A01730 A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

there_o be_v three_o argument_n of_o master_n greenewoods_n which_o i_o answer_v at_o once_o by_o deny_v the_o assumption_n and_o show_v the_o reason_n that_o move_v i_o for_o in_o deed_n he_o set_v down_o some_o proposition_n and_o out_o of_o they_o affirm_v that_o which_o be_v false_a and_o so_o conclude_v from_o thence_o another_o falsehood_n it_o be_v his_o whole_a manner_n of_o reason_v if_o i_o set_v down_o this_o proposition_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n it_o be_v most_o true_a if_o i_o will_v now_o make_v such_o a_o assumption_n as_o this_o a_o bodelie_a substance_n can_v worship_v a_o spirit_n this_o being_n most_o false_a there_o will_v follow_v a_o false_a conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v worship_n god_n in_o body_n he_o be_v now_o therefore_o to_o prove_v his_o assumption_n and_o before_o he_o come_v to_o it_o he_o cry_v out_o stay_v and_o wonder_n they_o be_v blind_a and_o make_v blind_a who_o be_v blind_a and_o make_v blind_a the_o brownist_n this_o man_n have_v some_o great_a thing_n in_o his_o mind_n which_o he_o see_v and_o do_v wonder_n and_o now_o call_v upon_o all_o other_o to_o stay_v until_o he_o have_v utter_v it_o and_o so_o to_o wonder_v with_o he_o be_v there_o any_o doctrine_n more_o spiritual_a say_v he_o any_o more_o inculcate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n than_o this_o access_n to_o god_n in_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v who_o do_v doubt_n of_o this_o you_o confess_v i_o will_v say_v the_o proposition_n be_v true_a and_o weighty_a matter_n which_o i_o do_v in_o deed_n and_o thereby_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o prayer_n be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n far_o from_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o perform_v of_o himself_o now_o master_n greenewood_n confess_v i_o do_v this_o like_a as_o a_o great_a wave_n of_o the_o sea_n come_v roll_a and_o do_v in_o sh●w_n threaten_v to_o overwhelm_v all_o but_o sudden_o fall_v of_o itself_o so_o he_o swell_a with_o the_o wind_n of_o his_o vanity_n cry_v out_o stay_v and_o wonder_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v over_o whelm_v with_o the_o stream_n of_o his_o word_n and_o by_o and_o by_o fall_v of_o himself_o confess_v that_o i_o allow_v the_o proposition_n which_o in_o deed_n include_v the_o excellency_n of_o prayer_n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o his_o wonder_n the_o first_o assumption_n he_o must_v prove_v be_v that_o to_o read_v upon_o the_o book_n when_o one_o pray_v be_v a_o quench_v the_o spirit_n for_o this_o he_o allege_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o have_v set_v down_o this_o he_o add_v that_o to_o suppress_v and_o leave_v unuttered_a the_o passion_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n give_v we_o cause_n of_o prayer_n and_o in_o steed_n thereof_o to_o read_v another_o man_n writing_n he_o do_v not_o doubt_n will_v be_v find_v and_o judge_v of_o all_o that_o have_v spiritual_a eye_n to_o see_v a_o quench_n of_o that_o grace_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v most_o fit_a to_o utter_v our_o passion_n by_o and_o what_o have_v you_o bring_v but_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n if_o we_o respect_v such_o as_o be_v not_o able_a so_o well_o to_o utter_v the_o spiritual_a eye_n to_o see_v and_o judge_v that_o to_o be_v a_o quench_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o the_o eye_n of_o brownist_n therefore_o all_o his_o beggar_o cavil_n which_o follow_v and_o which_o have_v be_v answer_v before_o be_v to_o be_v let_v pass_v as_o they_o come_v the_o second_o assumption_n to_o be_v prove_v be_v that_o it_o be_v presumptuous_a ignorance_n to_o come_v with_o a_o book_n this_o be_v a_o lame_a sacrifice_n because_o a_o man_n do_v know_v how_o to_o do_v better_a and_o do_v not_o still_o he_o will_v have_v that_o grant_v which_o be_v deny_v for_o i_o say_v the_o book_n be_v to_o help_v man_n to_o do_v the_o better_a which_o be_v in_o themselves_o dull_a and_o full_a of_o want_n and_o without_o help_n shall_v rather_o offer_v a_o lame_a sacrifice_n the_o three_o be_v for_o strive_v in_o prayer_n for_o which_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v much_o of_o this_o strive_v which_o be_v not_o deny_v for_o continuance_n and_o importunacie_n he_o imagine_v that_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v prove_v for_o this_o as_o he_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v can_v be_v effect_v unless_o the_o priest_n read_v till_o he_o sweat_v again_o with_o vain_a repetition_n i_o may_v follow_v with_o many_o word_n in_o these_o and_o the_o rest_n but_o see_v he_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o psalm_n be_v to_o be_v sing_v unto_o god_n let_v he_o show_v how_o the_o very_a read_n then_o can_v be_v so_o grievous_a a_o thing_n for_o this_o the_o reader_n must_v consider_v that_o our_o question_n be_v not_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o prayer_n nor_o any_o corruption_n by_o vain_a repetition_n or_o otherwise_o nor_o about_o the_o hypocrisy_n and_o vain_a babble_n of_o such_o as_o pray_v but_o of_o fashion_n but_o simple_o of_o the_o read_n when_o one_o pray_v which_o until_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o diverse_a psalm_n either_o be_v not_o utter_v to_o god_n as_o prayer_n or_o that_o they_o do_v not_o read_v they_o when_o they_o do_v sing_v he_o proove_v nothing_o but_o deceive_v the_o simple_a with_o the_o sight_n of_o true_a thing_n which_o he_o spread_v and_o from_o which_o he_o draw_v forth_o such_o false_a conclusion_n i_o leave_v to_o the_o reader_n but_o to_o compare_v his_o answer_n he_o make_v to_o the_o rest_n touch_v these_o argument_n and_o see_v if_o they_o make_v any_o thing_n for_o vim_o and_o not_o rather_o against_o he_o the_o next_o argument_n be_v that_o we_o must_v pray_v as_o necessity_n 7._o require_v but_o stint_v prayer_n can_v be_v as_o necessity_n require_v whereas_o i_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v pray_v for_o at_o all_o time_n and_o of_o all_o man_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o most_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n of_o these_o there_o may_v be_v prescript_n form_n for_o all_o time_n and_o for_o other_o thing_n that_o fall_v out_o seldom_o the_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o time_n and_o necessity_n here_o be_v large_a discourse_n and_o such_o as_o this_o replier_n do_v much_o please_v himself_o in_o as_o a_o most_o spiritual_a man_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o the_o whole_a that_o in_o pray_v to_o god_n we_o must_v come_v with_o feel_v our_o want_n that_o so_o we_o may_v pray_v earnest_o which_o i_o do_v yield_v unto_o as_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n he_o hold_v it_o as_o a_o great_a absurdity_n that_o we_o shall_v want_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o morrow_n which_o we_o do_v to_o day_n or_o that_o all_o congregation_n shall_v need_v the_o same_o one_o day_n which_o they_o do_v another_o he_o be_v most_o foolish_a in_o this_o and_o such_o like_a objection_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v stand_v to_o follow_v particular_n there_o be_v few_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v not_o either_o for_o ourselves_o or_o for_o our_o brethren_n at_o all_o assembly_n beg_v of_o the_o lord_n if_o there_o be_v special_a necessity_n they_o be_v to_o be_v supply_v the_o matter_n be_v clear_a i_o will_v not_o spend_v time_n about_o it_o more_o than_o i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a book_n but_o whereas_o the_o brownist_n do_v object_n that_o a_o prescript_n form_n do_v show_v that_o man_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o know_v man_n secret_n which_o god_n alone_o do_v know_v it_o be_v most_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a the_o scripture_n do_v show_v that_o we_o all_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o evermore_o be_v sick_a of_o one_o disease_n though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o particular_a case_n wherein_o some_o have_v their_o several_a need_n and_o let_v he_o answer_v i_o now_o unto_o this_o point_n there_o be_v five_o or_o six_o hundred_o in_o one_o flock_n which_o come_v together_o to_o pray_v if_o it_o be_v as_o you_o will_v bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o variableness_n in_o our_o need_n that_o to_o day_n our_o necessity_n require_v one_o thing_n to_o morrow_n another_o then_o every_o particular_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v several_a want_n and_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o no_o more_o than_o they_o come_v with_o present_a feel_n off_o how_o then_o shall_v the_o

the_o like_a because_o the_o adverb_n thus_o do_v signify_v the_o like_a and_o not_o the_o same_o but_o he_o render_v a_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o we_o have_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o their_o prophecy_n record_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o not_o all_o the_o word_n because_o we_o have_v not_o all_o the_o word_n therefore_o have_v we_o not_o the_o same_o in_o those_o that_o be_v set_v down_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v this_o word_n coh_n to_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v write_v but_o a_o abridgement_n or_o sum_n of_o matter_n and_o not_o the_o

speak_v the_o truth_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o these_o same_o word_n say_v the_o lord_n but_o the_o like_a because_o thus_o be_v a_o adverb_n of_o likeness_n it_o be_v a_o vile_a say_n be_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o lord_n if_o he_o have_v speak_v those_o thing_n before_o in_o more_o word_n and_o now_o record_v they_o in_o few_o say_v thus_o say_v

another_o reason_n render_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o those_o word_n in_o blessing_n the_o people_n namely_o that_o in_o prayer_n they_o be_v bless_v in_o the_o
