heaven_n even_o so_o shall_v we_o serve_v thou_o in_o earth_n with_o all_o alacrity_n and_o willingness_n in_o all_o humility_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o howsoever_o no_o christian_a can_v perform_v such_o obedience_n in_o this_o life_n yet_o this_o petition_n teach_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o desire_n so_o to_o do_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n we_o learn_v three_o profitable_a lesson_n first_o that_o god_n ought_v to_o reign_v here_o in_o our_o heart_n on_o earth_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v in_o heaven_n but_o see_v it_o be_v not_o so_o how_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v humble_v and_o cast_v down_o in_o ourselves_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o disobedient_a we_o have_v be_v to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n second_o it_o ought_v to_o move_v we_o to_o all_o possible_a thankfulness_n for_o our_o redemption_n when_o we_o consider_v this_o example_n of_o the_o angel_n who_o be_v but_o once_o create_v but_o we_o miserable_a sinner_n put_v god_n to_o a_o new_a work_n to_o redeem_v we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o own_o son_n last_o it_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n god_n more_o than_o the_o angel_n in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v put_v he_o to_o a_o great_a business_n and_o have_v receive_v great_a mercy_n than_o they_o and_o they_o which_o have_v much_o forgive_v they_o ought_v to_o 7._o luke_n 7._o love_n much_o application_n behold_v thy_o duty_n o_o man_n consider_v but_o the_o angel_n the_o scripture_n describe_v they_o to_o have_v six_o wing_n two_o to_o cover_v their_o face_n by_o which_o they_o signify_v to_o we_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o god_n counsel_n they_o have_v two_o also_o to_o cover_v their_o foot_n show_v their_o own_o insufficiency_n and_o unworthynesse_n to_o serve_v so_o glorious_a a_o god_n yet_o have_v they_o two_o wing_n also_o about_o their_o hart_n to_o signify_v unto_o we_o that_o with_o hearty_a obedience_n they_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n therefore_o o_o sinful_a man_n look_v to_o the_o heaven_n and_o behold_v the_o angel_n look_v into_o the_o firmament_n behold_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n &_o the_o star_n yea_o in_o the_o earth_n also_o behold_v time_n and_o season_n all_o these_o obey_v god_n will_n therefore_o o_o mankind_n for_o who_o sake_n these_o be_v create_v and_o for_o who_o sake_n god_n equal_a to_o the_o father_n think_v it_o no_o scorn_n to_o take_v unto_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o to_o be_v our_o brother_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o he_o may_v condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n

continual_a or_o daily_o bread_n i_o gather_v these_o lesson_n 1._o first_o that_o none_o must_v ask_v riches_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n to_o satisfy_v the_o
in_o command_v he_o to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n second_o by_o sarahs_n conception_n who_o be_v past_a age_n and_o be_v as_o dead_a in_o regard_n of_o strength_n of_o nature_n and_o three_o god_n tempt_v he_o in_o offer_v up_o his_o only_a son_n isaac_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v therefore_o be_v abram_n call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a in_o the_o former_a petition_n we_o beg_v pardon_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o here_o we_o crave_v god_n grace_n to_o resist_v sin_n to_o come_v and_o sure_o if_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o how_o prone_a we_o be_v to_o fall_v we_o shall_v see_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o crave_v of_o god_n that_o we_o come_v not_o into_o temptation_n for_o that_o satan_n intend_v evil_a towards_o we_o and_o sure_o as_o s._n james_n say_v god_n temt_v none_o to_o evil_a but_o man_n be_v either_o tempt_v by_o his_o lust_n as_o the_o apostle_n observe_v which_o be_v a_o voluntary_a temptation_n as_o drunkenness_n whoredom_n theft_n and_o such_o like_a be_v voluntary_a temptation_n or_o else_o by_o cruel_a tyrant_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v against_o religion_n and_o conscience_n and_o this_o be_v call_v unuoluntary_a temptation_n when_o we_o be_v compel_v by_o force_n to_o do_v against_o god_n law_n these_o temptation_n we_o be_v not_o to_o desire_v but_o if_o any_o such_o happen_v the_o apostle_n james_n will_v we_o to_o account_v it_o exceed_a joy_n and_o show_v the_o benefit_n that_o follow_v to_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o if_o god_n tempt_v or_o prove_v his_o child_n it_o be_v to_o manifest_v their_o faith_n to_o the_o world_n and_o for_o example_n to_o other_o so_o he_o tempt_v abraham_n in_o offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n also_o the_o israelite_n and_o job_n yea_o indeed_o he_o tempt_v all_o his_o child_n so_o and_o his_o only_a son_n also_o that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v much_o nor_o faint_a in_o our_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o say_v moses_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n you_o shall_v not_o fear_v because_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o tempt_v you_o for_o he_o come_v to_o tempt_v you_o to_o manifest_v what_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n but_o satan_n he_o do_v it_o to_o a_o evil_a end_n yea_o ever_o when_o he_o tempt_v it_o be_v not_o for_o conversion_n but_o subversion_n of_o the_o party_n he_o tempt_v and_o this_o be_v evident_a through_o all_o the_o bible_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o those_o which_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o temptation_n nor_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n o_o god_n deliver_v we_o from_o that_o evil_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o sixth_o petition_n but_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a that_o be_v say_v old_a and_o new_a writer_n from_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o very_a fountain_n of_o evil_a thus_o we_o pray_v not_o simple_o against_o temptation_n but_o against_o the_o evil_a of_o temptation_n for_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n be_v tempt_v with_o three_o capital_a &_o great_a temptation_n such_o as_o few_o of_o the_o best_a member_n do_v withstand_v and_o what_o be_v they_o theophilact_n tell_v thou_o they_o be_v avaritia_fw-la gula_fw-la etinanis_fw-la gloria_fw-la covetousness_n gluttony_n and_o vain_a glory_n consider_v therefore_o he_o that_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n yea_o think_v it_o no_o robbery_n to_o be_v so_o yet_o for_o thy_o sake_n he_o take_v to_o he_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o even_o be_v buffet_v of_o satan_n that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o strengthen_v those_o that_o be_v tempt_v be_v not_o all_o for_o thy_o sake_n o_o unthankful_a 2._o heb._n 2._o mankind_n

thou_o be_v able_a but_o in_o all_o our_o temptation_n he_o will_v give_v we_o a_o happy_a issue_n which_o god_n grant_v unto_o we_o amen_o the_o conclusion_n for_o thou_o be_v that_o kingdom_n the_o

therein_o why_o therefore_o say_v you_o that_o kingdom_n answer_n sure_o god_n rule_v all_o kingdom_n indeed_o &_o preserve_v bad_a to_o from_o outward_a danger_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o dan._n ch_z 5._o also_o ester_n ch_z 16._o 16._o but_o here_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n by_o which_o god_n rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o childre●_n after_o a_o more_o peculiar_a

terrible_a which_o accept_v no_o person_n nor_o take_v reward_n and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n because_o all_o power_n be_v he_o and_o he_o only_o able_a to_o help_v us._n in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o he_o be_v our_o king_n he_o will_n our_o good_a &_o as_o he_o be_v of_o power_n he_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v what_o himself_o please_v therefore_o be_v we_o to_o pray_v to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v preserve_v we_o &_o keep_v we_o read_v num._n cha_n 6._o 24._o but_o alas_o how_o often_o have_v god_n manife_v his_o power_n to_o
