A practical exposition of the Lord's-Prayer

First; For Repetitions:

1. When they express Fervency and Zeal, they may be used: And so we read, Christ prayed over the same Prayer thrice; Mat: 26. 44. O my Father, if it be possible, let this Cup pass from me. And another Evangelist showeth, that he did this ⟨p. 45⟩out of special Fervency of Spirit; Luk. 22. 44. Being in an Agony, he prayed more earnestly. And so we read of the Prophet Daniel, chap. 9. 17, 18, 19. O our God, hear the Prayer of thy Servant; O my God, incline thine Ear, and hear; O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not for thine own sake, O my God. All this was out of vehemency; he goes over again and again the same Request. When we use many Words of the same kind and signification, and it be out of vehemency and fervency of Spirit, it is not forbidden.
