Heaven In the which we have 1. The substance of the Prayer c. 2. The adjunct Seal of it 1. In the substance of the Prayer we have 1. The Petions 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Reason Unto every one of the Petitions is to be added the Command of so praying As for the Petitions themselves they contain a most absolute and perfect Prayer for if we pray as we ought we cannot Petition for any thing but it 's summarily comprised in these words for whereas Prayer is the interpreter of our hopes and desires with our God We can pray only for these things lawfully which we can hope for and lawfully desire of our Lord. Now in this Prayer which we call the Lords Prayer not only 1. All things are petitioned for which we may lawfully desire and hope But 2. The order also wherein we may desire them So that by this Prayer not only our understanding is informed what we ought to pray for but also our affections are hereby set in their due method and order wherein we ought to put up our Petitions unto God for it is manifest unto every reasonable man that naturally the end is desired before the means conducing to that end we desire Health first then Physick as a means to recover our present health Now God is the Chief Good and the Vltimate and Last End and toward him our desire tends 2. wayes 1. As we will and desire his Glory 2. As we desire to enjoy him and to be partakers of his Glory The former proceeds from that Love wherewith we love God in himself The latter from that Love wherewith we love our selves in God and according to this method we shall find that the Petitions are ordered in this prayer 1. Therefore we pray for God's Glory 1. Hallowed be thy Name This sanctification and hallowing of God's Name we cannot attain unto unless we be partakers of his Kingdom Therefore we pray 2. Thy Kingdom come This Kingdom of God cannot come unto us unless we be fitly disposed for the receiving of it which is done by means 1. Per se and properly disposing and fitting us thereunto or else 2. By accident 1. Properly we are fitted hereunto either 1. Directly and principally by means whereby we directly obtain the end and that is by obeying our God And so we pray 3. Thy will be done in Earth as in Heaven 2. We are indirectly and instrumentally disposed by such means as is helpful to us and furthering us in our obedience and so we pray 4. Give us this day our daily bread This bread whether Spiritual or Corporal is not savingly obtained unless that be removed which directly hinders from the obtaining of bliss and happiness and the principal thing that so hinders is that which directly excludes us from the Kingdom of God which is Sin And therefore we pray 5. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them their trespasses against us And because being conquered by temptation we fall into sin and are disabled from doing the Lords will we pray 6. Lead us not into temptation Into which temptation we fall by the importunate suggestion of the Devil whose name is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Tempter And therefore we are taught to pray 7. Deliver us from the evil One The conclusion in the words following is a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which contains 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a reason why we Petition for these things of our God because 1. He alone hath the right and authority to grant all these Petitions therefore we say Thine is the Kingdom And because he alone hath ability and strength to accomplish our desires we say Thine is the Power And because he is acknowledged the Fountain of all good things the True Light and Father of Lights from whom descends every good and perfect gift we say Thine is the Glory This Reason is exceedingly proper to the Petitions for whereas in every intelligent Agent God Angels and Men of whom we would obtain any good three things are necessarily supposed as Principles whence that good is obtained as Knowledge Will and good affections toward us and Power to effect what we desire as in the Compellation or Invocation when we call him 1. Our Father we imply the two first that he knows our wants and is willing to supply them So 2. In the conclusion we have recourse to him who hath all Power which comprehends Three things 1. Authority to accomplish what we desire 2. Strength to accomplish what we desire 3. Sufficiency of all that good which we can desire All which are contained in the conclusion for because he hath Authority Strength Sufficiency the last word is the means through which we obtain these Petitions for besides that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Amen is 1. As much as to say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Be it so 2. It is the Name also of Christ who is the Amen and Faithful Witness Rev. 3.14 In whom 1. All the Promises of God are fulfilled 2 Cor. 1. And 2. He is the Mediator by whom they are to be obtained Come we then to the Compellation wherein we have these Divine Truths or Axioms 1. God is a Father of the Faithful 2. In Prayer He is so to be called upon Our Father 3. Our Father is in Heaven 4. In Prayer He is so to be called upon Our Father which art in Heaven Obser 1. Who is the Sole Object to be prayed unto Phil. 4.6 Be careful for nothing but in every thing Let your requests be made known to God Whither should the Children have recourse but to their Father Obser 2. Prayers ought to be made for others as well as our selves Eph. 6.18 therefore we say Our Father Obser 3. How needful it is to come to Prayer in charity toward our neighbour who say not My but Our Father Mat. 5.23 Obser 4. Joynt Prayers of many united together are required by the Lord here if 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The prayers of the Righteous avail much how much more when two or three how much more when a greater number of Righteous men pray Mat. 18 20. Obser 5. A ground of reverence and hope when we come unto God seeing our Father is in Heaven Mal. 1.6 Exhort Call upon God Our Heavenly Father That we may effectually obtain our Petitions and rightly call God Father it 's necessary we be his Children and that we be his Children we must be begotten of the Father Jam. 1.18 partakers of his Nature and have his Image and shape in us John 5. That this may be effected it 's necessary that the Father affectionately love and turn unto the fallen Humanity and testifie his Fatherly love unto it to beget it anew of Water and of the Spirit from Death to Life On the other side it 's as needful that the fallen Humanity which hath a filial love unto the Fatherly Deity being prevented by the Spirit move it self in like manner out of love and desire of
