will_v find_v no_o difference_n in_o this_o since_o you_o can_v say_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o use_v the_o psalm_n in_o meeter_n or_o with_o tune_n for_o nothing_o prove_v we_o ought_v to_o use_v they_o

it_o be_v clear_a most_o of_o they_o be_v not_o intend_v for_o constant_a use_n they_o relate_v to_o particular_n of_o david_n history_n and_o victory_n which_o belong_v not_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v we_o ought_v to_o sing_v his_o imprecatory_a psalm_n as_o also_o many_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o psalm_n which_o we_o can_v sing_v because_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v they_o

nor_o in_o any_o psalm_n why_o may_v not_o the_o church_n use_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o in_o the_o end_n of_o their_o sing_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o end_n of_o prayer_n be_v ordinary_o say_v to_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o such_o childish_a weakness_n make_v i_o sometime_o doubt_v whether_o your_o rational_a faculty_n be_v not_o

when_o he_o say_v take_v with_o you_o word_n and_o say_v etc._n etc._n our_o saviour_n also_o pray_v thrice_o and_o though_o the_o three_o time_n be_v more_o fervent_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o the_o

the_o council_n of_o laodicea_n it_o be_v decree_v that_o the_o same_o liturgy_n of_o prayer_n shall_v be_v use_v morning_n and_o evening_n it●_n be_v true_a there_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a

in_o extemporary_a prayer_n with_o which_o no_o doubt_n you_o yourself_o have_v be_v often_o much_o trouble_v but_o i_o bear_v that_o tender_a respect_n to_o every_o thing_n that_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o god_n service_n that_o i_o love_v not_o so_o to_o scoff_n at_o any_o thing_n look_v that_o way_n but_o you_o know_v these_o be_v sad_a truth_n whether_o then_o be_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o redress_v these_o abuse_n by_o a_o regular_a form_n n._n you_o know_v we_o have_v a_o directory_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o shall_v pray_v for_o c._n and_o why_o may_v not_o you_o have_v a_o directory_n for_o word_n as_o well_o as_o thing_n since_o the_o spirit_n rather_o help_v in_o thing_n than_o in_o word_n but_o it_o be_v clear_v you_o bring_v up_o that_o directory_n mere_o to_o cozen_v the_o world_n which_o otherwise_o may_v have_v be_v startle_v to_o have_v see_v you_o without_o all_o form_n or_o rule_v for_o worship_n for_o even_o your_o leader_n quick_o weary_v of_o it_o and_o regard_v it_o not_o and_o one_o thing_n clear_o follow_v that_o the_o preach_v be_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o the_o worship_n all_o the_o prayer_n and_o psalm_n relate_v to_o it_o but_o the_o constant_a act_n wherein_o the_o church_n shall_v adore_v god_n be_v think_v too_o homely_a to_o conclude_v the_o least_o evil_a of_o extemporary_a form_n be_v that_o a_o minister_n be_v ready_a to_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o god_n in_o such_o devotion_n as_o be_v then_o most_o in_o his_o own_o spirit_n suppose_v he_o be_v mourn_v for_o sin_n under_o affliction_n rejoice_v in_o god_n or_o the_o like_a he_o be_v apt_a to_o pray_v in_o these_o strain_n but_o these_o be_v his_o private_a exercise_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o public_a worship_n which_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v grave_a and_o solemn_a so_o it_o shall_v be_v general_a and_o comprehensive_a n._n i_o see_v you_o be_v for_o set-form_n but_o what_o reason_n have_v you_o for_o they_o sure_o the_o apostle_n use_v they_o not_o c._n you_o be_v not_o so_o sure_a as_o you_o imagine_v for_o i_o can_v doubt_v but_o they_o use_v our_o saviour_n prayer_n he_o teach_v they_o for_o whereas_o at_o first_o in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n he_o have_v give_v it_o as_o a_o pattern_n of_o prayer_n they_o afterward_o as_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o series_n of_o the_o gospel_n come_v and_o ask_v a_o form_n of_o he_o as_o st._n john_n have_v give_v his_o disciple_n and_o then_o he_o do_v not_o say_v as_o he_o former_o say_v after_o this_o manner_n pray_v but_o when_o you_o pray_v which_o clear_o show_v he_o intend_v it_o as_o a_o practice_n as_o well_o as_o a_o pattern_n nay_o further_o the_o jew_n at_o that_o time_n have_v a_o liturgy_n and_o their_o hour_n of_o prayer_n which_o our_o saviour_n never_o reprove_v as_o a_o formal_a thing_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o take_v his_o prayer_n word_n for_o word_n out_o of_o it_o as_o may_v be_v see_v if_o you_o will_v read_v their_o liturgy_n and_o this_o show_v how_o foolish_a that_o exception_n against_o the_o liturgy_n of_o england_n be_v that_o some_o of_o its_o prayer_n be_v translate_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a missal_n or_o breviary_n but_o though_o the_o apostle_n and_o person_n immediate_o inspire_v may_v pour_v out_o extemporary_a prayer_n thence_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o every_o one_o may_v assume_v the_o same_o liberty_n beside_o you_o see_v by_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o corinthian_n they_o use_v hymn_n of_o their_o compose_n as_o well_o as_o prayer_n now_o i_o can_v never_o comprehend_v why_o you_o will_v allow_v the_o spirit_n to_o be_v restrain_v in_o praise_v as_o to_o word_n and_o not_o in_o pray_v since_o both_o be_v duty_n equal_o spiritual_a nay_o perhaps_o praise_v be_v the_o most_o sublime_a of_o the_o two_o n._n because_o the_o plalm_n be_v a_o collection_n of_o praise_n dictate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o worship_n c._n this_o be_v all_o you_o can_v say_v upon_o the_o matter_n but_o never_o be_v more_o absurdity_n crowd_v in_o less_o bound_n and_o first_o it_o be_v clear_a we_o may_v worship_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o be_v restrain_v as_o to_o word_n since_o you_o acknowledge_v god_n have_v do_v it_o in_o praise_v next_o the_o psalm_n be_v full_a of_o act_n that_o be_v prayer_n as_o well_o as_o thanksgiving_n why_o may_v we_o not_o use_v these_o for_o constant_a prayer_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o for_o constant_a praise_n nay_o since_o we_o use_v to_o sing_v these_o prayer_n why_o may_v we_o not_o for_o instance_n use_v the_o 51._o psalm_n in_o plain_a word_n with_o a_o plain_a voice_n as_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o hobble_a rhyme_n with_o a_o tune_n sure_o you_o
