but_o personal_o and_o agree_v to_o that_o person_n only_o and_o so_o be_v it_o not_o here_o for_o you_o see_v here_o in_o this_o prayer_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n either_o of_o son_n or_o holy_a

esay_n the_o 9_o chapter_n call_v christ_n the_o everlasting_a father_n the_o apostle_n say_v 8.6_o though_o there_o be_v that_o be_v call_v god_n whether_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n as_o there_o be_v many_o god_n and_o many_o lord_n yet_o unto_o we_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n which_o be_v that_o father_n of_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o in_o he_o deity_n in_o which_o

&_o elsewhere_o wherefore_o though_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o form_n of_o prayer_n to_o say_v our_o father_n yet_o do_v we_o pray_v to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o because_o so_o the_o name_n father_n include_v but_o the_o scripture_n call_v christ_n our_o brother_n how_o be_v he_o then_o our_o father_n very_o well_o by_o distinction_n of_o two_o nature_n for_o he_o his_o our_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o godhead_n and_o he_o be_v our_o brother_n by_o reason_n of_o manhood_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o satisfy_v for_o thus_o i_o think_v be_v reason_n against_o you_o he_o that_o receive_v we_o into_o favour_n for_o christ_n and_o grant_v our_o petition_n for_o christ_n that_o be_v not_o christ_n himself_o for_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a

therefore_o this_o father_n in_o this_o place_n can_v be_v christ_n you_o trouble_v yourself_o in_o a_o easy_a matter_n and_o you_o do_v not_o distinguish_v as_o we_o needs_o must_v do_v to_o keep_v a_o truth_n in_o these_o cause_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n &_o diverse_a several_a thing_n in_o that_o one_o person_n in_o respect_n of_o those_o several_a nature_n now_o you_o must_v consider_v again_o that_o in_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o nature_n of_o godhead_n and_o a_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n he_o and_o his_o office_n be_v several_a thing_n yet_o he_o one_o christ_n then_o concern_v your_o mayor_n proposition_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o that_o receive_v we_o into_o favour_n and_o hear_v and_o help_v we_o for_o christ_n be_v not_o christ_n himself_o in_o that_o one_o respect_n but_o in_o a_o other_o he_o be_v for_o christ_n as_o mediator_n be_v he_o for_o who_o we_o be_v receive_v hear_v and_o

include_v in_o this_o word_n and_o name_n of_o father_n in_o this_o prayer_n aswell_o as_o any_o other_o person_n then_o this_o nomination_n of_o he_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n how_o agree_v it_o to_o he_o that_o be_v in_o every_o place_n do_v it_o not_o restrain_v that_o ubiquity_n of_o he_o ubiquity_n no_o indeed_o no_o more_o than_o other_o speech_n in_o scripture_n do_v which_o yet_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v seem_v to_o do_v it_o as_o this_o do_v wherefore_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v both_o this_o and_o they_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o not_o only_o in_o this_o prayer_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n 14._o but_o the_o prophet_n also_o say_v he_o have_v prepare_v his_o seat_n in_o heaven_n &_o many_o other_o place_n the_o like_a then_o again_o it_o be_v say_v 42._o do_v not_o go_v up_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o with_o you_o three_o if_o any_o man_n love_v i_o i_o and_o my_o father_n will_v come_v to_o he_o etc._n etc._n which_o come_v &_o go_v shall_v seem_v to_o infringe_v his_o ubiquity_n but_o concern_v the_o first_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o in_o these_o or_o any_o other_o place_n god_n be_v not_o mean_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n either_o circumscriptive_o as_o man_n limit_v by_o place_n here_o and_o not_o else_o where_o for_o that_o time_n either_o definitive_o as_o angel_n by_o propriety_n of_o their_o substance_n but_o that_o we_o may_v so_o speak_v repletive_o because_o with_o his_o absence_n he_o replenish_v and_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o place_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v again_o because_o there_o as_o in_o his_o throne_n and_o place_n of_o great_a dignity_n 23.24_o he_o show_v his_o power_n his_o wisdom_n his_o goodness_n and_o majesty_n more_o than_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therehence_a more_o reveal_v and_o declare_v the_o same_o than_o from_o any_o other_o place_n the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n 19.2_o and_o the_o firmament_n show_v his_o handy_a work_n 2.24_o the_o lord_n hear_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n the_o earth_n the_o corn_n and_o the_o corn_n the_o people_n from_o heaven_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v against_o all_o ungodlynesse_n 118._o from_o heaven_n he_o send_v his_o angel_n from_o heaven_n the_o son_n of_o man_n descend_v from_o heaven_n the_o holy_a spirit_n come_v and_o from_o heaven_n shall_v he_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a 66.1_o wherefore_o in_o these_o respect_n and_o a_o number_n like_o heaven_n be_v call_v his_o throne_n and_o he_o be_v say_v there_o to_o be_v more_o than_o in_o all_o other_o place_n and_o we_o when_o we_o pray_v lift_v our_o eye_n &_o mind_n up_o to_o this_o chief_a throne_n of_o his_o majesty_n when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o communicate_v life_n motion_n light_n and_o all_o goodness_n to_o his_o servant_n say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o remember_v with_o yourself_o that_o even_o in_o the_o same_o

with_o some_o man_n sometime_o we_o must_v understande_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o his_o essence_n as_o though_o that_o be_v not_o in_o some_o place_n but_o of_o his_o efficacy_n and_o work_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o by_o his_o strength_n to_o save_v and_o deliver_v sometime_o thus_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o reprobate_n and_o wicked_a for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v in_o a_o

the_o example_n of_o god_n choose_v ever_o with_o such_o like_a and_o these_o be_v great_a cause_n to_o use_v it_o what_o say_v you_o then_o of_o the_o three_o point_n concern_v the_o person_n to_o be_v pray_v unto_o i_o answer_v that_o only_a god_n and_o none_o but_o god_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o or_o as_o the_o word_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o créede_v have_v one_o god_n in_o trinity_n and_o trinity_n in_o unity_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v which_o answer_n imply_v to_o thing_n as_o you_o see_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o and_o only_o to_o be_v pray_v unto_o let_v we_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o both_o out_o of_o the_o word_n first_o then_o for_o the_o former_a it_o be_v mention_v we_o in_o the_o law_n 6.13_o thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n &_o serve_v he_o &_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n and_o in_o another_o place_n 10.20_o thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o thou_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o he_o &_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n with_o a_o number_n other_o proof_n in_o every_o place_n where_o the_o word_n of_o serve_v the_o lord_n by_o a_o figure_n note_v all_o duty_n due_a unto_o he_o in_o general_n &_o so_o impli_v this_o duty_n of_o prayer_n to_o he_o in_o special_a even_o as_o david_n expound_v it_o in_o his_o psalm_n say_v i_o will_v worship_v towards_o thy_o holy_a temple_n &_o then_o express_v what_o one_o thing_n he_o mean_v by_o that_o worship_n i_o will_v praise_v thy_o name_n because_o of_o thy_o love_a kindness_n &_o truth_n that_o be_v by_o prayer_n of_o

unto_o if_o any_o will_v have_v reason_n as_o well_o as_o testimony_n the_o apostle_n give_v we_o a_o strong_a one_o of_o contrary_n when_o he_o touch_v the_o galathian_o with_o it_o as_o a_o fault_n
