have_v two_o part_n desire_n and_o faith_n if_o faith_n be_v want_v prayer_n be_v imperfect_a now_o i_o do_v suppose_v that_o there_o be_v no_o papist_n dare_n say_v that_o we_o may_v trust_v in_o the_o saint_n or_o angel_n which_o be_v flâ—t_a idolatry_n and_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o a_o arm_n of_o flesh_n wherefore_o for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o four_o point_n see_v we_o be_v only_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o to_o serve_v god_n therefore_o we_o must_v only_o pray_v to_o god_n furthermore_o this_o four_o person_n to_o who_o we_o must_v make_v our_o prayer_n which_o be_v god_n be_v express_v unto_o we_o two_o way_n first_o by_o a_o name_n of_o relation_n in_o that_o he_o be_v entitle_v father_n second_o by_o the_o place_n he_o inhabit_v heaven_n person_n whether_o father_n be_v a_o word_n of_o nature_n or_o person_n for_o this_o title_n father_n which_o be_v here_o mention_v it_o be_v to_o be_v inquire_v whether_o it_o be_v naturae_fw-la or_o personae_fw-la nomen_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n or_o to_o the_o whole_a trinity_n whether_o we_o speak_v to_o god_n the_o father_n of_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n christ_n or_o to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o maker_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n for_o answer_v whereof_o thus_o much_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o take_v it_o either_o way_n or_o both_o way_n rather_o if_o christ_n pray_v this_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v probable_a he_o do_v then_o without_o doubt_n it_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o it_o signify_v personal_o if_o christ_n prescribe_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n for_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n than_o in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o signify_v the_o whole_a trinity_n who_o be_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o by_o the_o creature_n now_o as_o i_o conjecture_v for_o that_o christ_n do_v both_o pray_v it_o and_o prescribe_v it_o to_o other_o for_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o i_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o compound_n meaning_n of_o the_o word_n signify_v both_o the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o the_o whole_a trinity_n which_o afford_v we_o this_o instruction_n that_o when_o we_o pray_v we_o be_v so_o to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o the_o father_n as_o that_o we_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o other_o person_n of_o trinity_n who_o with_o the_o father_n be_v equal_o to_o be_v worship_v be_v god_n equal_a with_o he_o and_o here_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v impertinent_a to_o consider_v how_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v of_o god_n in_o prayer_n which_o arise_v partly_o out_o of_o the_o title_n which_o be_v give_v to_o god_n partly_o out_o of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o dwell_v this_o point_n may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o five_o position_n which_o follow_v first_o we_o must_v not_o think_v god_n like_o any_o creature_n as_o the_o papist_n have_v paint_v he_o for_o in_o the_o four_o of_o deuteronomie_n moses_n express_o forbid_v the_o israelit_n so_o to_o do_v 4.15_o hoâ—_n we_o must_v conceive_v of_o god_n in_o prayer_n deut._n 4.15_o and_o he_o render_v a_o reason_n in_o that_o place_n because_o they_o see_v nothing_o when_o the_o law_n be_v deliver_v and_o therefore_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o now_o adays_o be_v reprovealbe_n who_o though_o they_o will_v not_o paint_v god_n yet_o they_o paint_v two_o hand_n give_v the_o two_o table_n one_o to_o moses_n and_o another_o to_o aaron_n which_o be_v false_a monstrous_a and_o idolatrous_a false_a because_o the_o table_n be_v give_v only_o to_o moses_n monstrous_a because_o there_o be_v hand_n without_o a_o body_n idolatrous_a because_o there_o be_v hand_n whereas_o god_n have_v no_o shape_n at_o all_o any_o way_n sensible_a second_o although_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n figurative_o there_o be_v hand_n arm_n foot_n face_n ear_n and_o other_o manly_a part_n attribute_v to_o god_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n have_v any_o of_o these_o part_n proper_o indeed_o god_n have_v something_o answerable_a to_o these_o part_n or_o rather_o something_o whereunto_o these_o part_n in_o the_o creature_n be_v suitable_a for_o god_n make_v man_n not_o only_o according_a to_o his_o image_n which_o consist_v in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n but_o also_o according_a to_o his_o similitude_n for_o the_o word_n may_v apt_o be_v distinguish_v so_o that_o man_n be_v a_o similitude_n of_o god_n god_n arm_n and_o hand_n and_o finger_n argue_v his_o power_n and_o activity_n his_o foot_n argue_v his_o ubiquity_n his_o face_n eye_n and_o ear_n declare_v his_o wisdom_n and_o favour_n etc._n etc._n and_o proportionable_a to_o these_o attribute_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o configuration_n of_o the_o lineament_n of_o the_o body_n in_o man_n wherein_o man_n be_v like_o god_n 115._o psal_n 115._o wherefore_o we_o may_v say_v and_o so_o we_o must_v conceive_v of_o god_n contrary_a to_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_a they_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o but_o god_n see_v and_o yet_o he_o have_v no_o eye_n they_o have_v foot_n and_o walk_v not_o but_o god_n walk_v every_o where_o and_o yet_o have_v no_o foot_n and_o so_o of_o whatsoever_o other_o part_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o god_n which_o figure_n be_v call_v anthropopathia_fw-la be_v a_o special_a metaphor_n three_o we_o must_v conceive_v of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n and_o work_n namely_o most_o mighty_a just_a merciful_a wise_a true_a holy_a simple_a and_o every_o way_n infinite_a eternal_a and_o bless_a creator_n redeemer_n sanctifier_n and_o saviour_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n etc._n etc._n four_o we_o must_v so_o direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o one_o person_n as_o that_o we_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o other_o for_o that_o be_v idolatry_n to_o divide_v the_o person_n which_o be_v only_o distinct_a last_o for_o order_n sake_n we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o father_n direct_o and_o primary_o and_o that_o through_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o the_o son_n with_o the_o instinct_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 13.13_o 2._o cor._n 13.13_o or_o to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n personal_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o bless_v the_o corinthian_n from_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n which_o blessing_n be_v a_o prayer_n 48.16_o genes_n 48.16_o and_o by_o the_o example_n of_o jacob_n who_o pray_v that_o the_o angel_n which_o deliver_v he_o from_o all_o evil_n which_o angel_n be_v christ_n will_v bless_v the_o son_n of_o joseph_n we_o see_v then_o to_o which_o person_n of_o trinity_n our_o prayer_n be_v primary_o to_o be_v direct_v with_o the_o manner_n how_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v of_o god_n in_o time_n of_o prayer_n this_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o title_n father_n now_o follow_v the_o place_n which_o god_n inhabit_v which_o be_v the_o second_o argument_n descriptive_a and_o that_o be_v utter_v in_o these_o word_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n which_o also_o do_v impart_v unto_o we_o his_o condition_n that_o he_o be_v heavenly_a of_o which_o two_o point_n a_o little_a in_o order_n heaven_n how_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n first_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n not_o circumscriptive_a as_o though_o he_o be_v include_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o every_o where_n neither_o be_v he_o in_o heaven_n definitive_a as_o though_o when_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n he_o be_v not_o where_o else_o for_o he_o be_v every_o where_o at_o once_o for_o god_n be_v in_o every_o place_n and_o yet_o not_o include_v in_o any_o place_n he_o be_v out_o of_o every_o place_n and_o yet_o exclude_v from_o no_o place_n but_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n first_o because_o that_o in_o heaven_n he_o do_v especial_o manifest_v himself_o in_o his_o mercy_n grace_n and_o glory_n to_o the_o elect_a angel_n and_o saint_n through_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v exalt_v in_o heaven_n second_o because_o that_o from_o heaven_n he_o do_v
