CHAP. V. Quest. Whether we should direct our Prayers, only to God the Father? or may also to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost? And how may we order our thoughts aright, in distinguishing these three persons, especially as to prayer?
MOst dear and worthy Friend, I willingly own the obligations you have put upon me, to God and you: And shall rejoyce to serve you, or if this may satisfie you, I shall not premise any needless Preface to what this paper offers you. Your concessions in our late Con∣ference, I shall not so much prove, as improve. The question you would be clear in being complicate, I shall take asunder, and tender you what satisfaction I may from the holy Scriptures, without the accession of humane Authors; as knowing that your faith doth not indeed, should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God: 1 Cor. 2.5.
Quest. 1. Whether we should direct our prayers only to God the Father, or may also to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost?
Answ. I affirm we may direct our Prayers to any of them, and should direct our Prayers to all these three persons, in the one most sin∣gle and undivided Godhead. To this purpose please to peruse these ensuing Propositions.
