A81232	A vindication of the Lords prayer, as a formal prayer, and by Christ's institution to be used by Christians as a prayer: against the antichristian practice and opinion of some men. Wherein, also their private and ungrounded zeal is discovered, who are very strict for the observation of the Lords Day, and make so light of the Lords prayer. By Meric Casaubon, D.D. one of the prebandaries of C.C. Canterb.	Casaubon, Meric, 1599-1671.; Grotius, Hugo, 1583-1645.	1660 (1660)	Wing C817; Thomason E1921_3; ESTC R209969	43,421	134

the_o jewish_a sabbath_n be_v applyable_a a_o thing_n not_o easy_o prove_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o sunday_n of_o the_o christian_n so_o he_o shall_v find_v many_o thing_n both_o in_o the_o law_n

say_v against_o the_o pertinency_n of_o those_o allegation_n yet_o in_o other_o thing_n as_o in_o matter_n of_o usury_n contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o most_o of_o the_o old_a

of_o the_o lord_n day_n that_o i_o be_o against_o the_o religious_a yea_o and_o strict_a in_o some_o respect_n observe_v of_o it_o i_o be_o not_o i_o never_o be_v i_o will_v say_v more_o if_o a_o

to_o be_v obey_v in_o such_o a_o case_n isay_n with_o these_o caution_n we_o have_v insert_v i_o hold_v it_o much_o safe_a according_a to_o the_o old_a say_n peccare_fw-la in_o meliorem_fw-la
