superstition_n the_o constant_a neglect_n thereof_o be_v a_o antichristianlike_a extremity_n to_o hide_v by_o silence_n the_o chief_a principal_n of_o god_n truth_n which_o shall_v be_v confess_v before_o man_n 7._o papist_n also_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o a_o legal_a manner_n 8._o popish_a prelate_n be_v enemy_n to_o presbyterial_a government_n take_v upon_o themselves_o the_o whole_a power_n of_o church_n government_n so_o some_o pretend_a reformer_n will_v have_v the_o ministration_n of_o church_n government_n to_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o people_n that_o none_o shall_v rule_v above_o themselves_o 9_o the_o baptise_v of_o child_n only_o in_o the_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n be_v like_o popish_a confirmation_n which_o be_v a_o baptise_v of_o child_n in_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n as_o if_o the_o baptism_n ordain_v by_o christ_n be_v of_o no_o effect_n 10._o some_o deny_v that_o minister_n admit_v by_o bishop_n be_v lawful_o call_v though_o some_o bishop_n be_v actual_a minister_n popish_a prelate_n do_v take_v the_o power_n of_o admission_n from_o minister_n if_o they_o be_v not_o bishop_n so_o both_o be_v enemy_n to_o ministerial_a authority_n 11._o pharisaical_a professor_n separat_fw-la themselves_o at_o divine_a service_n not_o only_o from_o pagan_n but_o also_o from_o such_o weak_a christian_n as_o be_v not_o much_o respect_v among_o man_n so_o papist_n be_v much_o addict_v to_o separation_n man_n of_o church_n office_n be_v separat_fw-la from_o the_o people_n in_o that_o they_o be_v call_v clergy_n and_o the_o people_n laik_v and_o prelate_n as_o if_o they_o be_v more_o holy_a be_v separa-from_a the_o inferior_a order_n and_o they_o separat_fw-la all_o sound_a professor_n from_o themselves_o by_o

darkness_n 13._o to_o forbid_v read_v of_o scripture_n without_o interpretation_n be_v a_o hinder_v of_o people_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v to_o read_v any_o scripture_n at_o all_o for_o if_o people_n be_v persuade_v that_o public_a read_n edfi_v not_o what_o comfort_n can_v they_o expect_v of_o private_a read_n 14._o to_o forbid_v the_o public_a office_n of_o reader_n bring_v also_o private_a

before_o man_n in_o a_o worship_n wherein_o god_n shall_v be_v most_o glorify_v so_o antichristianlike_a it_o obscure_v god_n glory_n to_o forbid_v private_a prayer_n in_o church_n whether_o people_n be_v present_a or_o not_o it_o make_v a_o superstitious_a difference_n of_o place_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v worship_v in_o every_o place_n by_o christian_n in_o their_o general_a call_n papi_v make_v the_o like_a difference_n between_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o chancel_n or_o quire_n 16._o the_o antinomian_o be_v member_n of_o antichrist_n for_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n the_o chief_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o either_o contradict_v or_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n in_o all_o their_o tenet_n 17._o all_o the_o human_a tradition_n heresy_n and_o error_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o piety_n and_o reformation_n of_o religion_n and_o many_o embrace_v they_o through_o blind_a zeal_n thus_o be_v the_o foresay_a novation_n bring_v in_o none_o of_o they_o have_v warrant_n from_o scripture_n which_o be_v god_n reveal_v will_n a_o addition_n to_o the_o foutrh_n chapter_n 〈…〉_o 26._o

not_o meddle_v with_o these_o word_n because_o they_o be_v not_o new_a conception_n 2._o that_o text_n speak_v chief_o of_o preach_v which_o be_v the_o proper_a end_n of_o their_o particular_a call_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o preach_v use_v meditation_n read_v and_o other_o man_n travel_n as_o mean_n to_o help_v they_o but_o only_o look_v for_o new_a conception_n from_o god_n spirit_n it_o will_v almost_o seem_v that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v so_o use_v but_o the_o text_n prove_v nothing_o of_o these_o 3._o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n seem_v rather_o to_o favour_v set_v form_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v the_o spirit_n shall_v teach_v and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o your_o memory_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n here_o of_o new_a conception_n but_o of_o thing_n which_o christ_n speak_v to_o they_o before_o the_o text_n show_v that_o god_n spirit_n bring_v to_o man_n memory_n thing_n speak_v before_o 4._o god_n spirit_n give_v new_a conception_n and_o make_v to_o remember_v old_a conception_n forget_v and_o also_o to_o keep_v in_o memory_n conception_n not_o forget_v and_o he_o give_v man_n grace_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o conception_n new_a and_o old_a forget_v and_o not_o forget_v whether_o they_o be_v read_v from_o the_o visible_a book_n of_o paper_n or_o from_o the_o invisible_a book_n of_o the_o memory_n 5._o then_o as_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n be_v not_o only_a god_n work_n when_o they_o be_v new_o create_v but_o also_o they_o still_o remain_v god_n work_n so_o the_o conception_n of_o devout_a prayer_n be_v not_o only_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n when_o they_o be_v new_o dyte_v unto_o man_n but_o they_o remain_v still_o his_o work_n whether_o they_o be_v write_v or_o keep_v

add_v these_o to_o the_o chap._n 3._o viz._n quest_n see_v the_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n in_o scripture_n be_v but_o short_a tail_v prayer_n as_o some_o affirm_v can_v they_o be_v fit_a for_o our_o
