which_o be_v use_v in_o the_o primitive_a age_n and_o some_o of_o they_o the_o very_a same_o form_n that_o be_v thorough_o digest_v and_o put_v together_o by_o the_o great_a man_n at_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n great_a for_o their_o learning_n great_a for_o their_o wisdom_n great_a for_o their_o eminent_a zeal_n and_o piety_n and_o love_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o great_a still_o because_o afterward_o they_o suffer_v for_o this_o work_n by_o the_o hand_n and_o fury_n of_o the_o romanist_n and_o some_o of_o they_o settle_v it_o at_o the_o stake_n with_o their_o last_n blood_n in_o

of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o according_o such_o prayer_n be_v after_o much_o deliberation_n pitch_v upon_o as_o be_v most_o profitable_a most_o significant_a and_o most_o move_a and_o it_o be_v observable_a of_o they_o that_o as_o they_o be_v general_o short_a and_o therefore_o easy_a to_o be_v learned_a and_o remember_v so_o they_o be_v very_o full_a too_o and_o so_o comprehensive_a for_o matter_n and_o signification_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o needful_a for_o soul_n or_o body_n but_o what_o there_o be_v petition_n for_o and_o those_o too_o relish_v of_o such_o a_o spirit_n of_o piety_n as_o be_v enough_o to_o affect_v and_o move_v the_o dull_a heart_n if_o our_o mind_n do_v but_o go_v along_o with_o they_o and_o without_o that_o all_o the_o prayer_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o work_v upon_o we_o vii_o in_o all_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v charitable_a when_o our_o saviour_n give_v his_o church_n a_o prayer_n of_o his_o own_o compose_v he_o direct_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n even_o at_o our_o private_a devotion_n when_o thou_o pray_v enter_v into_o thy_o closet_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v shut_v thy_o door_n pray_v to_o thy_o father_n which_o be_v in_o secret_a and_o after_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n forgive_v we_o our_o

other_o all_o the_o good_a we_o can_v and_o because_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o scanty_a and_o weak_a that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o do_v all_o that_o be_v needful_a with_o our_o own_o hand_n therefore_o we_o must_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o he_o from_o who_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n come_v that_o he_o may_v supply_v all_o man_n want_n out_o of_o his_o own_o infinite_a and_o inexhaustible_a treasure_n every_o one_o therefore_o must_v have_v a_o share_n in_o our_o prayer_n because_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v in_o some_o want_n or_o other_o i_o exhort_v therefore_o that_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n say_v st._n paul_n in_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 1._o

because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o ill_a nature_n in_o the_o world_n the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o his_o first_o martyr_n st._n stephen_n do_v both_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n pray_v for_o their_o barbarous_a and_o bloodthirsty_a enemy_n the_o very_o worst_a of_o men._n and_o that_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v as_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o efficacious_a they_o must_v proceed_v from_o sedate_v mind_n from_o heart_n full_a of_o gentleness_n goodness_n and_o compassion_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n especial_o which_o infect_v all_o prayer_n and_o turn_v it_o into_o abomination_n the_o first_o be_v unreasonable_a anger_n when_o man_n passion_n be_v suffer_v either_o to_o start_v without_o just_a and_o sufficient_a cause_n ot_fw-mi to_o rise_v unto_o a_o immoderate_a height_n or_o to_o last_v a_o undue_a time_n such_o heat_n be_v sinful_a and_o consequent_o as_o noisome_a fuel_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o the_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n of_o hell_n therefore_o st._n paul_n require_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n without_o wrath_n 1_o tim._n 2._o 9_o and_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n of_o that_o other_o command_n ephes_n 4._o 26._o let_v not_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n because_o the_o evening_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v a_o constant_a time_n for_o solemn_a devotion_n anger_n at_o best_a be_v a_o weak_a passion_n in_o we_o a_o argument_n of_o great_a infirmity_n in_o our_o nature_n that_o show_v how_o near_o of_o kin_n we_o be_v to_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v therefore_o amid_o all_o resentment_n we_o shall_v govern_v ourselves_o by_o god_n example_n who_o wrath_n move_v with_o a_o very_a slow_a pace_n and_o endure_v but_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n psal_n 30._o 5._o but_o when_o we_o approach_v to_o god_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o keep_v out_o the_o brutal_a part_n from_o mingle_v with_o our_o devotion_n to_o bring_v our_o mind_n to_o a_o right_a christian_a temper_n and_o to_o speak_v unto_o the_o author_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n without_o coal_n in_o our_o bosom_n and_o without_o any_o warmth_n but_o that_o of_o zeal_n and_o charity_n 2._o the_o other_o thing_n which_o corrupt_v all_o prayer_n be_v malice_n when_o that_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o transient_a passion_n settle_v and_o fix_v into_o a_o wicked_a habit_n so_o that_o the_o mind_n become_v implacable_a irreconcilable_a and_o revengeful_a this_o be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n religion_n which_o command_v we_o to_o forgive_v a_o brother_n that_o sin_v even_o till_o seventy_o time_n seven_o math._n 18._o 22._o that_o be_v as_o often_o as_o he_o sin_v and_o repent_v of_o it_o all_o that_o god_n himself_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v prayer_n and_o repentance_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o price_n of_o his_o favour_n sure_o we_o sinful_a wretched_a man_n shall_v think_v it_o enough_o to_o purchase_v each_o other_o charity_n what_o man_n be_v he_o that_o live_v and_o sin_v not_o and_o how_o can_v any_o of_o we_o expect_v mercy_n if_o we_o show_v none_o how_o can_v we_o hope_v with_o our_o cry_n and_o importunity_n to_o move_v the_o bowel_n of_o god_n as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v no_o bowel_n ourselves_o or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n none_o but_o what_o we_o shut_v up_o from_o our_o fellow_n creature_n it_o be_v a_o peremptory_a sentence_n matth._n 6._o 15._o if_o you_o forgive_v not_o man_n their_o trespass_n neither_o will_v your_o father_n forgive_v your_o trespass_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o our_o saviour_n take_v hold_v of_o frequent_a occasion_n to_o inculcate_v the_o necessity_n of_o mutual_a charity_n and_o mercifulness_n as_o one_o great_a characteristical_a note_n of_o a_o christian_a indeed_o and_o that_o we_o may_v continual_o remember_v it_o and_o be_v afraid_a to_o neglect_v it_o he_o insert_v it_o into_o that_o prayer_n which_o we_o be_v to_o use_v as_o daily_o as_o we_o need_v our_o bread_n forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o we_o and_o with_o what_o confidence_n can_v a_o uncompassionate_a and_o uncharitable_a man_n look_v up_o to_o the_o father_n of_o mercy_n with_o that_o or_o any_o other_o prayer_n in_o his_o mouth_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o bring_v a_o curse_n upon_o himself_o instead_o of_o a_o blessing_n what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o ready_a way_n to_o have_v all_o his_o prayer_n fling_v back_o upon_o his_o face_n with_o indignation_n and_o scorn_n since_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n proceed_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n who_o have_v show_v no_o mercy_n jam._n 2._o 13._o viii_o to_o all_o these_o necessary_a qualification_n of_o prayer_n i_o must_v add_v in_o the_o last_o place_n that_o we_o must_v pray_v with_o reverence_n for_o though_o this_o be_v the_o least_o considerable_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v a_o external_a bodily_a gesture_n which_o bear_v no_o proportion_n to_o the_o necessary_a disposition_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o it_o be_v of_o such_o moment_n that_o if_o we_o pray_v not_o in_o a_o humble_a manner_n it_o look_v as_o if_o we_o do_v not_o consider_v or_o know_v what_o a_o weighty_a business_n we_o be_v about_o a_o cover_a head_n a_o heavy_a eye_n a_o stiff_a neck_n
