I. This title Father, here given to God, teacheth us to whom we1 must direct our prayers; not to Saints or Angels, or any other creatures, but to God alone. Reasons. I. This is a perfect pattern of true prayer, wanting no direction for the right performance of this part of Gods worship; now this directs us only unto God in prayer. II. God only is the author and giver of all good things, Jam. 1. 16. and therefore we must ask them of him alone. III. The Lord only who is infinite and omni potent can hear all mens prayers at all times, ⟨p. 254⟩and in all places: and therefore he alone is to be prayed unto, and not Saints departed, as the Papists teach.
