A68718	A key of heaven the Lords Prayer opened, and so applied, that a Christian may learne how to pray, and to procure all things which may make for the glorie of God, and the good of himselfe, and of his neighbour : containing likewise such doctrines of faith and godlines, as may be very usefull to all that desire to live godly in Christ Iesus.

of_o sin_n be_v in_o many_o thing_n like_o man_n forgive_a of_o man_n their_o trespass_n yet_o in_o this_o it_o differ_v much_o man_n by_o a_o mere_a single_a act_n of_o mercy_n forgive_v without_o

out_o of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n have_v pardon_v a_o sinner_n without_o any_o satisfaction_n as_o to_o account_v the_o guilt_n and_o inflict_v the_o punishment_n of_o man_n sin_n upon_o another_o upon_o christ_n a_o surety_n in_o himself_o innocent_a and_o to_o accept_v of_o that_o punishment_n for_o satisfaction_n but_o god_n intend_v to_o bring_v more_o glory_n to_o his_o holy_a name_n and_o
