because_o it_o be_v give_v the_o second_o time_n upon_o the_o solemn_a desire_n of_o the_o disciple_n to_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v as_o john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n now_o christ_n teach_v to_o pray_v as_o john_n the_o forerunner_n teach_v to_o pray_v who_o though_o before_o christ_n yet_o be_v after_o he_o must_v needs_o teach_v to_o pray_v as_o the_o messiah_n as_o the_o great_a priest_n

that_o also_o can_v not_o be_v but_o transcendent_o high_a as_o to_o christianity_n in_o general_n but_o let_v we_o first_o observe_v the_o more_o remote_a and_o outward_a circumstance_n of_o the_o give_v of_o this_o prayer_n in_o the_o evangelist_n luke_n 1._o as_o it_o be_v give_v upon_o the_o so_o solemn_a desire_n of_o the_o disciple_n to_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v and_o our_o lord_n give_v the_o prayer_n in_o these_o word_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v it_o may_v seem_v to_o push_v home_o to_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o these_o word_n when_o we_o pray_v but_o in_o answer_n to_o it_o there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v which_o be_v plain_a matter_n of_o fact_n 1._o that_o this_o prayer_n be_v most_o complete_a in_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v first_o give_v and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v complete_v in_o luke_n by_o be_v compare_v with_o itself_o as_o give_v in_o matthew_n for_o the_o doxological_a conclusion_n or_o asscribe_v the_o kingdom_n the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o with_o the_o amen_o the_o seal_n of_o all_o be_v to_o be_v find_v only_o in_o matthew_n both_o which_o the_o jew_n general_o use_v in_o their_o prayer_n even_o as_o christian_n do_v if_o then_o the_o whole_a and_o entire_a pattern_n must_v be_v derive_v from_o matthew_n even_o so_o must_v the_o just_a elevation_n of_o the_o command_n for_o the_o use_v

to_o be_v a_o pattern_n which_o must_v be_v measure_v by_o all_o scripture_n so_o few_o word_n be_v else_o insufficient_a as_o have_v be_v make_v out_o to_o direct_v we_o to_o pray_v after_o that_o manner_n so_o those_o word_n in_o luke_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v must_v be_v expound_v by_o those_o in_o matthew_n when_o you_o pray_v say_v after_o this_o manner_n 2._o it_o be_v certain_a by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel-history_n that_o the_o prayer_n as_o give_v in_o luke_n be_v another_o distinct_a give_v of_o it_o from_o that_o in_o matthew_n and_o be_v the_o last_o give_v it_o and_o some_o considerable_a time_n after_o the_o sermon_n in_o the_o mount_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o where_o the_o form_n be_v most_o complete_a and_o have_v be_v before_o give_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o yet_o understand_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o the_o repetition_n of_o the_o word_n or_o strict_o determine_v to_o the_o form_n for_o if_o they_o have_v continual_o use_v it_o as_o a_o form_n they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v forgetful_a that_o christ_n have_v already_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v or_o they_o must_v have_v charge_v his_o form_n of_o prayer_n direct_o with_o insufficiency_n even_o there_o where_o it_o be_v most_o a_o form_n and_o in_o that_o sermon_n where_o they_o be_v the_o most_o domestic_a or_o proper_a auditor_n for_o he_o laok_v on_o his_o

their_o desire_n god_n will_v give_v they_o the_o best_a thing_n though_o they_o may_v not_o understand_v the_o height_n and_o depth_n the_o breadth_n and_o length_n of_o the_o divine_a promise_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o relation_n to_o prayer_n and_o particular_o as_o gather_v into_o this_o prayer_n for_o god_n will_v understand_v for_o his_o child_n the_o best_a

1._o that_o this_o petition_n import_v a_o state_n of_o the_o high_a and_o full_a forgiveness_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n one_o towards_o another_o even_o so_o high_a that_o our_o lord_n propose_v it_o as_o the_o very_a standard_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o god_n not_o that_o it_o be_v indeed_o so_o but_o contrariwise_a the_o forgiveness_n of_o god_n be_v certain_o the_o original_a exemplar_n of_o pardon_n and_o the_o grand_a efficient_a of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o saint_n one_o to_o another_o 2._o this_o petition_n therefore_o declare_v a_o forgiveness_n and_o pardon_v from_o god_n to_o the_o high_a of_o all_o our_o notion_n and_o sentiment_n of_o pardon_n that_o either_o we_o can_v desire_v from_o or_o yield_v one_o to_o another_o which_o be_v one_o main_a reason_n of_o our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o the_o desire_n of_o forgiveness_n from_o god_n as_o we_o forgive_v that_o be_v to_o the_o height_n and_o depth_n to_o the_o breadth_n and_o length_n of_o all_o our_o conception_n of_o pardon_n and_o also_o as_o we_o learn_v from_o scripture_n much_o above_o and_o beyond_o what_o we_o can_v know_v ask_v or_o think_v 3._o when_o we_o compare_v this_o prayer_n with_o scripture_n in_o its_o whole_a latitude_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v the_o true_a exposition_n of_o it_o and_o with_o the_o height_n of_o prophetical_a scripture_n in_o this_o point_n of_o reconciliation_n we_o find_v it_o shall_v be_v of_o all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n or_o of_o the_o creature_n among_o themselves_o or_o of_o the_o whole_a creation_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o one_o with_o another_o 1._o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o wherein_o our_o lord_n appear_v to_o have_v give_v we_o as_o a_o key_n a_o private_a key_n that_o this_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o kingdom_n viz._n that_o he_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v be_v forgive_v even_o as_o we_o forgive_v or_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o luke_n for_o we_o also_o forgive_v i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v on_o all_o account_n and_o so_o on_o this_o but_o that_o our_o lord_n do_v hereby_o teach_v the_o great_a duty_n of_o mutual_a forgiveness_n and_o that_o the_o expository_n discourse_v upon_o this_o petition_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o moment_n and_o of_o mighty_a press_a obligation_n to_o all_o such_o mutual_a forgiveness_n but_o i_o do_v only_o endeavour_v to_o show_v they_o do_v not_o reach_v the_o height_n of_o this_o petition_n and_o therefore_o on_o two_o ground_n i_o will_v discourse_v this_o as_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o this_o petition_n 1._o that_o the_o very_a mention_n of_o forgiveness_n one_o of_o another_o do_v import_v a_o high_a state_n of_o our_o mutual_a forgiveness_n for_o the_o petition_n do_v intend_v not_o only_o a_o prayer_n that_o god_n will_v forgive_v as_o we_o forgive_v but_o also_o a_o prayer_n that_o we_o may_v forgive_v so_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v forgive_v of_o god_n for_o a_o duty_n so_o much_o above_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o also_o so_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n how_o can_v we_o presume_v upon_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n without_o prayer_n for_o it_o in_o the_o very_a mention_n of_o it_o include_v for_o else_o the_o word_n wauld_v be_v as_o if_o we_o vie_v with_o god_n in_o the_o magnanimity_n of_o pardon_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o take_v pattern_n by_o we_o and_o to_o forgive_v we_o for_o we_o be_v able_a to_o forgive_v those_o who_o be_v indebt_v to_o we_o whereas_o we_o know_v and_o scripture_n so_o make_v plain_a to_o we_o god_n be_v he_o to_o who_o none_o be_v like_a in_o pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n and_o indeed_o none_o can_v forgive_v at_o all_o but_o god_n principal_o and_o primary_o because_o every_o sin_n against_o man_n be_v first_o against_o he_o and_o a_o victation_n of_o his_o order_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o david_n when_o he_o have_v sin_v subordinate_o against_o the_o honour_n of_o vriah_n bed_n and_o against_o his_o life_n yet_o confess_v against_o thou_o against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v not_o as_o many_o will_v take_v it_o eztol_v his_o kingly_a power_n and_o supremacy_n but_o acknowledge_v god_n original_a right_n over_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o sin_n be_v so_o against_o he_o that_o he_o have_v a_o supreme_a right_n of_o pardon_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o offend_a creature_n although_o it_o be_v both_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o offend_a to_o ask_v and_o of_o the_o offend_a creature_n to_o grant_v that_o pardon_n and_o that_o be_v because_o both_o the_o offend_a and_o the_o offend_v be_v his_o but_o not_o insist_v upon_o our_o forgive_n as_o be_v intend_v by_o way_n of_o petition_n but_o only_o as_o a_o condition_n of_o and_o qualification_n for_o divine_a pardon_n yet_o see_v god_n forgiveness_n of_o we_o we_o desire_v shall_v be_v to_o the_o height_n there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n when_o our_o forgive_a one_o another_o shall_v be_v at_o such_o a_o height_n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o glory_n of_o that_o state_n that_o forgiveness_n of_o one_o another_o and_o also_o forgiveness_n from_o god_n to_o we_o may_v be_v at_o a_o height_n because_o this_o prayer_n do_v in_o every_o thing_n imply_v the_o high_a sense_n and_o therefore_o must_v have_v a_o answer_n to_o a_o height_n so_o on_o all_o account_n there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n of_o god_n forgive_a we_o and_o our_o forgiveness_n of_o one_o another_o at_o the_o height_n and_o the_o latter_a must_v be_v such_o that_o it_o may_v declare_v and_o display_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o former_a or_o else_o this_o prayer_n do_v not_o attain_v its_o end_n 2._o indeed_o our_o forgiuness_n of_o one_o another_o be_v now_o so_o low_o that_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o measure_n in_o any_o sense_n of_o god_n forgive_a we_o the_o best_a and_o the_o most_o charitable_a will_v want_v a_o plenary_a pardon_n if_o so_o measure_v out_o to_o they_o i_o shall_v desire_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o those_o who_o forgive_v most_o clear_o they_o shall_v yet_o be_v in_o a_o high_a measure_n forgive_v of_o god_n than_o they_o forgive_v the_o best_a man_n have_v too_o great_a tincture_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o injury_n of_o other_o against_o they_o remain_v upon_o their_o spirit_n and_o especial_o according_a to_o the_o comprehensive_a word_n here_o choose_v by_o christ_n debt_n that_o be_v either_o
what_o we_o call_v strict_o debt_n or_o be_v real_a and_o substantial_a wrong_n who_o come_v up_o to_o forgive_v as_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v forgive_v of_o god_n that_o all_o shall_v be_v blot_v out_o and_o forgive_v as_o if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o perfect_o take_v away_o by_o forgiveness_n that_o though_o it_o be_v seek_v for_o it_o can_v be_v find_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o the_o offend_a and_o indebt_v person_n receive_v into_o especial_a favour_n according_a to_o the_o state_n of_o thing_n now_o even_o to_o those_o we_o account_v good_a man_n this_o petition_n be_v rather_o a_o imprecation_n than_o a_o petition_n if_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o qualify_v the_o petition_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o suspend_v god_n forgiveness_n upon_o we_o with_o the_o sense_n in_o our_o degree_n and_o with_o sincerity_n though_o not_o to_o perfection_n even_o as_o we_o be_v command_v to_o be_v merciful_a as_o god_n be_v merciful_a i_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o may_v give_v some_o satisfaction_n as_o to_o the_o time_n be_v and_o till_o that_o great_a reformation_n of_o all_o thing_n even_o that_o of_o restitution_n or_o else_o we_o be_v all_o most_o miserable_a but_o see_v there_o be_v a_o state_n much_o high_a both_o of_o our_o pardon_n from_o god_n and_o forgiveness_n to_o one_o another_o and_o that_o i_o have_v so_o often_o assert_v and_o it_o can_v but_o be_v yield_v that_o this_o prayer_n that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v teach_v must_v reach_v to_o the_o very_a height_n of_o thing_n in_o every_o part_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v expound_v according_a to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o inquire_v by_o the_o second_o particular_a for_o that_o much_o high_a state_n of_o god_n forgiveness_n and_o of_o the_o saint_n forgiveness_n one_o of_o anothor_n wherein_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v convertible_a and_o turn_v round_a upon_o one_o another_o we_o shall_v forgive_v one_o another_o to_o that_o perfection_n that_o god_n forgiveness_n reserve_v to_o it_o only_o the_o difference_n between_o a_o finite_a and_o a_o infinite_a forgiver_n and_o reserve_v to_o god_n forgiveness_n also_o the_o exemplariness_n and_o also_o the_o efficiency_n of_o our_o forgive_a and_o god_n forgiveness_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o the_o forgiveness_n the_o full_a forgiveness_n of_o the_o saint_n forgiveness_n one_o of_o another_o that_o be_v the_o glory_n and_o perfection_n of_o god_n forgiveness_n shall_v be_v see_v in_o our_o perfection_n of_o forgive_a one_o another_o as_o in_o this_o mirror_n and_o reflection_n and_o therefore_o the_o petition_n be_v so_o frame_v on_o purpose_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o that_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o that_o very_o end_v the_o low_a and_o the_o lesser_a thing_n the_o copy_n and_o the_o reflection_n be_v give_v as_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o high_a and_o the_o great_a and_o the_o original_a for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o glorious_a as_o to_o be_v make_v as_o it_o be_v the_o exemplar_n and_o original_a how_o much_o more_o glorious_a be_v that_o exemplar_n and_o original_a itself_o and_o that_o the_o reflection_n and_o mirror_n of_o god_n forgiveness_n viz._n our_o forgiuness_n of_o one_o another_o be_v so_o dark_a now_o it_o assure_v there_o shall_v and_o must_v be_v a_o time_n that_o the_o original_a shall_v be_v more_o glorious_a in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o itself_o that_o the_o mirror_n and_o reflection_n may_v be_v more_o glorious_a and_o because_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o glorious_a therefore_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o original_a shall_v be_v more_o glorious_a also_o first_o all_o which_o i_o will_v represent_v in_o these_o two_o particular_n 1._o the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v a_o state_n of_o the_o most_o perfect_a purity_n from_o all_o remain_v stain_n of_o sin_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o divine_a pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n then_o to_o the_o height_n of_o all_o understanding_n their_o sin_n shall_v be_v blot_v out_o when_o these_o time_n of_o new_a life_n and_o restitution_n shall_v come_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v present_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o glory_n without_o fault_n spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n their_o robe_n be_v wash_v white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o be_v array_v in_o linen_n white_a and_o clean_a and_o clothe_v in_o change_n of_o raiment_n all_o which_o express_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o state_n therefore_o commensurate_a hereunto_o be_v inward_o full_a of_o all_o joy_n and_o peace_n in_o righteousness_n and_o outward_o of_o all_o glory_n and_o happiness_n when_o the_o effect_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v peace_n and_o assurance_n for_o ever_o 2._o that_o this_o may_v be_v there_o can_v be_v any_o thing_n upon_o the_o breast_n of_o saint_n remain_v one_o towards_o another_o that_o shall_v recall_v or_o give_v any_o remembrance_n of_o their_o former_a transgression_n or_o mutual_a resentment_n one_o towards_o another_o for_o this_o must_v need_n be_v a_o shade_n and_o cloud_n upon_o that_o glorious_a and_o happy_a state_n altogether_o both_o unbeseeming_a and_o unsuitable_a to_o it_o for_o the_o infinite_a riches_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n through_o the_o blood_n and_o redemption_n of_o christ_n so_o full_o set_v out_o in_o glory_n operate_v both_o as_o a_o exemplar_n to_o which_o the_o saint_n be_v conform_v in_o relation_n to_o one_o another_o and_o by_o way_n of_o sweet_a efficient_a attempering_a they_o in_o high_a love_n to_o and_o union_n one_o with_o another_o and_o that_o sense_n they_o have_v of_o the_o full_a absolute_a forgiveness_n love_n to_o and_o union_n one_o with_o another_o be_v a_o inward_a pledge_n and_o experiment_n of_o the_o power_n of_o forgiveness_n in_o god_n and_o of_o the_o high_a nature_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o saint_n have_v knowledge_n of_o divine_a forgiveness_n in_o themselves_o by_o their_o own_o forgiveness_n one_o of_o another_o and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v please_v so_o to_o put_v it_o forgive_v we_o as_o we_o forgive_v 3._o as_o a_o further_a lustre_n of_o that_o state_n as_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o love_n and_o the_o amnesty_n and_o act_n of_o supreme_a grace_n shall_v take_v all_o our_o former_a sin_n out_o of_o their_o remembrance_n so_o the_o very_a enmity_n of_o the_o creature_n towards_o we_o and_o among_o themselves_o of_o the_o wolf_n and_o of_o the_o

violate_v infringe_v or_o dissolve_v and_o all_o this_o we_o pray_v for_o in_o the_o high_a sense_n of_o this_o prayer_n which_o must_v needs_o therefore_o be_v because_o these_o be_v the_o high_a

the_o fundamental_a rule_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o in_o it_o he_o expound_v this_o prayer_n be_v that_o it_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a sense_n of_o scripture_n so_o far_o as_o it_o can_v fall_v into_o

far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o grant_v such_o thing_n that_o they_o can_v in_o the_o least_o understand_v them_o no_o more_o in_o the_o main_a be_v any_o power_n able_a below_o his_o who_o be_v the_o
