For in their Offices which are very ancient, we find God invoked by the name of Father, particularly in that solemn Prayer, which is stiled (because it contains Eighteen small prayers) NONLATINALPHABET and mention whereof is made in the Mishna [ tractat. de Benedictionibus NONLATINALPHABET cap. 4. 3. Ramban Gamaliel dicit quâlibet die orare debet quisquam octodecem preces ] one of those prayers beginneth NONLATINALPHABET fac nos revertere Pater noster ad legem tuam. Turn us our Father unto thy Law. Another Prayer for the blessing of the season of the year, which particularly is cited in the Misna in the same tract. cap. 5. 2. beginneth NONLATINALPHABET Bless us, our Father, in all the works of our hands. In the days appointed for penitence which are 10 days, and to some 40 before the day of atonement, there are many prayers, which begin NONLATINALPHABET our Father, our King. But though this title of Father be now found in the Prayers of the Jewes, yet it is very probable that they being under a servile dispensation very rarely presumed to address themselves unto God by that familiar appellation, till they saw that the Christians, who reproached them as bondmen to the law, came with such freedom to the throne of Grace.

In the 9. p. of the praes. the Author saith that he saw the sky open, and heard a voice which said to him, that neither he, nor his should ever want: which cannot be true, for his son went a begging, see p. 41. of the book. In the 10. pag. God assured him that he should have a safe voyage into Ireland, and convert many souls there, see p. 41. Once when he prayed for a sick person in another land, he had an assurance of the parties recovery, by an audible voice, and a glorious brightness which shined round about him, ib.

Once praying in imitation of Abrahams intercession for Sodom, as he kneeled against a post in the room, he saw a great shining light about him, and perfectly heard a voice saying, The Nations shall be spared for ten thousand righteous sake, p. 56.

He told one John Steward of Aire, who came to visit him in prison, that the Plague of God was broken out in that place, and bid him hasten home, and cause Heugh Kennedy Provost of that town, to convene the people in the streets, and pray together, and the Lord should hear Heugh Kennedy and remove that stroke. Which (saith he) fell out in every thing as the man of God had foretold, ib. At the siege of St. Jane de Angeli he desired the Canonier to discharge such a piece of Cannon, assuring him, that God should direct the shot, p. 254. He astonished the King of France with a few words, and made him say, Surely, this is a man of God, p. 255.
