disciple_n nor_o shall_v a_o parent_n give_v his_o child_n any_o form_n of_o prayer_n whereafter_o to_o pray_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v so_o do_v we_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v he_o have_v not_o by_o so_o do_v teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v we_o mean_v by_o give_v the_o child_n a_o form_n whereafter_o to_o pray_v we_o will_v hear_v as_o hitherto_o we_o have_v do_v what_o we_o have_v hear_v say_v for_o the_o hold_v forth_o the_o affirmative_a and_o first_o this_o be_v force_v against_o we_o without_o any_o show_n of_o reason_n as_o we_o conceive_v that_o we_o allow_v not_o a_o parent_n to_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v true_o we_o will_v not_o say_v it_o for_o a_o world_n for_o we_o know_v it_o be_v a_o parent_n duty_n to_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v and_o to_o make_v it_o their_o very_a work_n and_o their_o business_n that_o their_o child_n may_v be_v still_o learn_v at_o that_o high_a work_n second_o but_o this_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o give_v they_o a_o form_n of_o word_n wherebyto_o pray_v we_o think_v yes_o it_o may_v by_o god_n blessing_n upon_o the_o parent_n faithful_a and_o constant_a endeavour_n this_o way_n and_o that_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n prescribe_v will_v rather_o hinder_v than_o further_a the_o work_n as_o be_v say_v before_o three_o but_o you_o in_o so_o say_v do_v cross_n i_o very_o believe_v the_o practice_n of_o most_o the_o godly_a all_o over_o the_o world_n it_o be_v but_o your_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v quick_o say_v and_o impossible_a to_o be_v prove_v that_o most_o of_o the_o godly_a give_v their_o child_n form_n of_o prayer_n to_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v though_o you_o do_v so_o you_o will_v not_o conclude_v that_o other_o so_o do_v you_o may_v be_v as_o be_v say_v norma_fw-la publica_fw-la as_o a_o pattern_n or_o standard_n to_o your_o own_o people_n and_o child_n not_o so_o to_o other_o four_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a pattern_n for_o it_o john_n baptist_n himself_o we_o have_v rather_o you_o have_v say_v we_o have_v a_o sure_a word_n for_o it_o from_o the_o lord_n god_n himself_o yet_o we_o refuse_v not_o this_o pattern_n as_o far_o from_o despise_v what_o john_n the_o baptist_n do_v as_o we_o be_v from_o reject_v what_o john_n the_o baptist_n say_v and_o this_o you_o say_v john_n do_v he_o 1._o luke_n 11._o 1._o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v we_o yield_v it_o and_o that_o every_o godly_a parent_n be_v to_o make_v he_o his_o pattern_n in_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v five_o the●_n he_o must_v give_v his_o child_n a_o form_n of_o prayer_n not_o possible_a else_o to_o teach_v he_o to_o pray_v beside_o so_o teach_v john_n his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v as_o worthy_a hold_v say_v by_o give_v they_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v we_o move_v heavy_o here_o because_o against_o the_o stream_n even_o of_o the_o learned_a in_o this_o very_a matter_n john_n teach_n his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v yet_o if_o we_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o the_o tide_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o we_o we_o shall_v hold-on_a our_o course_n and_o attain_v our_o end_n anon_o to_o this_o we_o say_v then_o that_o it_o be_v very_o possible_a to_o teach_v a_o child_n to_o pray_v without_o give_v they_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v and_o so_o we_o be_v persuade_v john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v we_o will_v be_v right_o understand_v here_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o according_a to_o the_o possibility_n our_o heavenly_a father_n for_o his_o only_a son_n sake_n have_v make_v possible_a unto_o man_n it_o be_v not_o clear_a to_o we_o nor_o do_v we_o think_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v it_o clear_a to_o himself_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v by_o give_v they_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v he_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v that_o be_v out_o of_o all_o question_n for_o so_o we_o read_v and_o so_o he_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o full-up_a to_o his_o charge_n but_o that_o he_o give_v they_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v this_o be_v of_o man_n add_v and_o upon_o a_o ungrounded_a supposition_n as_o we_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o john_n but_o by_o those_o form_n to_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v we_o conceive_v yes_o and_o that_o john_n in_o those_o day_n and_o that_o a_o godly_a parent_n in_o these_o our_o day_n can_v skill_v better_a to_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v without_o form_n of_o prayer_n than_o with_o they_o sure_o john_n do_v teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o who_o they_o be_v to_o address_v themselves_o in_o prayer_n after_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o first_o what_o a_o solemn_a and_o sacred_a work_n it_o be_v and_o then_o acquaint_v they_o with_o the_o

much_o upon_o any_o excellency_n in_o ourselves_o sure_o john_n beat_v they_o off_o from_o their_o own_o righteousness_n the_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o their_o flesh_n he_o club_a down_o that_o

they_o much_o special_o with_o his_o disciple_n in_o this_o what_o blind_a poor_a naked_a empty_a one_o they_o must_v be_v in_o their_o own_o sense_n and_o feeling_n before_o it_o can_v ever_o enter_v into_o their_o thought_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o anoint_v with_o eyesalve_n that_o they_o may_v see_v a_o far-off_a or_o before_o they_o will_v look_v after_o faith_n which_o pitch_v the_o soul_n upon_o christ_n and_o then_o fetch_v in_o all_o that_o make_v true_o rich_a and_o put_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o glorious_a clothing_n of_o the_o saint_n empti_v the_o soul_n and_o then_o fill_v it_o with_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o conceive_v and_o by_o no_o other_o mean_n do_v john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v we_o can_v reach_v to_o his_o word_n and_o may_v seem_v too_o bold_a in_o make_v offer_n that_o way_n but_o thus_o we_o conceive_v and_o we_o say_v it_o again_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v and_o not_o by_o prescribe_v they_o certain_a form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v when_o they_o come_v before_o their_o god_n and_o this_o we_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n a_o godly_a parent_n take_v now_o to_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v to_o his_o god_n what_o way_n must_v he_o take_v this_o he_o may_v know_v better_o than_o we_o but_o he_o must_v teach_v the_o child_n to_o know_v god_n first_o or_o if_o to_o pray_v first_o then_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o may_v know_v he_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o obey_v he_o and_o this_o the_o parent_n can_v well_o teach_v the_o child_n till_o he_o have_v teach_v the_o poor_a simple_a creature_n to_o know_v itself_o first_o in_o some_o measure_n and_o what_o need_v he_o have_v of_o a_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o so_o the_o parent_n drop_n into_o the_o child_n as_o he_o can_v a_o little_a vessel_n and_o a_o less_o mouth_n to_o receive_v in_o and_o how_o much_o fall_v by_o and_o how_o little_a be_v in_o when_o it_o be_v there_o in_o such_o matter_n as_o these_o be_v but_o this_o we_o be_v say_v the_o godly_a parent_n endeavour_v to_o do_v now_o a_o little_a and_o then_o a_o little_a a_o little_a more_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o what_o he_o be_v

to_o pray_v though_o a_o great_a abomination_n it_o be_v to_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n we_o have_v shut_v it_o out_o of_o the_o closet_n it_o be_v too_o short_a for_o closet-worke_n and_o too_o long_o for_o a_o after_o prayer_n be_v who_o know_v how_o full_a of_o heavenly_a sense_n and_o spiritual_a meaning_n therefore_o we_o have_v cut_v it_o off_o from_o the_o minister_n prayer_n in_o the_o pulpit_n if_o he_o will_v set_v it_o too_o again_o be_v it_o at_o his_o pleasure_n it_o may_v be_v to_o his_o peril_n we_o have_v question_v it_o very_o much_o and_o endeavour_v to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o question_n that_o john_n do_v not_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v by_o give_v they_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v we_o have_v clear_v it_o to_o be_v a_o parent_n duty_n to_o teach_v his_o child_n to_o pray_v and_o as_o we_o can_v we_o have_v direct_v his_o practice_n and_o conclude_v that_o a_o parent_n teach_v not_o his_o child_n to_o pray_v that_o give_v he_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v for_o that_o they_o learn_v without_o teach_v too_o prompt_a and_o ready_a that_o way_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n teach_v parent_n and_o child_n to_o pray_v and_o the_o first_o thing_n the_o spirit_n teach_v we_o think_v be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o can_v pray_v yet_o we_o shall_v tempt_v god_n if_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v not_o pray_v and_o teach_v our_o child_n so_o to_o do_v to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o pray_v to_o shut_v up_o the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o father_n of_o mercy_n in_o and_o through_o his_o son_n give_v forth_o
