of_o christ_n as_o before_o his_o ascension_n or_o explicit_o as_o after_o they_o must_v be_v make_v especial_o by_o we_o christian_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o by_o his_o blood_n have_v

for_o this_o duty_n and_o enable_v we_o to_o perform_v it_o so_o as_o that_o it_o may_v be_v effectual_a and_o when_o we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v he_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o

prose_n or_o verse_n if_o make_v in_o public_a or_o in_o company_n must_v be_v in_o a_o language_n and_o in_o term_n more_o easy_o understand_v by_o the_o people_n with_o who_o we_o pray_v that_o

be_v suitable_a unto_o their_o present_a light_n and_o condition_n for_o herein_o he_o give_v no_o direction_n how_o to_o ask_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o name_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v he_o be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v nor_o make_v advocate_n general_a in_o heaven_n nor_o possess_v of_o his_o glorious_a kingdom_n this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v intimate_v in_o that_o petition_n thy_o kingdom_n

in_o the_o entrance_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o 1._o the_o party_n who_o must_v perform_v this_o duty_n 2._o the_o party_n for_o who_o prayer_n must_v be_v make_v 3._o the_o party_n to_o who_o

their_o interest_n in_o god_n upon_o who_o all_o and_o every_o one_o depend_v and_o our_o necessity_n be_v many_o and_o great_a and_o prayer_n be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n whereby_o all_o thing_n we_o need_v may_v be_v obtain_v and_o that_o more_o certain_o because_o we_o have_v a_o promise_n beside_o its_o a_o universal_a command_n and_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v in_o that_o respect_n to_o pray_v and_o by_o prayer_n to_o worship_n and_o glorify_v god_n for_o by_o it_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v the_o supreme_a lord_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n the_o father_n of_o mercy_n will_v free_o to_o give_v we_o what_o we_o need_v and_o that_o we_o be_v miserable_a and_o indigent_a person_n and_o that_o god_n be_v no_o way_n bind_v to_o relieve_v we_o or_o supply_v our_o want_n but_o only_o he_o promise_v to_o hear_v and_o help_v and_o this_o promise_n be_v free_o make_v some_o will_v not_o pray_v some_o can_v some_o can_v pray_v but_o not_o effectual_o yet_o all_o these_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v and_o therefore_o their_o sin_n or_o misery_n must_v be_v very_o great_a 2._o the_o person_n for_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v be_v ourselves_o and_o all_o other_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o benefit_n by_o our_o prayer_n for_o we_o be_v direct_v to_o say_v our_o father_n and_o in_o this_o word_n our_o we_o include_v ourselves_o and_o other_o too_o as_o we_o must_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o so_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o our_o neighbour_n as_o for_o ourselves_o and_o by_o neighbour_n we_o must_v understand_v not_o only_o our_o acquaintance_n and_o friend_n but_o stranger_n and_o enemy_n for_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o which_o despiteful_o use_v we_o so_o christ_n pray_v for_o such_o as_o do_v crucify_v he_o say_v father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v yet_o as_o we_o must_v love_v some_o more_o than_o other_o so_o we_o must_v pray_v more_o especial_o for_o some_o than_o other_o most_o of_o all_o for_o the_o church_n and_o our_o persecute_a brethren_n for_o christian_a charity_n in_o our_o prayer_n do_v enlarge_v itself_o and_o abhor_v partiality_n and_o self-love_n 3._o the_o person_n to_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v be_v god_n and_o god_n be_v our_o father_n in_o heaven_n father_n be_v a_o word_n of_o power_n and_o pity_n father_n in_o heaven_n be_v a_o term_n of_o

power_n of_o our_o god_n this_o father_n love_v we_o and_o give_v his_o son_n for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n and_o call_v we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n great_a love_n never_o be_v manifest_v to_o any_o creature_n and_o great_a love_n to_o any_o creature_n there_o can_v be_v and_o how_o much_o must_v he_o love_v we_o when_o once_o we_o begin_v to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o god_n what_o can_v a_o father_n in_o heaven_n what_o will_v not_o a_o father_n in_o christ_n do_v for_o his_o child_n see_v in_o he_o meet_v in_o one_o power_n and_o pity_n might_n and_o mercy_n greatness_n and_o goodness_n which_o include_v all_o his_o perfection_n thus_o we_o must_v conceive_v of_o god_n to_o who_o we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o who_o we_o direct_v our_o prayer_n 4._o the_o qualification_n of_o prayer_n be_v many_o 1._o one_o be_v faith_n whereby_o we_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v present_a in_o all_o place_n at_o all_o time_n hear_v all_o prayer_n know_v all_o

heaven_n that_o his_o power_n be_v almighty_a and_o his_o dominion_n over_o all_o thing_n be_v supreme_a 2._o in_o respect_n of_o his_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a excellency_n and_o supreme_a dominion_n we_o must_v come_v into_o his_o presence_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o reverence_n adore_v his_o eternal_a majesty_n 3._o as_o he_o be_v holy_a we_o must_v be_v holy_a and_o draw_v near_o with_o pure_a and_o upright_a heart_n 4._o as_o he_o be_v just_a we_o must_v petition_v for_o just_a thing_n 5._o as_o he_o be_v a_o father_n we_o must_v be_v obedient_a child_n 6._o as_o he_o be_v

this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o for_o christ_n have_v former_o send_v they_o and_o consign_v they_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o israel_n but_o now_o he_o enlarge_v their_o patent_n and_o they_o must_v go_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o here_o its_o observable_a that_o when_o he_o send_v they_o first_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o he_o give_v they_o not_o only_a authority_n but_o the_o ability_n of_o apostle_n and_o when_o he_o send_v they_o the_o second_o time_n 20._o 21_o 22._o he_o breathe_v upon_o they_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o command_v they_o to_o stay_v at_o jerusalem_n till_o the_o spirit_n from_o on_o high_a shall_v be_v pour_v upon_o they_o which_o shall_v full_o enable_v they_o for_o the_o discharge_n of_o their_o high_a office_n for_o they_o receive_v &_o be_v endue_v with_o all_o heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o language_n and_o all_o other_o gift_n requisite_a for_o their_o place_n christ_n do_v in_o this_o proceed_v by_o degree_n first_o he_o make_v they_o disciple_n than_o apostle_n than_o messenger_n fit_a to_o be_v send_v unto_o all_o nation_n and_o he_o never_o require_v any_o thing_n at_o their_o hand_n but_o according_a to_o their_o ability_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o humane_a commission_n if_o right_o grant_v do_v not_o make_v the_o person_n to_o be_v commission_v able_a and_o right_o qualify_v but_o find_v they_o such_o and_o though_o man_n may_v choose_v and_o advance_v insufficient_a and_o unworthy_a person_n yet_o christ_n never_o do_v so_o but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a he_o make_v they_o able_a before_o he_o send_v they_o or_o put_v they_o in_o office_n otherwise_o he_o know_v power_n shall_v be_v give_v in_o vain_a for_o though_o they_o shall_v be_v very_o willing_a yet_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v their_o duty_n therefore_o if_o god_n send_v any_o man_n there_o will_v be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o only_a authority_n but_o ability_n too_o let_v no_o man_n therefore_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o minister_n except_o he_o find_v himself_o qualify_v for_o insufficiency_n in_o any_o person_n be_v evidence_n enough_o that_o god_n never_o intend_v he_o for_o his_o service_n in_o this_o kind_n as_o the_o mandate_n presuppose_v ability_n as_o necessary_a give_v authority_n so_o it_o do_v induce_v a_o obligation_n of_o the_o person_n command_v to_o do_v his_o work_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n receive_v a_o command_n for_o to_o perform_v the_o work_n proper_a to_o their_o place_n and_o office_n be_v not_o at_o liberty_n but_o as_o they_o have_v receive_v power_n so_o they_o must_v exercise_v it_o otherwise_o they_o can_v be_v faithful_a to_o their_o trust_n nor_o make_v any_o good_a account_n nor_o expect_v a_o
