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.
Quest. What are we taught to Pray for in the first Petition?
Ans. In these words, Hallowed be thy Name, we are taught to glorify God in all his Attributes, or howsoever else he is made known to us and that every thing may ten• to his own Glory, and to seek his Glory before our own good.
