direct_o against_o god_n the_o other_o against_o man_n this_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o first_o table_n and_o therefore_o more_o hard_a to_o be_v discern_v it_o be_v light_o esteem_v

be_v our_o father_n &_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o because_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n &_o therefore_o almighty_a hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n 1._o the_o coherence_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o preface_n

16._o 4._o the_o lord_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n yea_o even_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o day_n of_o evil_a and_o from_o the_o order_n of_o the_o petition_n here_o arise_v a_o worthy_a instruction_n namely_o that_o every_o one_o in_o all_o thing_n they_o take_v in_o hand_n be_v to_o propound_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o intend_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o end_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o all_o our_o do_n we_o be_v to_o propound_v to_o ourselves_o but_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o the_o high_a end_n of_o all_o our_o do_n

not_o into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n yet_o he_o do_v but_o fail_v in_o do_v of_o it_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v by_o these_o punishment_n and_o also_o by_o the_o order_n of_o the_o petition_n that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o all_o thing_n else_o quest._n whether_o be_v we_o to_o prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o
