only_o for_o than_o we_o shall_v offend_v if_o we_o use_v any_o other_o word_n and_o word_n without_o matter_n be_v babble_v and_o christ_n speak_v in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n the_o evangelist_n write_v in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n but_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v we_o speak_v greek_a and_o hebrew_n only_o when_o we_o pray_v therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n command_v not_o to_o say_v and_o so_o ty_v we_o not_o precise_o to_o these_o word_n only_o second_o he_o do_v not_o enjoin_v we_o to_o pray_v only_o in_o this_o order_n or_o method_n for_o than_o whosoever_o use_v any_o other_o order_n shall_v sin_n and_o christ_n command_v we_o matth._n 6._o first_o to_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n â—3_n matth._n 6._o â—3_n before_o our_o

this_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n do_v not_o command_v we_o to_o use_v only_o this_o method_n three_o he_o do_v not_o command_v we_o to_o pray_v this_o matter_n in_o these_o word_n only_o for_o

part_n that_o he_o command_v we_o to_o pray_v only_o this_o matter_n as_o if_o when_o christ_n say_v thus_o after_o this_o manner_n pray_v he_o shall_v have_v say_v pray_v 1._o the_o matter_n herein_o

then_o we_o may_v lawful_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n or_o any_o other_o prayer_n in_o holy_a scripture_n agreeable_a thereto_o for_o a_o prayer_n for_o paul_n himself_o use_v always_o one_o manner_n

to_o use_v the_o prayer_n in_o scripture_n or_o any_o other_o prayer_n make_v by_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o our_o hand_n consonant_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o here_o

and_o god_n can_v no_o more_o forgive_v sin_n without_o any_o satisfaction_n do_v unto_o his_o justice_n than_o he_o can_v cease_v to_o be_v just_a or_o cease_v to_o be_v good_a wherefore_o in_o

first_o when_o man_n forgive_v the_o wrong_n god_n do_v not_o always_o forgive_v the_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v many_o persecutor_n who_o sin_n be_v never_o forgive_v of_o god_n and_o yet_o god_n

some_o of_o who_o as_o be_v probable_a god_n never_o pardon_v second_o though_o man_n do_v not_o forgive_v the_o wrong_n yet_o the_o lord_n sometime_o may_v and_o do_v forgive_v the_o sin_n for_o if_o

he_o and_o therefore_o the_o guilty_a person_n want_v charity_n in_o revile_v and_o make_v outcry_n against_o the_o persecutor_n of_o justice_n as_o if_o they_o be_v bloodsucker_n and_o so_o forth_o

appear_v therefore_o that_o faith_n be_v requisite_a in_o prayer_n namely_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o do_v assure_v a_o man_n certain_o to_o obtain_v every_o good_a thing_n he_o ask_v 8.32_o faith_n

of_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v hinder_v the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v that_o as_o god_n be_v a_o king_n so_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a able_a to_o conquer_v all_o his_o enemy_n that_o shall_v rebel_v

of_o the_o sermon_n in_o the_o mount_n second_o he_o use_v it_o when_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n a_o form_n of_o prayer_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o john_n who_o teach_v his_o

may_v be_v collect_v that_o matthew_n prescribe_v this_o prayer_n one_o way_n and_o luke_n another_o for_o in_o matthew_n christ_n teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o prayer_n and_o so_o it_o be_v dogmatic_a in_o matthew_n luke_n say_v christ_n teach_v a_o prayer_n for_o his_o word_n be_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v and_o so_o it_o be_v practical_a so_o that_o christ_n teach_v it_o both_o for_o a_o prayer_n which_o his_o disciple_n may_v use_v and_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o prayer_n which_o his_o disciple_n may_v teach_v again_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o christ_n never_o use_v this_o prayer_n but_o twice_o although_o it_o can_v be_v demonstrative_o prove_v only_o this_o conjecture_n we_o have_v that_o whereas_o christ_n make_v diverse_a prayer_n to_o his_o father_n in_o the_o evangelist_n this_o be_v not_o mention_v nor_o any_o petition_n of_o it_o in_o so_o many_o word_n and_o the_o evangelist_n never_o name_v it_o elsewhere_o by_o any_o special_a name_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o writing_n never_o make_v mention_n of_o it_o but_o when_o they_o pray_v in_o their_o writing_n use_v other_o form_n though_o still_o they_o keep_v themselves_o within_o the_o

therefore_o it_o follow_v probable_o that_o the_o apostle_n never_o tie_v themselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prayer_n but_o vary_v upon_o occasion_n brief_o then_o christ_n use_v this_o prayer_n twice_o but_o it_o can_v certain_o be_v determine_v whether_o he_o use_v it_o often_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n use_v it_o often_o prayer_n whether_o christ_n

for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o he_o use_v the_o very_a word_n set_v down_o by_o the_o evangelist_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o evangelist_n use_v to_o set_v down_o not_o all_o and_o only_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n speak_v but_o the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o they_o and_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o evangelist_n have_v do_v it_o in_o other_o place_n why_o may_v they_o not_o do_v it_o in_o this_o place_n especial_o see_v the_o evangelist_n do_v differ_v in_o word_n in_o recite_v many_o of_o christ_n speech_n as_o namely_o of_o the_o beatitude_n 6.20_o mat._n
