further_o to_o the_o see_v of_o a_o image_n but_o to_o a_o all-seeing_a god_n i_o come_v second_o instance_n thus_o look_v abroad_o into_o the_o creature_n and_o in_o all_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o

that_o be_v the_o lord_n thus_o you_o must_v quit_v yourselves_o of_o a_o image_n he_o that_o give_v all_o be_v above_o all_o god_n give_v all_o therefore_o he_o be_v above_o all_o and_o to_o that_o god_n i_o put_v up_o my_o petition_n why_o do_v we_o not_o mention_v the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o the_o father_n quest_n quest_n because_o the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o

therefore_o we_o mention_v he_o only_o though_o we_o may_v mention_v the_o other_o yet_o we_o pray_v only_o to_o the_o father_n how_o do_v this_o word_n father_n help_v a_o man_n to_o call_v on_o god_n by_o prayer_n quest_n quest_n when_o we_o conceive_v of_o god_n as_o a_o father_n resp_n resp_n it_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o mercy_n that_o he_o will_v pity_v we_o as_o a_o father_n a_o man_n will_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o his_o son_n easy_o and_o will_v spare_v his_o son_n though_o he_o be_v a_o prodigal_a yet_o a_o father_n will_v pass_v by_o and_o cover_v all_o so_o i_o pray_v to_o a_o father_n do_v i_o pray_v to_o a_o judge_n that_o will_v condemn_v i_o or_o a_o enemy_n that_o will_v not_o be_v reconcile_v to_o i_o little_a hope_n i_o have_v to_o speed_v because_o i_o have_v wrong_v he_o yet_o i_o will_v arise_v and_o go_v to_o my_o father_n and_o say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v psal_n 103.13_o as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o son_n 13._o psal_n 103._o 13._o so_o god_n pity_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o he_o be_v my_o child_n say_v god_n though_o stubborn_a and_o i_o must_v look_v to_o he_o when_o a_o man_n rebellion_n witness_v against_o he_o and_o satan_n vex_v he_o and_o say_v what_o do_v thou_o think_v to_o have_v mercy_n and_o be_v so_o vile_a true_o say_v the_o soul_n i_o be_o naught_o but_o i_o go_v to_o a_o father_n if_o a_o child_n do_v but_o aim_v at_o a_o thing_n the_o father_n accept_v he_o if_o he_o speak_v but_o half_a a_o sentence_n the_o father_n interpret_v it_o so_o this_o be_v the_o great_a encouragement_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o go_v to_o god_n that_o notwithstanding_o so_o many_o fail_n and_o though_o so_o dead_a and_o so_o barren_a yet_o a_o father_n bear_v all_o the_o lord_n interpret_v all_o though_o but_o break_v

it_o be_v but_o a_o sigh_n he_o receive_v it_o so_o this_o may_v persuade_v we_o of_o the_o willingness_n of_o god_n to_o help_v we_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o go_v to_o he_o that_o be_v hard-hearted_a little_a hope_n he_o have_v to_o speed_v we_o say_v he_o be_v a_o cruel_a man_n we_o have_v as_o good_a pull_v water_n out_o of_o a_o flint_n etc._n etc._n a_o child_n will_v not_o beg_v of_o a_o stranger_n but_o will_v go_v to_o his_o father_n so_o we_o pray_v to_o our_o father_n that_o be_v more_o willing_a to_o hear_v and_o grant_v than_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v 15._o luke_n 15._o i_o will_v go_v to_o my_o father_n say_v the_o prodigal_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o unworthy_a yet_o i_o go_v to_o a_o father_n nay_o the_o lord_n hear_v before_o we_o call_v he_o prepare_v the_o heart_n to_o call_v and_o answer_n what_o it_o crave_v when_o they_o ask_v the_o father_n put_v into_o the_o child_n mouth_n what_o it_o shall_v say_v and_o then_o he_o will_v give_v it_o what_o it_o crave_v
