liturgy_n 6._o p._n 6._o instead_o of_o intimate_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o reform_v the_o old_a method_n of_o pray_v by_o form_n do_v show_v his_o approbation_n of_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o a_o prescribe_a form_n but_o he_o may_v with_o as_o much_o clearness_n have_v push_v his_o inference_n from_o those_o premise_n further_o viz._n that_o he_o do_v show_v his_o approbation_n at_o least_o of_o his_o follower_n compose_v form_n of_o prayer_n if_o they_o be_v to_o compose_v any_o for_o constant_a public_a use_n only_a out_o of_o the_o jewish_a liturgy_n i_o may_v further_o mind_v you_o that_o the_o doctor_n do_v ordinary_o discourse_v too_o loose_o concern_v form_n of_o prayer_n as_o not_o be_v mindful_a of_o what_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o discourse_v of_o for_o if_o he_o find_v any_o word_n use_v in_o prayer_n which_o be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o any_o where_o else_o before_o those_o word_n he_o allege_v for_o proof_n that_o the_o whole_a prayer_n be_v a_o form_n thus_o christ_n use_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n on_o the_o cross_n say_v the_o doctor_n extract_v out_o of_o the_o 22d_o 7._o p._n 7._o psalm_n which_o begin_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o but_o pray_v who_o do_v extract_v the_o petition_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o form_n for_o he_o and_o oblige_v he_o even_o on_o that_o occasion_n to_o use_v no_o other_o word_n but_o what_o be_v ready_o provide_v to_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o next_o paragraph_v the_o doctor_n free_o grant_v 9_o p._n 9_o that_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v not_o only_o a_o form_n but_o also_o a_o direction_n to_o draw_v other_o form_n by_o so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n but_o have_v liturgy_n which_o be_v draw_v up_o by_o the_o lord_n prayer_n but_o if_o we_o be_v not_o limit_v to_o the_o lord_n prayer_n but_o may_v use_v liturgy_n which_o be_v no_o other_o word_n but_o such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o it_o both_z as_o to_o the_o form_n and_o matter_n of_o they_o which_o be_v but_o a_o odd_a sort_n of_o expression_n to_o fall_v from_o a_o learned_a doctor_n why_o may_v not_o minister_n keep_v to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n use_v other_o word_n than_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o liturgy_n as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v for_o liturgy_n may_v use_v other_o word_n then_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n this_o concession_n we_o have_v from_o the_o doctor_n upon_o his_o take_a notice_n that_o mr._n clarkson_n have_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v ancient_o use_v but_o not_o out_o of_o any_o apprehension_n that_o christ_n do_v 4._o p._n 3_o 4._o in_o mat._n 6._o enjoin_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v it_o mr._n clarkson_n show_v that_o some_o eminent_a person_n both_o ancient_a and_o more_o late_a writer_n be_v of_o this_o opinion_n whether_o his_o quote_v so_o many_o for_o that_o particular_a be_v to_o the_o purpose_n i_o leave_v the_o indifferent_a reader_n to_o determine_v but_o because_o the_o doctor_n say_v maldonat_n only_o tell_v we_o 11._o p._n 11._o we_o be_v not_o always_o bind_v to_o use_v those_o very_a word_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o maldonat_n word_n be_v non_fw-la his_fw-la necessario_fw-la verbis_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o i_o conceive_v do_v rather_o signify_v we_o be_v not_o absolute_o bind_v to_o use_v those_o very_a word_n at_o any_o time_n but_o take_v the_o word_n if_o you_o please_v according_a to_o the_o doctor_n interpretation_n if_o he_o think_v maldonat_a in_o the_o right_n provide_v such_o a_o construction_n may_v be_v borrow_v for_o his_o word_n that_o be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o always_o bind_v to_o use_v our_o lord_n very_a word_n i_o will_v glad_o know_v then_o how_o we_o come_v to_o be_v bind_v to_o use_v always_o other_o people_n word_n the_o doctor_n next_o speak_v of_o a_o gift_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o represent_v as_o if_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o it_o a_o extraordinary_a assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o teach_v man_n new_a word_n and_o phrase_n in_o ordinary_a case_n and_o for_o their_o daily_a prayer_n whereas_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n no_o more_o be_v mean_v than_o a_o ability_n to_o represent_v the_o sentiment_n of_o a_o soul_n due_o affect_v with_o the_o general_n and_o particular_a subject_a matter_n of_o prayer_n in_o proper_a and_o suitable_a expression_n and_o such_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o beget_v and_o excite_v and_o improve_v such_o resentment_n and_o affection_n in_o those_o who_o shall_v hear_v and_o join_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o that_o purpose_n the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n sober_o consider_v do_v not_o imply_v any_o necessity_n as_o the_o doctor_n hint_n constant_o to_o vary_v and_o use_v all_o new_a word_n indeed_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o gift_n can_v very_o well_o consist_v with_o a_o obligation_n constant_o to_o use_v the_o very_a same_o word_n nor_o be_v it_o usual_o pretend_v that_o this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o as_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o heart_n or_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v a_o lively_a apprehension_n and_o affectionate_a sense_n of_o what_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a matter_n of_o prayer_n so_o the_o person_n who_o be_v thus_o inward_o dispose_v have_v ordinary_o a_o readiness_n to_o express_v himself_o in_o word_n which_o bear_v some_o proportion_n to_o the_o disposition_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o which_o be_v very_o proper_a to_o kindle_v and_o excite_v the_o like_a affection_n disposition_n and_o inclination_n in_o other_o who_o do_v serious_o attend_v unto_o they_o though_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a word_n very_o pertinent_a to_o be_v use_v in_o prayer_n for_o general_a or_o particular_a mercy_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v other_o word_n every_o jot_n as_o pertinent_a which_o be_v use_v as_o occasion_n offer_v may_v be_v more_o serviceable_a and_o contribute_v more_o to_o further_o the_o common_a or_o more_o appropriate_a end_n of_o public_a prayer_n than_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o other_o word_n the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a of_o prayer_n but_o yet_o those_o who_o be_v most_o for_o liturgy_n be_v for_o have_v other_o form_n frame_v wherein_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v ask_v in_o other_o word_n now_o those_o judicious_a person_n who_o pray_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v pray_v for_o in_o prescribe_a form_n without_o tie_v themselves_o up_o strict_o to_o the_o word_n use_v in_o those_o form_n do_v differ_v no_o more_o from_o the_o form_n which_o have_v not_o their_o word_n in_o they_o than_o those_o form_n do_v from_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o if_o the_o variation_n of_o form_n from_o the_o lord_n prayer_n may_v be_v true_o beneficial_a and_o advantageous_a unto_o the_o people_n why_o may_v not_o the_o like_a variation_n from_o (null)_o form_n be_v equal_o advantageous_a i_o will_v propound_v one_o thing_n the_o more_o to_o explain_v this_o matter_n which_o more_o near_o relate_v to_o the_o doctor_n he_o have_v paraphrase_a the_o several_a prayer_n in_o our_o common-prayer_n book_n so_o that_o the_o particular_a prayer_n in_o that_o book_n be_v by_o his_o labour_n and_o industry_n and_o gift_n make_v large_a and_o express_v in_o other_o word_n the_o same_o thing_n be_v request_v etc._n etc._n in_o his_o large_a prayer_n which_o be_v request_v in_o the_o short_a prayer_n in_o our_o common_a book_n now_o let_v he_o consider_v whether_o he_o have_v not_o such_o apprehension_n and_o affection_n in_o his_o mind_n and_o soul_n relate_v to_o the_o particular_n petition_v and_o confess_v etc._n etc._n in_o the_o prayer_n contain_v in_o our_o common_a book_n at_o that_o time_n as_o he_o think_v may_v be_v more_o commodious_o and_o advantageous_o express_v and_o represent_v than_o they_o be_v by_o the_o word_n use_v in_o the_o book_n or_o whether_o such_o expression_n do_v not_o occur_v to_o he_o as_o he_o think_v will_v if_o due_o attend_v to_o help_v people_n devotion_n more_o than_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n will_v by_o themselves_o he_o certain_o have_v some_o design_n in_o vary_v and_o alter_v the_o word_n and_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o believe_v he_o have_v a_o honest_a design_n now_o if_o his_o use_v other_o expression_n about_o the_o same_o matter_n and_o alter_v form_n of_o prayer_n so_o as_o to_o make_v of_o short_a prayer_n long_a one_o be_v of_o real_a use_n to_o promote_v devotion_n why_o may_v not_o other_o variation_n be_v in_o their_o measure_n useful_a too_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o his_o variation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v public_o i_o ask_v whether_o they_o be_v ever_o the_o better_a for_o that_o or_o whether_o his_o variation_n be_v the_o more_o useful_a because_o
