THE ARGVMENT.

The preface of the Lords prayer, and the exposition thereof.

Why doth Christ commande vs after this maner to call vpon God: Our Father.

That even in the very entrance of prayer, he may stir vppe in vs a reuerence, and trust in God, conuenient for the children of God, which ought to be the ground-work of our prayer: to wit, that God for Christes sake is become our Father, & will much lesse denie vnto vs those thinges, that wee ask of him by a true fayth, then our Parents denie vs earthlie benefites.a
