declare_v unto_o you_o the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n the_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o doctrine_n be_v what_o we_o must_v believe_v what_o we_o must_v do_v and_o what_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n the_o doctrine_n of_o good_a life_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o prayer_n john_n teach_v all_o these_o for_o 1_o he_o preach_v christ_n to_o they_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n 2_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o good_a life_n 3_o he_o teach_v they_o also_o to_o pray_v his_o example_n be_v our_o direction_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n you_o also_o have_v two_o lesson_n from_o hence_o 1_o to_o stir_v up_o yourselves_o by_o the_o example_n of_o other_o disciple_n and_o other_o congregation_n to_o do_v the_o like_a if_o you_o hear_v of_o their_o

make_v as_o good_a a_o progression_n in_o knowledge_n and_o piety_n as_o they_o have_v make_v for_o why_o shall_v other_o congregation_n outlearne_v you_o in_o these_o necessary_a duty_n do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o god_n will_v require_v his_o good_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n sow_v in_o you_o and_o examine_v what_o you_o have_v do_v with_o it_o 2_o you_o be_v further_o to_o be_v move_v to_o a_o holy_a emulation_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o yourselves_o to_o contend_v with_o yourselves_o to_o increase_v your_o knowledge_n &_o add_v strength_n and_o growth_n to_o your_o judgement_n that_o

say_v to_o that_o archippus_n as_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v to_o christ_n teach_v we_o as_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n that_o be_v you_o may_v stir_v up_o your_o minister_n to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v you_o as_o other_o faithful_a and_o conscionable_a minister_n of_o the_o word_n do_v instruct_v their_o congregation_n the_o apostle_n bid_v the_o colossian_n say_v to_o

and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n here_o begin_v christ_n answer_n to_o the_o disciple_n motion_n in_o which_o you_o may_v observe_v 1_o that_o he_o

they_o may_v be_v teach_v even_o in_o this_o it_o be_v but_o ask_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o you_o if_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v how_o much_o more_o and_o soon_o will_n christ_n teach_v those_o that_o come_v to_o he_o if_o the_o lamp_n shine_v so_o clear_a to_o his_o scholar_n how_o much_o bright_a will_n the_o shine_v be_v of_o this_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n

to_o the_o world_n end_n christ_n be_v now_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n but_o this_o record_n of_o his_o answer_n to_o direct_v we_o in_o prayer_n live_v in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o eternal_a gospel_n here_o we_o may_v have_v it_o at_o a_o short_a warning_n and_o though_o johns_n prayer_n be_v lose_v and_o no_o monument_n leave_v of_o it_o yet_o this_o holy_a

learn_v to_o pray_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n our_o comfortable_a lesson_n from_o hence_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o labour_v lose_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n with_o our_o petition_n to_o be_v instruct_v as_o he_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n to_o teach_v we_o so_o he_o be_v the_o goodness_n and_o love_n of_o his_o father_n and_o our_o father_n to_o

when_o you_o pray_v wherein_o two_o mistake_n may_v wrong_v the_o good_a meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n 1_o if_o we_o think_v this_o so_o precise_a a_o direction_n for_o prayer_n as_o that_o we_o may_v never_o use_v any_o other_o word_n but_o these_o in_o prayer_n but_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v totidem_fw-la verbis_fw-la for_o that_o that_o be_v not_o our_o saviour_n meaning_n be_v plain_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o prayer_n deliver_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o sermon_n which_o he_o preach_v on_o the_o mount_n where_o he_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v pray_v on_o this_o manner_n or_o to_o this_o purpose_n according_a to_o these_o instruction_n in_o this_o form_n contain_v for_o i_o must_v inform_v you_o that_o the_o precise_a frame_n of_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o word_n thereof_o be_v not_o punctual_o the_o same_o in_o s._n matthew_n and_o s._n luke_n which_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necssitation_n of_o the_o church_n oblige_v it_o to_o the_o word_n thereof_o 2_o another_o mistake_n be_v on_o the_o contrary_a hand_n when_o we_o quite_o forsake_v the_o word_n which_o christ_n himself_o have_v put_v into_o our_o mouth_n and_o esteem_v this_o prayer_n but_o as_o a_o copy_n to_o write_v after_o a_o mould_n to_o make_v prayer_n by_o and_o not_o a_o prayer_n itself_o this_o error_n have_v put_v itself_o in_o print_n and_o some_o of_o our_o novelist_n have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o show_v reason_n why_o this_o shall_v never_o be_v use_v for_o a_o prayer_n his_o late_a majesty_n of_o worthy_a memory_n give_v a_o quick_a touch_n of_o this_o erroneous_a fancy_n in_o his_o learned_a and_o godly_a exposition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o brownist_n the_o author_n of_o this_o opinion_n do_v approve_v this_o prayer_n for_o a_o sampler_n to_o make_v prayer_n by_o but_o refuse_v it_o for_o a_o prayer_n because_o they_o hold_v all_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n unlawful_a his_o majesty_n say_v well_o that_o they_o like_v pray_v by_o descant_n and_o not_o by_o plainesong_n by_o commentary_n but_o not_o by_o text_n 1_o one_o reason_n against_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n be_v because_o it_o be_v scripture_n which_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o justify_v the_o use_n of_o it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o use_n of_o david_n psalm_n and_o the_o holy_a hymn_n of_o scripture_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o occasion_n 28.46_o it_o be_v scripture_n in_o manus_fw-la tuas_fw-la domine_fw-la commendo_fw-la animam_fw-la meam_fw-la yet_o christ_n use_v it_o for_o a_o prayer_n upon_o the_o cross_n 2_o they_o allege_v that_o prayer_n must_v express_v our_o want_n to_o god_n in_o particular_a but_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v general_a our_o answer_n be_v that_o both_o in_o general_a and_o in_o particular_a we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o our_o large_a prayer_n do_v refer_v themselves_o to_o the_o general_a head_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o this_o conclude_v they_o all_o and_o this_o prayer_n be_v
although_o they_o go_v too_o far_o in_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o force_n of_o imitation_n we_o may_v true_o charge_v a_o great_a deal_n even_o the_o most_o of_o our_o evil_n upon_o it_o it_o give_v

sufficient_a to_o prove_v to_o they_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o duty_n 1_o i_o can_v conceive_v of_o these_o disciple_n that_o they_o be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o this_o duty_n before_o because_o i_o know_v that_o prayer_n which_o be_v the_o invocation_n of_o power_n able_a to_o help_v we_o as_o we_o believe_v be_v a_o suggestion_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o no_o man_n be_v simpliciter_fw-la
