so_o certain_o if_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o god_n be_v any_o where_o but_o that_o he_o be_v every_o where_o we_o may_v easy_o fall_v into_o the_o error_n to_o think_v he_o be_v no_o where_o just_o therefore_o do_v god_n write_v himself_o of_o heaven_n now_o that_o he_o style_v himself_o our_o father_n see_v he_o therefore_o make_v heaven_n because_o he_o intend_v to_o be_v our_o father_n that_o

which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o say_v not_o rather_o our_o heavenly_a father_n see_v by_o that_o we_o tell_v only_o where_o god_n be_v but_o by_o this_o we_o may_v tell_v what_o he_o be_v by_o that_o

take_v it_o again_o but_o if_o we_o shall_v place_v our_o petition_n first_o it_o may_v seem_v as_o if_o we_o do_v capitulate_v with_o god_n and_o make_v not_o our_o submission_n but_o upon_o

ourselves_o and_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o weakness_n and_o therefore_o can_v feel_v nothing_o but_o doubtfulness_n and_o fearc_n but_o in_o the_o second_o we_o look_v upon_o god_n and_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o can_v feel_v nothing_o but_o hope_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o first_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a hate_n and_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n over_o we_o and_o this_o make_v we_o fearful_a in_o the_o second_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o and_o his_o great_a power_n over_o the_o devil_n and_o this_o make_v we_o confident_a in_o the_o first_o we_o consider_v the_o law_n and_o what_o be_v threaten_v to_o transgressor_n and_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_v in_o the_o second_o we_o consider_v the_o gospel_n and_o what_o be_v promise_v to_o believer_n and_o have_v cause_n 3.24_o to_o hope_v thus_o the_o law_n send_v we_o to_o christ_n our_o own_o weakness_n to_o seek_v for_o succour_n the_o tempter_n to_o look_v out_o a_o deliverer_n consider_v then_o o_o my_o soul_n what_o happiness_n it_o be_v to_o thou_o that_o though_o the_o law_n kill_v yet_o christ_n quicken_v though_o the_o ●esh_n be_v weak_a yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a though_o thou_o have_v a_o devil_n for_o thy_o tempter_n yet_o thou_o have_v god_n for_o thy_o deliverer_n and_o may_v we_o not_o take_v comfort_n to_o think_v how_o fit_o our_o temptation_n and_o our_o deliverance_n be_v place_v in_o one_o petition_n together_o lest_o if_o they_o be_v put_v into_o two_o petition_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v too_o far_o

it_o may_v seem_v a_o strange_a prayer_n of_o david_n to_o 37._o say_v averte_fw-fr oculos_fw-la ●e_n videant_fw-la vanitatem_fw-la turn_v away_o my_o eye_n from_o see_v vanity_n as_o though_o god_n

we_o delight_v to_o look_v upon_o and_o what_o we_o love_v we_o love_v to_o be_v see_v and_o so_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o our_o eye_n may_v not_o see_v vanity_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o pray_v for_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o love_n with_o vanity_n for_o indeed_o vanity_n have_v of_o itself_o so_o graceful_a a_o aspect_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o natural_a man_n to_o leave_v

and_o as_o david_n here_o make_v his_o prayer_n in_o the_o particular_a against_o temptation_n of_o prosperity_n so_o ch●ist_n teach_v we_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n in_o the_o general_a against_o the_o temptation_n both_o of_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n and_o very_o just_o for_o many_o can_v bear_v the_o temptation_n of_o one_o kind_n who_o be_v quick_o overcome_v by_o temptation_n of_o the_o other_o kind_n so_o david_n can_v bear_v persecution_n without_o murmur_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o prosperity_n he_o can_v not_o turn_v away_o his_o eye_n from_o vanity_n in_o his_o cross_n he_o can_v say_v examine_v i_o o_o god_n 2_o and_o try_v i_o tudge_n i_o according_a to_o my_o integrity_n but_o in_o his_o prosperity_n he_o be_v glad_a to_o say_v there_o 31.3.51_o be_v no_o

in_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o why_o then_o will_v god_n lay_v such_o cross_n upon_o a_o righteous_a man_n for_o trial_n of_o that_o which_o he_o know_v already_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o

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
