it_o come_v of_o a_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o supplicate_v from_o whence_o come_v suppliant_a prayer_n the_o ancient_a church_n be_v full_a of_o they_o as_o i_o can_v show_v which_o usual_o

be_v divers_a exception_n against_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o see_v next_o how_o they_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o against_o they_o there_o be_v no_o church_n that_o i_o know_v but_o must_v have_v a_o favourable_a construction_n of_o some_o thing_n and_o so_o must_v ou●s_v yet_o in_o this_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o all_o excepter_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v the_o exception_n that_o i_o have_v yet_o meet_v with_o be_v against_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o against_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o ob._n against_o the_o manner_n they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v with_o repetition_n of_o the_o people_n and_o interlocutary_a passage_n sol._n as_o for_o that_o i_o find_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n god_n have_v command_v public_a prayer_n that_o be_v that_o presbyter_n and_o people_n shall_v pray_v but_o he_o have_v not_o command_v any_o form_n or_o manner_n to_o carry_v their_o prayer_n in_o but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v do_v to_o edification_n therefore_o he_o have_v leave_v that_o free_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o governor_n and_o this_o we_o have_v often_o experience_n of_o that_o if_o a_o continue_a prayer_n be_v but_o half_a so_o long_o
