this_o i_o take_v brief_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o petition_n hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n that_o be_v lord_n that_o thy_o name_n may_v be_v holy_a in_o the_o heart_n and_o

what_o be_v the_o special_a grace_n we_o pray_v for_o the_o order_n be_v such_o that_o the_o first_o thing_n pray_v for_o i●_n god_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o glory_n and_o honour_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o must_v all_o care_n for_o that_o god_n may_v have_v his_o honour_n may_v be_v respect_v regard_v love_v fear_a etc._n etc._n whatsoever_o become_v of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o two_o thing_n lesson_n 1_o first_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o we_o must_v more_o desire_v then_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o must_v be_v content_v to_o let_v all_o go_v for_o it_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o it_o whatsoever_o become_v of_o we_o howsoever_o despit_v &_o abuse_v yet_o if_o god_n have_v his_o glory_n be_v esteem_v and_o regard_v it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o see_v we_o be_v here_o teach_v to_o begin_v all_o our_o prayer_n with_o the_o desire_n of_o this_o before_o we_o pray_v for_o daily_a bread_n yea_o any_o thing_n else_o belong_v to_o ourselves_o yea_o as_o one_o say_v before_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n we_o pray_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o can_v redeem_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n with_o loss_n i_o say_v not_o of_o our_o own_o life_n only_o but_o our_o own_o soul_n we_o must_v be_v content_v i_o can_v wish_v myself_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o christ_n for_o my_o brethren_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o 3._o shall_v say_v if_o god_n may_v have_v any_o glory_n by_o it_o than_o i_o can_v be_v content_v to_o redeem_v his_o glory_n with_o my_o life_n nay_o lose_v my_o part_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n as_o moses_n wish_v rather_o than_o god_n shall_v be_v dishonour_v to_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o book_n 32._o lesson_n 2_o second_o that_o we_o must_v prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o what_o end_n we_o seek_v labour_n for_o plead_v for_o desire_n or_o travel_v for_o we_o must_v remember_v in_o all_o to_o prefer_v god_n above_o all_o so_o that_o howsoever_o we_o can_v be_v patient_a and_o quiet_a in_o other_o case_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o case_n of_o god_n glory_n than_o we_o must_v begin_v to_o rouse_v and_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o so_o as_o to_o have_v all_o our_o affection_n inflame_v in_o we_o as_o eliah_n 1_o king_n 19_o 14._o 14._o so_o to_o say_v to_o ourselves_o i_o have_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o host_n so_o do_v hezekiah_n when_o sennacherib_n have_v 34._o send_v he_o a_o rail_a letter_n he_o go_v and_o open_v it_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o that_o which_o more_o touch_v he_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v dishonour_v then_o when_o his_o kingdom_n and_o life_n be_v threaten_v so_o christ_n himself_o that_o patient_o hear_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o devil_n temptation_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o take_v the_o honour_n from_o the_o lord_n then_o christ_n begin_v to_o rouse_v up_o himself_o and_o chide_v he_o avoid_v satan_n 10._o it_o be_v write_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v thus_o even_o against_o the_o mighty_a we_o must_v stand_v out_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n how_o lamentable_a a_o thing_n than_o be_v it_o for_o wicked_a man_n who_o can_v let_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v tread_v under_o foot_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v despise_v dishonour_a and_o blaspheme_v from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o yet_o let_v it_o pass_v as_o a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o o_o how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v this_o another_o day_n or_o give_v a_o account_n for_o it_o when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n we_o see_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o scripture_n god_n be_v always_o more_o ready_a to_o stir_v in_o our_o cause_n when_o the_o matter_n concern_v we_o then_o when_o it_o concern_v himself_o so_o deal_v he_o by_o cain_n the_o lord_n let_v he_o go_v for_o the_o 7._o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v to_o himself_o for_o his_o bad_a sacrifice_n for_o his_o hypocritical_a worship_n but_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o malign_v his_o brother_n than_o say_v god_n unto_o he_o what_o have_v thou_o do_v the_o voice_n of_o thy_o brother_n blood_n cry_v unto_o i_o from_o the_o ground_n so_o deal_v the_o lord_n by_o pharaoh_n he_o 7._o be_v content_v to_o put_v up_o all_o the_o injury_n against_o himself_o his_o idolatry_n his_o blasphemy_n and_o such_o like_a but_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o stir_v once_o against_o the_o church_n and_o the_o lord_n people_n than_o the_o lord_n oppose_v he_o and_o when_o he_o will_v not_o desist_v from_o his_o cruelty_n at_o the_o last_o he_o drown_v he_o and_o all_o his_o host_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n now_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v thus_o ready_a to_o show_v himself_o and_o stir_v in_o our_o cause_n than_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v much_o more_o ready_a and_o rouse_v up_o ourselves_o to_o stir_v in_o he_o against_o all_o opposition_n whatsoever_o corruption_n the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a in_o this_o petition_n be_v the_o discover_n of_o our_o corruption_n
