Again, I answer, though the spirit be limited, at that time, yet he ha•h a liberty, at other ⟨p. 82⟩1times, to pray as freely a• he will in private; and therefore he is not so tied, but, though, at that time, he be, yet it is no general tie; at another time, or immediately after, he may be as free as he will in secret.

Again, I answer, it is not a tie, and a restraint of the spirit, because there is a tie of 1words; for the largeness of the heart stands not so muc• in the multitude and variety of expressions, as in the extent of the affection: now then the heart may be very large, for all that; though he be tied in words, yet there is not a tie upon the affection, that may be extended more, in putting up the same petition, when another mans is more straitened; therefore there i• no tie, and limit upon that. And this is enough to satisfy that, that a set for me of prayer must be used.
