the_o trinity_n for_o though_o you_o think_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n yet_o you_o have_v not_o so_o high_a a_o repute_n of_o he_o as_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o the_o son_n address_v himself_o to_o god_n the_o father_n in_o all_o his_o prayer_n and_o acknowledgmenr_n in_o a_o more_o immediate_a manner_n than_o unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v know_v if_o the_o word_n father_n as_o in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n include_v not_o the_o unity_n in_o trinity_n to_o this_o brief_o consider_v three_o thing_n 1._o without_o all_o question_n the_o same_o god_n which_o lie_v under_o that_o relative_a property_n of_o father_n be_v the_o same_o god_n with_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v not_o three_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v not_o exclude_v but_o include_v in_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o father_n as_o god_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n or_o any_o where_o else_o 2._o but_o second_o the_o father_n as_o father_n be_v never_o take_v for_o the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n in_o scripture_n nor_o the_o son_n as_o son_n be_v take_v for_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o holy_a ghost_n be_v at_o any_o time_n take_v for_o the_o son_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o theology_n though_o the_o res_fw-la substrata_fw-la the_o thing_n that_o lie_v under_o the_o relative_n property_n viz._n the_o godhead_n of_o every_o person_n be_v common_a and_o communicate_v yet_o the_o same_o godhead_n consider_v as_o clothe_v with_o his_o relative_n property_n as_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o common_a but_o peculiar_a for_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n as_o fathet_z be_v not_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n as_o son_n etc._n etc._n 3._o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o when_o christ_n address_v himself_o to_o the_o father_n as_o father_n in_o scripture_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o be_v either_o a_o diverse_a or_o great_a god_n than_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o it_o be_v for_o two_o other_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o father_n as_o father_n receive_v primary_o the_o wrong_a that_o sin_n do_v against_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o person_n in_o order_n &_o creation_n the_o first_o transcient_a act_n as_o election_n and_o reprobation_n be_v the_o best_a immanent_n hence_o this_o work_n be_v attribute_v chief_o to_o god_n the_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o orderly_a apprehension_n and_o hence_o man_n sin_v then_o when_o he_o be_v only_o make_v this_o be_v chief_o attribute_v to_o be_v against_o the_o father_n because_o his_o work_n appear_v to_o be_v chief_o there_o and_o not_o against_o the_o son_n for_o his_o work_n chief_o appear_v in_o redemption_n he_o be_v the_o second_o person_n and_o this_o the_o second_o main_n and_o wonderful_a work_n neither_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o his_o work_n chief_o appear_v to_o we_o in_o application_n be_v the_o three_o person_n and_o this_o the_o three_o main_a act_n that_o ever_o god_n will_v do_v or_o show_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n in_o this_o life_n hence_o god_n the_o father_n receive_v to_o our_o apprehension_n the_o wrong_n in_o creation_n by_o sin_n he_o be_v the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o hence_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o his_o prayer_n have_v a_o most_o special_a eye_n to_o he_o and_o not_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o his_o death_n and_o intercession_n and_o strong_a cry_n to_o satisfy_v god_n the_o father_n and_o not_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o three_o person_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v say_v 1_o john_n 2._o 1_o 2._o if_o any_o sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o god_n the_o father_n not_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o be_v to_o our_o apprehension_n the_o person_n wrong_v and_o hence_o we_o be_v after_o sin_n commit_v chief_o to_o eye_n the_o father_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o to_o go_v to_o he_o for_o pardon_n with_o our_o advocate_n with_o we_o because_o to_o who_o offence_n be_v chief_o offer_v from_o he_o chief_o pardon_n and_o reconciliation_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v 2._o therefore_o christ_n address_v himself_o chief_o in_o his_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o father_n because_o he_o be_v the_o original_n and_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o good_a because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o person_n in_o order_n of_o subsist_v and_o therefore_o first_o too_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o convey_v i_o know_v the_o godhead_n be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o good_a but_o consider_v the_o person_n one_o with_o another_o and_o so_o the_o father_n be_v ever_o the_o first_o in_o operation_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o last_o in_o consummation_n for_o all_o good_a come_v from_o the_o father_n james_n 1._o 17._o through_o the_o son_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o hence_o in_o all_o our_o prayer_n we_o be_v to_o look_v for_o all_o good_a from_o the_o father_n for_o his_o son_n sake_n to_o be_v convey_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n
