they_o better_o for_o god_n will_v destroy_v these_o family_n that_o call_v not_o on_o his_o name_n jer._n 10.25_o but_o when_o they_o see_v that_o they_o can_v prevail_v with_o the_o godly_a to_o cast_v away_o one_o part_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o the_o ungodly_a to_o cast_v away_o all_o the_o rest_n than_o they_o bring_v argument_n that_o no_o man_n live_v aught_o to_o say_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o prayer_n first_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o christ_n doctrine_n that_o we_o shall_v say_v these_o word_n but_o he_o rather_o speak_v they_o to_o frame_v other_o prayer_n by_o for_o he_o say_v pray_v after_o this_o manner_n mat._n 6.9_o i_o answer_v although_o the_o manner_n and_o form_n be_v there_o teach_v by_o christ_n yet_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o these_o word_n may_v be_v use_v as_o a_o prayer_n as_o a_o just_a weight_n or_o measure_n may_v serve_v for_o our_o present_a use_n to_o weigh_v or_o measure_v any_o thing_n by_o and_o yet_o serve_v for_o a_o pattern_n to_o make_v another_o by_o so_o this_o prayer_n may_v be_v a_o pattern_n of_o true_a prayer_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v use_v the_o very_a word_n of_o at_o in_o prayer_n as_o we_o do_v many_o of_o david_n psalm_n to_o praise_n god_n with_o except_o they_o deny_v all_o scripture_n word_n to_o be_v use_v as_o prayer_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o why_o shall_v this_o scripture_n be_v deny_v and_o when_o christ_n say_v after_o this_o manner_n pray_v we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o verbatim_o after_o he_o as_o a_o scholar_n may_v say_v his_o lesson_n verbatim_o after_o his_o master_n 2_o they_o say_v matthew_n and_o luke_n have_v not_o the_o same_o form_n nor_o the_o same_o word_n nor_o the_o same_o number_n of_o they_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v say_v as_o a_o prayer_n i_o answer_v we_o do_v not_o contend_v that_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n must_v of_o necessity_n always_o be_v use_v and_o no_o other_o but_o we_o hold_v it_o lawful_a to_o use_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o prayer_n either_o as_o it_o be_v record_v by_o matthew_n or_o by_o luke_n or_o if_o we_o say_v they_o verbatim_o after_o the_o one_o it_o be_v no_o offence_n to_o the_o other_o and_o if_o we_o vary_v in_o phrase_n from_o both_o it_o be_v no_o offence_n to_o either_o only_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o same_o word_n or_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n may_v be_v use_v by_o we_o as_o a_o prayer_n 3_o they_o say_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o christ_n in_o both_o the_o evangelist_n do_v but_o teach_v we_o how_o to_o use_v prayer_n aright_o and_o he_o do_v teach_v we_o the_o right_a use_n of_o almesdeede_n and_o fasting_n which_o be_v to_o avoid_v ambition_n hypocrisy_n and_o babble_a and_o the_o like_a and_o how_o to_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n as_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n ask_v bread_n or_o fish_n or_o a_o egg_n mat._n 6.10_o luke_n 11.1.18_o and_o to_o make_v our_o request_n unto_o god_n for_o our_o particular_a want_n in_o faith_n and_o love_n i_o answer_v the_o say_n of_o these_o word_n verhatom_n which_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o make_v we_o guilty_a of_o ambition_n hypocrisy_n and_o babble_a and_o in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o word_n can_v we_o come_v to_o god_n with_o feel_v of_o our_o particular_a want_n as_o child_n to_o their_o father_n and_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o can_v we_o practise_v faith_n and_o love_n they_o say_v these_o thing_n but_o they_o can_v prove_v they_o and_o till_o than_o we_o deny_v they_o but_o will_v they_o condemn_v all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n that_o use_v this_o prayer_n to_o be_v

4_o they_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n which_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n do_v neither_o bind_v themselves_o to_o these_o word_n nor_o other_o but_o still_o pray_v according_a to_o their_o several_a occasion_n as_o in_o act._n 1.24_o 25.4.24_o 30._o i_o answer_v although_o they_o do_v not_o so_o bind_v themselves_o to_o these_o word_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o never_o use_v the_o same_o word_n as_o a_o prayer_n and_o beside_o they_o may_v go_v by_o this_o rule_n upon_o several_a occasion_n for_o although_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o do_v teach_v any_o to_o say_v over_o the_o lord_n prayer_n yet_o they_o use_v set_v form_n of_o prayer_n in_o their_o salutation_n for_o say_v paul_n it_o be_v the_o token_n in_o every_o epistle_n so_o i_o wright_n the_o grace_n of_o cur_n lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o you_o all_o amen_o two_o thes_n 3_o 17_o 18._o then_o be_v it_o unlawful_a to_o use_v the_o form_n of_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o and_o yet_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o use_v their_o own_o form_n for_o a_o prayer_n and_o yet_o they_o teach_v man_n according_a to_o their_o occasion_n and_o necessity_n to_o make_v their_o request_n know_v to_o god_n phil._n 4.6_o than_o i_o say_v they_o must_v use_v the_o prayer_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v supplication_n in_o the_o spirit_n although_o they_o be_v not_o always_o tie_v to_o say_v those_o very_a word_n in_o their_o prayer_n 5_o they_o say_v to_o pray_v in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n the_o unlearned_a know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v then_o how_o shall_v they_o say_v amen_o 1_o cor._n 14.16_o but_o say_v they_o this_o prayer_n they_o know_v and_o will_v say_v amen_o though_o it_o be_v speak_v in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o use_v it_o in_o any_o language_n i_o answer_v they_o may_v use_v the_o prayer_n often_o at_o corinth_n and_o yet_o the_o unlearned_a not_o able_a to_o say_v amen_o because_o there_o be_v extraordinary_a prophet_n and_o sometime_o they_o speak_v strange_a language_n by_o a_o special_a gist_n at_o such_o a_o time_n the_o unlearned_a can_v not_o understand_v they_o as_o at_o the_o end_n to_o say_v amen_o therefore_o paul_n bid_v they_o pray_v in_o that_o language_n that_o the_o people_n may_v join_v with_o they_o in_o their_o prayer_n but_o suppose_v they_o seldom_o use_v this_o in_o strange_a language_n this_o may_v cause_v they_o not_o to_o understand_v it_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o unlawful_a to_o use_v it_o as_o a_o prayer_n but_o suppose_v the_o unlearned_a hear_v they_o often_o to_o say_v it_o yet_o they_o can_v not_o say_v amen_o to_o it_o unless_o they_o have_v a_o distinct_a understanding_n of_o the_o several_a word_n therein_o that_o their_o heart_n and_o affection_n may_v go_v along_o with_o he_o that_o say_v it_o and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n witness_v their_o consent_n by_o say_v amen_o to_o it_o again_o if_o the_o people_n when_o they_o understand_v it_o may_v say_v amen_o to_o it_o be_v it_o unlawful_a or_o dare_v they_o say_v amen_o to_o a_o unlawful_a prayer_n which_o be_v not_o supplication_n in_o the_o spirit_n nor_o make_v in_o the_o feel_n of_o their_o want_n nor_o in_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o if_o they_o may_v lawful_o say_v amen_n at_o the_o conclusion_n then_o without_o all_o question_n it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o a_o prayer_n 6_o they_o say_v if_o christ_n have_v command_v to_o use_v these_o word_n in_o that_o number_n and_o order_n than_o they_o sin_v that_o pray_v at_o any_o time_n and_o use_v not_o these_o word_n for_o say_v he_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v this_o command_n of_o christ_n show_v that_o he_o allow_v the_o use_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o same_o number_n and_o order_n that_o either_o matthew_n or_o luke_n have_v record_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v tie_v to_o those_o very_a word_n alone_o and_o to_o no_o other_o in_o our_o prayer_n suppose_v a_o man_n send_v his_o servant_n on_o a_o message_n to_o his_o friend_n and_o command_v he_o to_o say_v to_o he_o such_o word_n verbatim_o after_o this_o manner_n or_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n then_o shall_v that_o servant_n be_v count_v unfaithful_a or_o disobedient_a if_o he_o use_v the_o very_a word_n without_o any_o change_n or_o if_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n when_o christ_n send_v out_o his_o apostle_n he_o give_v they_o a_o prayer_n for_o salutation_n when_o they_o come_v to_o any_o house_n to_o say_v peace_n be_v to_o this_o house_n luke_n 10.5_o thereby_o to_o warrant_v they_o that_o they_o may_v use_v those_o very_a word_n verbatim_o or_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n and_o either_o way_n obey_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o lord_n teach_v a_o form_n of_o praise_n to_o say_v always_o the_o lord_n be_v
