in such manner as shall seem good unto God according to that wisedome and power of his whereby he exercises soveraignty of kingdome and command or dominion in all things and in such manner as may make most for the glory of his name Use Of Direction that we use these and the like titles of God in our prayers not for a fashion but from religious resentment and intention that our prayers may be the more powerfull from the greater feeling and abundance of our hearts Doct. 3. All thing●… that uphold our faith and our pr●…ers are from the everlasting and eternal God From these words For ever and ever Or thus rather it makes for the same purpose that we consider that all things that sustain our faith and our prayers are in the eternal God unto eternity or for ever and ever c Reas. 1 Because from hence it appears that now God is the same and such unto us as he was from the beginning of the world to any other that called upon his name Isa 59. 1. ●…1 17. Reas. 2. Because from hence we are confirmed in this that God will unto eternity remain still our God even then when he will cease by changeable dispensations to doe us any more good as here he doth because then we shall be setled in the possession of our last and highest good Use Of Direction for the right use of this divine attribute of eternity Doct. 4. While we pray and especially towards the end of prayer we ought to put forth our petitions with all earnestness of desire and lively strength of faith and of affections From the word Amen Reas. 1. Because as at the end our prayer is as it were come to its perfection so we ought there to exercise the perfection of our faith affection conscience and desire Reas. 2 Because every natural and kindly motion growes stronger and faster towards its end otherwise if it be flashy in the beginning and flag towards the end it is a token it was forced or framed upon some wrong ground and will not prove durable and kindly unto the end Reas. 3 Because our affection in the end of prayer ought then to act from the doubled and recollected force and power of all the affections going before Reas. 4 Because by this meanes in a sort we redouble our whole prayer while first we propose all our petitions one by one in order with their own measure of desire and affection and thereafter press vehemently and earnestly for them all together that they may all be granted us and so according to our earnestnesse ●…est as confident that they will Use Of Reproof against the negligence of men on this behalf which is grown so great that now it is gone out of use amongst us to signify such our affections or strong wishes and desires by saying Amen as the Apostle witnesseth and saith that all Christians of old were taught and did use to practise 1 Cor. 14. 16.

prayer that we may so prepare our selves thereto as all hinderances may be removed and we our selves get a fit disposition of mind and spirit Secondly In prayer we must watch against lukewarmnesse want of reverence wandring thoughts and the like Thirdly After prayers we must be watchfull against forgetfulnesse and slothfulnesse whereby we come short of the fruit of our prayers neither indeed for our carelesnesse ought we to expect any Reas. 1. Because in every moral action the manner of doing is of greatest weight by which it onely is that we not onely do that which is good but do it well Reas 2. Because in prayer after a special manner we are in Gods presence in whose sight how we behave our selves is a matter of no small concernement Reas. 3. Because a corrupt manner of praying sometimes not only blasts the power of our prayers but also makes them to be turned into sin to us Use Of Direction that we may have a care of all such things as make for the right manner of praying such as are Faith Humility Zeal or Fervour and Constancy The forty sixth Lords day Mat. 6. 9 10 11 12 13. Verse 9 After this manner therefore pray ye Our Father which a●…t in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name 10 Thy Kingdome come Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven 11 Give us this day our dayly bread 12 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors 13 And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evill for thine is the kingdome and the power and the glory for ever Amen THis prayer was dictated by Christ and for this reason ought chiefly by all Christians to be had in esteem as coming from him that was the wisdome of God it self which therefore both knew well all our necessities knew also most perfectly what the will of God is towards us And it was dictated that it might be an example or pattern of all Prayers that we ought to use not that we should be bound up to this very frame and form of words however it may also be freely used by us For we read not that this very form of words was used by the Apostles though otherwayes divers Prayers of theirs are mentioned as well in the Acts as in their Epistles This Prayer is made up of certain Petitions whereunto are adjoyned a foregoing Preface and a following Conclusion The Preface is in these words Our Father wh●…ch art in H●…aven And herein is proposed and commended unto us a certain description of God to whom our prayers are alwayes to be directed This description sutably to its occasion that is unto praying layes out unto us those perfections of God which are most needfull to be knowne and considered of us for a devout calling upon his name And because nothing makes more for this than that we be assured of Gods goodnesse and good will towards us whereby he intends good to us and of his power whereby he is able to do all that he pleaseth in Heaven or on earth Therefore ●… The goodnesse of God is declared by that title of Our Father And 2. His greatest power and majesty is designed in these other words Which art in Heaven He is called Father not onely from the benefit of creation and providence whereby as with a Fatherly care he provides for us in all things but chiefly also for the benefit of adoption whereby of his special favour he chuses us to be of the rank and number of his sons And he is said to be in Heaven because in Heaven especially the third Heaven he manifests his ma●…esty as it were in his royal throne amongst the blessed and glorious spirits and from thence he sends out his Word as a royal declaration of his will through all parts of the world for the powerfull effectuating of all and every thing that he wills or pleaseth Doct. 1. Some preparation of minde is necessary for ●…ight making of our prayers This is hence gathered in that a preface is here used and that such a one as directly makes for preparing of our mindes that we may make our prayers the more directly before God Reas. 1. Because so great is the majesty of God that to appear before him and rashly as it were to rush into conference with him and so negligently without any care of our fitnesse and predisposition to it would be such an indignity as it were great incivility and want of wisedome to use towards any worldly Prince or great man Reas 2. Because so great is our weaknesse that unlesse our mindes be strengthened by some religious meditation they will never lift up themselves to God so as becomes them Reas. 3. Because so great is our unworthinesse that hardly can our mindes be raised up to consider and believe how our prayers are heard of God unless we seriously meditate on the favour or grace of God and his promises U●…e Of Direction how we ought to dispose and settle our selves to prayer namely by such a preparation which chiefly doth consist in two things 1. In calling away of our minde and thoughts and cares from all other things not onely unlawfull but otherwise lawfull though worldly during that time and exercise 2 In setting of our mindes and thoughts and affections on heavenly things and that according to that occasion which our prayers in general and in their special and particular natures give us Doct. 2. God alone by religious prayer is to be called upon This is hence gathered because in this most perfect pattern of Christian prayer we are not taught to call upon any in that kinde but whom we may call Our Father which art in heaven Reas. 1. Because prayer is so divine a worship and gives so much glory to the party that it is made to that without idolatry it cannot be offered to any creature whence also in Scripture every where it is called a sacrifice which the very Papists themselves confess cannot be offered but to God alone Reas. 2 Because no creature can sufficiently know our prayers to wit as they come from the heart and not from the mouth onely R. 3. Because no creature can always every where be present to hear prayers where they are made Reas. 4. We cannot religiously call on such as we do not religiously believe in Rom. 10. But we may not religiously believe in a creature I●…r 17. 5. Use. Of Resutation against the perverse superstion of Papists Doct. 3. In all our prayers we ought to come unto God with confidence as unto our Father It is gathered from the word Father Reas. 1. Because prayer in its most inward and essential nature is an action of affiance and trust For we seek nothing from God but out of trust and hope grounded on his promises Reas. 2. Because we ought to strive unto this that we our selves may be accepted of God as his sons that so we may know that our prayers will be accepted of him And
