what_o thing_n we_o have_v need_n of_o before_o we_o ask_v he_o for_o it_o may_v seem_v in_o strictness_n that_o all_o prayer_n yea_o even_o the_o single_a use_n of_o this_o prayer_n be_v take_v

also_o teach_v we_o in_o this_o prayer_n what_o to_o ask._n what_o a_o formality_n than_o may_v all_o prayer_n or_o even_o this_o prayer_n seem_v to_o be_v when_o it_o be_v offer_v to_o he_o who_o can_v neither_o be_v inform_v nor_o change_v not_o inform_v for_o he_o know_v both_o our_o state_n and_o desire_n our_o want_n and_o natural_a crave_n before_o we_o have_v dress_v they_o up_o in_o the_o formality_n of_o prayer_n and_o he_o can_v be_v change_v because_o he_o have_v also_o resolve_v what_o be_v most_o convenient_a to_o our_o state_n with_o relation_n to_o that_o supreme_a end_n his_o own_o glory_n before_o we_o ask_v he_o but_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o great_a treasury_n of_o his_o counsel_n concern_v every_o particular_a person_n and_o their_o case_n and_o concern_v his_o church_n and_o kingdom_n in_o general_n and_o that_o christ_n draw_v these_o into_o prayer_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o great_a rule_n of_o prayer_n we_o may_v then_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o prayer_n of_o our_o lord_n because_o we_o know_v not_o how_o with_o certainty_n to_o draw_v out_o and_o with_o a_o just_a balance_n to_o weigh_v out_o the_o grand_a principle_n and_o measure_n of_o prayer_n and_o desire_n our_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o this_o beam_n in_o this_o prayer_n and_o because_o he_o know_v those_o very_a principle_n of_o prayer_n can_v receive_v their_o true_a and_o full_a answer_n only_o in_o his_o kingdom_n he_o have_v therefore_o make_v his_o kingdom_n the_o loadstar_n of_o it_o thus_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o this_o our_o lord_n prayer_n as_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o still_o it_o may_v be_v say_v why_o any_o prayer_n at_o all_o god_n know_v all_o these_o thing_n before_o and_o have_v resolve_v they_o they_o being_z all_z his_o own_o counsel_n so_o he_o need_v neither_o to_o be_v inform_v nor_o move_v or_o if_o for_o any_o reason_n thing_n ought_v to_o be_v humble_o represent_v to_o god_n what_o need_v any_o other_o prayer_n but_o this_o prayer_n only_o teach_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o thus_o certain_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o have_v put_v that_o mind_n into_o such_o word_n as_o will_v be_v most_o acceptable_a the_o answer_n be_v prayer_n in_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n

of_o knowledge_n their_o prayer_n have_v be_v of_o a_o very_a different_a elevation_n or_o raisedness_n of_o apprehension_n faith_n and_o desire_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o council_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n for_o prayer_n according_a to_o this_o prayer_n there_o be_v three_o expedient_n of_o divine_a grace_n as_o help_n in_o this_o great_a concernment_n 1._o there_o be_v such_o a_o

another_o saint_n in_o glory_n yet_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o straiten_v or_o abate_v but_o even_o to_o excite_v the_o weak_a saint_n and_o to_o encourage_v he_o to_o endeavour_v a_o attainment_n of_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o understanding_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o in_o prayer_n according_a to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n with_o as_o particular_a a_o respect_n as_o may_v be_v to_o this_o prayer_n 2._o because_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o as_o yet_o in_o any_o age_n rise_v but_o very_o little_a to_o the_o
