the_o weakness_n of_o such_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o utter_v their_o own_o thought_n and_o desire_n therefore_o christ_n as_o he_o put_v good_a thought_n in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a

the_o very_a word_n of_o prayer_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o can_v pray_v quest._n there_o have_v be_v a_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v use_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n or_o pray_v upon_o a_o book_n ans._n but_o the_o question_n need_v be_v no_o question_n among_o we_o for_o we_o see_v by_o christ_n example_n if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o the_o gift_n to_o utter_v prayer_n in_o his_o own_o word_n better_o use_v another_o man_n help_n than_o quite_o to_o omit_v such_o a_o worthy_a duty_n pray_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o christ_n give_v a_o direction_n to_o pray_v be_v to_o correct_v a_o number_n of_o error_n and_o obliquity_n that_o be_v in_o prayer_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o be_v give_v both_o in_o this_o place_n and_o chap._n 7._o where_o christ_n say_v be_v not_o as_o the_o heathen_a but_o after_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o etc._n etc._n so_o the_o lord_n prescribe_v this_o form_n of_o prayer_n as_o a_o correction_n of_o the_o abuse_n and_o

howsoever_o we_o can_v speak_v wise_o in_o the_o ear_n of_o man_n yet_o we_o be_v the_o very_a fool_n in_o the_o world_n when_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v unto_o god_n and_o so_o as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o help_v the_o error_n and_o defect_n of_o prayer_n our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v give_v we_o a_o direction_n how_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o cyprian_n say_v he_o who_o have_v give_v life_n have_v also_o teach_v we_o how_o to_o pray_v divine_n cyprian_a show_v that_o the_o inward_a intent_n without_o the_o action_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o action_n itself_o for_o though_o the_o action_n be_v good_a yet_o if_o the_o manner_n be_v not_o so_o also_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v it_o isai._n 58._o 3._o the_o people_n say_v we_o have_v fast_v 3._o and_o punish_v ourselves_o etc._n etc._n but_o the_o lord_n say_v you_o fast_o to_o strife_n and_o debate_n and_o to_o smite_v with_o the_o fist_n of_o wickedness_n etc._n etc._n so_o though_o that_o the_o action_n be_v good_a yet_o because_o the_o manner_n of_o perform_v it_o be_v not_o god_n do_v by_o the_o prophet_n reprehend_v it_o so_o 1_o chron._n 15._o 13._o david_n 13._o action_n be_v good_a when_o he_o seek_v to_o bring_v up_o the_o ark_n but_o because_o the_o manner_n be_v not_o good_a because_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v god_n devout_o but_o put_v god_n ark_n upon_o a_o cart_n whereas_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v carry_v upon_o priest_n shoulder_n the_o lord_n make_v a_o breach_n among_o they_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o we_o see_v in_o regard_n of_o gracious_a acceptation_n the_o manner_n of_o the_o action_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o action_n itself_o and_o thus_o we_o may_v not_o only_o pray_v but_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o acceptation_n and_o keep_v a_o due_a manner_n in_o our_o prayer_n 14_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o great_a assurance_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v etc._n etc._n as_o 1_o john_n 5._o 14._o this_o be_v our_o assurance_n that_o if_o we_o ask_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o will_n he_o hear_v us._n now_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v that_o when_o we_o follow_v christ_n direction_n we_o ask_v according_a to_o god_n will_v and_o so_o no_o question_n but_o god_n will_v hear_v us._n when_o the_o woman_n of_o tekoah_n make_v tekoah_n a_o report_n to_o david_n concern_v absolom_n his_o son_n david_n say_v be_v not_o the_o hand_n of_o joab_n in_o this_o which_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v so_o david_n do_v the_o better_a accept_v 19_o of_o it_o even_o so_o when_o a_o poor_a christian_a come_v to_o prayer_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v be_v not_o this_o tongue_n teach_v by_o christ_n be_v not_o christ_n a_o counsellor_n in_o this_o action_n we_o may_v think_v the_o lord_n will_v the_o rather_o entertain_v and_o accept_v of_o it_o saint_n cyprian_n say_v as_o the_o lord_n our_o master_n have_v teach_v we_o and_o of_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o friendly_a and_o a_o familiar_a cyprian_a kind_n of_o prayer_n to_o entreat_v god_n with_o his_o own_o word_n when_o any_o one_o pray_v the_o lord_n know_v the_o word_n of_o his_o son_n so_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o please_v christ_n to_o give_v a_o direction_n in_o prayer_n first_o to_o help_v the_o weakness_n of_o such_o as_o can_v pray_v second_o to_o correct_v a_o number_n of_o error_n in_o prayer_n three_o that_o we_o may_v have_v so_o much_o the_o great_a acceptation_n with_o god_n now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o subdivision_n 2_o what_o this_o direction_n be_v which_o follow_v in_o these_o word_n our_o father_n which_o branch_n be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n of_o this_o direction_n there_o be_v three_o part_n 1_o the_o preface_n 2_o the_o petition_n 3_o the_o conclusion_n first_o there_o be_v a_o preface_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v not_o set_v down_o the_o petition_n abrupt_o but_o he_o first_o begin_v with_o a_o solemn_a preface_n and_o why_o with_o a_o preface_n to_o show_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o provision_n for_o prayer_n a_o disposition_n of_o ourselves_o and_o a_o compose_n of_o the_o affection_n note_n before_o we_o pray_v we_o may_v not_o blunt_o rush_v upon_o this_o holy_a duty_n but_o come_v forward_o with_o devotion_n reject_v all_o worldly_a thought_n and_o prepare_v ourselves_o before_o we_o pray_v psal._n 10._o 17._o thou_o prepare_v

now_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v be_v prepare_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o prayer_n 1_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n 2_o in_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o first_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v come_v with_o holy_a reverence_n before_o he_o for_o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o mortal_a man_n or_o earthly_a power_n that_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o in_o prayer_n but_o a_o
