A01730	A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

this_o psalm_n be_v give_v to_o the_o isralite_n in_o time_n of_o their_o captivity_n at_o babylon_n or_o some_o other_o such_o calamity_n to_o comfort_v and_o instruct_v they_o how_o to_o settle_v

see_v the_o like_a by_o habbacuc_n prescribe_v the_o people_n a_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o comfort_v themselves_o and_o deliver_v it_o to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o assembly_n moreover_o after_o many_o other_o word_n master_n greenwood_n say_v thus_o and_o that_o sing_v of_o psalm_n be_v no_o part_n of_o prayer_n we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o exhortation_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v to_o the_o ephesian_n say_v speak_v unto_o yourselves_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n and_o to_o the_o collos_n where_o it_o be_v say_v let_v the_o word_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o you_o plenteous_o in_o all_o wisdom_n teach_v &_o admonish_v yourselves_o in_o psalm_n &_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n and_o further_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n our_o saviour_n do_v give_v thanks_o and_o then_o sing_v a_o psalm_n after_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o that_o sing_v be_v a_o rejoice_n ourselves_o and_o instruct_v ourselves_o now_o let_v the_o reader_n

unconscionable_a slander_n and_o with_o much_o evil_a conscience_n master_n greenwood_n deny_v the_o use_n of_o prescript_n form_n when_o we_o speak_v unto_o god_n and_o i_o allege_v the_o psalm_n demand_v how_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o people_n be_v to_o say_v over_o those_o word_n unto_o god_n and_o after_o as_o you_o see_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v utter_v or_o say_v over_o to_o god_n pray_v he_o allege_v the_o say_n of_o paul_n speak_v to_o yourselves_o and_o instruct_v yourself_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n leave_v out_o in_o

confess_v now_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a that_o the_o psalm_n be_v to_o be_v sing_v to_o god_n and_o yet_o you_o do_v ask_v how_o i_o will_v prove_v the_o people_n be_v to_o say_v over_o the_o word_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o very_a prescript_n form_n of_o word_n be_v to_o be_v say_v over_o to_o god_n by_o your_o confession_n which_o be_v the_o whole_a matter_n that_o i_o have_v stand_v to_o prove_v and_o now_o choose_v whether_o you_o will_v deny_v that_o psalm_n be_v to_o be_v sing_v to_o god_n or_o confess_v that_o those_o very_a word_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o the_o prescript_n form_n be_v to_o be_v say_v over_o unto_o he_o in_o sing_v what_o will_v he_o say_v now_o this_o he_o will_v say_v that_o they_o be_v in_o those_o word_n to_o be_v song_n unto_o god_n but_o not_o pray_v for_o he_o say_v i_o must_v prove_v the_o church_n do_v use_v to_o read_v the_o psalm_n for_o pray_v i_o wonder_v how_o a_o man_n can_v speak_v to_o god_n the_o sentence_n which_o be_v prayer_n and_o not_o pray_v again_o i_o will_v have_v any_o brownist_n show_v i_o what_o speech_n we_o can_v have_v to_o god_n which_o be_v not_o prayer_n if_o he_o say_v a_o man_n do_v speak_v to_o god_n in_o give_v he_o thanks_n and_o praise_n in_o acknowlege_v his_o benefit_n in_o ascribe_v unto_o he_o all_o wisdom_n power_n glory_n goodness_n bountifulness_n faithfulness_n and_o

be_v all_o of_o they_o part_n of_o prayer_n why_o do_v a_o man_n give_v thanks_n and_o praise_n and_o mention_n god_n benefit_n but_o to_o support_v his_o faith_n and_o hope_v that_o he_o shall_v receive_v further_o and_o to_o move_v the_o lord_n to_o continue_v still_o good_a unto_o he_o or_o such_o like_a why_o do_v we_o speak_v unto_o he_o of_o his_o glorious_a power_n wisdom_n mercy_n and_o truth_n but_o that_o our_o faith_n and_o prayer_n do_v rest_n upon_o those_o pillar_n why_o do_v we_o confess_v our_o sin_n but_o as_o entreat_v for_o pardon_n and_o what_o do_v we_o rehearse_v the_o unjust_a outrage_n of_o our_o adversary_n but_o to_o procure_v his_o just_a defence_n and_o protection_n but_o he_o demand_v what_o this_o make_v for_o read_v prayer_n frame_v by_o man_n i_o answer_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n which_o i_o have_v ever_o do_v that_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o poor_a caville_n that_o may_v be_v among_o a_o thousand_o we_o reason_v not_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o prayer_n but_o about_o the_o read_n for_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v corrupt_a and_o naught_o the_o pronounce_v or_o the_o read_n can_v make_v it_o better_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v erroneous_a it_o be_v no_o more_o authentic_a pronounce_v then_o read_v if_o it_o be_v pure_a and_o good_a pronounce_v the_o read_n can_v hurt_v it_o or_o make_v it_o unpure_a the_o read_v itself_o be_v not_o unpure_a when_o we_o speak_v to_o god_n for_o than_o shall_v not_o the_o psalm_n have_v be_v song_n upon_o the_o book_n unto_o he_o who_o be_v so_o senseless_a then_o as_o not_o to_o see_v this_o conclusion_n to_o follow_v to_o utter_v a_o prescript_n form_n of_o word_n in_o a_o psalm_n when_o one_o speak_v to_o god_n be_v no_o sin_n therefore_o to_o follow_v a_o prescript_n form_n of_o word_n in_o any_o godly_a prayer_n when_o one_o pray_v be_v not_o sin_n for_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v the_o sin_n if_o it_o be_v in_o follow_v a_o prescript_n form_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v unlawful_a to_o follow_v it_o in_o the_o psalm_n if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o matter_n because_o there_o be_v error_n in_o all_o man_n writing_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v cast_v forth_o then_o i_o say_v the_o error_n and_o not_o the_o read_n be_v in_o the_o fault_n and_o for_o which_o only_o there_o must_v be_v the_o cast_v forth_o and_o so_o we_o must_v cast_v forth_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o preacher_n to_o his_o next_o word_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o repeat_n over_o the_o same_o godly_a petition_n again_o every_o day_n that_o make_v it_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n but_o when_o man_n do_v it_o of_o custom_n without_o faith_n and_o fervent_a affection_n for_o if_o a_o man_n with_o faith_n and_o zeal_n pray_v every_o day_n the_o same_o prayer_n to_o god_n it_o be_v acceptable_a the_o rest_n of_o his_o word_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o repeat_n and_o yet_o he_o conclude_v most_o false_o that_o read_v prayer_n have_v no_o warrant_n in_o god_n word_n the_o next_o argumentis_fw-la this_o we_o may_v not_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n receive_v any_o tradition_n which_o bringerh_n our_o liberty_n into_o bondage_n read_v prayer_n upon_o commandment_n be_v a_o tradition_n that_o do_v bring_v our_o liberty_n into_o bondage_n against_o this_o i_o oppose_v that_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o our_o saviour_n give_v prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n and_o if_o the_o very_o follow_v a_o prescript_n form_n impose_v by_o commandment_n be_v so_o detestable_a a_o thing_n how_o be_v not_o they_o charge_v with_o this_o heinous_a sin_n he_o answer_v
