The use of the Lords prayer.
The vse of the Lords prayer.
The principal use of this prayer is, to be a pattern and direction whereby the Church of God, and every member of it, may frame their prayers to God on any occasion. And because many through ignorance fail in this point, therefore I will stand somewhat to show, how the ⟨p. 322⟩Lords prayer must be made a pattern to our prayers. For this end we must apply the several petitions of this prayer, both to the special1 times of prayer, as morning and evening; and also to the special occasions whereupon we pray: which may be reduced to some of these three, to wit: 1. some weighty business we have in hand: 2. some affliction we are in, or in danger of: 3. or in regard of death.
