a_o place_n be_v so_o under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v so_o still_o under_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v a_o place_n come_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o be_v separate_v from_o common_a use_n and_o dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n exod._n 13.12_o thou_o shall_v set_v apart_o all_o that_o open_v the_o matrix_fw-la unto_o the_o lord_n now_o st._n luke_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o

to_o be_v account_v sacred_a so_o that_o the_o notion_n of_o holiness_n consist_v in_o this_o in_o be_v separate_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o god_n the_o religious_a person_n whilst_o he_o be_v

holy_a ghost_n 2._o if_o demand_v what_o kind_n of_o holiness_n a_o place_n be_v capable_a of_o i_o answer_v a_o place_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o inherent_a holiness_n as_o man_n soul_n be_v but_o only_o of_o a_o relative_n holiness_n and_o if_o you_o will_v show_v so_o much_o reverence_n to_o a_o prince_n as_o to_o be_v uncover_v in_o his_o presence_n chamber_n certain_o you_o ought_v to_o show_v as_o much_o to_o god_n to_o be_v uncover_v in_o his_o sanctuary_n if_o it_o be_v say_v true_a under_o the_o law_n we_o grant_v thing_n have_v a_o relative_n holiness_n but_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v they_o have_v so_o under_o the_o gospel_n i_o answer_v time_n and_o place_n be_v receptive_a of_o holiness_n alike_o we_o know_v that_o all_o time_n be_v he_o for_o he_o make_v all_o our_o day_n all_o thing_n be_v he_o for_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o falness_n thereof_o but_o now_o if_o under_o the_o gospel_n some_o time_n may_v be_v more_o peculiarly_a his_o than_o as_o all_o time_n be_v his_o and_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v more_o peculiar_o he_o than_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v he_o then_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o peculiarly_a his_o may_v have_v a_o relative_n holiness_n in_o they_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o under_o the_o law_n for_o the_o relative_n holiness_n consist_v in_o this_o peculiar_a separation_n to_o almighty_a god_n now_o that_o some_o time_n may_v be_v peculiar_o he_o be_v plain_a by_o st._n john_n calling_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o lord_n day_n rev._n 1.10_o that_o be_v set_z apart_z for_o his_o service_n by_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o church_n instead_o of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v peculiarly_a his_o as_o do_v appear_v by_o st._n peter_n speech_n to_o ananias_n whilst_o it_o remain_v be_v it_o not_o thy_o own_o etc._n etc._n act_v 5.4_o but_o to_o keep_v back_o what_o be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n be_v a_o rob_n of_o god_n a_o lie_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o man_n so_o that_o you_o see_v god_n may_v have_v a_o peculiarity_n in_o thing_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o under_o the_o law_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o day_n you_o ought_v to_o keep_v it_o holy_a if_o in_o a_o house_n god_n will_v have_v you_o keep_v your_o foot_n when_o you_o enter_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o have_v a_o generation_n among_o we_o that_o cry_v up_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o strict_a observance_n of_o it_o as_o if_o in_o its_o minute_n appendage_n it_o bind_v we_o almost_o as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v the_o jew_n and_o yet_o these_o very_a man_n will_v cry_v down_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n and_o account_v themselves_o very_o holy_a in_o so_o do_v whereas_o in_o leu._n 19.30_o god_n join_v they_o both_o together_o say_v you_o shall_v keep_v my_o sabbath_n and_o reverence_v my_o sanctuary_n if_o the_o four_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n bound_v we_o now_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n as_o they_o contend_v why_o do_v their_o practice_n in_o kindle_v their_o fire_n in_o dress_v their_o food_n contradict_v their_o

supplication_n consist_v chief_o in_o a_o fervent_a application_n of_o the_o mind_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v desire_v and_o to_o almighty_a god_n of_o who_o it_o be_v desire_v it_o necessary_o

any_o thing_n before_o god_n which_o wise_a solomon_n never_o admire_v and_o as_o for_o what_o you_o say_v concern_v the_o schoolboy_n the_o same_o objection_n may_v have_v be_v bring_v against_o

second_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o a_o private_a prayer_n and_o a_o public_a prayer_n a_o private_a prayer_n point_v to_o the_o sore_a of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a whereof_o perhaps_o all_o circumstance_n consider_v not_o one_o of_o many_o be_v guilty_a but_o a_o public_a prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o compose_v that_o it_o may_v concern_v all_o the_o congregation_n and_o all_o the_o people_n may_v say_v amen_o to_o it_o now_o for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o want_n only_o may_v be_v a_o good_a prayer_n for_o his_o private_a devotion_n but_o it_o can_v be_v so_o proper_a or_o so_o profitable_a for_o the_o public_a as_o a_o set_a form_n wherein_o the_o composer_n consider_v the_o usual_a want_n of_o all_o mankind_n if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o prefer_v a_o petition_n to_o his_o prince_n will_v he_o speak_v extempore_o why_o what_o thou_o will_v not_o offer_v to_o he_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o offer_v to_o god_n mal._n 1.8_o the_o reason_n be_v full_a of_o moral_a equity_n god_n be_v a_o great_a king_n than_o he_o if_o you_o will_v be_v ashamed_a or_o afraid_a to_o bring_v indigested_a stuff_n to_o the_o one_o much_o more_o shall_v you_o be_v so_o affect_v to_o bring_v abortive_a conception_n before_o the_o other_o we_o may_v as_o well_o pray_v a_o set_a prayer_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o sing_v a_o set_a psalm_n by_o the_o spirit_n now_o even_o their_o own_o practice_n bear_v witness_n these_o man_n can_v sing_v a_o set_a psalm_n by_o the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v after_o a_o gracious_a manner_n so_o that_o nothing_o but_o inadvertency_n to_o their_o own_o custom_n make_v they_o grant_v the_o one_o and_o deny_v the_o other_o indeed_o they_o do_v

for_o the_o future_a that_o their_o prayer_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o their_o praise_n for_o these_o few_o reason_n with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n first_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o know_v beforehand_o with_o what_o word_n to_o pray_v as_o to_o what_o sense_n second_o they_o that_o pray_v not_o the_o same_o word_n do_v use_v most_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o other_o word_n as_o that_o god_n will_v forgive_v their_o sin_n avert_v his_o judgement_n strengthen_v their_o weak_a grace_n weaken_v their_o strong_a corruption_n and_o the_o

likewise_o hinder_v the_o devotion_n of_o the_o minister_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o people_n for_o his_o understanding_n may_v be_v so_o take_v up_o in_o think_v what_o to_o say_v next_o that_o he_o may_v be_v very_o formal_a as_o to_o his_o heart_n and_o many_o time_n will_v be_v force_v to_o be_v so_o for_o fear_n he_o shall_v be_v out_o five_o our_o experience_n have_v show_v we_o that_o
