he_o without_o more_o a_o do_v this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n wherefore_o o_o my_o soul_n observe_v here_o first_o what_o thou_o promise_v god_n to_o observe_v forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o thou_o i_o do_v here_o therefore_o forgive_v all_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n have_v do_v i_o wrong_n if_o any_o man_n have_v intend_v i_o evil_n i_o do_v free_o and_o full_o from_o my_o heart_n forgive_v he_o and_o then_o observe_v what_o christ_n teach_v thou_o to_o observe_v seek_v all_o mean_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o neighbour_n i_o do_v here_o therefore_o desire_v forgiveness_n of_o all_o the_o world_n if_o i_o have_v do_v wrong_a to_o any_o man_n if_o i_o owe_v any_o thing_n to_o any_o man_n which_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o pay_v i_o be_o infinite_o grieve_v and_o hearty_o sorry_a and_o humble_o from_o my_o heart_n entreat_v he_o to_o forgive_v i_o and_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o thou_o have_v yet_o a_o city_n of_o refuge_n to_o fly_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o he_o confess_v thy_o sin_n and_o desire_v forgiveness_n i_o do_v here_o therefore_o prostrate_v myself_o before_o thou_o o_o god_n i_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o heynousnesse_n of_o my_o sin_n and_o i_o most_o humble_o from_o my_o heart_n entreat_v thou_o to_o forgive_v i_o this_o do_v o_o my_o soul_n thou_o may_v rise_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o take_v comfort_n and_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v my_o helper_n i_o will_v not_o fear_v 11._o what_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o i_o for_o thou_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v use_v either_o hisauthority_n to_o the_o world_n to_o make_v it_o forgive_v thou_o or_o his_o prerogative_n over_o the_o world_n and_o forgive_v thou_o himself_o but_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a this_o petition_n shall_v come_v in_o so_o late_a which_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v have_v be_v the_o first_o for_o how_o can_v we_o expect_v a_o donative_n before_o a_o pardon_n that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v give_v we_o unless_o our_o sin_n be_v first_o forgive_v we_o be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o four_o first_o petition_n be_v very_o ancient_a and_o be_v say_v of_o our_o first_o parent_n even_o in_o paradise_n and_o in_o they_o we_o alter_v nothing_o but_o the_o tune_n for_o they_o be_v to_o they_o song_n but_o be_v to_o we_o supplication_n they_o be_v to_o they_o himn_v but_o to_o we_o be_v dirge_n but_o the_o two_o latter_a be_v whole_o new_a and_o come_v but_o now_o in_o and_o therefore_o take_v their_o place_n as_o they_o come_v for_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o mere_a reparation_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n ruin_n and_o have_v both_o of_o they_o be_v altogether_o needless_a if_o they_o have_v not_o both_o of_o they_o be_v altogether_o graceless_a and_o yet_o there_o appear_v another_o reason_n for_o we_o have_v ask_v to_o hallow_v god_n name_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v and_o that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v and_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o bread_n to_o eat_v and_o now_o it_o seem_v by_o our_o ask_n for_o temporal_a thing_n which_o be_v the_o last_o care_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n that_o christ_n will_v have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o prayer_n here_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o our_o hallow_v god_n name_n be_v but_o imperfect_a his_o kingdom_n come_v to_o we_o but_o in_o part_n his_o will_n though_o it_o be_v do_v as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o be_v do_v in_o earthen_a vessel_n and_o therefore_o after_o all_o this_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n we_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o this_o at_o last_o and_o ask_v forgiveness_n or_o else_o all_o that_o go_v before_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n for_o which_o this_o prayer_n be_v intend_v and_o may_v it_o not_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o this_o petition_n come_v in_o so_o late_o and_o be_v place_v among_o the_o last_o to_o show_v that_o repentance_n come_v never_o too_o late_o so_o it_o come_v at_o last_o and_o therefore_o christ_n make_v this_o one_o of_o our_o last_o petition_n as_o wash_v the_o disciple_n foot_n be_v one_o of_o his_o last_o act_n the_o very_a emblem_n of_o this_o petition_n yet_o we_o may_v observe_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n this_o late_a repentance_n be_v for_o though_o peter_n no_o doubt_n have_v often_o say_v with_o david_n wash_v i_o thorough_o from_o my_o sin_n yet_o when_o it_o grow_v 51.2_o so_o late_o before_o christ_n come_v to_o wash_v he_o indeed_o he_o will_v have_v put_v it_o off_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o put_v he_o on_o with_o a_o extraordinary_a motion_n but_o may_v we_o not_o seem_v here_o to_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n for_o here_o be_v many_o petition_n but_o we_o can_v see_v none_o of_o ask_v for_o faith_n as_o christ_n pray_v for_o peter_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v and_o the_o apostle_n 22.32_o pray_v o_o lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n and_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o in_o this_o principal_a prayer_n we_o shall_v not_o pray_v for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a that_o all_o our_o petition_n shall_v be_v for_o work_n and_o none_o of_o they_o for_o faith_n be_v it_o for_o some_o such_o reason_n as_o moses_n have_v who_o describe_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o make_n of_o all_o creature_n yet_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o make_n of_o angel_n though_o of_o all_o creature_n the_o principal_a or_o be_v it_o that_o christ_n make_v this_o a_o prayer_n not_o a_o catechism_n 11.6_o and_o a_o prayer_n for_o the_o faithful_a not_o for_o infidel_n for_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o or_o be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v pray_v for_o faith_n but_o it_o must_v be_v needs_o either_o without_o cause_n or_o without_o effect_n and_o so_o be_v either_o needless_a or_o fruitless_a for_o if_o we_o have_v fauth_n already_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o ask_v it_o and_o if_o we_o have_v it_o not_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o ask_v it_o see_v what_o we_o ask_v not_o in_o faith_n st._n james_n tell_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o obtain_v and_o if_o we_o ask_v it_o in_o faith_n we_o then_o have_v faith_n to_o ask_v it_o before_o we_o ask_v it_o but_o will_v it_o not_o be_v better_a not_o to_o look_v out_o reason_n why_o we_o do_v not_o ask_v it_o but_o rather_o to_o show_v reason_n that_o we_o do_v ask_v it_o and_o ask_v it_o we_o do_v indeed_o not_o verbal_o but_o real_o for_o do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o hallow_n of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v hallow_v but_o by_o the_o tongue_n of_o faith_n the_o name_n of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o come_n of_o that_o which_o can_v come_v but_o upon_o the_o foot_n of_o faith_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o faith_n the_o will_v of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o have_v of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v have_v but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n forgiveness_n of_o our_o fin_n certain_o see_v we_o pray_v for_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n for_o the_o root_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n of_o name_v faith_n that_o can_v be_v a_o reason_n to_o make_v we_o doubt_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o for_o faith_n no_o more_o than_o the_o want_n of_o name_v christ_n in_o this_o prayer_n be_v any_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o here_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v proper_a to_o this_o petition_n that_o where_o all_o the_o other_o be_v absolute_a this_o only_a be_v conditional_a and_o where_o the_o other_o be_v only_o contemplative_a this_o be_v both_o contemplative_a and_o active_a for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v as_o well_o as_o to_o be_v lay_v and_o where_o all_o the_o other_o petition_n look_v god_n in_o the_o face_n and_o expect_v to_o receive_v something_o at_o his_o hand_n this_o only_a with_o the_o publican_n presume_v not_o to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n neither_o aspire_v to_o taste_v of_o
