THE

CONTENTS.

SERMON I

Of PRAYER in general.

MATT. VI. v, vi, vii, viii.

And when thou prayeft, thou shalt not be as

the Hypocrites are: for they love to pray

Standing in the Synagogues, and in the

Corners of the Streets, that they may be

feen of Men. Verily I fay unto you, they

have their Reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy

Clofet, and when thou hast shut the Door,

pray to thy Father which is in fecret, and

thy Father which feeth in fecret, fhall re-

ward thee openly.

• But when ye pray, ufe not vain Repetitions,

as the Heathen do: for they think they

fhall be heard for their much speaking.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your

Father knoweth what Things ye have need

of before ye ask him.
