yet_o i_o proceed_v to_o prove_v that_o no_o idolater_n can_v be_v save_v but_o by_o repentance_n for_o their_o know_a sin_n and_o crave_v pardon_n with_o david_n for_o their_o hide_a sin_n and_o

will_v lay_v to_o my_o chardg_fw-mi that_o i_o shall_v call_v all_o man_n idolater_n whereas_o i_o never_o use_v such_o a_o word_n in_o all_o my_o write_n but_o only_o answer_v his_o folly_n in_o this_o run_v out_o from_o the_o question_n they_o be_v his_o own_o word_n that_o bring_v this_o upon_o his_o own_o head_n by_o conclude_a that_o if_o every_o sin_n against_o the_o first_o table_n be_v

whether_o i_o may_v not_o say_v that_z they_o which_o transgress_v the_o first_o or_o second_o commandment_n do_v commit_v idolatry_n without_o absurdity_n but_o say_v he_o though_o it_o be_v so_o yet_o the_o scripture_n call_v not_o the_o godly_a murderer_n idolater_n etc._z for_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n remain_v i_o answer_v that_o therefore_o your_o former_a absurd_a cavil_v where_o you_o say_v if_o we_o hold_v it_o idolatry_n etc_o be_v by_o your_o own_o mouth_n full_o answer_v but_o to_o avoid_v this_o foil_n he_o have_v a_o other_o evasion_n i_o think_v say_v he_o we_o have_v

between_o proseuche_n and_o anagnosis_fw-la prayer_n and_o read_n the_o one_o be_v a_o pour_a four_o of_o vow_n petition_n supplication_n the_o other_o a_o receive_n into_o the_o soul_n of_o such_o

the_o whole_a use_n of_o those_o divers_a action_n through_o the_o whole_a bible_n show_v it_o can_v now_o where_o i_o say_v that_o you_o teach_v man_n instead_o of_o pour_v four_o their_o heart_n to_o help_v themselves_o with_o matter_n and_o word_n out_o of_o a_o book_n you_o say_v i_o speak_v fond_o and_o foolish_o etc._z my_o answer_n now_o be_v it_o be_v well_o i_o lie_v not_o if_z i_o

straight_o you_o sa●_n you_o wish_v all_o man_n to_o use_v the_o help_n of_o the_o book_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_a power_n four_o their_o heart_n unto_o god_n be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o thorough_o able_a first_o you_o grant_v here_o the_o prayer_n read_v upon_o the_o book_n be_v not_o the_o pour_a four_o of_o the_o heart_n but_o aught_o to_o be_v use_v only_o as_o a_o help_n

of_o prayer_n say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o by_o shift_n &_o cavil_n etc._n etc._n here_o you_o think_v you_o have_v put_v i_o to_o a_o plunge_n yourself_o need_v nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o i_o allow_v the_o commandment_n holy_a and_o good_a and_o to_o extend_v to_o all_o christian_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o apostle_n namely_o to_o use_v that_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n as_o the_o perfect_a pattern_n and_o direction_n to_o all_o man_n true_a prayer_n but_o you_o i_o trust_v will_v make_v difference_n betwixt_o a_o form_n to_o all_o prayer_n and_o pray_v or_o prayer_n

matter_n before_o i_o hear_v it_o in_o your_o first_o entrance_n of_o this_o discourse_n you_o be_v round_o in_o your_o syllogism_n by_o two_o at_o once_o to_o wrest_v my_o word_n and_o can_v find_v none_o for_o yourself_o it_o seem_v your_o conscience_n be_v witness_v the_o matter_n will_v not_o hang_v together_o and_o i_o think_v you_o have_v never_o more_o need_v to_o have_v show_v what_o you_o will_v draw_v from_o this_o place_n luke_n 11._o see_v i_o either_o mistake_v you_o last_o time_n or_o else_o you_o make_v a_o simple_a collection_n which_o be_v this_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o

that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v they_o meditate_v that_o scripture_n but_o this_o i_o perceive_v be_v not_o your_o meaning_n now_o i_o partly_o think_v your_o argument_n shall_v be_v if_o the_o sword_n be_v not_o break_v in_o the_o sheath_n thus_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n when_o they_o pray_v to_o say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o read_v over_o or_o say_v by_o rote_n certain_a word_n be_v law_n full_a pray_v for_o the_o first_o that_z our_o saviour_n christ_n tie_v no_o man_n or_o command_v none_o to_o say_v over_o those_o very_a word_n when_o they_o pray_v but_o to_o pray_v according_a to_o that_o form_n after_o that_o manner_n as_o matth._n 6._o i_o manifest_v in_o my_o first_o writing_n 1._o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o
