reflect_v upon_o the_o end_n of_o prayer_n the_o chief_a subordinate_a end_n of_o prayer_n for_o there_o be_v many_o other_o inferior_a to_o they_o be_v these_o to_o prevail_v with_o god_n for_o the_o communicate_v of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n that_o so_o by_o faith_n and_o repentance_n we_o may_v be_v interest_v in_o christ_n and_o then_o by_o the_o application_n of_o his_o merit_n to_o our_o soul_n we_o be_v put_v into_o a_o estate_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o those_o intermediate_v or_o subordinate_a end_n of_o prayer_n for_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o that_o the_o next_o remove_n we_o shall_v arrive_v at_o eternal_a salvation_n which_o be_v the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o prayer_n and_o of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n thus_o then_o i_o argue_v if_o these_o be_v the_o end_n of_o prayer_n than_o the_o best_a compose_a prayer_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o most_o efficacious_a for_o the_o procurement_n of_o these_o end_n but_o if_o our_o saviour_n command_v we_o to_o make_v prayer_n after_o he_o and_o give_v a_o dispensation_n to_o omit_v his_o own_o though_o but_o sometime_o the_o forementioned_a consequence_n will_v follow_v that_o he_o prefer_v our_o prayer_n before_o his_o own_o for_o he_o do_v most_o certain_o desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o do_v so_o have_v as_o certain_o appoint_v the_o most_o conducible_a mean_n thereunto_o but_o if_o he_o dispense_v with_o the_o continue_a use_n of_o his_o own_o prayer_n and_o enjoin_v we_o to_o make_v other_o after_o it_o and_o those_o to_o be_v our_o daily_a prayer_n it_o will_v inevitable_o follow_v that_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o as_o more_o efficacious_a than_o his_o own_o which_o be_v a_o most_o blasphemous_a consequence_n but_o again_o suppose_v this_o text_n after_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o do_v not_o so_o necessary_o enjoin_v the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n yet_o the_o other_o do_v for_o it_o say_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n this_o admit_v of_o no_o evasion_n as_o i_o suppose_v myself_o to_o have_v already_o prove_v since_o these_o very_a word_n be_v the_o immediate_a subject_n of_o the_o command_n whereupon_o i_o offer_v this_o argument_n if_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v ipsis_fw-la terminis_fw-la and_o express_o command_v any_o one_o duty_n and_o any_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n seem_v to_o dispense_v with_o it_o the_o ambiguous_a text_n must_v be_v accommodate_v to_o that_o which_o be_v conspicuous_a and_o clear_o intelligible_a for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n repugnant_a to_o itself_o then_o if_o my_o judgement_n fail_v i_o not_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o text_n in_o s_o t_o luke_n admit_v of_o no_o cavil_n and_o the_o other_o carry_v but_o a_o seem_a occasion_n of_o one_o but_o this_o seemingness_n if_o there_o be_v such_o must_v vail_v to_o the_o other_o which_o be_v so_o nervous_a and_o evince_a as_o for_o that_o ridiculous_a caution_n that_o they_o omit_v the_o use_n of_o it_o in_o public_a lest_o man_n shall_v idolise_v a_o form_n they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o because_o they_o may_v idolise_v the_o mechanic_n part_n of_o it_o namely_o the_o paper_n and_o the_o bind_n or_o the_o letter_n and_o not_o look_v at_o the_o system_fw-la of_o truth_n which_o be_v comprise_v in_o it_o but_o beside_o this_o the_o lord_n prayer_n can_v no_o more_o be_v account_v indifferent_a as_o to_o its_o peculiar_a use_n which_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o pray_v than_o any_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o to_o their_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a use_n because_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v a_o part_n of_o scripture_n now_o the_o historical_a part_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v the_o doctrinal_a part_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o practise_v and_o urge_v in_o polemical_a discourse_n the_o supplicatory_a part_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v and_o therefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o when_o man_n do_v vary_v from_o this_o prayer_n which_o undoubted_o be_v lawful_a prvide_v they_o do_v not_o exclude_v it_o their_o prayer_n shall_v be_v compose_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v of_o sentence_n collect_v out_o of_o scripture_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n be_v in_o the_o general_n repugnant_a to_o theology_n which_o enjoin_v the_o great_a reverence_n and_o esteem_v that_o possible_o can_v be_v for_o matter_n of_o divine_a institution_n and_o especial_o a_o command_n which_o issue_v immediate_o and_o with_o so_o much_o clearness_n out_o of_o the_o bless_a mouth_n of_o christ_n himself_o do_v certain_o call_v for_o our_o ready_a and_o constant_a obedience_n and_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o christian_a practice_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v magnify_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n if_o we_o take_v but_o a_o moral_a
