Question 120

Why doth Christ teach vs, to cal God, our father?

That presently in the verie entraunce and beginning of the praier, he might stir vp in vs such a reuerence and confidence in god, as is meete for the sonnes of god; which must bee the ground & foundatiō of our praier: to wit, that god through Christ is made our father, and will much lesse denie vnto vs those thinges, which wee aske of him with a true faith, than our earthly Parents denie vnto vs earthly things.
