that_o the_o pride_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v beat_v down_o the_o church_n may_v have_v a_o sure_a testimony_n of_o his_o repentance_n those_o punishment_n we_o say_v have_v the_o say_a papist_n

the_o conclusion_n 1._o the_o preface_n our_o father_z which_o art_n in_o heaven_n 4_o father_z this_o word_n do_v first_o of_o all_o teach_v we_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n namely_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n for_o the_o father_z be_v one_o the_o son_n be_v a_o other_o 5_o these_o petition_n be_v direct_v unto_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n that_o thereby_o not_o only_o the_o distinction_n but_o also_o the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n may_v be_v express_v the_o first_o whereof_o be_v the_o father_n the_o second_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o three_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 6_o when_o as_o therefore_o we_o call_v upon_o the_o son_n our_o mind_n stay_v not_o in_o he_o but_o arise_v from_o he_o unto_o the_o father_n as_o we_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n otherwais_o as_o the_o person_n unto_o who_o the_o worship_n of_o invocation_n be_v direct_v be_v not_o separate_v so_o be_v not_o the_o say_a worship_n to_o be_v severallie_o consider_v but_o only_o distinctlie_o see_v the_o same_o reverence_n be_v aequallie_o due_a unto_o all_o the_o 3._o person_n as_o to_o the_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_a god_n 7_o moreover_o this_o most_o sweet_a name_n of_o a_o father_z do_v regard_v we_o also_o see_v we_o do_v not_o call_v upon_o the_o father_n as_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n only_o but_o even_o as_o upon_o our_o father_n 8_o again_o this_o word_n do_v set_v down_o the_o other_o foundation_n of_o our_o trust_n namely_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n be_v also_o we_o though_o in_o a_o diverse_a respect_n 9_o for_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n 1._o by_o nature_n only_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o son_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o
father_n 2._o in_o respect_n that_o his_o humanity_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v by_o personal_a union_n subsist_v in_o that_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n 10_o but_o he_o be_v our_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o adoption_n that_o be_v in_o regard_n that_o he_o do_v vouchsafe_v we_o be_v spiritual_o engraft_v into_o christ_n by_o faith_n to_o be_v call_v child_n as_o those_o who_o be_v elect_v in_o he_o he_o justifi_v &_o will_v one_o day_n glorify_v 11_o therefore_o this_o word_n teach_v we_o again_o that_o belief_n in_o the_o father_n through_o the_o son_n must_v go_v before_o our_o prayer_n the_o which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o present_a prayer_n be_v not_o only_o not_o acceptable_a but_o even_o sin_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n 12_o we_o be_v also_o by_o this_o mean_v teach_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v hear_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o come_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n not_o only_o wihout_v any_o consideration_n of_o our_o merit_n which_o can_v be_v none_o at_o all_o but_o contrariwise_o that_o we_o conceive_v our_o prayer_n trust_v in_o his_o only_a free_a adoption_n and_o mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 13_o last_o this_o word_n father_z do_v require_v that_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o our_o sin_n past_a and_o a_o firm_a purpose_n to_o amend_v our_o life_n otherwise_o our_o prayer_n be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o impudency_n be_v not_o tolerable_a to_o call_v he_o father_n who_o we_o be_v not_o sorry_a that_o we_o have_v offend_v and_o who_o ever_o after_o we_o mean_v not_o to_o fear_v and_o reverence_n our_o 14_o this_o do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o 2._o thing_n both_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n in_o true_a prayer_n 1._o of_o our_o adoption_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o who_o have_v that_o only_a son_n by_o nature_n coaeternall_a with_o himself_o do_v account_v we_o his_o son_n adopt_v in_o he_o without_o who_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n nor_o any_o true_a confidence_n in_o call_v upon_o god_n 2._o that_o true_a love_n be_v to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n that_o as_o the_o father_n who_o be_v but_o one_o be_v yet_o in_o his_o son_n the_o common_a father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a so_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o can_v be_v acknowledge_v for_o son_n who_o be_v not_o in_o love_n with_o their_o brethren_n otherwise_o they_o shall_v be_v account_v to_o be_v in_o the_o body_n who_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o member_n thereof_o which_o can_v be_v 15_o this_o conjunction_n consist_v partly_o in_o the_o agreement_n of_o doctrine_n and_o religion_n partly_o in_o the_o affection_n and_o therefore_o before_o we_o can_v true_o call_v upon_o god_n we_o must_v be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o maintain_v peace_n and_o concord_n one_o with_o another_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o all_o unkindness_n and_o hatred_n be_v lay_v aside_o we_o must_v pray_v from_o our_o heart_n even_o for_o our_o enemy_n 16_o but_o this_o conjunction_n can_v be_v perfect_a while_o we_o live_v here_o for_o all_o of_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o often_o not_o in_o the_o same_o part_n now_o in_o respect_n of_o mutual_a live_n together_o there_o be_v none_o but_o in_o some_o thing_n he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o man_n but_o as_o the_o imperfection_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o effect_n thereof_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o our_o mutual_a agreement_n both_o in_o religion_n and_o also_o in_o affection_n so_o that_o we_o be_v displease_v with_o ourselves_o for_o those_o our_o imperfection_n and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o desirous_a of_o a_o growth_n in_o our_o obedience_n 17_o see_v this_o communion_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o comprehend_v the_o elect_a that_o be_v already_o endue_v with_o faith_n and_o strive_v together_o with_o we_o in_o this_o life_n against_o sin_n but_o even_o those_o that_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o lie_v as_o yet_o uncalled_a know_v only_o unto_o god_n our_o prayer_n also_o do_v belong_v unto_o they_o 18_o but_o as_o for_o those_o who_o spirit_n be_v already_o gather_v with_o christ_n and_o who_o body_n be_v a_o

such_o prayer_n be_v mere_a thanks-givings_a do_v nevertheless_o want_v a_o ground_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v abolish_v as_o the_o very_a issue_n of_o it_o have_v prove_v for_o it_o be_v
