What doth the preface of the Lord’s prayer teach us?

The preface of the Lord’s prayer (contained in these words, Our Father which art in heaven,)^[1] teacheth us, when we pray, to draw near to God with confidence of his fatherly goodness, and our interest therein;^[2] with reverence, and all other childlike dispositions,^[3] heavenly affections,^[4] and due apprehensions of his sovereign power, majesty, and gracious condescension:^[5] as also, to pray with and for others.^[6]
