a_o most_o unworthy_a and_o unsavoury_a speech_n certain_o christ_n think_v it_o not_o too_o big_a for_o his_o disciple_n who_o capacity_n at_o that_o time_n be_v possible_o none_o of_o the_o large_a

to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n be_v wont_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o prayer_n to_o affect_v and_o over-awe_n their_o heart_n with_o the_o humble_a mention_n of_o god_n glorious_a attribute_n

and_o centre_n of_o it_o it_o be_v encompass_v round_o about_o with_o petition_n for_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o this_o may_v intimate_v to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v only_o to_o

we_o consider_v the_o preface_n in_o these_o word_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o here_o god_n be_v describe_v by_o two_o of_o his_o most_o eminent_a attribute_n his_o grace_n and_o

these_o be_v most_o sweet_o temper_v together_o to_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o holy_a mixture_n of_o filial_a boldness_n and_o awful_a reverence_n which_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o all_o our_o address_n to_o he_o we_o be_v command_v to_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n with_o boldness_n heb._n 4.16_o and_o yet_o to_o serve_v god_n acceptable_o with_o

and_o therefore_o require_v awe_n and_o reverence_n but_o it_o be_v a_o throne_n of_o grace_n too_o and_o therefore_o permit_v holy_a freedom_n and_o confidence_n and_o so_o we_o find_v all_o along_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n how_o they_o mix_v the_o consideration_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o his_o majesty_n together_o in_o the_o very_a preface_n and_o preparation_n to_o their_o prayer_n so_o neh._n 1.5_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n the_o great_a and_o terrible_a god_n that_o keep_v covenant_n and_o mercy_n for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o so_o dan._n 9.4_o o_o lord_n the_o
