i_o observe_v 1._o they_o can_v be_v true_a worshipper_n that_o worship_v they_o know_v not_o what_o 2._o they_o that_o worship_v the_o father_n as_o the_o proper_a object_n of_o divine_a worship_n

of_o divine_a worship_n conceive_v not_o amiss_o because_o according_a to_o christ_n rule_n he_o be_v a_o true_a worshipper_n 6._o that_o we_o may_v lawful_o have_v communion_n with_o any_o such_o

will_n of_o god_n as_o declare_v by_o christ_n that_o the_o order_n we_o shall_v observe_v in_o our_o conception_n of_o god_n almighty_n and_o in_o pour_v out_o our_o desire_n to_o he_o be_v positive_o and_o direct_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n the_o father_n as_o the_o proper_a appellation_n and_o object_n of_o our_o prayer_n 2._o that_o he_o that_o pray_v to_o god_n the_o father_n pray_v in_o that_o respect_n aright_o and_o to_o the_o true_a god_n 3._o that_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o be_v enjoin_v to_o distinguish_v the_o person_n if_o we_o regard_v and_o eye_n by_o faith_n the_o be_v or_o essence_n we_o worship_v 1._o because_o if_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o distinguish_v the_o person_n in_o prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n or_o material_a our_o saviour_n will_v have_v insert_v it_o in_o his_o directory_n since_o he_o here_o give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o material_a point_n of_o prayer_n 2._o because_o on_o the_o contrary_n he_o express_o
