dayly bread c. Those petitions that concern God goeth before the other shewing that before all things we ought to seek the things concerning the Kingdome of God and of all those things the Glory of God ought to be most and first in our eye H●llowed be thy name being the first petition God being above all things most Jealous of that and will have it hallowed 1. Over all 2. By all 3. In all That it may be hallowed by us we pray next for the coming of his Kingdome 1. Of grace in our hearts 2. Of glory in the clouds He had need have a good cause that prayes for the coming of the Judge we must have his Kingdome to come in our hearts by grace or then that in the clouds will never come to our souls in comfort and without these his name by us shall never be hallowed But grace inwardly tends not much to edification if it be not acted outwardly and therefore we pray againe that his will might be done in earth as it is done in heaven Obedience is better then sacrifice and what better pattern can we have before us then heaven Now there is a twofold heaven 1. A sensible or visible heaven wherein he hath put a tabernacle for the Sun which keeps the ordinances he gave it from the beginning 2. A rational or invisible heaven this is the Saints and Angels though cheifly the Angels be here understood who spends their eternity in doing the will of God 1. Fully 2. Freely 3. Cheerfully 4. Speedily 5. Satisfactorily 6. Unweariedly And in all these things we ought to indeavor to be like the Angels of God by which meanes it will appeare that his Kingdome of grace is established in us and therefore his kingdom of glory shall be hastened for us and then his name to all eternity shall be hallowed by us Those petitions that concern man are either to his body as give us this day our dayly bread or his soul Forgive us our trespasses c. In which this number is observable that there is but one petition for the things of the body and two for the soul shewing that in prayer our care labour zeale for the good of the soul should at least be double to that of the body Two of these are for the obtaining of good give us this day our daily bread c. and one for the avoiding of evill lead us not into temptation shewing that if we by faith struggle hard for grace though it be but like a mustard seed yet it shall prove effectuall to keep us from a great deal of evill and by consequence prevent a great deal of sorrow That for the body shews that in prayer we should aske nothing but what is necessary for us as bread in which is included drink sleep rayment and what is necessary for the life of man Yet we must understand that according to mens states and conditions their necessities are either more or lesse It is necessary for a King a General of an Army or for a Judge what is not for me and according to that state and quality they may pray for a supply of their necessity From the body by a short transition or cut we are brought by our Saviour to look upon the soul upon which we are bound to dwell longer by one petition at least for a●ter our dayly bread we presently pray for forgivenesse of sinnes c. noting 1 That there may be danger in long feasting 2 That there may be sin committed in a short meale Indeed when men have eaten and are full they are in danger of sin and to prevent judgment it is fit to pray forgive us our trespasses or debts as we forgive them that trespasse against us In which there is 1 A petition Forgive us c. 2 The rule of that petition as we forgive c. Which shews that in our prayers we are to be full of love and charity as Sons of consolation not of wrath and hatred as was in those sons of thunder But we must know that our forgiving others is not the meritorious cause of Gods forgiving us but a declarative sign of it a certain condition of our part cause sine qua non of our forgivenesse It is a very mocking of Almighty God to beg forgivenesse for sin after we have eaten except the bread be our own he in this case of rape requiring restitution which some in this age refusing to do laid aside this prayer they eating that bread which to enjoy they had possibly banished the owner murthered the Parent and made the Child an exile Through the fraily of nature and subtilty of the tempter God becomes no sooner mercifull then man becomes sinfull which makes our Saviour next to forgivenesse of sin shew that we must pray for Deliverance from it for time to come as we have forgivenesse for the time past in these words lead us not into temptation c. In the former petition we pray for the justifying gift of God that our sins be not imputed in this for the sanctifying grace of God that our natures may be purified before which can be had the former must be obtained Now 1. Satan tempts us to evill 2. Wicked men tempts us to evil From both which we are shewed it is our wisdom to be freed that God might not leave us to our selves nor we be drawn from the simplicity that is in Christ by our inadvertancy yet if God suffer either the one or the other to tempt us as he did Iob we are to pray againe deliver us from evill That neither the one nor the other make us to sin or charge God foolishly but stand through his assisting grace 1 Against the tempters 2 Against the temptation 3 Against above all others the evill One that is Satan the other being but his instruments This notes that what ever grace or blessing we have asked obtain'd we ought to sue for the grace of perseverance that we may bear up against all temptations that are cast before us to destroy that grace given And as Gods glory or the Hallowing of his name is toward him the chief thing to be asked so our own eternal happinesse in a constant perseverance of the truth is to be the end of all our petitions towards our selves And not to our selves only but as this prayer is divided between God and man so our prayers are to eye the honour and glory of God and the good and prosperity of all men and then our petitions are according to our Saviours rule and institution not otherwise 3 The third considerable in this prayer is the greatnesse or excellency of the person unto whom this prayer is directed In these words For thine is the Kingdom c. Which words both for matter and form are a thanksgiving ascribing all wisdom power and glory might majesty and dominion to be in our Father nothing to be in our selves and these to be the Lords peculiar property
