die_v can_v or_o will_v not_o ask_v bread_n for_o himself_o do_v charity_n forbid_v he_o to_o ask_v for_o those_o that_o shall_v survive_v and_o to_o pray_v for_o posterity_n 7._o and_o final_o

by_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o eat_v objection_n x._o many_o also_o make_v a_o scruple_n to_o pronounce_v this_o prayer_n because_o it_o oblige_v they_o to_o say_v that_o they_o forgive_v they_o that_o have_v trespass_v against_o they_o now_o a_o man_n have_v not_o always_o a_o meaning_n to_o pardon_v this_o pretence_n be_v specious_a for_o if_o i_o have_v

hereupon_o if_o he_o may_v not_o use_v this_o prayer_n he_o may_v not_o use_v any_o other_o in_o so_o much_o that_o to_o forbid_v a_o man_n the_o lord_n prayer_n upon_o this_o occasion_n be_v to_o forbid_v he_o whole_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o what_o form_n soever_o this_o consequence_n be_v manifest_a by_o many_o reason_n first_o of_o all_o he_o can_v make_v a_o good_a prayer_n if_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a at_o least_o in_o substance_n to_o the_o lord_n prayer_n now_o this_o prayer_n than_o bind_v one_o to_o say_v that_o he_o forgive_v his_o enemy_n so_o that_o if_o he_o say_v

a_o offering_n to_o the_o altar_n he_o ought_v first_o to_o reconcile_v himself_o to_o his_o brother_n otherwise_o all_o his_o offering_n all_o his_o supplication_n be_v of_o no_o worth_n add_v to_o this_o that_o no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o prayer_n without_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v obey_v god_n for_o in_o desire_v god_n that_o he_o will_v fulfil_v our_o will_n we_o promise_v that_o we_o

2._o let_v we_o see_v now_o the_o obstacle_n which_o be_v find_v here_o he_o say_v they_o who_o instead_o of_o forgive_a burn_v with_o revenge_n he_o which_o have_v a_o soul_n drown_v in_o his_o

have_v to_o pardon_v i_o desire_v pardon_n for_o this_o that_o it_o be_v hard_a for_o i_o to_o give_v pardon_n and_o i_o desire_v this_o grace_n that_o i_o may_v pardon_v this_o clause_n come_v then_o to_o this_o sense_n forgive_v i_o as_o i_o pray_v that_o thou_o will_v give_v i_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v able_a to_o forgive_v be_v there_o any_o man_n that_o can_v stumble_v at_o this_o be_v there_o also_o any_o christian_n that_o ought_v not_o thus_o to_o speak_v it_o suffice_v not_o to_o allege_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v very_o different_a to_o say_v that_o we_o forgive_v and_o to_o say_v that_o we_o desire_v power_n to_o forgive_v for_o he_o that_o desire_v sincere_o to_o have_v power_n to_o be_v able_a to_o forgive_v have_v already_o begin_v to_o forgive_v if_o that_o this_o

that_o they_o make_v thereof_o a_o paraphrase_n which_o be_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n in_o effect_n although_o that_o they_o pronounce_v not_o the_o very_a same_o period_n of_o it_o answer_n 1._o by_o this_o reckon_n they_o say_v not_o formal_o we_o forgive_v they_o which_o have_v trespass_v against_o we_o but_o they_o say_v it_o in_o substance_n be_v it_o then_o more_o inconvenient_a to_o

that_o we_o must_v express_v all_o the_o meaning_n thereof_o be_v it_o forbid_v to_o express_v the_o word_n thereof_o 2._o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o a_o question_n be_v of_o paraphrase_v a_o

universal_a church_n and_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o what_o supplement_n must_v we_o then_o make_v to_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v defective_a certain_o we_o

a_o full_a enumeration_n of_o all_o other_o must_v we_o not_o say_v in_o general_a forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n i_o retort_v then_o the_o argument_n since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o

they_o we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o pronounce_v it_o answer_n 1._o this_o reason_n be_v not_o conclude_v a_o negative_a argument_n concerning_o a_o fact_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o draw_v out_o of_o scripture_n we_o read_v not_o in_o the_o history_n that_o the_o jew_n ever_o celebrate_v the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n one_o of_o the_o great_a

we_o read_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n name_v in_o their_o commission_n shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o they_o do_v not_o baptise_v in_o this_o form_n 2._o i_o say_v rather_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v dictate_v to_o they_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o they_o use_v it_o be_v it_o credible_a that_o have_v desire_v to_o have_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v unto_o they_o this_o word_n by_o word_n that_o they_o never_o pronounce_v it_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v endow_v with_o a_o spirit_n which_o guide_v they_o in_o their_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o their_o doctrine_n but_o have_v we_o the_o same_o infallible_a spirit_n which_o dictate_v to_o they_o such_o prayer_n be_v we_o certain_a that_o we_o fail_v nomore_o then_o they_o neither_o in_o the_o matter_n nor_o in_o the_o form_n objection_n viii_o after_o this_o they_o ask_v we_o a_o question_n this_o prayer_n say_v they_o be_v find_v write_v in_o two_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o wit_v s._n matt._n 6._o s._n luke_n 11._o but_o with_o diversity_n of_o term_n and_o which_o be_v more_o the_o one_o of_o these_o evangelist_n omit_v that_o which_o the_o other_o have_v write_v how_o then_o ought_v we_o to_o pronounce_v it_o either_o by_o that_o which_o be_v

shall_v be_v observe_v answer_n 1._o if_o this_o argument_n may_v take_v place_n when_o we_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v never_o pronounce_v the_o word_n which_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v in_o that_o action_n for_o they_o be_v relate_v diverse_o in_o four_o divers_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n which_o register_v they_o have_v not_o these_o word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o must_v we_o then_o in_o this_o action_n whole_o omit_v the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o colour_n of_o the_o diversity_n which_o we_o find_v there_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o so_o understand_v it_o when_o he_o show_v the_o corinthian_n the_o form_n wherein_o they_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n he_o rehearse_v

a_o wrong_a conclusion_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o difference_n which_o we_o find_v there_o on_o the_o contrary_a whereas_o god_n repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o divers_a word_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v they_o for_o this_o difference_n tend_v to_o the_o clear_n of_o one_o word_n by_o another_o so_o when_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n say_v remit_v we_o our_o debt_n the_o other_o expound_v it_o by_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o take_v the_o one_o or_o

both_o these_o two_o because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v both_o these_o two_o 3._o to_o this_o that_o they_o allege_v that_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n have_v not_o this_o clause_n for_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v this_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n because_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n to_o wit_n s._n john_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o if_o they_o find_v not_o this_o clause_n in_o s._n luke_n must_v they_o necessary_o pass_v it_o over_o with_o silence_n although_o it_o be_v

write_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o prophet_n whereunto_o also_o we_o dare_v not_o compare_v we_o much_o less_o also_o to_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dictate_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o object_v that_o by_o this_o reckon_n we_o ought_v never_o to_o say_v any_o other_o prayer_n than_o this_o for_o this_o be_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o paraphrase_n the_o scripture_n because_o our_o paraphrase_n or_o interpretation_n be_v never_o so_o authentic_a as_o the_o scripture_n itself_o we_o may_v paraphrase_n the_o lord_n prayer_n with_o other_o prayer_n but_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o our_o paraphrase_n to_o pronounce_v it_o in_o its_o own_o word_n objection_n xii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o their_o last_o objection_n wherein_o they_o believe_v they_o display_v a_o great_a subtlety_n the_o word_n of_o this_o prayer_n say_v they_o be_v dictate_v to_o be_v the_o pattern_n of_o our_o prayer_n but_o not_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o prayer_n answer_n 1._o this_o be_v but_o a_o sophistry_n and_o a_o vain_a subterfuge_n can_v these_o word_n be_v a_o prayer_n and_o the_o model_n of_o prayer_n can_v a_o building_n serve_v for_o a_o model_n to_o another_o building_n be_v these_o thing_n incompatible_a 2._o note_v that_o jesus_n christ_n say_v not_o ask_v your_o father_n that_o his_o name_n may_v be_v sanctify_v that_o he_o give_v you_o your_o bread_n etc._n etc._n nay_o behold_v how_o he_o speak_v say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n say_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n say_v give_v we_o our_o bread_n say_v forgive_v we_o say_v deliver_v we_o etc._n etc._n be_v not_o these_o the_o term_n and_o the_o form_n of_o a_o prayer_n can_v one_o better_a and_o more_o express_o put_v in_o one_o mouth_n one_o own_o word_n or_o do_v jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o ordain_v we_o to_o say_v they_o mean_v the_o quite_o contrary_a to_o wit_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v they_o 3._o but_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v only_o give_v we_o for_o a_o pattern_n and_o not_o for_o a_o prayer_n these_o man_n confess_v that_o in_o pray_v i_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v this_o pattern_n in_o my_o mind_n if_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v it_o in_o my_o mind_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o have_v it_o in_o my_o mouth_n 4._o if_o they_o will_v not_o pronounce_v it_o as_o a_o prayer_n why_o do_v they_o not_o pronounce_v it_o at_o least_o as_o a_o pattern_n or_o form_n when_o they_o shall_v say_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o say_v to_o thou_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n be_v they_o afraid_a to_o lie_v in_o say_v so_o or_o do_v they_o fear_v that_o this_o truth_n be_v not_o well_o speak_v 5._o i_o say_v it_o be_v need_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v continual_o instruct_v to_o pray_v well_o now_o it_o be_v without_o controversy_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v any_o good_a prayer_n if_o it_o agree_v not_o at_o least_o in_o substance_n with_o this_o form_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v it_o not_o then_o expedient_a that_o the_o people_n hear_v often_o this_o form_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v see_v to_o what_o rule_n they_o ought_v to_o conform_v their_o prayer_n we_o tax_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o that_o she_o pronounce_v not_o to_o the_o people_n the_o second_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n because_o that_o this_o silence_n hinder_v very_o many_o from_o acknowledge_v the_o idolatry_n which_o they_o commit_v will_v not_o the_o suppression_n of_o this_o form_n cause_n the_o people_n especial_o as_o many_o poor_a soul_n who_o neither_o can_v nor_o know_v how_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n to_o forget_v in_o the_o end_n this_o prayer_n and_o know_v no_o more_o the_o rule_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o effect_n these_o man_n do_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o cause_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o to_o be_v lose_v to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n mark_v also_o here_o the_o difference_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o prayer_n which_o be_v of_o our_o own_o make_n and_o the_o lord_n prayer_n there_o may_v be_v say_v as_o much_o as_o between_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o the_o pattern_n which_o god_n make_v moses_n see_v upon_o the_o mountain_n the_o pattern_n be_v celestial_a frame_v immediate_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o tabernacle_n be_v earthly_a and_o make_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v all_o celestial_a and_o divine_a we_o be_v in_o part_n from_o man_n industry_n for_o we_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n in_o perfection_n this_o fabric_n of_o our_o spirit_n be_v always_o human_a and_o imperfect_a but_o the_o pattern_n be_v always_o divine_a and_o perfect_a there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o know_v so_o religious_a who_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o fail_v in_o the_o make_n of_o his_o prayer_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o imperfection_n to_o excess_n to_o disorder_n to_o many_o irregularity_n we_o be_v not_o without_o error_n in_o this_o business_n we_o be_v herein_o perpetual_o want_v either_o in_o omit_v or_o be_v over-brief_n in_o one_o point_n over-tedious_a in_o another_o or_o in_o raise_v our_o thought_n out_o of_o their_o rank_n but_o in_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o can_v fail_v to_o speak_v well_o that_o i_o omit_v nothing_o that_o i_o speak_v nothing_o superfluous_a that_o i_o be_o not_o extravagant_a that_o there_o be_v no_o rashness_n in_o my_o word_n after_o then_o that_o i_o have_v frame_v a_o prayer_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v possible_a for_o i_o i_o consider_v the_o defect_n thereof_o and_o to_o repair_v they_o i_o use_v this_o which_o i_o know_v be_v altogether_o perfect_a nay_o i_o say_v that_o after_o i_o have_v present_v a_o prayer_n of_o my_o own_o fashion_n i_o ought_v to_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v help_v the_o defect_n thereof_o and_o to_o these_o end_n i_o present_a unto_o he_o this_o which_o his_o son_n have_v teach_v i_o be_v this_o proceed_v impertinent_a be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o why_o we_o shall_v reject_v the_o use_n of_o this_o prayer_n i_o conclude_v then_o we_o ought_v to_o pronounce_v it_o we_o ought_v because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v put_v it_o in_o our_o mouth_n we_o ought_v because_o that_o this_o be_v the_o abridgement_n of_o all_o other_o prayer_n we_o ought_v because_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o star_n which_o ought_v to_o guide_v we_o in_o pray_v to_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o reform_v the_o defect_n which_o be_v in_o all_o our_o other_o prayer_n we_o ought_v because_o that_o it_o be_v universal_a for_o all_o person_n for_o all_o matter_n at_o all_o time_n in_o all_o place_n this_o be_v a_o prayer_n which_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o world_n pronounce_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a consolation_n to_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v keep_v my_o part_n in_o this_o great_a consort_n this_o be_v a_o prayer_n which_o i_o can_v say_v in_o
