1. In many places of Scripture (if we look to what they may bear according to their scope and the analogy of Faith) God hath commanded it, and left it on people as a duty, Isa. 44.5. One shall say, I am the Lords, Isa, 45 24. Surely shall one say in the Lord have I righteousness and strength, Jer. 3.4. Wilt thou cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my Youth. Zec. 13.9. They shall say, the Lord is my God, Hos. 2.16. Thou shalt call me Ishi; and in many places elsewhere. Now since God hath so clearly left i• on men in the Letter of the ⟨p. 201⟩Word, they may be persuaded, that it •a practice warranted and allowed by Him, and well pleasing unto Him.
