A brief EXPOSITION OF THE LORDS PRAYER.
A briefe EXPOSITION OF THE LORDS PRAYER.
IN the Prayer are three things observable.
1. The Preface, Our Father. 2. The Prayer it self, divided into six petitions. 3. The conclusion of faith in the word Amen. The soul goes up to heaven, and follows the petition, hallowed be thy name, let it be Lord as thou mayst have glory. Look as a man that darts an Arrow, he puts the utmost of his strength unto it: So the word Amen speeds all the rest, speeds all and brings a good issue to the soul by all.
