indeed_o to_o our_o understanding_n have_v god_n power_n in_o himself_o to_o communicate_v his_o name_n of_o father_n to_o we_o but_o only_o in_o christ_n see_v christ_n have_v in_o he_o the_o whole_a

to_o god_n with_o so_o many_o suit_n at_o once_o and_o think_v to_o speed_v in_o they_o all_o be_v it_o not_o modesty_n to_o do_v as_o david_n do_v for_o he_o make_v but_o one_o petition_n vnum_fw-la

one_o petition_n may_v well_o enough_o have_v serve_v &_o most_o of_o all_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a in_o christ_n who_o ever_o use_v rather_o substraction_n than_o multiplication_n as_o of_o ten_o commandment_n he_o make_v but_o two_o and_o now_o that_o of_o one_o petition_n he_o shall_v make_v six_o but_o o_o my_o soul_n be_v it_o far_o from_o thou_o to_o have_v such_o thought_n to_o raise_v such_o scandal_n for_o the_o commandment_n be_v duty_n and_o duty_n be_v burden_n and_o in_o abridge_n they_o he_o perform_v his_o promise_n come_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v ease_v you_o and_o well_o he_o may_v abridge_v they_o to_o we_o who_o have_v indeed_o perform_v they_o for_o we_o but_o the_o petition_n be_v grace_n and_o the_o more_o grace_n the_o more_o grace_n the_o more_o grace_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n the_o more_o grace_n we_o be_v in_o with_o god_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o only_o subtract_v burden_n but_o as_o well_o also_o multiply_v grace_n although_o in_o truth_n these_o six_o petition_n be_v all_o in_o effect_n but_o one_o petition_n that_o have_v call_v god_n our_o father_n we_o here_o desire_v to_o be_v his_o child_n but_o we_o must_v observe_v a_o difference_n in_o be_v god_n child_n and_o be_v child_n of_o man_n for_o here_o we_o be_v child_n first_o and_o afterward_o we_o do_v our_o 5.45_o duty_n but_o there_o we_o do_v at_o least_o some_o duty_n first_o and_o afterward_o we_o be_v child_n as_o it_o be_v say_v 8.14_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v power_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o though_o christ_n dilate_v it_o to_o we_o here_o in_o six_o petition_n for_o our_o understanding_n yet_o present_o after_o the_o delivery_n of_o they_o he_o seem_v to_o reduce_v they_o again_o to_o one_o petition_n where_o he_o say_v how_o much_o more_o shall_v 11.13_o your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o they_o that_o desire_v he_o for_o to_o desire_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v all_o in_o effect_n that_o we_o desire_v in_o these_o six_o petition_n which_o therefore_o some_o will_v have_v to_o be_v seven_o that_o so_o they_o may_v answer_v to_o the_o seven_o spirit_n which_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o to_o represent_v the_o holy_a 2._o ghost_n indeed_o the_o three_o last_o be_v proper_o &_o bare_a lie_n petition_n but_o the_o three_o first_o be_v as_o christ_n say_v of_o john_n baptist_n that_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o more_o than_o a_o prophet_n so_o these_o be_v petition_n &_o more_o than_o petition_n for_o they_o be_v both_o hallelujah_n and_o hosannaes_n for_o we_o glorify_v god_n by_o the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n by_o the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v our_o king_n by_o the_o three_o thathe_n be_v our_o master_n and_o they_o be_v petition_n also_o the_o first_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o obedient_a child_n the_o second_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o loy_n all_o subject_n the_o three_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o dutiful_a servant_n and_o from_o these_o three_o first_o grow_v a_o confidence_n unto_o we_o of_o obtain_v the_o three_o last_o which_o therefore_o seem_v subordinate_a to_o they_o that_o asa_fw-mi father_n he_o will_v give_v to_o we_o his_o child_n bread_n and_o sustenance_n and_o as_o a_o king_n he_o will_v grant_v to_o we_o his_o subject_n a_o pardon_n of_o our_o trespass_n &_o as_o a_o master_n he_o will_v not_o lay_v upon_o we_o his_o servant_n great_a burden_n than_o we_o can_v bear_v but_o may_v not_o this_o paraphrase_n be_v oppose_v have_v not_o this_o prayer_n a_o correspondence_n rather_o with_o the_o fall_n of_o angel_n and_o do_v it_o not_o make_v a_o resemblance_n of_o our_o condition_n to_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v cast_v down_o all_o at_o once_o and_o we_o here_o fall_v down_o by_o degree_n for_o at_o every_o petition_n we_o take_v a_o fall_n at_o the_o first_o we_o seem_v to_o set_v out_o in_o a_o high_a hand_n and_o as_o though_o we_o need_v nothing_o in_o our_o own_o behalf_n we_o ask_v all_o for_o god_n in_o the_o second_o we_o fall_v to_o ask_v for_o ourselves_o but_o yet_o no_o less_o than_o a_o kingdom_n in_o the_o three_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o the_o condition_n to_o be_v servant_n in_o the_o four_o we_o fall_v to_o the_o state_n of_o plain_a beggar_n in_o the_o five_o we_o fall_v yet_o low_a and_o come_v to_o be_v in_o debt_n in_o the_o last_o we_o fall_v to_o the_o low_a to_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o that_o under_o satan_n and_o now_o we_o be_v fall_v as_o low_a as_o the_o angel_n that_o fall_v or_o rather_o so_o much_o low_a as_o we_o be_v under_o they_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o progress_n of_o our_o condition_n in_o ourselves_o but_o christ_n our_o redcemer_n who_o have_v put_v out_o the_o hand_n write_v that_o be_v against_o

petition_n and_o make_v they_o to_o resemble_v rather_o the_o six_o day_n of_o creation_n as_o david_n say_v create_v in_o i_o o_o god_n a_o clean_a heart_n which_o be_v but_o this_o very_a prayer_n in_o a_o lesser_a volume_n 51.10_o for_o as_o every_o day_n in_o the_o creation_n have_v particular_a work_n so_o every_o petition_n in_o this_o prayer_n have_v particular_a grace_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o 18.1_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n at_o once_o yet_o the_o make_n of_o each_o creature_n be_v ascribe_v to_o some_o peculiar_a day_n so_o this_o prayer_n be_v the_o supplication_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o yet_o each_o petition_n seem_v to_o have_v some_o special_a relatiou_n to_o some_o peculiar_a member_n for_o the_o

the_o four_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o creature_n the_o five_o the_o prayer_n of_o penitent_a sinner_n the_o six_o the_o prayer_n of_o infant_n and_o now_o have_v think_v these_o petition_n to_o be_v for_o such_o most_o proper_a let_v we_o conform_v ourselves_o according_o to_o they_o when_o we_o say_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n let_v we_o lift_v up_o the_o voice_n
of_o other_o indeed_o not_o only_o charitable_o but_o most_o just_o see_v the_o trespass_n of_o other_o be_v oftentimes_o the_o trespass_n of_o our_o trespass_n for_o if_o we_o infect_v other_o by_o our_o counsel_n or_o by_o our_o example_n be_v not_o our_o trespass_n a_o cause_n of_o they_o or_o if_o they_o infect_v we_o be_v not_o their_o trespass_n a_o cause_n of_o we_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o good_a we_o get_v by_o company_n company_n the_o great_a darling_n of_o the_o world_n without_o which_o it_o be_v no_o world_n there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n john_n

in_o our_o trespass_n in_o our_o father_n other_o have_v a_o right_n in_o our_o bread_n other_o may_v claim_v a_o share_n but_o in_o our_o trespass_n none_o can_v challenge_v any_o part_n with_o we_o for_o every_o man_n must_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n 6.5_o every_o man_n must_v be_v accountable_a for_o his_o proper_a debt_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n therefore_o to_o say_v forgive_v as_o our_o

in_o hope_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o his_o forgiveness_n and_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v some_o great_a necessity_n of_o these_o word_n in_o this_o petition_n for_o when_o he_o have_v deliver_v the_o whole_a form_n of_o this_o prayer_n to_o his_o disciple_n he_o do_v not_o so_o leave_v it_o but_o make_v of_o this_o petition_n a_o repetition_n and_o nrge_v it_o
