here_o but_o if_o it_o be_v put_v and_o join_v with_o any_o other_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n then_o be_v it_o not_o take_v essential_o
but_o personal_o and_o agree_v to_o that_o person_n only_o and_o so_o be_v it_o not_o here_o for_o you_o see_v here_o in_o this_o prayer_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n either_o of_o son_n or_o holy_a

father_n grant_v and_o creature_n ask_v and_o therefore_o father_n a_o name_n of_o essence_n comprehend_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o it_o do_v diverse_a time_n in_o scripture_n 6._o esay_n the_o 9_o chapter_n call_v christ_n the_o everlasting_a father_n the_o apostle_n say_v 8.6_o though_o there_o be_v that_o be_v call_v god_n whether_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n as_o there_o be_v many_o god_n and_o many_o lord_n yet_o unto_o we_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n which_o be_v that_o father_n of_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o in_o he_o deity_n in_o which_o

&_o elsewhere_o wherefore_o though_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v our_o father_n yet_o do_v we_o pray_v to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o because_o so_o the_o name_n father_n include_v but_o the_o scripture_n call_v christ_n our_o brother_n how_o be_v he_o then_o our_o father_n very_o well_o by_o distinction_n of_o two_o nature_n for_o he_o his_o our_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o godhead_n and_o he_o be_v our_o brother_n by_o reason_n of_o manhood_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o satisfy_v for_o thus_o i_o think_v be_v reason_n

therefore_o this_o father_n in_o this_o place_n can_v be_v christ_n you_o trouble_v yourself_o in_o a_o easy_a matter_n and_o you_o do_v not_o distinguish_v as_o we_o needs_o must_v do_v to_o keep_v a_o truth_n in_o these_o cause_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n &_o diverse_a several_a thing_n in_o that_o one_o person_n in_o respect_n of_o those_o several_a nature_n now_o you_o must_v consider_v again_o that_o in_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o nature_n of_o godhead_n and_o a_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n he_o and_o his_o

do_v not_o go_v up_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o with_o you_o three_o if_o any_o man_n love_v i_o i_o and_o my_o father_n will_v come_v to_o he_o etc._n etc._n which_o come_v &_o go_v shall_v seem_v to_o infringe_v his_o ubiquity_n but_o concern_v the_o first_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o in_o these_o or_o any_o other_o place_n god_n be_v not_o mean_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n either_o
