they_o that_o many_o understand_a man_n because_o of_o they_o have_v be_v ready_a to_o abhor_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o can_v seldom_o or_o never_o say_v amen_n to_o they_o whereas_o in_o a_o set_a form_n we_o be_v sure_o beforehand_o there_o be_v nothing_o put_v up_o in_o petition_n but_o what_o be_v fit_a for_o
