Qu. How should God's Children Pray, according to those Directions given in the Lord's Prayer?
Ans. From the Preface, Our Father which art in Heaven; we learn to draw near to God with holy Reverence, as Children to a Father, able and ready to help us; and that we ought to Pray for all God's Children likewise; 'tis not said, O Father, nor my Father, but Our Father; we must bear all the Saints upon our Hearts when we Pray, Psal 64.1.
