righteousness_n through_o who_o alone_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v six_o and_o last_o we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v be_v bring_v over_o to_o close_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n that_o his_o righteousness_n thereby_o may_v be_v make_v we_o and_o we_o by_o that_o righteousness_n may_v obtain_v pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o a_o inheritance_n among_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v for_o though_o pardon_v be_v procure_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n yet_o the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o the_o soul_n be_v only_o by_o faith_n unite_n we_o unto_o he_o and_o make_v we_o one_o with_o he_o for_o all_o that_o christ_n have_v either_o do_v or_o suffer_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v altogether_o in_o vain_a as_o to_o our_o particular_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n be_v it_o not_o that_o faith_n entitle_v we_o unto_o it_o and_o make_v that_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o divine_a justice_n to_o be_v mystical_o our_o act_n as_o it_o be_v personal_o he_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o petition_n itself_o forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o condition_n or_o plea_n annex_v as_o we_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n and_o here_o we_o have_v first_o the_o act_n forgive_v second_o the_o object_n debtor_n three_o the_o limitation_n of_o this_o object_n our_o debtor_n four_o the_o proportion_n or_o resemblance_n in_o the_o particle_n as_o as_o we_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o object_n debtor_n as_o all_o man_n stand_v indebt_v to_o god_n in_o a_o twofold_n debt_n a_o debt_n of_o obedience_n and_o a_o debt_n of_o punishment_n so_o one_o man_n may_v be_v a_o debtor_n to_o another_o two_o way_n either_o by_o owe_v to_o he_o a_o debt_n of_o duty_n or_o else_o a_o debt_n of_o satisfaction_n first_o some_o man_n stand_v indebt_v to_o other_o in_o a_o debt_n of_o duty_n and_o indeed_o i_o may_v well_o have_v say_v this_o debt_n be_v reciprocal_a between_o man_n and_o man._n thus_o child_n owe_v parent_n reverence_n and_o obedience_n and_o parent_n their_o child_n provision_n and_o education_n subject_n owe_v their_o magistrate_n honour_n and_o tribute_n and_o magistrate_n owe_v their_o subject_n justice_n and_o protection_n servant_n owe_v their_o master_n fear_v diligence_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o master_n owe_v their_o servant_n maintenance_n and_o encouragement_n and_o general_o all_o man_n owe_v one_o another_o love_n respect_n and_o kindness_n now_o these_o debt_n can_v balance_v one_o another_o that_o as_o much_o as_o be_v leave_v unpaid_a i_o by_o any_o person_n so_o much_o again_o i_o may_v refuse_v to_o pay_v he_o if_o a_o father_n pay_v not_o his_o debt_n to_o his_o child_n or_o a_o magistrate_n to_o his_o subject_n or_o a_o master_n to_o his_o servant_n they_o be_v not_o hereby_o acquit_v of_o their_o obligation_n but_o still_o duty_n obedience_n and_o faithfulness_n be_v require_v from_o inferior_n to_o their_o superior_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a love_n protection_n and_o maintenance_n be_v require_v from_o superior_n to_o their_o inferior_n although_o peccant_a as_o long_o as_o the_o relation_n shall_v continue_v between_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o these_o duty_n not_o only_o by_o the_o obligation_n that_o mutual_a office_n lay_v upon_o we_o but_o by_o god_n express_a will_n and_o command_n and_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o relation_n that_o be_v betwixt_o we_o and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o two_o person_n that_o owe_v one_o another_o a_o equal_a debt_n of_o money_n or_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n to_o cross_v out_o one_o debt_n by_o the_o other_o and_o so_o discount_n it_o betweem_v they_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o where_o the_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v be_v the_o debt_n they_o owe_v to_o each_o other_o for_o although_o other_o may_v fail_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o what_o belong_v to_o their_o part_n yet_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o fail_v in_o thou_o for_o thus_o to_o be_v even_o with_o man_n be_v to_o run_v in_o debt_n with_o god_n and_o to_o make_v he_o thy_o creditor_n who_o will_v certain_o be_v thy_o revenger_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o debt_n that_o we_o be_v to_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n for_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o release_v they_o from_o their_o obligation_n to_o duty_n whilst_o the_o relation_n between_o we_o continue_v no_o more_o than_o we_o have_v to_o rescind_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o nature_n second_o some_o man_n may_v stand_v indebt_v to_o other_o in_o a_o debt_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o they_o owe_v they_o reparation_n on_o good_a ground_n for_o wrong_n and_o injury_n do_v against_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o debt_n which_o we_o be_v to_o forgive_v other_o now_o as_o wrong_n and_o injury_n be_v of_o divers_a sort_n so_o many_o divers_a way_n may_v other_o become_v debtor_n to_o we_o and_o they_o be_v chief_o these_o six_o that_o follow_v first_o by_o wrong_v we_o in_o our_o person_n either_o by_o unjust_a violence_n or_o by_o unjust_a

authority_n of_o those_o that_o be_v set_v over_o they_o become_v their_o debtor_n thus_o aaron_n and_o miriam_n be_v debtor_n unto_o moses_n for_o traduce_v the_o authority_n that_o god_n have_v commit_v unto_o he_o numb_a 12.2_o three_o by_o wrong_v we_o in_o our_o friend_n and_o relation_n either_o by_o corrupt_v they_o thus_o sechem_n become_v a_o debtor_n to_o jacob_n and_o his_o son_n
