we_o demand_v that_o he_o deliver_v we_o from_o all_o evil_n both_o past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v and_o so_o absolute_o from_o all_o evil_n whatsoever_o 3._o declare_v those_o first_o word_n which_o go_v before_o the_o first_o petition_n our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n this_o be_v a_o little_a preface_n which_o teach_v we_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o be_v to_o pronounce_v it_o with_o a_o sincere_a confidence_n and_o affection_n such_o as_o true_a child_n do_v bear_v towards_o their_o father_n second_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o say_v it_o with_o a_o general_a intention_n and_o charity_n towards_o all_o our_o brothren_n unite_v in_o one_o body_n of_o the_o church_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v my_o father_n but_o our_o father_n three_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o he_o as_o to_o our_o heavenly_a father_n and_o so_o to_o seek_v nothing_o but_o heavenly_a thing_n or_o what_o conduce_v thereunto_o 4._o to_o who_o be_v this_o prayer_n address_v it_o be_v address_v particular_o to_o the_o first_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o it_o be_v compose_v by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o second_o person_n himself_o the_o only_a son_n of_o his_o father_n and_o our_o mediator_n towards_o his_o father_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o it_o be_v address_v also_o to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o all_o three_o be_v but_o one_o god_n 5._o why_o be_v god_n and_o particular_o the_o first_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n call_v our_o father_n because_o he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o do_v nourish_v and_o conserve_v we_o but_o chief_o because_o he_o do_v love_n and_o embrace_v we_o with_o a_o fatherly_a love_n whereby_o we_o be_v true_o his_o adopt_a child_n for_o no_o body_n will_v give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o ransom_n other_o if_o he_o do_v not_o esteem_v those_o other_o also_o as_o if_o they_o be_v his_o own_o child_n 6._o why_o be_v he_o say_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n although_o he_o be_v every_o where_o yet_o he_o be_v say_v particular_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o he_o be_v see_v there_o perfect_o by_o the_o bless_a and_o so_o our_o hope_n be_v at_o last_o accomplish_v there_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o we_o may_v say_v that_o a_o man_n soul_n be_v seat_v in_o his_o head_n though_o it_o be_v also_o in_o his_o whole_a body_n because_o all_o his_o five_o sense_n be_v find_v there_o for_o by_o his_o head_n he_o see_v he_o hear_v he_o smell_v he_o taste_v and_o also_o touch_v 7._o declare_v the_o first_o petition_n hallow_v be_v thy_o name_n in_o the_o first_o petition_n we_o demand_v that_o god_n be_v know_v of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o that_o so_o his_o holy_a name_n be_v honour_v and_o glorify_v by_o all_o as_o it_o become_v he_o who_o be_v infinite_o holy_a in_o himself_o and_o who_o be_v our_o creator_n our_o last_o end_n and_o our_o sovereign_a good_a 8._o why_o do_v we_o say_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n and_o not_o hallow_a be_v thou_o because_o every_o thing_n be_v know_v by_o its_o name_n and_o by_o this_o petition_n we_o demand_v that_o god_n be_v know_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o idolatry_n and_o false_a religion_n destroy_v and_o so_o it_o be_v worthy_o place_v in_o the_o first_o place_n both_o because_o all_o the_o evil_n in_o the_o world_n proceed_v from_o not_o know_v god_n and_o also_o because_o no_o body_n can_v pray_v to_o he_o unless_o they_o first_o know_v he_o and_o therefore_o this_o knowledge_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v demand_v for_o those_o who_o want_v it_o and_o last_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o first_o thing_n which_o a_o christian_a ought_v to_o seek_v be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o although_o our_o own_o interest_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o seek_v god_n his_o glory_n without_o save_v ourselves_o or_o save_v ourselves_o without_o glorify_v god_n yet_o these_o two_o end_n ought_v to_o be_v one_o subordinate_a to_o the_o other_o and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o our_o own_o proper_a interest_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n also_o we_o say_v in_o the_o two_o follow_a petition_n thy_o kingdom_n come_v and_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v to_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v our_o own_o good_a chief_o with_o relation_n to_o his_o glory_n 9_o declare_v the_o second_o thy_o kingdom_n come_v we_o demand_v in_o the_o second_o that_o the_o kingdom_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o come_v speedy_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o batail_n be_v end_v which_o we_o have_v with_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n we_o may_v arrive_v to_o everlasting_a felicity_n where_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v god_n without_o impediment_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v in_o and_o over_o we_o for_o all_o eternity_n 10._o why_o be_v our_o final_a happiness_n in_o heaven_n call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n or_o how_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v to_o come_v that_o belong_v to_o god_n because_o when_o those_o place_n which_o the_o elect_n be_v choose_v to_o shall_v all_o be_v fill_v up_o than_o all_o motion_n and_o alteration_n shall_v cease_v and_o almighty_a god_n shall_v reign_v by_o a_o constant_a emanation_n or_o conservation_n of_o the_o same_o unuariable_a be_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o kind_n of_o reign_n be_v most_o proper_a and_o suitable_a to_o god_n his_o immutability_n and_o we_o do_v wish_v that_o it_o may_v come_v because_o this_o kingdom_n be_v now_o as_o it_o be_v a_o make_n as_o that_o king_n who_o be_v go_v upon_o a_o conquest_n either_o of_o rebel_n or_o of_o other_o enemy_n be_v make_v himself_o a_o kingdom_n 11._o declare_v the_o three_o thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n we_o demand_v in_o the_o three_o that_o we_o may_v perfect_o obey_v his_o holy_a commandment_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v allwayse_n obey_v he_o in_o heaven_n because_o it_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o former_a petition_n for_o the_o ladder_n to_o mount_v up_o to_o heaven_n be_v the_o obedience_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v the_o height_n of_o all_o happiness_n upon_o earth_n 12._o why_o do_v we_o say_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n and_o not_o rather_o do_v thou_o thy_o will_n in_o earth_n because_o the_o observe_n of_o god_n commandment_n and_o live_v virtuous_o depend_v joint_o both_o on_o ourselves_o by_o our_o free_a will_n and_o also_o on_o god_n by_o give_v we_o his_o grace_n and_o so_o we_o neither_o say_v do_v thy_o will_n in_o earth_n that_o be_v in_o we_o nor_o let_v we_o do_v thy_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n to_o show_v that_o nether_a god_n alone_o do_v do_v his_o will_n in_o we_o nor_o man_n alone_o in_o himself_o but_o that_o both_o do_v concur_v to_o it_o god_n by_o prevent_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o man_n by_o consent_v with_o his_o free_a will_n and_o we_o do_v wish_v that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o in_o heaven_n that_o be_v with_o all_o perfection_n and_o by_o a_o full_a subietion_n without_o resistance_n 13._o declare_v the_o four_o give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n we_o demand_v in_o the_o four_o our_o daily_a bread_n and_o chief_o our_o spiritual_a bread_n that_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a inspiration_n which_o we_o have_v need_n of_o every_o day_n and_o moment_n and_o secondary_o our_o corporal_a sustenance_n and_o apparel_n 14._o do_v he_o permit_v we_o then_o to_o ask_v for_o temporal_a thing_n yes_o but_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o condescend_v to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o therefore_o our_o prayer_n for_o they_o ought_v allwayse_v to_o be_v conditional_a that_o be_v if_o god_n do_v see_v they_o to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o because_o we_o ourselves_o do_v often_o mistake_v in_o our_o desire_n of_o temporal_a thing_n and_o seldom_o know_v what_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a for_o us._n 15_o be_v he_o content_a that_o we_o shall_v ask_v in_o this_o manner_n all_o sort_n of_o temporal_a commodity_n no_o for_o his_o condescendance_n do_v not_o permit_v we_o to_o ask_v any_o thing_n but_o only_o our_o daily_a bread_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o ask_v superfluous_a thing_n but_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v necessary_a as_o that_o be_v which_o we_o have_v need_n of_o every_o day_n nor_o this_o nether_a but_o after_o that_o we_o have_v first_o demand_v our_o spiritual_a bread_n which_o be_v chief_o understand_v by_o this_o petition_n 16._o why_o do_v we_o call_v this_o bread_n which_o we_o ask_v for_o
acknowledge_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o divine_a grace_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o misery_n from_o whence_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o perpetual_a joy_n and_o acknowledgement_n towards_o god_n for_o that_o we_o be_v bear_v since_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n 8._o how_o do_v god_n allmightie_a redeem_v the_o world_n by_o the_o incarnation_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n jesus_n christ_n lesson_n ix_o of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o incarnation_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a mystery_n whereby_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v unite_v to_o our_o nature_n after_o that_o it_o be_v become_v mortal_a and_o subject_a to_o misery_n by_o sin_n 2._o which_o be_v that_o person_n the_o second_o that_o be_v the_o son_n 3._o why_o the_o son_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o he_o come_v to_o make_v we_o son_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_v that_o among_o three_o person_n the_o son_n shall_v be_v choose_v to_o be_v our_o pattern_n and_o example_n and_o as_o it_o be_v our_o elder_a brother_n beside_o wisdom_n be_v appropiate_v to_o the_o son_n wherefore_o he_o come_v also_o to_o be_v our_o master_n and_o teacher_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o son_n and_o second_o person_n shall_v be_v choose_v for_o that_o effect_n 4._o have_v the_o other_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n no_o hand_n in_o this_o mystery_n yes_o for_o the_o second_o person_n be_v incarnate_v by_o their_o will_n and_o by_o their_o operation_n although_o he_o only_o be_v invest_v with_o our_o flesh_n and_o with_o our_o nature_n remain_v man_n as_o we_o be_v 5._o why_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o our_o redeemer_n shall_v be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v god_n that_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n may_v be_v of_o infinite_a value_n as_o proceed_v from_o such_o a_o person_n it_o be_v necessary_a he_o shall_v be_v man_n because_o the_o godhead_n can_v not_o suffer_v beside_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o have_v offend_v shall_v suffer_v for_o the_o offence_n and_o that_o the_o same_o nature_n shall_v overcome_v the_o devil_n which_o have_v be_v overcome_v by_o he_o and_o also_o that_o he_o who_o come_v to_o teach_v we_o how_o to_o live_v virtuous_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o nature_n and_o be_v compose_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o we_o be_v that_o so_o we_o may_v have_v a_o visible_a pattern_n and_o one_o who_o we_o may_v imitate_v 6._o be_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n like_v to_o other_o man_n yes_o except_v only_a sin_n concupiscence_n and_o ignorance_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o be_v make_v to_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o sin_n whereby_o he_o do_v not_o only_o
