which_o have_v not_o minister_n with_o they_o to_o guide_v they_o in_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o either_o use_v the_o common_a prayer_n or_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o this_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o fact_n of_o those_o which_o without_o any_o objection_n mention_v against_o any_o prayer_n in_o that_o book_n which_o be_v the_o only_a help_n for_o the_o devotion_n of_o many_o thousand_o leave_v they_o for_o some_o month_n to_o perfect_a irreligion_n and_o atheism_n and_o not_o pray_v at_o all_o and_o beside_o these_o ship_n which_o they_o here_o confess_v how_o many_o land-company_n be_v there_o in_o the_o same_o condition_n how_o many_o thousand_o family_n which_o have_v no_o minister_n in_o they_o of_o which_o number_n the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v always_o wont_a to_o be_v

for_o sure_a your_o care_n for_o the_o university_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o be_v likely_a to_o work_v miracle_n which_o will_v not_o have_v skill_n or_o power_n or_o gift_n which_o you_o

and_o abolition_n of_o our_o liturgy_n that_o it_o will_v prove_v a_o most_o expedite_a way_n to_o bring_v in_o atheism_n and_o this_o it_o seem_v you_o do_v already_o discern_v and_o confess_v in_o the_o next_o word_n that_o the_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o which_o succeed_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o liturgy_n be_v likely_a to_o make_v they_o rather_o heathen_n than_o christian_n and_o have_v leave_v the_o lord_n day_n without_o any_o mark_n of_o piety_n or_o devotion_n a_o sad_a and_o most_o considerable_a truth_n which_o some_o person_n ought_v to_o lament_v with_o a_o wound_a bleed_a conscience_n the_o long_a day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o believe_v your_o charity_n to_o be_v more_o extensive_a than_o the_o title_n of_o that_o book_n enlarge_v it_o and_o that_o it_o have_v design_v this_o supply_n not_o only_o to_o those_o ship_n but_o to_o all_o other_o in_o the_o like_a want_n of_o our_o liturgy_n your_o only_a blame_n in_o this_o particular_a have_v be_v that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o ingenuous_a as_o judas_n and_o some_o other_o that_o have_v soon_o retract_v their_o precipicous_a action_n and_o confess_v they_o do_v so_o and_o make_v restitution_n present_o while_o you_o rather_o than_o you_o will_v to_o rescue_v man_n from_o heathenism_n cause_v by_o your_o abolition_n restore_v the_o book_n again_o and_o confess_v you_o have_v sin_v in_o condemn_v a_o innocent_a liturgy_n will_v appoint_v some_o assembler_n to_o compile_v a_o poor_a sorry_a piteous_a form_n of_o his_o own_o of_o which_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o your_o great_a flatterer_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o low_a that_o it_o can_v come_v into_o any_o term_n of_o comparison_n or_o competition_n with_o those_o form_n already_o prescribe_v in_o our_o book_n and_o so_o still_o you_o justify_v your_o error_n even_o while_o you_o confess_v it_o sect_n 3_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v now_o hope_v that_o it_o will_v be_v no_o grief_n of_o heart_n to_o full_a christian_n if_o the_o thirsty_a drink_n out_o of_o cistern_n when_o themselves_o drink_v out_o of_o fountain_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v the_o special_a part_n of_o that_o ground_n on_o which_o we_o have_v first_o form_v &_o now_o labour_v to_o preserve_v our_o liturgy_n on_o purpose_n that_o weak_a christian_n may_v have_v this_o constant_a supply_n for_o their_o infirmity_n that_o weak_a minister_n may_v not_o be_v force_v to_o betray_v their_o weakness_n that_o they_o that_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n as_o even_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n there_o be_v divers_a gift_n and_o all_o minister_n have_v not_o promise_v to_o succeed_v in_o all_o but_o one_o in_o one_o another_o in_o another_o gift_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n may_v have_v the_o help_n of_o these_o common_a gift_n and_o stand_v treasure_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o church_n and_o because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o of_o these_o kind_n to_o be_v look_v for_o in_o a_o church_n that_o those_o which_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v as_o they_o ought_v without_o a_o form_n may_v yet_o in_o public_a submit_v to_o be_v thus_o restrain_v to_o the_o use_n of_o so_o excellent_a a_o form_n thus_o set_v before_o

weak_a both_o minister_n and_o people_n will_v not_o now_o i_o hope_v be_v charge_v on_o the_o liturgy_n by_o those_o who_o hope_v their_o supply_n of_o prayer_n will_v be_v no_o grief_n to_o other_o sect_n 4_o 3._o that_o these_o prayer_n be_v enliven_v and_o send_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n in_o he_o that_o pray_v may_v be_v lively_a prayer_n and_o acceptable_a to_o he_o who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o accept_v of_o service_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n where_o 1._o it_o appear_v by_o that_o confession_n that_o as_o the_o place_n that_o speak_v of_o worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n be_v
