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

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

be_v only_o the_o propound_v of_o a_o evil_a object_n to_o the_o understanding_n with_o a_o reason_n to_o enforce_v it_o there_o be_v then_o a_o kind_n of_o repugnancy_n in_o these_o two_o practice_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n in_o scripture_n some_o pray_v against_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n other_o account_v affliction_n good_a for_o they_o and_o exhort_v to_o rejoice_v in_o temptation_n

therefore_o in_o one_o respect_n god_n child_n pray_v against_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n in_o another_o respect_n they_o account_v it_o a_o bless_a and_o joyful_a thing_n to_o be_v tempt_v and_o afflict_a temptation_n god_n purpose_n in_o temptation_n satan_n intent_n in_o temptation_n temptation_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v according_a to_o god_n purpose_n and_o according_a to_o the_o

must_v and_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n do_v pray_v against_o temptation_n according_a to_o the_o devil_n intent_n and_o work_n and_o entreat_v the_o lord_n to_o turn_v the_o devil_n effect_n
