the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o god_n have_v shed_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o child_n without_o read_v or_o say_v by_o rote_n any_o number_n of_o word_n and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v

may_v perfect_o and_o entire_o worship_n god_n i_o say_v perform_v all_o the_o part_n of_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o this_o appear_v by_o the_o constant_a and_o general_a practice_n of_o all_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o true_o worship_v the_o lord_n many_o year_n before_o any_o such_o read_v stint_v service_n be_v devise_v or_o impose_v 3._o this_o external_a mean_n and_o

prayer_n and_o this_o appear_v in_o that_o man_n be_v so_o strict_o tie_v unto_o they_o as_o till_o they_o stint_v be_v out_o the_o spirit_n which_o the_o lord_n give_v his_o child_n may_v not_o

child_n with_o spiritual_a gift_n who_o according_o pray_v or_o at_o least_o all_o may_v not_o with_o prescript_n word_n but_o with_o such_o as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n god_n prepare_v their_o heart_n and_o bend_v his_o ear_n 7._o the_o truth_n bring_v forth_o no_o absurdity_n but_o this_o do_v 8.26_o for_o example_n the_o spirit_n say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o all_o christian_n help_v our_o infirmity_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v yes_o paul_n with_o your_o leave_n right_o well_o for_o we_o have_v in_o our_o liturgy_n what_o we_o
