Thomas Hooker on "The Lord's Prayer"

www.monergism.com has posted the following at:

http://www.monergism.com/updates/exposition_of_the_lords_prayer.php

It is written by Thomas Hooker, an anti-Anglican Puritan and American colonialist. This sectarian puritan had a falling out with some in Massachusetts. He left for Connecticut. Educated at Cambridge, he opposed the old Prayer Book. Nevertheless, we keep the good and toss the bad. Here are worthy thoughts, despite Hooker’s aberrancies in other issues.
