be_v the_o kingdom_n the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o hereupon_o we_o ask_v wherefore_o this_o conclusion_n be_v add_v and_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n or_o cause_n of_o it_o put_v down_o in_o the_o answer_n the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v do_v to_o protest_v and_o declare_v that_o all_o that_o we_o have_v pray_v for_o before_o power_n our_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o god_n glory_n goodness_n and_o power_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n his_o justice_n and_o his_o goodness_n and_o last_o upon_o his_o sovereign_a rule_n and_o authority_n and_o now_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o declare_v this_o as_o it_o be_v by_o piece_n meal_n and_o particular_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v better_o understand_v let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o this_o be_v not_o add_v to_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n every_o man_n may_v doubt_v say_v alas_o shall_v i_o be_v hear_v of_o he_o when_o i_o have_v ask_v of_o he_o my_o ordinary_a and_o daily_a bread_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o my_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o will_v guide_v i_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o see_v that_o i_o have_v crave_v more_o high_a and_o excellent_a thing_n of_o he_o to_o wit_n that_o his_o name_n may_v be_v glorify_v that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v increase_v and_o multiply_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o accomplishment_n fulfil_v and_o perfection_n thereof_o these_o thing_n surmount_v and_o exceed_v all_o that_o man_n have_v and_o how_o may_v i_o be_v sure_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v hear_v shall_v we_o doubt_v of_o it_o but_o our_o lord_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o our_o request_n and_o prayer_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o that_o which_o we_o bring_v with_o we_o for_o who_o or_o what_o be_v we_o and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o we_o bring_v with_o us._n and_o though_o that_o we_o be_v the_o best_a dispose_v people_n in_o the_o world_n to_o pray_v yet_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v behold_v we_o continual_o alter_v and_o change_v in_o a_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n man_n two_o good_a similitude_n to_o express_v how_o uneffectual_a prayer_n be_v which_o be_v ground_v upon_o man_n so_o our_o request_n and_o prayer_n shall_v be_v very_o weak_a and_o indeed_o nothing_o else_o but_o smoke_n or_o as_o a_o wind_n that_o vanish_v as_o man_n say_v if_o it_o have_v not_o a_o other_o more_o strong_a and_o assure_a fundation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o we_o be_v send_v back_o as_o it_o be_v to_o god_n glory_n to_o his_o infinite_a power_n to_o his_o might_n and_o to_o his_o everlasting_a rule_n and_o government_n if_o then_o we_o will_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o our_o prayer_n have_v not_o be_v vain_a and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o be_v frustrate_v of_o our_o hope_n but_o that_o we_o have_v obtain_v all_o that_o which_o we_o have_v demand_v let_v we_o come_v hither_o now_o haste_v thou_o pray_v to_o god_n effect_n prayer_n right_o make_v shall_v not_o want_v their_o effect_n even_o thus_o i_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v almighty_a that_o all_o power_n belong_v too_o he_o that_o my_o request_n be_v ground_v thereupon_o shall_v not_o be_v without_o have_v their_o effect_n and_o accomplishment_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v allege_v in_o this_o place_n now_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o learn_v always_o to_o conclude_v and_o shut_v up_o our_o prayer_n with_o thanksgeving_n vain_a prayer_n make_v and_o not_o god_n glory_n only_o respect_v therein_o be_v vain_a wherefore_o when_o we_o have_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n let_v we_o make_v continual_o this_o final_a conclusion_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v for_o without_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o puff_v of_o wind_n neither_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o order_n therein_o or_o mark_v whereon_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o stay_v himself_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o find_v therein_o but_o a_o light_n and_o fly_a affection_n unless_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o always_o to_o show_v we_o this_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v desire_v that_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v and_o that_o such_o praise_n may_v be_v yield_v unto_o he_o thereto_o the_o confession_n and_o feel_n of_o our_o sin_n shall_v not_o hinder_v we_o from_o prayer_n but_o rather_o provoke_v we_o thereto_o even_o as_o he_o deserve_v and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o second_o reason_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v out_o of_o this_o speech_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n belong_v unto_o god_n &_o the_o glory_n for_o evermore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o in_o confess_v always_o our_o poverty_n and_o our_o fault_n we_o leave_v not_o for_o all_o that_o whatsoever_o fall_v out_o too_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o why_o so_o because_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n kingdom_n may_v increase_v that_o his_o power_n may_v be_v know_v that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v that_o his_o glory_n may_v shine_v forth_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o &_o we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o in_o his_o goodness_n in_o his_o righteousness_n and_o in_o his_o mercy_n otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v worse_a than_o bruit_n beast_n or_o like_v unto_o poor_a fearful_a and_o astonish_a people_n that_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o cry_n and_o howl_v and_o yet_o know_v not_o wherefore_o but_o that_o we_o may_v thrust_v forward_o our_o prayer_n continual_o to_o this_o mark_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v and_o praise_v for_o when_o we_o shall_v seek_v the_o advauncement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o may_v have_v rule_n and_o authority_n over_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v yield_v he_o the_o homage_n and_o service_n frame_v how_o and_o when_o our_o prayer_n be_v well_o order_v &_o frame_v that_o he_o deserve_v and_o require_v then_o shall_v our_o prayer_n be_v right_o rule_v and_o order_v now_o we_o will_v fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n acknowledge_v the_o infinite_a fault_n and_o offence_n for_o which_o we_o be_v blame_v worthy_a pray_v he_o also_o to_o make_v this_o doctrine_n so_o effectual_a and_o powerful_a in_o we_o that_o it_o may_v make_v we_o always_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o his_o service_n

he_o have_v wrought_v in_o we_o that_o so_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n in_o more_o great_a boldness_n than_o heretofore_o and_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o we_o
