you_o upon_o this_o a._n even_o so_o god_n be_v call_v the_o father_n even_o of_o the_o reprobate_n because_o he_o first_o create_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n

of_o god_n q._n the_o natural_a father_n defend_v his_o child_n from_o injury_n and_o wrong_n a._n so_o do_v god_n and_o will_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o 18._o shall_v not_o god_n avenge_v his_o

father_n chastise_v his_o child_n who_o he_o love_v and_o if_o he_o have_v cast_v any_o out_o of_o his_o favour_n he_o let_v he_o alone_o to_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v a._n so_o do_v god_n correct_v his_o child_n who_o he_o love_v 12._o and_o therefore_o do_v he_o correct_v they_o because_o he_o love_v they_o 6._o 1._o but_o as_o for_o the_o wicked_a world_n &_o worldling_n he_o let_v they_o

of_o such_o a_o father_n if_o we_o look_v for_o benefit_n at_o his_o hand_n 4._o it_o be_v available_a to_o work_v patience_n in_o we_o in_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n and_o at_o such_o time_n as_o

the_o first_o person_n that_o be_v the_o father_n for_o so_o be_v we_o teach_v to_o pray_v our_o father_n what_o say_v you_o to_o that_o a._n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o this_o word_n father_n be_v speak_v of_o god_n be_v put_v two_o way_n in_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o personal_o sometime_o essential_o q._n what_o do_v you_o mean_v when_o you_o say_v it_o be_v put_v personal_o a._n it_o be_v take_v personal_o when_o it_o be_v put_v but_o for_o some_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n or_o being_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o any_o of_o the_o other_o person_n q._n what_o do_v you_o mean_v when_o you_o say_v it_o be_v put_v essential_o a._n it_o be_v take_v essential_o when_o it_o do_v extend_v to_o the_o whole_a essence_n of_o be_v of_o the_o deity_n q._n if_o you_o can_v make_v your_o meaning_n more_o plain_a a._n then_o more_o plain_o this_o be_v my_o meaning_n that_o wheresoever_o this_o word_n father_n be_v attribute_v unto_o god_n be_v join_v in_o the_o same_o sentence_n with_o the_o son_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o both_o than_o it_o be_v take_v personal_o that_o be_v it_o be_v restrain_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n only_o but_o when_o it_o be_v not_o couple_v nor_o compare_v with_o any_o of_o the_o person_n but_o be_v take_v simple_o without_o relation_n to_o the_o other_o person_n than_o it_o be_v take_v essential_o for_o the_o whole_a godhead_n and_o for_o all_o the_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n q._n where_o be_v it_o take_v personal_o a._n in_o these_o place_n follow_v the_o comforter_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n 26._o he_o shall_v teach_v you_o etc._n etc._n the_o father_n love_v the_o son_n 35._o and_o have_v give_v all_o thing_n into_o his_o hand_n if_o you_o then_o which_o be_v evil_o give_v good_a thing_n unto_o the_o child_n 13._o how_o much_o more_o shall_v your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o they_o that_o desire_v he_o q._n where_o be_v it_o take_v essential_o a._n in_o these_o place_n follow_v the_o fowl_n of_o the_o aâre_n sow_v not_o 26._o etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o your_o heavenly_a father_n feed_v they_o we_o have_v have_v the_o father_n of_o our_o body_n which_o correct_v we_o 9_o and_o we_o give_v they_o reverence_n shall_v we_o not_o much_o rather_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v live_v q._n how_o be_v it_o take_v in_o this_o prayer_n a._n in_o these_o word_n our_o father_n which_o be_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v take_v essential_o for_o the_o whole_a deity_n and_o do_v not_o exclude_v but_o include_v the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o nature_n and_o substance_n with_o the_o father_n q._n if_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o nature_n and_o substance_n than_o the_o second_o person_n jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v father_n too_o be_v he_o not_o a._n yes_o he_o be_v so_o call_v by_o the_o prophet_n esai_n 6._o to_o we_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v to_o we_o a_o son_n be_v give_v etc._n etc._n and_o they_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n counsellor_n the_o mighty_a god_n the_o everlasting_a father_n etc._n etc._n q._n then_o it_o appear_v that_o we_o may_v also_o pray_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o do_v so_o in_o this_o prayer_n but_o can_v you_o show_v any_o that_o have_v pray_v unto_o they_o by_o name_n a._n yea_o stephen_n call_v on_o god_n and_o say_v 59_o lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n and_o s._n paul_n praâed_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v ãâã_d the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v with_o you_o all_o now_o of_o this_o word_n our_o q._n why_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n teach_v we_o to_o say_v our_o father_n rather_o than_o my_o father_n a._n for_o diverse_a cause_n 1._o to_o teach_v we_o that_o true_a prayer_n be_v tie_v to_o church_n of_o god_n only_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o require_v of_o necessity_n unity_n with_o the_o same_o q._n what_o reason_n can_v you_o give_v for_o this_o a._n my_o reason_n be_v this_o we_o can_v pray_v aright_o except_o god_n be_v our_o father_n in_o christ_n if_o god_n be_v our_o father_n in_o christ_n than_o we_o be_v his_o child_n if_o we_o be_v his_o child_n then_o be_v we_o also_o brethren_n to_o his_o child_n if_o we_o be_v brethren_n to_o they_o
the_o order_n of_o it_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a view_n of_o every_o word_n and_o show_v what_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v from_o the_o same_o a._n for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o petition_n two_o thing_n in_o general_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v of_o 1._o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o ask_v 2._o the_o manner_n how_o we_o must_v ask_v it_o q._n what_o say_v you_o of_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o do_v crave_v in_o this_o petition_n a._n it_o be_v describe_v by_o two_o adjunct_n or_o circumstance_n 1._o of_o the_o quality_n or_o nature_n of_o it_o 2._o of_o the_o quantity_n how_o much_o we_o must_v ask_v q._n of_o what_o nature_n or_o quality_n be_v it_o a._n it_o be_v corporal_a temporal_a and_o earthly_a and_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o daily_a bread_n q._n what_o quantity_n or_o how_o much_o must_v we_o ask_v a._n the_o quantity_n be_v note_v in_o these_o word_n our_o and_o this_o day_n q._n what_o mean_v you_o by_o that_o a._n i_o mean_v that_o we_o must_v ask_v first_o no_o more_o than_o our_o own_o second_o no_o more_o but_o for_o the_o present_a time_n and_o need_n q._n after_o what_o manner_n must_v we_o ask_v it_o a._n concern_v the_o manner_n of_o ask_v i_o observe_v two_o thing_n 1._o we_o must_v ask_v it_o as_o a_o gift_n not_o as_o a_o merit_n or_o a_o thing_n buy_v or_o sell_v or_o borrow_v or_o change_v but_o as_o a_o free_a gift_n 2._o we_o must_v ask_v it_o for_o we_o that_o be_v not_o for_o myself_o alone_o but_o for_o other_o aswell_o as_o myself_o q._n this_o be_v brief_a and_o plain_a but_o yet_o i_o will_v have_v every_o thing_n make_v as_o plain_a as_o may_v be_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o no_o doubt_n may_v remain_v therefore_o now_o show_v first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o bread_n in_o this_o place_n a._n this_o word_n bread_n be_v put_v in_o the_o scripture_n three_o manner_n of_o way_n 1._o figurative_o for_o

this_o petition_n q._n by_o bread_n than_o i_o see_v the_o lord_n jesus_n mean_v all_o necessary_a thing_n for_o this_o life_n but_o why_o be_v they_o set_v down_o under_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n a._n for_o two_o cause_n 1._o because_o bread_n be_v most_o usual_a and_o necessary_a 2._o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v stint_v our_o immoderate_a desire_n and_o be_v content_a with_o a_o little_a q._n what_o if_o the_o lord_n send_v we_o more_o than_o bread_n a._n if_o the_o lord_n give_v more_o we_o must_v be_v thankful_a 8._o and_o use_v it_o well_o and_o if_o he_o give_v we_o but_o bread_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o little_a portion_n we_o must_v be_v content_a q._n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o riches_n a._n whatsoever_o be_v needful_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v include_v in_o this_o word_n bread_n and_o pray_v for_o here_o q._n but_o what_o call_v you_o needful_a a._n this_o needful_a be_v to_o be_v measure_v and_o judge_v of_o according_a to_o man_n several_a calling_n and_o charge_n q._n how_o be_v that_o a._n if_o man_n necessary_n be_v great_a abundance_n then_o great_a abundance_n be_v here_o pray_v for_o but_o if_o we_o go_v from_o necessary_n to_o superfluity_n than_o we_o have_v no_o such_o warrant_n here_o q._n as_o we_o have_v no_o warrant_n for_o it_o so_o you_o can_v she_o wenothing_a against_o it_o can_v you_o a._n yes_o

our_o neighbour_n by_o they_o and_o with_o they_o see_v james_n 4._o 3._o q._n why_o be_v we_o teach_v to_o call_v it_o ãâã_d âread_n a._n to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o shift_v for_o
