probable_o the_o chief_a master_n or_o rabbi_n among_o the_o pharisee_n have_v frame_v certain_a form_n of_o prayer_n for_o their_o disciple_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n have_v give_v his_o a_o

and_o long_v for_o may_v sudden_o come_v into_o his_o temple_n so_o this_o disciple_n pray_v christ_n to_o prescribe_v his_o scholar_n and_o follower_n a_o form_n also_o both_o as_o a_o badge_n and_o

leaven_v with_o evil_a as_o well_o as_o their_o sermon_n observable_a it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n sometime_o advise_v on_o this_o wise_a say_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n whatsoever_o they_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o observe_v and_o do_v but_o we_o never_o find_v that_o he_o counsel_v to_o pray_v their_o prayer_n and_o again_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o form_n which_o john_n baptist_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o harbinger_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o christ_n be_v not_o sufficient_o accommodate_v or_o fit_v to_o the_o

consideration_n this_o disciple_n may_v make_v this_o motion_n to_o our_o saviour_n say_v lord_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v as_o john_n also_o teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o occasion_n our_o lord_n more_o plain_o and_o full_o to_o express_v himself_o concern_v the_o use_n of_o that_o form_n of_o prayer_n former_o deliver_v &_o now_o not_o to_o say_v as_o before_z after_o this_o manner_n pray_v you_o but_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v the_o say_n of_o learned_a mr._n mede_n as_o the_o dream_n be_v double_v unto_o pharaoh_n because_o the_o thing_n be_v establish_v by_o god_n so_o the_o lord_n prayer_n be_v twice_o deliver_v that_o we_o may_v not_o scruple_n the_o use_n but_o know_v it_o for_o a_o truth_n that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v recommend_v it_o to_o his_o church_n to_o be_v use_v as_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n and_o not_o a_o pattern_n of_o prayer_n only_o let_v this_o serve_v for_o the_o occasion_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n there_o be_v three_o observation_n which_o i_o shall_v raise_v and_o prosecute_v in_o part_n in_o my_o treat_v on_o this_o text_n 1._o god_n child_n or_o people_n or_o right_n christian_n be_v a_o pray_a generation_n 2._o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o use_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n 3._o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o use_v this_o form_n the_o lord_n prayer_n for_o a_o prayer_n i._o of_o the_o first_o god_n child_n or_o right_n christian_n be_v a_o pray_a generation_n that_o john_n the_o baptist_n the_o elijah_n who_o be_v for_o to_o come_v be_v also_o note_v for_o prayer_n i_o gather_v hence_o because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v and_o that_o they_o viz._n his_o scholar_n or_o disciple_n learn_v this_o lesson_n and_o practise_v this_o duty_n seem_v imply_v in_o the_o same_o phrase_n and_o as_o for_o christ_n himself_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o disciple_n the_o adopt_a child_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v man_n of_o many_o prayer_n those_o who_o much_o frequent_a and_o high_o value_v this_o ordinance_n the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o text_n import_n or_o at_o least_o insinuate_v from_o these_o premise_n i_o infer_v my_o first_o conclusion_n and_o ground_n my_o follow_a discourse_n thereupon_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v what_o prayer_n be_v that_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o pray_v that_o the_o child_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o very_a heathen_n without_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n and_o profane_a or_o scandalous_a person_n formalist_n and_o hypocrite_n within_o do_v sometime_o pray_v that_o god_n own_o people_n his_o dear_a child_n or_o right_n christian_n be_v most_o frequent_a and_o most_o excellent_a at_o prayer_n they_o take_v the_o most_o pain_n about_o it_o and_o the_o great_a pleasure_n in_o it_o prayer_n be_v a_o make_n of_o our_o request_n know_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v a_o offer_v up_o of_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o our_o soul_n i._n e._n of_o our_o
