by_o say_v thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n see_v as_o there_o be_v earthly_a king_n and_o prince_n which_o have_v kingdom_n also_o beside_o the_o lord_n a._n though_o earthly_a king_n have_v kingdom_n

thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n a._n they_o be_v expound_v in_o 1._o chron._n 29._o 11._o q._n why_o be_v the_o kingdom_n say_v to_o be_v god_n a._n for_o two_o cause_n 1._o because_o he_o be_v absolute_a

be_v a_o reason_n to_o induce_v we_o to_o prayer_n because_o he_o have_v absolute_a authority_n and_o interest_n in_o all_o thing_n q._n why_o be_v it_o say_v the_o power_n be_v he_o a._n because_o he_o have_v not_o only_a authority_n but_o also_o ability_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o and_o all_o other_o power_n be_v derive_v from_o he_o q._n how_o do_v this_o serve_v to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o prayer_n a._n we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v the_o more_o unto_o god_n because_o we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o we_o ask_v but_o by_o power_n from_o he_o q._n why_o be_v glory_n

spark_n of_o his_o glory_n q._n how_o do_v this_o move_v we_o to_o prayer_n a._n very_o much_o for_o we_o must_v invocate_v his_o holy_a name_n that_o in_o so_o do_v we_o may_v give_v he_o that_o glory_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o q._n why_o be_v it_o say_v for_o ever_o a._n for_o two_o cause_n 1._o to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o lord_n and_o earthly_a prince_n 2._o to_o show_v

ever_o q._n why_o be_v this_o word_n add_v amen_o or_o so_o be_v it_o a._n to_o teach_v we_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o we_o must_v not_o as_o many_o do_v crave_v that_o in_o word_n which_o we_o have_v no_o desire_n unto_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o that_o we_o must_v desire_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n whatsoever_o we_o ask_v with_o our_o lip_n 2._o that_o in_o prayer_n we_o must_v strive_v
be_v the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n himself_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v pray_v that_o all_o may_v be_v save_v what_o for_o those_o who_o god_n will_v not_o have_v save_v god_n forbid_v our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o be_v as_o wise_a and_o as_o charitable_a as_o they_o that_o hold_v this_o point_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v otherwise_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v thy_n will_v be_v do_v that_o be_v lord_n save_o those_o who_o thou_o will_v save_v and_o not_o who_o thou_o will_v not_o save_v so_o that_o our_o prayer_n we_o see_v must_v be_v ground_v upon_o god_n will_n and_o not_o upon_o our_o own_o will_n if_o then_o he_o will_v not_o save_v all_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v against_o his_o will_n that_o he_o will_v save_v all_o for_o then_o in_o stead_n of_o say_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o or_o to_o this_o effect_n lord_n we_o know_v that_o thou_o have_v decree_v and_o appoint_v from_o everlasting_a who_o to_o glorify_v in_o thy_o

have_v a_o mind_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o man_n save_v therefore_o alter_v thy_o decree_n and_o change_v thy_o purpose_n that_o be_v be_v contrary_a to_o thyself_o and_o so_o not_o thy_o will_n but_o we_o be_v do_v from_o such_o kind_n of_o pray_v or_o rather_o blasphemous_a and_o presumptuous_a prate_n the_o lord_n deliver_v we_o &_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o pray_v as_o his_o word_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v that_o be_v in_o our_o prayer_n to_o refer_v our_o will_n to_o god_n will_v and_o not_o to_o presume_v to_o crave_v that_o which_o god_n will_v never_o grant_v but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v his_o number_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n who_o be_v know_v to_o himself_o and_o christian_a charity_n which_o be_v a_o most_o lively_a fruit_n of_o faith_n bind_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v catholic_a that_o be_v scatter_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n which_o church_n likewise_o be_v
