II. By this title we may see▪ in what order we must direct our p•a• errs1 unto God: for as the word of God revealeth God unto us, so must we pray unto him; now the Scripture revealeth God unto us, to be one in essence and three in person, viz. the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost; whereof the Father is first, the Son is the second, the holy Ghost the third in order, though no• in time o• greatness. Thus and no otherwaies must we conceive of God, neither severing the Godhead from the persons▪ nor the persons from the Godhead. And thus also must we worship him, even one God in three persons, and three persons in one God. And yet seeing the Father is first in order, the Son the second, and the holy Ghost the third, therefore when we pray to God, we must observe this order, directing our prayers to God the Father, in the mediation of the Son, by the assistance of the holy Ghost, as Christ here teacheth us to say, Our father.
