to_o avoy_v wound_n of_o which_o kind_a innumerable_a superstition_n and_o impiety_n be_v use_v of_o ungodlie_a enchanter_n therefore_o the_o preacher_n shall_v warn_v the_o people_n diligent_o how_o

less_o they_o the_o abuse_n of_o other_o false_a and_o idolatrious_a doctrine_n the_o four_o abuse_n be_v when_o the_o end_n of_o prayer_n be_v pervert_v when_o man_n rehearse_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prayer_n with_o this_o opinion_n that_o they_o think_v they_o do_v acceptable_a service_n to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n even_o with_o this_o work_n of_o reherse_v whereas_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n not_o to_o do_v he_o some_o service_n with_o that_o work_n but_o that_o we_o may_v call_v for_o the_o free_a help_v of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o peril_n and_o evyls_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v or_o that_o be_v unworthy_a we_o may_v receyve_v benifitte_v which_o we_o have_v not_o deserve_v and_o that_o we_o may_v pray_v with_o a_o full_a feeling_n both_o of_o our_o own_o misery_n and_o of_o the_o divine_a goodness_n of_o christ_n and_o with_o feruent_a desire_n of_o god_n help_v we_o must_v use_v holy_a word_n in_o our_o prey_n but_o the_o common_a people_n have_v be_v bring_v into_o this_o error_n long_o since_o by_o unfaythfull_a pastor_n that_o they_o offer_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n of_o the_o angel_n salutation_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o other_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o bless_a virgin_n &_o other_o saint_n as_o some_o acceptable_a service_n or_o gift_n whereby_o they_o think_v they_o deserve_v much_o of_o god_n and_o saint_n &_o that_o they_o purge_v their_o sin_n and_o obtain_v the_o benifitte_v of_o god_n which_o abuse_n of_o pray_v do_v not_o only_o fight_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o also_o be_v folishe_a and_o mad_a even_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n and_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v take_v away_o if_o the_o people_n be_v so_o instruct_v of_o prayer_n as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o the_o first_o abuse_n in_o prayinge_v and_o no_o less_o to_o be_v reprove_v and_o correct_v be_v this_o that_o man_n commune_o believe_v that_o their_o prayer_n be_v more_o commend_v to_o god_n and_o soon_o hear_v by_o reason_n of_o place_n of_o which_o they_o think_v some_o to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o some_o as_o if_o the_o prayer_n be_v make_v at_o certain_a grave_a stock_n or_o relic_n of_o saint_n or_o other_o place_n whereunto_o man_n go_v on_o pilgrimage_n which_o be_v a_o great_a dispitefull_a wrong_n to_o the_o grace_n and_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n jesu_n christ_n by_o who_o only_o our_o prayer_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n in_o what_o place_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v make_v as_o he_o himself_o promise_v john_n xv_o what_o soever_o you_o ask_v the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v gyve_v it_o you_o and_o moreover_o he_o say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samarie_n woman_n believe_v i_o the_o hour_n come_v when_o you_o shall_v worship_v the_o father_n neither_o in_o this_o hill_n nor_o at_o jerusalem_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n john_n iiij_o and_o matthew_n xviij_o he_o say_v if_o two_o of_o you_o consent_v together_o upon_o the_o earth_n of_o any_o thing_n what_o so_o ever_o they_o ask_v it_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o they_o of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n for_o where_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o my_o name_n there_o be_o i_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o lo_o here_o the_o lord_n promise_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v if_o we_o consent_v in_o prayer_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v a_o mean_a between_o we_o and_o obtain_v all_o thing_n for_o we_o of_o the_o father_n when_o so_o ever_o and_o where_o so_o ever_o we_o shall_v come_v and_o agree_v in_o his_o name_n these_o promise_v all_o they_o diminish_v that_o think_v they_o shall_v be_v hear_v more_o certain_o and_o soon_o in_o any_o place_n for_o the_o respect_n of_o grave_a

to_o pray_v more_o devout_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o the_o congregation_n come_v together_o in_o those_o place_n to_o prayer_n and_o because_o we_o be_v there_o more_o steere_v up_o to_o prayer_n through_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o other_o holy_a exercise_n and_o through_o the_o very_a company_n of_o man_n prayinge_v together_o with_o us._n so_o private_a place_n have_v this_o
