This prayer was dictated by Christ, and for this reason ought chiefly by all Christians to be had in esteem, as coming from him that was the wisdom of God it self, which therefore both knew well all our necessities, & knew also most perfectly, what the will of God is towards us: And it was dictated, that it might be an example or pattern of all Prayers, that we ought to use; not that we should be bound up to this very frame and form of words; however it may also be freely used by us: For we read not that this very form of words was used by the Apostles, though otherwayes divers Prayers of theirs are mentioned as well in the Acts as in their Epistles. This Prayer is made up of certain Petitions, whereunto are adjoined a foregoing Preface, and a following Conclusion. The Preface is in these words; Our Father which art in Haven.
