A81232	A vindication of the Lords prayer, as a formal prayer, and by Christ's institution to be used by Christians as a prayer: against the antichristian practice and opinion of some men. Wherein, also their private and ungrounded zeal is discovered, who are very strict for the observation of the Lords Day, and make so light of the Lords prayer. By Meric Casaubon, D.D. one of the prebandaries of C.C. Canterb.	Casaubon, Meric, 1599-1671.; Grotius, Hugo, 1583-1645.	1660 (1660)	Wing C817; Thomason E1921_3; ESTC R209969	43,421	134

unto_o this_o to_o forbid_v man_n other_o prayer_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v as_o john_n do_v his_o disciple_n not_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v bare_o and_o absolute_o or_o what_o we_o shall_v say_v when_o we_o pray_v but_o as_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n so_o teach_v we_o also_o some_o particular_a form_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v know_v unto_o other_o thy_o disciple_n and_o which_o

by_o christ_n to_o endear_v this_o prayer_n unto_o we_o and_o to_o prevent_v all_o evasion_n have_v any_o ambiguity_n in_o it_o yet_o god_n be_v thank_v there_o be_v scripture_n enough_o beside_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o church_n to_o take_v it_o away_o and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o most_o scrupulous_a neither_o indeed_o do_v i_o hear_v of_o any_o what_o future_a time_n may_v produce_v i_o know_v not_o that_o make_v any_o scruple_n to_o pray_v in_o a_o church_n with_o the_o assembly_n quaker_n and_o anabaptist_n i_o meddle_v not_o with_o or_o in_o his_o house_n with_o his_o family_n because_o christ_n have_v say_v 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 etc._n etc._n so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a cavil_n i_o wish_v some_o will_v take_v more_o notice_n of_o those_o word_n there_o use_v not_o vain_a repetition_n as_o the_o heathen_a do_v for_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v be_v hear_v for_o their_o much_o speak_n the_o word_n i_o think_v be_v express_a enough_o and_o i_o know_v no_o inconvenience_n that_o will_v come_v of_o it_o but_o that_o some_o man_n will_v loose_v somewhat_o of_o that_o contentment_n they_o find_v in_o the_o length_n of_o their_o prayer_n upon_o a_o please_a conceit_n of_o immediate_a inspiration_n but_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o let_v i_o add_v though_o the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v not_o exclude_v other_o prayer_n private_a or_o public_a not_o upon_o particular_a occasion_n only_o but_o at_o no_o time_n and_o that_o we_o have_v warrant_n enough_o from_o scripture_n for_o
