how_o he_o ought_v to_o demean_v himself_o in_o that_o great_a and_o weighty_a charge_n and_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o give_v direction_n concern_v public_a prayer_n in_o the_o

under_o they_o christian_n may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n and_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v very_o suitable_a to_o the_o christian_a religion_n by_o which_o god_n design_v the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o that_o we_o shall_v offer_v up_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o he_o in_o behalf_n of_o all_o man_n for_o this_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o universal_a charity_n of_o christian_n in_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o to_o who_o we_o put_v up_o our_o prayer_n god_n the_o father_n who_o send_v his_o son_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n and_o to_o he_o likewise_o by_o who_o we_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o be_v among_o we_o christian_n the_o only_a mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n in_o virtue_n of_o that_o price_n and_o ransom_n which_o he_o pay_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o all_o mankind_n i_o say_v for_o this_o reason_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o all_o man_n because_o he_o die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o now_o that_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n intercede_v with_o he_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o those_o for_o who_o he_o die_v there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o which_o word_n though_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o to_o prove_v more_o immediate_o that_o it_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n our_o saviour_n that_o we_o shall_v put_v up_o prayer_n to_o he_o for_o all_o man_n because_o he_o desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n and_o have_v send_v his_o son_n to_o purchase_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o in_o virtue_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v the_o only_a mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o i_o say_v though_o this_o be_v the_o immediate_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o these_o word_n yet_o they_o be_v likewise_o a_o direction_n to_o we_o unto_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o address_v our_o prayer_n namely_o to_o god_n and_o by_o who_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n we_o ought_v to_o put_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o father_n namely_o by_o

he_o be_v life_n eternal_a to_o know_v thou_o the_o only_a true_a god_n the_o unity_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v a_o notion_n wherein_o the_o great_a and_o the_o wise_a part_n of_o mankind_n do_v always_o agree_v and_o therefore_o may_v reasonable_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v either_o natural_a or_o to_o have_v spring_v from_o some_o original_a tradition_n deliver_v down_o to_o we_o from_o the_o first_o parent_n of_o mankind_n i_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v one_o supreme_a be_v the_o author_n and_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n who_o the_o most_o ancient_a of_o the_o heathen_a poet_n common_o call_v the_o father_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o thus_o aristotle_n in_o his_o metaphysic_n define_v god_n the_o eternal_a and_o most_o excellent_a or_o best_a of_o all_o live_a being_n and_o this_o notion_n of_o one_o supreme_a be_v agree_v very_o well_o with_o that_o exact_a harmony_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o frame_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n conspire_v to_o one_o end_v and_o continue_v in_o one_o uniform_a order_n and_o course_n which_o can_v reasonable_o be_v ascribe_v to_o any_o other_o but_o a_o constant_a and_o uniform_a cause_n and_o which_o to_o a_o consider_v man_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o govern_v by_o that_o one_o powerful_a principle_n and_o great_a and_o wise_a mind_n which_o we_o call_v god_n but_o although_o the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n have_v a_o notion_n of_o one_o supreme_a god_n yet_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o heathen_a plain_o show_v that_o this_o notion_n in_o process_n of_o time_n be_v great_o degenerate_v and_o corrupt_v into_o a_o apprehension_n of_o a_o plurality_n of_o god_n though_o in_o reason_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o god_n than_o one_o and_o that_o one_o who_o be_v of_o infinite_a perfection_n be_v as_o sufficient_a to_o all_o purpose_n whatsoever_o as_o ten_o thousand_o deity_n if_o they_o be_v possible_a can_v possible_o be_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n now_o this_o multitude_n of_o deity_n which_o the_o fond_a superstition_n and_o vain_a imagination_n of_o man_n have_v form_v to_o themselves_o be_v by_o the_o wise_a sort_n who_o be_v force_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o folly_n of_o the_o people_n endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v either_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n which_o the_o egyptian_n as_o plutarch_n tell_v we_o think_v to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o god_n but_o then_o the_o more_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n they_o parcel_v out_o into_o several_a deity_n and_o as_o the_o ocean_n have_v several_a name_n according_a to_o the_o several_a coast_n and_o country_n by_o which_o it_o pass_v so_o they_o give_v several_a name_n to_o this_o one_o deity_n according_a to_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o world_n which_o several_a nation_n make_v the_o object_n of_o their_o worship_n or_o else_o they_o adore_v the_o several_a perfection_n and_o power_n of_o the_o one_o supreme_a god_n under_o several_a name_n and_o title_n with_o regard_n to_o the_o various_a blessing_n and_o benefit_n which_o
