they_o judge_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o unlawful_a 2._o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n no_o man_n can_v join_v with_o another_o in_o prayer_n safe_o unless_o he_o know_v aforehand_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o content_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o we_o must_v have_v form_n of_o prayer_n for_o all_o occasion_n and_o emergency_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o hit_v of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o

that_o they_o assent_n not_o to_o petition_n before_o they_o be_v express_v and_o that_o they_o do_v dissent_n where_o they_o do_v not_o approve_v they_o though_o it_o be_v very_o seldom_o that_o
