universal_a church_n and_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o what_o supplement_n must_v we_o then_o make_v to_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v defective_a certain_o we_o must_v necessary_o come_v to_o general_a term_n which_o comprehend_v implicit_o all_o particularity_n as_o after_o we_o have_v specify_v such_o and_o such_o sin_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v a_o full_a enumeration_n of_o all_o other_o must_v we_o not_o say_v in_o general_a forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n i_o retort_v then_o the_o argument_n since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o frame_v any_o prayer_n which_o particularize_v all_o thing_n we_o ought_v necessary_o to_o use_v a_o prayer_n which_o in_o its_o generality_n contain_v all_o particular_n objection_n vii_o but_o say_v they_o we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o pronounce_v it_o answer_n 1._o this_o reason_n be_v not_o conclude_v a_o negative_a argument_n concerning_o a_o fact_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o draw_v out_o of_o scripture_n we_o read_v not_o in_o the_o history_n that_o the_o jew_n ever_o celebrate_v the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n one_o of_o the_o great_a point_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n yet_o without_o doubt_n they_o do_v celebrate_v it_o otherwise_o it_o be_v certain_a god_n will_v have_v censure_v they_o for_o a_o omission_n so_o reprovable_a we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n name_v in_o their_o commission_n shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o they_o do_v not_o baptise_v in_o this_o form_n 2._o i_o say_v rather_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v dictate_v to_o they_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o they_o use_v it_o be_v it_o credible_a that_o have_v desire_v to_o have_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v unto_o they_o this_o word_n by_o word_n that_o they_o never_o pronounce_v it_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v endow_v with_o a_o spirit_n which_o guide_v they_o in_o their_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o their_o doctrine_n but_o have_v we_o the_o same_o infallible_a spirit_n which_o dictate_v to_o they_o such_o prayer_n be_v we_o certain_a that_o we_o fail_v nomore_o then_o they_o neither_o in_o the_o matter_n nor_o in_o the_o form_n objection_n viii_o after_o this_o they_o ask_v we_o a_o question_n this_o prayer_n say_v they_o be_v find_v write_v in_o two_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o wit_v s._n matt._n 6._o s._n luke_n 11._o but_o with_o diversity_n of_o term_n and_o which_o be_v more_o the_o one_o of_o these_o evangelist_n omit_v that_o which_o the_o other_o have_v write_v how_o then_o ought_v we_o to_o pronounce_v it_o either_o by_o that_o which_o be_v express_v in_o s._n matthew_n or_o that_o which_o be_v couch_v by_o s_o luke_n all_o this_o show_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o that_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prayer_n shall_v be_v observe_v answer_n 1._o if_o this_o argument_n may_v take_v place_n when_o we_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v never_o pronounce_v the_o word_n which_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v in_o that_o action_n for_o they_o be_v relate_v diverse_o in_o four_o divers_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n which_o register_v they_o have_v not_o these_o word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o must_v we_o then_o in_o this_o action_n whole_o omit_v the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o colour_n of_o the_o diversity_n which_o we_o find_v there_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o so_o understand_v it_o when_o he_o show_v the_o corinthian_n the_o form_n wherein_o they_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n he_o rehearse_v express_o the_o very_a word_n that_o jesus_n christ_n utter_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n according_a as_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o of_o he_o 1_o cor._n 11._o 2._o this_o be_v a_o wrong_a conclusion_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o difference_n which_o we_o find_v there_o on_o the_o contrary_a whereas_o god_n repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o divers_a word_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v they_o for_o this_o difference_n tend_v to_o the_o clear_n of_o one_o word_n by_o another_o so_o when_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n say_v remit_v we_o our_o debt_n the_o other_o expound_v it_o by_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o take_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o expression_n both_o these_o two_o be_v dictate_v by_o jesus_n christ_n must_v we_o make_v the_o difficulty_n so_o great_a in_o choose_v or_o must_v we_o suppress_v both_o these_o two_o because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v both_o these_o two_o 3._o to_o this_o that_o they_o allege_v that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n have_v not_o this_o clause_n for_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v this_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n because_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n to_o wit_n s._n john_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o if_o they_o find_v not_o this_o clause_n in_o s._n luke_n must_v they_o necessary_o pass_v it_o over_o with_o silence_n although_o it_o be_v find_v in_o s._n matthew_n or_o ought_v we_o upon_o this_o occasion_n to_o omit_v all_o this_o prayer_n although_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o both_o these_o evangelist_n we_o have_v divers_a psalm_n which_o contain_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o subject_n as_o the_o 14._o and_o the_o 53._o be_v but_o the_o selfsame_a thing_n notwithstanding_o there_o be_v in_o one_o a_o clause_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o other_o must_v we_o suppress_v they_o both_o objection_n ix._o there_o be_v some_o which_o strive_v against_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n for_o a_o absurdity_n which_o they_o think_v be_v find_v in_o it_o we_o desire_v therein_o our_o daily_a bread_n but_o say_v they_o a_o man_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v as_o he_o which_o be_v in_o a_o agony_n on_o his_o deathbed_n or_o he_o which_o be_v on_o the_o scaffold_n and_o look_n for_o nothing_o but_o the_o fatal_a stroke_n must_v he_o also_o ask_v for_o bread_n be_v it_o to_o any_o purpose_n for_o he_o to_o demand_v a_o thing_n whereof_o he_o have_v no_o more_o need_n and_o which_o be_v no_o more_o of_o any_o use_n for_o he_o answer_n i_o have_v divers_a answer_n to_o give_v thereupon_o 1._o if_o this_o request_n be_v convenient_a but_o for_o they_o which_o be_v assure_v to_o live_v no_o man_n can_v ever_o say_v it_o for_o those_o very_a man_n which_o be_v in_o perfect_a health_n and_o safety_n yet_o nevertheless_o be_v not_o certain_a to_o live_v one_o moment_n so_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o ask_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v never_o to_o demand_v 2._o as_o there_o be_v no_o man_n which_o be_v assure_v to_o live_v a_o day_n so_o there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v whether_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v his_o last_o many_o touch_v the_o gate_n of_o death_n which_o enter_v not_o so_o soon_o in_o although_o then_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v and_o see_v himself_o very_o near_o to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n nevertheless_o since_o that_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o time_n of_o his_o departure_n must_v he_o bold_o renounce_v bread_n and_o god_n liberality_n which_o be_v the_o donor_n thereof_o as_o though_o he_o be_v assure_v he_o shall_v never_o have_v need_n of_o it_o 3._o when_o i_o ask_v my_o bread_n this_o be_v always_o under_o condition_n in_o case_n that_o i_o have_v yet_o any_o need_n thereof_o in_o case_n that_o my_o day_n may_v be_v yet_o prolong_v upon_o earth_n and_o not_o otherwise_o be_v there_o any_o impertinence_n in_o this_o request_n or_o ought_v we_o not_o always_o thus_o to_o speak_v 4._o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o this_o petition_n be_v not_o restrain_v to_o nourishment_n in_o name_v bread_n i_o presuppose_v all_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o my_o life_n the_o very_a air_n and_o breathe_a may_v i_o not_o demand_v they_o for_o the_o time_n which_o i_o have_v to_o live_v though_o indeed_o it_o be_v but_o for_o one_o very_a moment_n to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v glorify_v god_n 5._o grant_v that_o he_o which_o be_v die_v have_v no_o more_o need_n to_o ask_v bread_n have_v he_o no_o need_n to_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n and_o lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n 6._o jesus_n christ_n will_v not_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v ask_v bread_n for_o himself_o alone_o but_o he_o command_v we_o also_o to_o ask_v bread_n for_o other_o in_o say_v give_v we_o if_o then_o a_o man_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o

of_o their_o expression_n why_o make_v we_o not_o so_o great_a a_o estimate_n of_o they_o as_o of_o those_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o canonical_a book_n for_o although_o they_o be_v conceive_v and_o frame_v by_o godly_a and_o understand_a man_n nevertheless_o they_o come_v not_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o same_o quality_n perfection_n and_o authority_n as_o th●se_o which_o be_v write_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o prophet_n whereunto_o also_o we_o dare_v not_o compare_v we_o much_o less_o also_o to_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o object_v that_o by_o this_o reckon_n we_o ought_v never_o to_o say_v any_o other_o prayer_n than_o this_o for_o this_o be_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o paraphrase_n the_o scripture_n because_o our_o paraphrase_n or_o interpretation_n be_v never_o so_o authentic_a as_o the_o scripture_n itself_o we_o may_v paraphrase_n the_o lord_n prayer_n with_o other_o prayer_n but_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o our_o paraphrase_n to_o pronounce_v it_o in_o its_o own_o word_n objection_n xii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o their_o last_o objection_n wherein_o they_o believe_v they_o display_v a_o great_a subtlety_n the_o word_n of_o this_o prayer_n say_v they_o be_v dictate_v to_o be_v the_o pattern_n of_o our_o prayer_n but_o not_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o prayer_n answer_n 1._o this_o be_v but_o a_o sophistry_n and_o a_o vain_a subterfuge_n can_v these_o word_n be_v a_o prayer_n and_o the_o model_n of_o prayer_n can_v a_o building_n serve_v for_o a_o model_n to_o another_o building_n be_v these_o thing_n incompatible_a 2._o note_v that_o jesus_n christ_n say_v not_o ask_v your_o father_n that_o his_o name_n may_v be_v sanctify_v that_o he_o give_v you_o your_o bread_n etc._n etc._n nay_o behold_v how_o he_o speak_v say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n say_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n say_v give_v we_o our_o bread_n say_v forgive_v we_o say_v deliver_v we_o etc._n etc._n be_v not_o these_o the_o term_n and_o the_o form_n of_o a_o prayer_n can_v one_o better_a and_o more_o express_o put_v in_o one_o mouth_n one_o own_o word_n or_o do_v jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o ordain_v we_o to_o say_v they_o mean_v the_o quite_o contrary_a to_o wit_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v they_o 3._o but_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v only_o give_v we_o for_o a_o pattern_n and_o not_o for_o a_o prayer_n these_o man_n confess_v that_o in_o pray_v i_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v this_o pattern_n in_o my_o mind_n if_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v it_o in_o my_o mind_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o have_v it_o in_o my_o mouth_n 4._o if_o they_o will_v not_o pronounce_v it_o as_o a_o prayer_n why_o do_v they_o not_o pronounce_v it_o at_o least_o as_o a_o pattern_n or_o form_n when_o they_o shall_v say_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o say_v to_o thou_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n be_v they_o afraid_a to_o lie_v in_o say_v so_o or_o do_v they_o fear_v that_o this_o truth_n be_v not_o well_o speak_v 5._o i_o say_v it_o be_v need_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v continual_o instruct_v to_o pray_v well_o now_o it_o be_v without_o controversy_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v any_o good_a prayer_n if_o it_o agree_v not_o at_o least_o in_o substance_n with_o this_o form_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v it_o not_o then_o expedient_a that_o the_o people_n hear_v often_o this_o form_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v see_v to_o what_o rule_n they_o ought_v to_o conform_v their_o prayer_n we_o tax_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o that_o she_o pronounce_v not_o to_o the_o people_n the_o second_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n because_o that_o this_o silence_n hinder_v very_o many_o from_o acknowledge_v the_o idolatry_n which_o they_o commit_v will_v not_o the_o suppression_n of_o this_o form_n cause_n the_o people_n especial_o as_o many_o poor_a soul_n who_o neither_o can_v nor_o know_v how_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n to_o forget_v in_o the_o end_n this_o prayer_n and_o know_v no_o more_o the_o rule_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o effect_n these_o man_n do_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o cause_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o to_o be_v lose_v to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n mark_v also_o here_o the_o difference_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o prayer_n which_o be_v of_o our_o own_o make_n and_o the_o lord_n prayer_n there_o may_v be_v say_v as_o much_o as_o between_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o the_o pattern_n which_o god_n make_v moses_n see_v upon_o the_o mountain_n the_o pattern_n be_v celestial_a frame_v immediate_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o tabernacle_n be_v earthly_a and_o make_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v all_o celestial_a and_o divine_a we_o be_v in_o part_n from_o man_n industry_n for_o we_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n in_o perfection_n this_o fabric_n of_o our_o spirit_n be_v always_o human_a and_o imperfect_a but_o the_o pattern_n be_v always_o divine_a and_o perfect_a there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o know_v so_o

not_o without_o error_n in_o this_o business_n we_o be_v herein_o perpetual_o want_v either_o in_o omit_v or_o be_v over-brief_n in_o one_o point_n over-tedious_a in_o another_o or_o in_o raise_v our_o thought_n out_o of_o their_o rank_n but_o in_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o can_v fail_v to_o speak_v well_o that_o i_o omit_v nothing_o that_o i_o speak_v nothing_o superfluous_a that_o i_o be_o not_o extravagant_a that_o there_o be_v no_o rashness_n in_o my_o word_n after_o then_o that_o i_o have_v frame_v a_o prayer_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v

present_v a_o prayer_n of_o my_o own_o fashion_n i_o ought_v to_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v help_v the_o defect_n thereof_o and_o to_o these_o end_n i_o present_a unto_o he_o this_o which_o his_o son_n have_v teach_v i_o be_v this_o proceed_v impertinent_a be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o why_o we_o shall_v reject_v the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n i_o conclude_v then_o we_o ought_v to_o pronounce_v it_o we_o ought_v because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v put_v it_o in_o our_o mouth_n we_o ought_v because_o that_o this_o be_v the_o abridgement_n of_o all_o other_o prayer_n we_o ought_v because_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o star_n which_o ought_v to_o guide_v we_o in_o pray_v to_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o reform_v the_o defect_n which_o be_v in_o all_o our_o other_o prayer_n we_o ought_v because_o that_o it_o be_v universal_a for_o all_o person_n for_o all_o matter_n at_o all_o time_n in_o all_o place_n this_o be_v a_o prayer_n which_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o world_n pronounce_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a consolation_n to_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v keep_v my_o part_n in_o this_o great_a consort_n this_o be_v a_o prayer_n which_o i_o can_v say_v in_o
