supplication_n and_o heart-groan_n

for_o saint_n to_o pray_v in_o a_o form_n it_o be_v lawful_a either_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n or_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n he_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a help_n to_o they_o

or_o common-prayer-book_n be_v no_o essential_a part_n of_o worship_n be_v utter_o deny_v by_o the_o present_a minister_n of_o england_n who_o make_v it_o not_o only_o a_o part_n but_o the_o principal_a part_n to_o which_o preach_v must_v give_v place_n and_o be_v omit_v if_o they_o have_v not_o time_n for_o both_o yea_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v perform_v they_o suppose_v they_o have_v serve_v he_o acceptable_o without_o more_o ado_n and_o if_o omit_v whatever_o else_o be_v do_v god_n be_v not_o worship_v at_o all_o and_o thus_o far_o of_o the_o first_o argument_n for_o the_o demonstration_n of_o what_o we_o be_v in_o the_o disquisition_n of_o viz._n that_o the_o present_a minister_n of_o england_n be_v idolater_n the_o sum_n whereof_o be_v this_o those_o that_o worship_n god_n in_o any_o other_o way_n than_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o and_o be_v prescribe_v by_o he_o be_v idolater_n but_o the_o present_a minister_n of_o england_n worship_n god_n in_o another_o way_n than_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o and_o be_v prescribe_v by_o he_o viz._n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o

these_o to_o be_v account_v in_o that_o respect_n idolater_n it_o seem_v so_o nor_o can_v there_o be_v the_o least_o pretence_n of_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a certain_o such_o as_o act_v by_o
