A81232	A vindication of the Lords prayer, as a formal prayer, and by Christ's institution to be used by Christians as a prayer: against the antichristian practice and opinion of some men. Wherein, also their private and ungrounded zeal is discovered, who are very strict for the observation of the Lords Day, and make so light of the Lords prayer. By Meric Casaubon, D.D. one of the prebandaries of C.C. Canterb.	Casaubon, Meric, 1599-1671.; Grotius, Hugo, 1583-1645.	1660 (1660)	Wing C817; Thomason E1921_3; ESTC R209969	43,421	134

yet_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o dependence_n and_o st._n peter_n inference_n be_v somewhat_o obscure_a except_o he_o allude_v and_o ground_n upon_o the_o word_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o

which_o be_v in_o heaven_n to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n be_v just_a impartial_a who_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n judge_v according_a to_o every_o man_n work_n which_o as_o i_o say_v be_v equivalent_a to_o that_o quotation_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o former_a ver_fw-la which_o nevertheless_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v or_o suppose_v to_o have_v be_v st._n peter_n meaning_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o those_o word_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n admit_v of_o no_o other_o sense_n or_o that_o st._n peter_n will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o be_v
