tongue_n be_v silent_a &_o so_o be_v it_o smother_v many_o time_n a_o thing_n pass_v through_o all_o to_o the_o hart_n where_o the_o matter_n be_v debate_v between_o natural_a reason_n &_o the_o hart_n &_o there_o for_o want_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o countermand_v natural_a reason_n it_o stay_v &_o understanding_n can_v no_o skill_n of_o it_o but_o what_o say_v the_o tongue_n in_o stead_n of_o so_o be_v it_o he_o bring_v this_o answer_n sir_n y_z e_z hart_n have_v consult_v with_o worldly_a policy_n &_o natural_a reason_n do_v find_v this_o to_o be_v against_o his_o profit_n or_o against_o his_o pleasure_n or_o against_o his_o gain_n or_o against_o his_o custom_n or_o against_o his_o credit_n in_o the_o world_n &_o therefore_o this_o bill_n can_v pass_v my_o master_n the_o hart_n with_o reason_n and_o policy_n do_v therefore_o desire_v you_o to_o be_v content_v &_o speak_v no_o more_o of_o this_o matter_n but_o of_o something_o else_o that_o may_v stand_v better_o with_o their_o like_n as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o house_n understanding_n will_n &_o affection_n although_o they_o know_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v true_a just_a &_o equal_a which_o you_o demand_v yet_o they_o can_v do_v no_o good_a in_o the_o matter_n because_o the_o other_o two_o have_v nip_v it_o in_o the_o head_n sometime_o the_o tongue_n say_v amen_o to_o that_o which_o the_o hart_n condemn_v because_o reason_n confirm_v it_o &_o this_o be_v common_o when_o the_o eye_n see_v some_o body_n who_o he_o fear_v or_o the_o ear_n hear_v something_o that_o he_o can_v answer_v &_o therefore_o though_o y_fw-fr e_o tongue_n be_v a_o common_a speaker_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o always_o a_o true_a speaker_n sometime_o again_o the_o ear_n admit_v &_o the_o hart_n affect_v &_o desire_v that_o which_o reason_n subscribe_v unto_o but_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n reason_n revoke_v y_z e_z hart_n faint_v &_o you_o e_o tongue_n folter_v and_o either_o for_o fear_n or_o for_o shame_n dare_v not_o utter_v what_o be_v agree_v upon_o within_o a_o miserable_a parliament_n y_o it_o have_v such_o a_o speaker_n but_o this_o be_v y_z e_z matter_n indeed_o this_o house_n have_v two_o door_n at_o one_o door_n y_o e_o bill_n be_v bring_v in_o &_o that_o be_v by_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o eye_n at_o another_o door_n they_o pass_v out_o again_o with_o their_o answer_n &_o that_o be_v the_o lip_n within_o at_o which_o the_o common_a speaker_n stand_v now_o if_o you_o e_o lord_n do_v set_v a_o watch_n there_o &_o keep_v the_o door_n of_o our_o lip_n than_o they_o be_v open_a &_o the_o tongue_n do_v bold_o confess_v y_z e_o truth_n but_o if_o the_o fearful_a devil_n or_o the_o bashful_a devil_n keep_v the_o door_n the_o tongue_n dare_v not_o for_o his_o life_n speak_v the_o truth_n god_n in_o mercy_n remove_v such_o porter_n y_z t_z we_o may_v bold_o confess_v with_o our_o tongue_n that_o which_o we_o believe_v in_o our_o hart_n to_o salvation_n so_o likewise_o in_o prayer_n &_o thanksgiving_n if_o our_o tongue_n do_v speak_v any_o thing_n which_o the_o understanding_n be_v ignorant_a of_o and_o therefore_o the_o hart_n can_v affect_v our_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o a_o mockery_n against_o god_n because_o the_o parliament_n house_n be_v divide_v &_o there_o be_v but_o a_o mutiny_n between_o the_o hart_n the_o tongue_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o all_o agree_v upon_o the_o point_n they_o the_o tongue_n show_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o bold_o without_o fear_n of_o any_o whatsoever_o stand_v forth_o and_o say_v so_o be_v it_o but_o why_o do_v he_o double_a his_o speech_n &_o say_v so_o be_v it_o even_o so_o be_v it_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o speaker_n of_o the_o parliament_n house_n be_v but_o a_o simple_a man_n &_o want_v matter_n he_o mean_v well_o it_o may_v be_v but_o for_o want_v of_o matter_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o harp_n upon_o one_o string_n much_o sure_o belove_v y_z e_z prophet_n speak_v as_o he_o be_v move_v by_o y_z e_z holy_a ghost_n &_o this_o be_v god_n wisdom_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o find_v fault_n withal_o this_o be_v y_z e_z plain_n &_o simple_a deal_n of_o a_o faithful_a soul_n indeed_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v one_o thing_n oftentimes_o urge_v in_o teach_v &_o no_o often_o than_o be_v needful_a because_o first_o it_o be_v long_o before_o we_o can_v learn_v god_n will_v second_o it_o be_v long_o before_o we_o can_v remember_v god_n will_n but_o principal_o because_o it_o be_v long_a of_o all_o before_o we_o can_v make_v a_o conscience_n to_o obey_v god_n will_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n in_o hear_v one_o thing_n often_o be_v weary_a because_o every_o man_n may_v learn_v the_o same_o thing_n better_o do_v not_o say_v the_o preacher_n want_v matter_n but_o say_v rather_o that_o we_o want_v grace_n or_o understanding_n or_o memory_n or_o zeal_n or_o love_n or_o something_o again_o let_v no_o man_n in_o teach_v stand_v so_o much_o upon_o his_o reputation_n as_o to_o compte_fw-fr it_z a_o disgrace_n unto_o he_o if_o he_o do_v often_o repeat_v one_o thing_n be_v necessary_a for_o we_o see_v it_o be_v god_n wisdom_n to_o teach_v so_o &_o if_o any_o man_n be_v wise_a they_o god_n spirit_n he_o will_v prove_v himself_o a_o fool_n in_o prayer_n also_o the_o same_o spirit_n have_v teach_v god_n child_n to_o speak_v one_o thing_n oftentimes_o partly_o because_o there_o be_v in_o every_o one_o great_a dulness_n &_o want_n of_o feel_v &_o partly_o to_o note_v how_o earnest_a they_o be_v &_o desirous_a to_o obtain_v y_z t_o which_o they_o pray_v for_o so_o do_v david_n here_o in_o this_o place_n say_v so_o be_v it_o even_o so_o be_v it_o as_o though_o his_o hart_n have_v be_v scarce_o awake_a at_o the_o first_o a_o man_n that_o will_v fain_o have_v a_o thing_n which_o he_o need_v indeed_o will_v say_v be_v ask_v if_o he_o will_v have_v it_o oh_o yea_o yea_o yea_o &_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o he_o can_v away_o withal_o he_o will_v say_v oh_o no_o no_o no_o often_o together_o as_o if_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v it_o too_o often_o as_o the_o first_o can_v not_o desire_v it_o too_o much_o this_o may_v the_o church_n do_v if_o their_o heart_n be_v touch_v with_o their_o own_o want_n &_o weakness_n but_o this_o do_v not_o serve_v to_o maintain_v any_o idle_a &_o unnecessary_a repetition_n such_o as_o be_v use_v in_o popery_n &_o conden_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o scribe_n &_o pharisy_n 6._o in_o popery_n they_o babble_n one_o thing_n oftentimes_o jesus_n jesus_n jesus_n &_o you_o must_v say_v over_o the_o lord_n prayer_n so_o many_o and_o so_o many_o time_n together_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v be_v hear_v say_v they_o and_o so_o they_o play_v in_o their_o chant_v &_o curious_a sing_n which_o be_v more_o like_o the_o hunt_n of_o y_z e_z fore_n them_z any_o spiritual_a &_o holy_a service_n of_o god_n they_o be_v sometime_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n almost_o in_o sing_v some_o one_o word_n alas_o poor_a soul_n they_o think_v y_z t_o god_n be_v delight_v as_o man_n be_v &_o they_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o sleep_n as_o baal_n priest_n think_v &_o therefore_o they_o call_v often_o but_o god_n child_n feel_v their_o own_o heart_n a_o sleep_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o cry_v often_o in_o the_o same_o word_n so_o be_v it_o even_o so_o be_v it_o say_v the_o holy_a prophet_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v do_v i_o speak_v it_o i_o will_v say_v it_o again_o i_o do_v not_o repent_v i_o of_o it_o i_o be_o not_o afraid_a i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a if_o i_o say_v it_o not_o with_o such_o feel_v the_o first_o time_n as_o i_o ought_v i_o will_v say_v it_o again_o to_o show_v how_o careful_a how_o constant_a how_o bold_a and_o how_o holy_a we_o shall_v be_v in_o praise_v of_o god_n for_o many_o time_n in_o our_o prayer_n our_o mind_n be_v cross_v with_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o so_o that_o god_n have_v not_o the_o hart_n they_o to_o it_o again_o hart_n what_o say_v thou_o then_o so_o be_v it_o even_o so_o be_v it_o some_o think_v a_o cold_a word_n unreverent_o bluster_v out_o to_o be_v good_a enough_o for_o god_n and_o be_v ashamed_a to_o amend_v any_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v amiss_o and_o afraid_a to_o stand_v to_o a_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v well_o some_o will_v utter_v in_o table_n talk_v whatsoever_o come_v in_o their_o mind_n of_o god_n &_o against_o he_o too_o sometime_o &_o when_o they_o shall_v either_o defend_v it_o or_o deny_v it_o or_o reform_v it_o they_o turn_v it_o away_o with_o a_o jest_n nay_o sir_n it_o be_v not_o my_o

god_n be_v it_o think_v you_o a_o small_a matter_n thus_o to_o quench_v or_o to_o gréeve_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o any_o of_o our_o brethren_n do_v we_o stand_v by_o ourselves_o shall_v we_o never_o fall_v ay_o we_o never_o fall_v ourselves_o what_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v pull_v the_o staff_n of_o his_o grace_n from_o we_o then_o we_o shall_v fall_v with_o shame_n enough_o and_o then_o

say_v to_o such_o kind_n of_o person_n in_o the_o 52._o psalm_n etc._n why_o do_v thou_o boast_v thyself_o in_o thy_o wickedness_n o_o man_n of_o power_n the_o love_a kindness_n of_o god_n endure_v daily_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o think_v thyself_o a_o jolly_a fellow_n and_o take_v pride_n in_o thy_o wickedness_n as_o though_o thou_o be_v a_o great_a man_n of_o power_n and_o shall_v never_o come_v down_o and_o because_o god_n do_v suffer_v thou_o from_o day_n to_o day_n wait_v for_o thy_o repentance_n thou_o think_v either_o that_o he_o can_v or_o dare_v not_o or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o thou_o but_o now_o see_v thyself_o in_o thy_o colour_n and_o then_o judge_v what_o cause_n thou_o have_v to_o brag_v it_o out_o as_o thou_o do_v against_o all_o the_o

shall_v take_v thou_o and_o pluck_v thou_o out_o of_o thy_o tabernacle_n and_o root_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n the_o righteous_a also_o shall_v see_v it_o and_o fear_v and_o
