A54945 A discourse of prayer wherein this great duty is stated, so as to oppose some principles and practices of Papists and fanaticks; as they are contrary to the publick forms of the Church of England, established by her ecclesiastical canons, and confirmed by acts of Parliament. By Thomas Pittis, D.D. one of His Majesties chaplains in ordinary. Wherefore, that way and profession in religion, which gives the best directions for it, (viz. prayer) with the most effectual motives to it, and most aboundeth in its observance, hath therein the advantage of all others. Dr. Owen in his preface to his late discourse of the work of the Holy SPirit in prayer, &c. Pittis, Thomas, 1636-1687. 1683 (1683) Wing P2314; ESTC R220541 149,431 404

object_n of_o our_o prayer_n and_o one_o in_o who_o we_o may_v confide_v and_o trust_v since_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n there_o be_v safety_n he_o have_v declare_v that_o he_o keep_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o and_o the_o mark_n of_o it_o be_v visible_a in_o our_o being_n live_v and_o our_o allotment_n in_o this_o world_n and_o especial_o it_o appear_v in_o his_o wonderful_a redemption_n of_o mankind_n when_o he_o give_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o we_o all_o and_o receive_v he_o into_o heaven_n that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v his_o promise_n make_v on_o earth_n and_o make_v continual_a intercession_n for_o we_o in_o virtue_n of_o his_o bloody_a sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_n to_o distrust_v the_o goodness_n of_o such_o a_o god_n will_v be_v both_o

ourselves_o before_o we_o can_v thus_o ungod_o the_o deity_n last_o that_o i_o may_v urge_v a_o most_o conclude_a argument_n god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o prayer_n because_o he_o have_v command_v we_o thus_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o have_v prohibit_v the_o offering_n our_o religious_a devotion_n to_o any_o other_o this_o be_v engraven_v upon_o the_o table_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v of_o a_o stand_n and_o perpetual_a establishment_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o ourselves_o any_o idol_n to_o worship_n nor_o the_o similitude_n of_o any_o thing_n religious_o to_o fall_v down_o before_o it_o exod._n 20._o and_o he_o back_v the_o prohibition_n with_o a_o argument_n draw_v

aaron_n to_o appease_v the_o multitude_n make_v a_o melt_a calf_n which_o the_o people_n suppose_v to_o be_v a_o representation_n of_o their_o deliverer_n and_o the_o god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n rear_v a_o altar_n upon_o which_o they_o make_v their_o burn_a and_o peace_n offering_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o terminate_v their_o worship_n in_o god_n transfer_v their_o oblation_n through_o this_o representation_n to_o he_o that_o be_v superior_a to_o the_o offering_n and_o the_o idol_n make_v god_n the_o ultimate_a object_n of_o their_o devotion_n by_o proclaim_v this_o to_o be_v a_o feast_n unto_o jehovah_n yet_o we_o find_v that_o the_o fire_n kindle_v for_o this_o sacrifice_n make_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o burn_v nor_o can_v moses_n intercession_n expiate_v the_o crime_n but_o he_o blot_v their_o name_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n there_o be_v immediate_o slay_v three_o thousand_o of_o they_o and_o god_n continue_v to_o plague_v the_o people_n

precept_n and_o example_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o they_o approach_v not_o near_o the_o confine_n of_o idolatry_n to_o give_v god_n glory_n to_o another_o or_o his_o praise_n to_o grave_v or_o melt_a image_n too_o numerous_a for_o i_o to_o reckon_v up_o here_o and_o grant_v by_o all_o who_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o those_o scripture_n but_o god_n have_v sufficient_o forbid_v it_o

and_o all_o eye_n that_o be_v not_o blind_a may_v behold_v it_o angel_n themselves_o those_o glorious_a creature_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o draw_v the_o utmost_a of_o our_o civil_a respect_n to_o they_o refuse_v to_o share_v in_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o maker_n and_o prohibit_v the_o testimony_n of_o divine_a worship_n the_o angel_n which_o appear_v to_o converse_v with_o saint_n john_n when_o this_o belove_a disciple_n prostrate_v himself_o to_o worship_v he_o sudden_o reply_v see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o and_o urge_v two_o argument_n to_o enforce_v his_o prohibition_n enough_o to_o deter_v all_o mankind_n from_o pay_v act_n of_o religion_n to_o a_o creature_n 1._o say_v he_o i_o be_o thy_o fellow_n servant_n and_o of_o thy_o brethren_n the_o offspring_n of_o the_o universal_a parent_n therefore_o such_o honour_n be_v not_o due_a to_o i_o 2._o god_n be_v the_o object_n of_o adoration_n such_o homage_n be_v just_o appropriate_v to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o say_v the_o angel_n worship_n god_n rev._n 19.10_o nay_o worship_a god_n by_o the_o mediation_n of_o angel_n beguile_v christian_n of_o the_o reward_n and_o crown_n which_o they_o strive_v for_o col._n 2.18_o and_o much_o more_o must_v they_o miss_v their_o recompense_n if_o they_o make_v their_o religious_a address_n to_o the_o angel_n themselves_o beg_v of_o they_o what_o be_v part_n of_o god_n prerogative_n to_o grant_v now_o as_o the_o invocation_n of_o these_o detract_v so_o much_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o maker_n so_o much_o more_o do_v we_o derogate_v from_o his_o honour_n if_o we_o make_v religious_a petition_n unto_o saint_n for_o these_o be_v of_o a_o inferior_a classis_fw-la their_o nature_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o those_o embellishment_n that_o adorn_v angel_n therefore_o when_o cornelius_n fall_v down_o and_o worship_v saint_n peter_n he_o snatch_v he_o up_o and_o bid_v he_o stand_v upon_o his_o foot_n and_o forbear_v such_o signal_n of_o reverence_n to_o he_o which_o be_v usual_o pay_v in_o act_n of_o devotion_n for_o say_v he_o i_o myself_o also_o be_o a_o man_n act_v 10.26_o thus_o also_o do_v paul_n and_o barnabas_n refuse_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o lycaonian_o rend_v their_o clothes_n at_o their_o public_a blasphemy_n and_o intend_a idolatry_n and_o stop_v their_o sacrifice_n with_o a_o argument_n that_o methinks_v shall_v startle_v other_o we_o also_o be_v man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o you_o act_n 14.15_o this_o be_v the_o last_o argument_n therefore_o why_o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o prayer_n because_o we_o be_v command_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o sacred_a writ_n and_o forbid_v to_o offer_v our_o devotion_n to_o another_o and_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o answer_v to_o my_o three_o enquiry_n by_o show_v we_o to_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v our_o religious_a address_n chap._n v._n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o inquire_v into_o the_o mode_n of_o our_o address_n to_o the_o great_a god_n who_o for_o his_o infinite_a excellency_n we_o adore_v and_o worship_n upon_o supposition_n that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o religious_a devotion_n in_o which_o solemn_a prayer_n bear_v a_o great_a share_n in_o this_o some_o of_o the_o controversy_n among_o we_o raise_v by_o person_n who_o be_v go_v out_o from_o we_o will_v be_v something_o though_o not_o as_o much_o as_o i_o intend_v regard_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v inquire_v into_o the_o manner_n in_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v and_o 1._o with_o
