The Lord's Prayer is short and mysterious, and, like the treasures of the Spirit, full of wisdom and latent senses: it is not improper to draw forth those excellencies which are intended and signified by every petition, that by so excellent an authority we may know what it is lawful to beg of God.
Jeremy Taylor, Charles Page Eden, Reginald Heber, Alexander Taylor (1850). “The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor ...: Life of Christ”, p.466
