qualification_n now_o be_v reducible_a unto_o three_o head_n the_o first_o concern_v the_o object_n of_o our_o invocation_n who_o we_o be_v to_o call_v upon_o that_o must_v be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n only_o second_o as_o to_o the_o person_n pray_v he_o must_v be_v righteous_a at_o least_o in_o the_o evangelical_n sense_n that_o be_v a_o true_a penitent_n three_o as_o to_o the_o prayer_n or_o invocation_n itself_o that_o must_v be_v with_o humility_n and_o reverence_n with_o faith_n with_o sincerity_n with_o forvency_n with_o charity_n with_o perseverance_n with_o a_o due_a submission_n to_o the_o divine_a will_n tender_v up_o to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o attend_v with_o endeavour_n agreeable_a to_o our_o prayer_n i_o shall_v little_o more_o than_o touch_v upon_o the_o particular_n they_o be_v so_o many_o and_o i_o will_v not_o prevent_v myself_o in_o what_o else_o remain_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v plain_o necessary_a that_o i_o say_v somewhat_o of_o they_o because_o without_o attendance_n unto_o these_o thing_n our_o prayer_n will_v certain_o prove_v ineffectual_a and_o vain_a oblation_n and_o as_o good_a you_o know_v not_o at_o all_o as_o to_o no_o purpose_n first_o then_o the_o object_n of_o our_o invocation_n must_v be_v the_o lord_n jehovah_n the_o true_a and_o living_n god_n and_o none_o beside_o he_o i_o will_v call_v on_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v a_o piece_n of_o divine_a worship_n peculiar_a unto_o god_n and_o which_o we_o can_v without_o peril_n of_o idolatry_n give_v unto_o any_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o argument_n use_v by_o the_o ancient_a father_n as_o well_o as_o modern_a divine_n to_o prove_v the_o deity_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n because_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n so_o we_o read_v of_o st._n stephen_n 5.59_o act._n 5.59_o they_o stone_v stephen_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o soul_n say_v lord_n jesus_n he_o call_v upon_o god_n that_o be_v own_v his_o deity_n and_o this_o be_v the_o paraphrase_n whereby_o christian_n be_v at_o first_o know_v they_o that_o call_v on_o this_o name_n 1.2_o act._n 9_o 14-21_a
