everlasting_a thing_n so_o much_o talk_v off_o and_o so_o high_o magnify_v be_v they_o only_o idle_a name_n and_o be_v there_o no_o such_o thing_n indeed_o or_o be_v they_o so_o little_a worth_n the_o

by_o our_o prayer_n and_o yet_o our_o confidence_n for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n and_o for_o the_o life_n everlasting_a shall_v have_v foundation_n enough_o to_o stand_v most_o firm_a for_o the_o three_o first_o petition_n seem_v chief_o refer_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n in_o who_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v equal_a and_o therefore_o in_o they_o we_o go_v as_o i_o may_v

petition_n we_o take_v a_o step_n high_o in_o the_o first_o we_o begin_v very_o low_a and_o ask_v as_o jacob_n do_v but_o only_a meat_n and_o raiment_n in_o the_o second_o we_o take_v a_o step_n high_o and_o ask_v a_o pardon_n of_o our_o fault_n in_o the_o three_o we_o go_v yet_o high_o and_o ask_v a_o absolute_a protection_n from_o all_o danger_n and_o deliverance_n from_o all_o evil_a wherein_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v wrestle_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o obtain_v a_o blessing_n for_o this_o be_v the_o high_a step_n we_o can_v possible_o attain_v to_o in_o this_o mortal_a life_n but_o how_o do_v this_o step_n reach_v so_o high_a as_o jacob_n ladder_n which_o reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n mark_v therefore_o o_o my_o soul_n for_o have_v begin_v in_o humility_n it_o seem_v as_o if_o christ_n here_o shall_v say_v unto_o we_o friend_n sit_v up_o high_a for_o this_o step_n of_o our_o deliverance_n from_o evil_a seem_v to_o deliver_v we_o to_o heaven_n see_v it_o be_v

all_o this_o prayer_n shall_v we_o have_v for_o these_o thing_n no_o petition_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o rather_o by_o the_o participation_n of_o christ_n then_o by_o the_o

deliverance_n from_o evil_a which_o be_v the_o high_a step_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o in_o this_o world_n imply_v a_o adhere_n to_o the_o deliverer_n himself_o in_o the_o world_n where_o we_o shall_v

demand_v in_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o forgive_v our_o trespass_n what_o it_o be_v we_o mean_v for_o if_o only_o the_o trespass_n commit_v against_o god_n what_o shall_v then_o become_v of_o the_o

person_n will_v offer_v to_o make_v indeed_o if_o thou_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o trespass_n against_o thy_o neighbour_n and_o be_v not_o also_o a_o trespass_n against_o god_n thy_o

god_n for_o if_o a_o man_n steal_v it_o be_v a_o trespass_n against_o his_o neighbour_n but_o it_o be_v first_o a_o trespass_n against_o god_n because_o god_n forbid_v it_o if_o a_o man_n commit_v a_o murder_n it_o be_v a_o trespass_n against_o his_o neighbour_n but_o it_o be_v first_o a_o trespass_n against_o god_n because_o god_n forbid_v it_o but_o this_o seem_v not_o to_o remove_v the_o doubt_n for_o do_v not_o cain_n commit_v a_o trespass_n against_o abel_n when_o he_o murder_v he_o yet_o god_n have_v not_o then_o forbid_a murder_n do_v not_o rachel_n commit_v a_o trespass_n against_o

table_n of_o stone_n but_o they_o be_v notwithstanding_o forbid_v by_o the_o natural_a law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o our_o heart_n but_o this_o do_v not_o yet_o remove_v the_o doubt_n neither_o for_o see_v there_o be_v some_o trespass_n commit_v against_o the_o neighbour_n it_o must_v needs_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o forgive_v his_o part_n and_o not_o to_o god_n to_o forgive_v all_o sure_o the_o neighbour_n part_n in_o regard_n of_o god_n part_n be_v scarce_o worth_a reckon_n and_o therefore_o david_n though_o he_o have_v take_v from_o urias_n both_o his_o wife_n and_o his_o life_n two_o as_o great_a trespass_n against_o a_o neighbour_n as_o 51.4_o can_v be_v yet_o he_o say_v to_o god_n tibi_fw-la tibi_fw-la soli_fw-la peccavi_fw-la against_o thou_o against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v as_o if_o his_o trespass_n against_o urias_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o speak_n off_o yet_o god_n be_v content_v to_o allow_v the_o neighbour_n his_o part_n also_o and_o therefore_o christ_n teach_v we_o if_o our_o neighbour_n have_v aught_o against_o we_o to_o go_v first_o and_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o before_o we_o come_v to_o offer_v at_o the_o altar_n as_o if_o else_o he_o may_v put_v in_o a_o caveat_n and_o stop_v our_o petition_n and_o so_o indeed_o he_o may_v we_o must_v therefore_o use_v all_o earnest_a entreaty_n offer_v all_o possible_a satisfaction_n make_v all_o humble_a submission_n to_o procure_v our_o atonement_n but_o if_o all_o our_o endeavour_n can_v prevail_v if_o our_o ability_n be_v so_o small_a that_o we_o can_v satisfy_v or_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o harden_v that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v it_o be_v then_o god_n prerogative_n to_o take_v the_o matter_n into_o his_o 97.1_o own_o hand_n for_o vengeance_n be_v he_o and_o he_o will_v repay_v and_o the_o lord_n be_v king_n say_v the_o pfalme_n the_o earth_n may_v be_v glad_a and_o glad_a indeed_o we_o may_v be_v all_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v king_n and_o will_v judge_v

after_o a_o great_a sin_n god_n offer_v he_o his_o choice_n of_o punishment_n 24.13_o either_o famine_n or_o pestilence_n or_o to_o flee_v three_o day_n before_o his_o enemy_n though_o he_o seem_v

be_v thy_o name_n be_v the_o alleluiah_n of_o angel_n and_o we_o may_v true_o say_v be_v canticum_fw-la canticorum_fw-la the_o song_n of_o song_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v sing_v without_o

second_o when_o we_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v be_v the_o alleluiah_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o be_v a_o aspire_a to_o the_o first_o but_o in_o aspire_v in_o a_o very_a near_o degree_n near_o in_o dystance_n though_o remote_a in_o existence_n for_o they_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o attain_v and_o do_v but_o tarry_v the_o time_n but_o the_o time_n will_v not_o be_v till_o time_n will_v not_o be_v the_o three_o when_o we_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v be_v the_o allelujah_o of_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n and_o be_v a_o aspire_a to_o the_o second_o but_o a_o aspire_a in_o a_o remote_a degree_n for_o while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o all_o the_o rub_n of_o the_o world_n while_o they_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o all_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o confidence_n though_o no_o assurance_n or_o a_o assurance_n though_o but_o in_o confidence_n and_o therefore_o be_v remiss_a but_o not_o deject_v bold_a but_o not_o presumptuous_a not_o out_o of_o heart_n but_o not_o out_o of_o fear_n and_o may_v it_o not_o here_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o we_o begin_v in_o say_v hallow_v be_v thy_o name_n so_o we_o end_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o fact_v the_o hallow_n it_o and_o our_o first_o and_o last_o word_n be_v all_o for_o his_o glory_n who_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o and_o these_o three_o attribute_n

be_v do_v for_o thou_o be_v the_o power_n and_o we_o seem_v to_o sing_v not_o only_o in_o the_o first_o an_z unisonewith_o the_o angel_n but_o in_o all_o the_o three_o the_o same_o ditty_n with_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n for_o their_o allelujah_o be_v thou_o be_v worthy_a o_o lord_n to_o receive_v glory_n and_o honour_n and_o power_n and_o we_o here_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n the_o
