though_o they_o live_v loose_o and_o profane_o after_o but_o this_o be_v to_o build_v up_o their_o comfort_n upon_o a_o safe_a ground_n because_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v a_o man_n may_v shed_v tear_n for_o sin_n and_o yet_o not_o repent_v it_o so_o that_o tear_n be_v not_o always_o the_o true_a companion_n of_o true_a repentance_n object_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o who_o be_v

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 iâ—_n god_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o glory_n

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

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

therefore_o it_o must_v be_v our_o care_n to_o take_v repentance_n when_o god_n proffer_v it_o and_o will_v it_o look_v in_o the_o story_n of_o esau._n heb._n 12._o 17._o he_o be_o refuse_v it_o and_o

obligatio_fw-la our_o bond_n be_v the_o great_a for_o the_o more_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n god_n show_v we_o in_o the_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v always_o the_o more_o cause_n to_o be_v abase_v and_o ashamed_a that_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o this_o as_o we_o see_v make_v a_o exaggeration_n in_o david_n grief_n in_o to_o solum_fw-la peccavi_fw-la i_o have_v 51._o sin_v against_o thou_o alone_o what_o have_v david_n sin_v against_o none_o but_o god_n no_o question_n against_o uriah_n barsheba_n and_o the_o people_n but_o that_o go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o he_o most_o of_o all_o and_o do_v more_o deep_o touch_v he_o that_o he_o have_v give_v god_n cause_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o who_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o forgive_v he_o that_o have_v show_v he_o so_o great_a kindness_n and_o mercy_n in_o the_o pardon_v and_o forgive_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n so_o god_n mercy_n to_o we_o in_o pardon_v our_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o abate_v our_o repentance_n but_o rather_o to_o augment_v and_o increase_v it_o because_o there_o remain_v in_o we_o still_o the_o same_o seed_n of_o ouglinesse_n vileness_n deformity_n and_o corruption_n as_o

praise_v the_o lord_n and_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n who_o forgive_v thou_o all_o thy_o sin_n etc._n etc._n thus_o god_n mercy_n in_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n shall_v not_o abate_v but_o increase_v our_o repentance_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n luke_n 15._o 20._o he_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o confess_v prodigal_n his_o sin_n when_o he_o return_v to_o his_o father_n his_o father_n can_v not_o contain_v himself_o for_o joy_n but_o run_v out_o to_o meet_v and_o embrace_v he_o yet_o this_o make_v he_o not_o slack_v in_o his_o former_a determination_n to_o humble_v himself_o but_o rather_o spur_n he_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o humble_v himself_o unto_o his_o father_n confess_v his_o fault_n so_o god_n readiness_n to_o forgive_v we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o abate_v our_o repentance_n that_o it_o shall_v rather_o provoke_v we_o unto_o the_o same_o so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o increase_v it_o if_o a_o woman_n shall_v commit_v wickedness_n adulterer_n and_o folly_n against_o her_o husband_n who_o put_v she_o away_o for_o it_o and_o afterward_o shall_v be_v bend_v not_o only_o to_o receive_v she_o and_o forgive_v

be_v with_o god_n readiness_n in_o pardon_v our_o sin_n it_o can_v choose_v but_o make_v we_o the_o more_o ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o repent_v and_o be_v sorry_a that_o we_o have_v offend_v so_o good_a and_o gracious_a a_o god_n second_o though_o a_o man_n sin_n be_v pardon_v upon_o his_o repentance_n yet_o the_o more_o a_o man_n repent_v the_o more_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o for_o a_o man_n may_v have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v before_o god_n and_o yet_o have_v no_o sense_n and_o feel_n in_o his_o own_o

the_o unjust_a now_o if_o all_o thing_n fall_v alike_o in_o their_o life_n then_o may_v some_o man_n say_v it_o may_v be_v also_o alike_o in_o their_o death_n and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o by_o and_o by_o condemn_v a_o man_n that_o show_v little_a comfort_n at_o his_o death_n note_n but_o if_o his_o life_n have_v be_v good_a he_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n show_v sign_n of_o his_o

for_o all_o and_o 1._o the_o least_o sin_n and_o because_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o their_o sin_n unto_o they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v nothing_o which_o shall_v impeach_v their_o salvation_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v well_o we_o have_v see_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o he_o we_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o to_o condemn_v he_o though_o he_o express_v and_o feel_v small_a or_o no_o comfort_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v comfort_n now_o there_o be_v three_o cause_n why_o the_o people_n of_o god_n or_o a_o particular_a christian_a may_v die_v with_o little_a or_o no_o comfort_n feel_v of_o god_n favour_n and_o yet_o have_v true_o repent_v 1._o the_o cause_n may_v be_v in_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v either_o by_o reason_n of_o 1._o the_o

these_o be_v the_o three_o cause_n why_o many_o of_o god_n people_n find_v little_a comfort_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n first_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o complexion_n for_o grace_n do_v never_o abolish_v nature_n but_o only_a temper_n and_o mortify_v it_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o grace_n be_v to_o abolish_v sinful_a affection_n in_o man_n but_o natural_a affection_n it_o abolish_v not_o only_a order_n and_o keep_v they_o within_o bound_n and_o measure_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o two_o cow_n who_o carry_v the_o ark_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a affection_n ark_n in_o they_o which_o

of_o death_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v choleric_a by_o nature_n if_o former_o he_o have_v be_v hasty_a and_o rash_a this_o man_n though_o a_o sanctify_a man_n and_o the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n

so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v of_o a_o melancholy_n disposition_n of_o a_o sad_a speech_n or_o few_o word_n in_o his_o life_n though_o excellent_a in_o grace_n this_o man_n if_o not_o overmaster_v

the_o day_n of_o death_n when_o yet_o this_o comfort_n may_v be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o of_o mere_a nature_n thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n distrust_v himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o
