concern_v this_o prayer_n how_o many_o petitionsare_n there_o in_o this_o prayer_n quest_n 1_o it_o be_v a_o knot_n not_o worth_a a_o wedge_n it_o not_o be_v much_o material_a answ_n whether_o we_o

our_o saviour_n observe_v in_o this_o prayer_n the_o most_o perfect_a and_o exact_a order_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v for_o this_o prayer_n be_v of_o all_o other_o most_o perfect_a not_o only_o contain_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v pray_v for_o but_o also_o the_o order_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o pray_n for_o they_o as_o thus_o most_o evident_o appear_v first_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o last_o scope_n of_o all_o our_o action_n and_o therefore_o first_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o second_o than_o we_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n i._o because_o the_o consummation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v the_o second_o foundation_n of_o our_o action_n ii_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o this_o in_o the_o second_o place_n be_v pray_v for_o three_o than_o we_o cry_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v because_o before_o we_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n we_o can_v fulfil_v or_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o god_n four_o have_v thus_o pray_v for_o god_n glory_n and_o spiritual_a grace_n we_o then_o come_v to_o demand_v temporal_a blessing_n give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n object_n 1_o it_o may_v here_o be_v object_v we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o temporal_a thing_n first_o of_o all_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o in_o the_o first_o place_n answ_n 1_o first_o god_n do_v give_v we_o temporal_a thing_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o life_n because_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o first_o to_o be_v seek_v for_o at_o god_n hand_n answ_n 2_o second_o as_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o temporal_a thing_n from_o the_o beginning_n so_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v obey_v god_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o figtree_n shall_v always_o be_v prepare_v to_o answer_v the_o lord_n expectation_n lest_o he_o seek_v fruit_n and_o find_v none_o curse_v it_o and_o condemn_v it_o to_o the_o fire_n and_o therefore_o great_a be_v the_o necessity_n of_o spiritual_a grace_n then_o of_o temporal_a good_n and_o first_o to_o be_v demand_v answ_n 3_o three_o then_o only_o temporal_a good_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v demand_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o grace_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o beg_v only_o moderate_a thing_n modest_o wherefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v desire_v till_o after_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n four_o than_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o for_o these_o cause_n i_o because_o our_o sin_n be_v then_o remit_v when_o we_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n ii_o because_o the_o most_o sanctify_a of_o all_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o that_o daily_a five_o than_o we_o beg_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o tempter_n and_o preserve_v from_o temptation_n because_o it_o be_v always_o necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v protect_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v circumspect_a what_o may_v we_o learn_v from_o this_o method_n and_o quest_n 3_o order_n observe_v by_o
