therefore_o it_o be_v best_o to_o say_v with_o holy_a david_n lord_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n etc._n etc._n so_o i_o will_v 116._o have_v every_o good_a christian_a say_v i_o have_v no_o lord_n to_o

ere_o we_o can_v hope_v to_o reign_v with_o god_n in_o glory_n hereafter_o the_o next_o thing_n we_o pray_v for_o in_o this_o petition_n be_v for_o 16._o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n that_o god_n

the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v no_o call_v no_o employment_n no_o ability_n to_o do_v business_n and_o yet_o be_v idle_a mispend_v his_o time_n and_o be_v careless_a of_o himself_o this_o man_n do_v not_o eat_v his_o own_o bread_n because_o he_o do_v nothing_o to_o make_v it_o his_o own_o etc._n etc._n second_o the_o bread_n of_o wickedness_n and_o of_o the_o fatherless_a when_o a_o

this_o also_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o bread_n and_o so_o can_v be_v eat_v with_o peace_n of_o conscience_n therefore_o let_v we_o look_v to_o eat_v of_o our_o own_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o

and_o take_v the_o devil_n counsel_n not_o be_v rule_v by_o god_n as_o they_o shall_v we_o read_v isa._n 11._o 7._o in_o that_o 7._o great_a change_n to_o be_v wrought_v under_o the_o gospel_n it_o

be_v daily_a bread_n and_o in_o the_o other_o first_o pardon_v for_o sin_n second_o for_o grace_n against_o they_o 2_o why_o this_o petition_n be_v link_v to_o the_o former_a by_o a_o coniunctive_a

be_v for_o two_o special_a reason_n first_o because_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o careful_a for_o worldly_a thing_n but_o to_o be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a mind_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v discreet_a in_o our_o demand_n and_o not_o dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o earthly_a thing_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n who_o use_v to_o pray_v not_o to_o care_v how_o long_o they_o continue_v their_o suit_n for_o daily_a bread_n be_v please_v to_o conclude_v all_o under_o that_o as_o hosh._n 7._o 14._o the_o lord_n complain_v they_o assemble_v themselves_o for_o 14._o their_o corn_n and_o wine_n the_o thing_n that_o they_o only_o think_v on_o and_o care_n for_o so_o as_o they_o can_v be_v content_v continual_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o wherein_o our_o saviour_n christ_n perceive_v a_o natural_a corruption_n in_o we_o will_v therefore_o have_v we_o soon_o to_o have_v do_v with_o this_o thing_n and_o by_o and_o by_o to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o better_a to_o seek_v more_o pertinent_a matter_n pardon_v of_o sin_n salvation_n of_o soul_n strength_n and_o mean_n to_o live_v holy_o without_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n will_v turn_v to_o nothing_o though_o we_o have_v as_o much_o as_o sea_n and_o land_n can_v afford_v we_o so_o that_o as_o bird_n which_o dip_v dip_v into_o the_o sea_n to_o get_v their_o food_n soar_v up_o again_o and_o quick_o rise_v lest_o they_o shall_v dull_v their_o wing_n and_o wet_v their_o feather_n that_o they_o can_v fly_v so_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o dive_v too_o deep_a into_o the_o world_n bring_v our_o affection_n so_o low_a as_o we_o can_v mount_v and_o raise_v up_o our_o heavy_a heart_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o those_o heavenly_a

our_o heart_n up_o and_o our_o thought_n as_o high_a as_o heaven_n to_o the_o love_n and_o meditation_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o a_o garden_n you_o see_v when_o man_n have_v store_n of_o heavy_a
