A MOST HEAVEN∣lie
and sure rule according to
the whole Lords Prayer in order:
whereby wee may grow to strong
assurance and much power
in Prayer.
LIue alwaies as an obediēt child,
in the eye of thy heauenly Fa∣ther;
humbled in the reue∣rence
of his most holy and
glorious Maiestie, and in the sense of
thine owne vilenesse and vnworthines
to be called his childe; longing vntill
he take thee vnto himselfe into the hea∣uens;
studying what way thou mayest
* 1.1 honor him most in the meane time:
and that first by yeelding all obedience
to the lawes of his kingdome, and gay∣ning
moe thereunto: attending conti∣nually
what his diuine will and pleasure
is concerning thee, chiefely in thy par∣ticular
descriptionPage 20
calling, and the charge commit∣ted
vnto thee: and then thou shalt sure∣ly
find him God all-sufficient vnto thee,
more tender ouer thee then euer was fa∣ther
or mother, performing vnto thee
all his promises according to all thy pe∣titions,
for this and for the better life; and
sealing vnto thee a plentifull assurance
of the free pardon of all thy sinnes in the
blood of his Sonne Iesus Christ; and that
he will saue thee from the tempter, and
all euill that they shall not hurt thee:
That thou shall be able with all ioy and
thankfulnes to acknowledge vpon hap∣pie
experience, his absolute kingdome
and power, and so to giue him continu∣ally
with all his holy Angels, all glory,
praise and dominion, resting thy
selfe most fully satisfied in his
onely loue and fauour for
euer and euer.
Notes
* 1.1
Let the desire of the two first petiti∣ons be euer in thy hart, & beg al o∣ther things for them only as be∣ing the end of all, then shalt thou bee each way most blessed, and aske what thou wilt so, & thou shall re∣ceiue it.
