Further, as our Lord Jesus doth not teach us by his doctrine, to address our prayers to any other than to God his father,¹ even so we can not assure our selves by true faith, that he is our father, & that he will hear us as his children, but only by the mean of Jesus Christ, his well beloved son. For it is only he, by whom we are made the children of God, by his only grace, where as of our own nature we are the children of wrath: for that same cause we have access to the Father, by the same very mean, as by our true Mediator & advocate, through whom it must come to pass that we and our prayers may be agreeable to God the father.

FVrther, as our Lorde Iesus dothe not teache vs by his doctrine, to adresse our prayers to any other than to God his father,¹ euen so we can not assure our selues by true faith, yt he is our father, & that he wil hear vs as his children, but only by ye meane of Iesus Christe, his well beloued son. For it is only he, by whō we ar made ye children of God, by his only grace, wher as of our own nature we are the children of wrath: for that same cause we haue accesse to the Father, by ye same very mean, as by our true Mediator & aduocate, thorow whom it must come to passe that we and our prayers may be agreeable to God the father.
