one_o petition_n may_v well_o enough_o have_v serve_v &_o most_o of_o all_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a in_o christ_n who_o ever_o use_v rather_o substraction_n than_o multiplication_n as_o of_o ten_o commandment_n he_o make_v but_o two_o and_o now_o that_o of_o one_o petition_n he_o shall_v make_v six_o but_o o_o my_o soul_n be_v it_o far_o from_o thou_o to_o have_v such_o thought_n to_o raise_v such_o scandal_n for_o the_o commandment_n be_v duty_n and_o duty_n be_v burden_n and_o in_o abridge_n they_o he_o perform_v his_o promise_n come_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v ease_v you_o and_o well_o he_o may_v abridge_v they_o to_o we_o who_o have_v indeed_o perform_v they_o for_o we_o but_o the_o petition_n be_v grace_n and_o the_o more_o grace_n the_o more_o grace_n the_o more_o grace_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n the_o more_o grace_n we_o be_v in_o with_o god_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o only_o subtract_v burden_n but_o as_o well_o also_o multiply_v grace_n although_o in_o truth_n these_o six_o petition_n be_v all_o in_o effect_n but_o one_o petition_n that_o have_v call_v god_n our_o father_n we_o here_o desire_v to_o be_v his_o child_n but_o we_o must_v observe_v a_o difference_n in_o be_v god_n child_n and_o be_v child_n of_o man_n for_o here_o we_o be_v child_n first_o and_o afterward_o we_o do_v our_o 5.45_o duty_n but_o there_o we_o do_v at_o least_o some_o duty_n first_o and_o afterward_o we_o be_v child_n as_o it_o be_v say_v 8.14_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v power_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o though_o christ_n dilate_v it_o to_o we_o here_o in_o six_o petition_n for_o our_o understanding_n yet_o present_o after_o the_o delivery_n of_o they_o he_o seem_v to_o reduce_v they_o again_o to_o one_o petition_n where_o he_o say_v how_o much_o more_o shall_v 11.13_o your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o they_o that_o desire_v he_o for_o to_o desire_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v all_o in_o effect_n that_o we_o desire_v in_o these_o six_o petition_n which_o therefore_o some_o will_v have_v to_o be_v seven_o that_o so_o they_o may_v answer_v to_o the_o seven_o spirit_n which_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o to_o represent_v the_o holy_a 2._o ghost_n indeed_o the_o three_o last_o be_v proper_o &_o bare_a lie_n petition_n but_o the_o three_o first_o be_v as_o christ_n say_v of_o john_n baptist_n that_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o more_o than_o a_o prophet_n so_o these_o be_v petition_n &_o more_o than_o petition_n for_o they_o be_v both_o hallelujah_n and_o hosannaes_n for_o we_o glorify_v god_n by_o the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n by_o the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v our_o king_n by_o the_o three_o thathe_n be_v our_o master_n and_o they_o be_v petition_n also_o the_o first_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o obedient_a child_n the_o second_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o loy_n all_o subject_n the_o three_o that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o dutiful_a servant_n and_o from_o these_o three_o first_o grow_v a_o confidence_n unto_o we_o of_o obtain_v the_o three_o last_o which_o therefore_o seem_v subordinate_a to_o they_o that_o asa_fw-mi father_n he_o will_v give_v to_o we_o his_o child_n bread_n and_o sustenance_n and_o as_o a_o king_n he_o will_v grant_v to_o we_o his_o subject_n a_o pardon_n of_o our_o trespass_n &_o as_o a_o master_n he_o will_v not_o lay_v upon_o we_o his_o servant_n great_a burden_n than_o we_o can_v bear_v but_o may_v not_o this_o paraphrase_n be_v oppose_v have_v not_o this_o prayer_n a_o correspondence_n rather_o with_o the_o fall_n of_o angel_n and_o do_v it_o not_o make_v a_o resemblance_n of_o our_o condition_n to_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v cast_v down_o all_o at_o once_o and_o we_o here_o fall_v down_o by_o degree_n for_o at_o every_o petition_n we_o take_v a_o fall_n at_o the_o first_o we_o seem_v to_o set_v out_o in_o a_o high_a hand_n and_o as_o though_o we_o need_v nothing_o in_o our_o own_o behalf_n we_o ask_v all_o for_o god_n in_o the_o second_o we_o fall_v to_o ask_v for_o ourselves_o but_o yet_o no_o less_o than_o a_o kingdom_n in_o the_o three_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o the_o condition_n to_o be_v servant_n in_o the_o four_o we_o fall_v to_o the_o state_n of_o plain_a beggar_n in_o the_o five_o we_o fall_v yet_o low_a and_o come_v to_o be_v in_o debt_n in_o the_o last_o we_o fall_v to_o the_o low_a to_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o that_o under_o satan_n and_o now_o we_o be_v fall_v as_o low_a as_o the_o angel_n that_o fall_v or_o rather_o so_o much_o low_a as_o we_o be_v under_o they_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o progress_n of_o our_o condition_n in_o ourselves_o but_o christ_n our_o redcemer_n who_o have_v put_v out_o the_o hand_n write_v that_o be_v against_o

petition_n and_o make_v they_o to_o resemble_v rather_o the_o six_o day_n of_o creation_n as_o david_n say_v create_v in_o i_o o_o god_n a_o clean_a heart_n which_o be_v but_o this_o very_a prayer_n in_o a_o lesser_a volume_n 51.10_o for_o as_o every_o day_n in_o the_o creation_n have_v particular_a work_n so_o every_o petition_n in_o this_o prayer_n have_v particular_a grace_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o 18.1_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n at_o once_o yet_o the_o make_n of_o each_o creature_n be_v ascribe_v to_o some_o peculiar_a day_n so_o this_o prayer_n be_v the_o supplication_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o yet_o each_o petition_n seem_v to_o have_v some_o special_a relatiou_n to_o some_o peculiar_a member_n for_o the_o

much_o a_o singularity_n of_o majesty_n but_o much_o rather_o a_o plurality_n of_o person_n and_o be_v more_o than_o one_o that_o they_o be_v but_o three_o and_o that_o three_o they_o be_v be_v

one_o and_o but_o for_o fear_n of_o profaneness_n i_o can_v here_o borrow_v a_o argument_n from_o some_o philosopher_n who_o think_v god_n a_o number_n for_o certain_o if_o he_o be_v a_o number_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o first_o perfect_a number_n and_o that_o be_v three_o for_o one_o be_v no_o number_n be_v less_o multiply_v by_o itself_o then_o add_v to_o itself_o and_o two_o be_v but_o

miraculous_a secret_n in_o god_n nature_n seem_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o st._n john_n where_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v love_n for_o certain_o if_o he_o be_v love_n he_o be_v all_o love_n see_v god_n be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o part_n and_o be_v not_o this_o miraculous_a we_o may_v conceive_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o that_o he_o be_v merciful_a and_o we_o may_v perhaps_o conceive_v that_o he_o be_v justice_n itself_o and_o that_o he_o be_v mercy_n itself_o but_o to_o conceive_v that_o he_o be_v all_o justice_n and_o yet_o all_o mercy_n that_o he_o be_v all_o wisdom_n and_o yet_o all_o power_n that_o he_o be_v total_o so_o many_o thing_n and_o yet_o distinct_o but_o one_o thing_n this_o be_v that_o we_o can_v conceive_v yet_o this_o we_o must_v conceive_v before_o we_o can_v conceive_v what_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n be_v what_o have_v we_o then_o to_o say_v here_o but_o as_o christ_n say_v with_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o with_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v

that_o content_v ourselves_o to_o sit_v in_o the_o cloud_n till_o he_o remove_v it_o up_o and_o shine_v upon_o we_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v infinite_a and_o not_o to_o be_v measure_v to_o

petition_n shall_v come_v in_o so_o late_a which_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v have_v be_v the_o first_o for_o how_o can_v we_o expect_v a_o donative_n before_o a_o pardon_n that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v give_v we_o unless_o our_o sin_n be_v first_o forgive_v we_o be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o four_o first_o petition_n be_v very_o ancient_a and_o be_v say_v of_o our_o first_o parent_n even_o in_o paradise_n and_o in_o they_o we_o alter_v nothing_o but_o the_o tune_n for_o they_o be_v to_o they_o song_n but_o be_v to_o we_o supplication_n they_o be_v to_o they_o himn_v but_o to_o we_o be_v dirge_n but_o the_o two_o latter_a be_v whole_o new_a and_o come_v but_o now_o in_o and_o therefore_o take_v their_o place_n as_o they_o come_v for_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o mere_a reparation_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n ruin_n and_o have_v both_o of_o they_o be_v altogether_o needless_a if_o they_o have_v not_o both_o of_o they_o be_v altogether_o graceless_a and_o yet_o there_o appear_v another_o reason_n for_o we_o have_v ask_v to_o hallow_v god_n name_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v and_o that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v and_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o bread_n to_o eat_v and_o now_o it_o seem_v by_o our_o ask_n for_o temporal_a thing_n which_o be_v the_o last_o care_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n that_o christ_n will_v have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o prayer_n here_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o our_o hallow_v god_n name_n be_v but_o imperfect_a his_o kingdom_n come_v to_o we_o but_o in_o part_n his_o will_n though_o it_o be_v do_v as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o be_v do_v in_o earthen_a vessel_n and_o therefore_o after_o all_o this_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n we_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o this_o at_o last_o and_o ask_v forgiveness_n or_o else_o all_o that_o go_v before_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n for_o which_o this_o prayer_n be_v intend_v and_o may_v it_o not_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o this_o petition_n come_v in_o so_o late_o and_o be_v place_v among_o the_o last_o to_o show_v that_o repentance_n come_v never_o too_o late_o so_o it_o come_v at_o last_o and_o therefore_o christ_n make_v this_o one_o of_o our_o last_o petition_n as_o wash_v the_o disciple_n foot_n be_v one_o of_o his_o last_o act_n the_o very_a emblem_n of_o this_o petition_n yet_o we_o may_v observe_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n this_o late_a repentance_n be_v for_o though_o peter_n no_o doubt_n have_v often_o say_v with_o david_n wash_v i_o thorough_o from_o my_o sin_n yet_o when_o it_o grow_v 51.2_o so_o late_o before_o christ_n come_v to_o wash_v he_o indeed_o he_o will_v have_v put_v it_o off_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o put_v he_o on_o with_o a_o extraordinary_a motion_n but_o may_v we_o not_o seem_v here_o to_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n for_o here_o be_v many_o petition_n but_o we_o can_v see_v none_o of_o ask_v for_o faith_n as_o christ_n pray_v for_o peter_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v and_o the_o apostle_n 22.32_o pray_v o_o lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n and_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o in_o this_o principal_a prayer_n we_o shall_v not_o pray_v for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a that_o all_o our_o petition_n shall_v be_v for_o work_n and_o none_o of_o they_o for_o faith_n be_v it_o for_o some_o such_o reason_n as_o moses_n have_v who_o describe_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o make_n of_o all_o creature_n yet_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o make_n of_o angel_n though_o of_o all_o creature_n the_o principal_a or_o be_v it_o that_o christ_n make_v this_o a_o prayer_n not_o a_o catechism_n 11.6_o and_o a_o prayer_n for_o the_o faithful_a not_o for_o infidel_n for_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o or_o be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v pray_v for_o faith_n but_o it_o must_v be_v needs_o either_o without_o cause_n or_o without_o effect_n and_o so_o be_v either_o needless_a or_o fruitless_a for_o if_o we_o have_v fauth_n already_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o ask_v it_o and_o if_o we_o have_v it_o not_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o ask_v it_o see_v what_o we_o ask_v not_o in_o faith_n st._n james_n tell_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o obtain_v and_o if_o we_o ask_v it_o in_o faith_n we_o then_o have_v faith_n to_o ask_v it_o before_o we_o ask_v it_o but_o will_v it_o not_o be_v better_a not_o to_o look_v out_o reason_n why_o we_o do_v not_o ask_v it_o but_o rather_o to_o show_v reason_n that_o we_o do_v ask_v it_o and_o ask_v it_o we_o do_v indeed_o not_o verbal_o but_o real_o for_o do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o hallow_n of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v hallow_v but_o by_o the_o tongue_n of_o faith_n the_o name_n of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o come_n of_o that_o which_o can_v come_v but_o upon_o the_o foot_n of_o faith_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o faith_n the_o will_v of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o have_v of_o that_o which_o can_v be_v have_v but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n forgiveness_n of_o our_o fin_n certain_o see_v we_o pray_v for_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n for_o the_o root_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n of_o name_v faith_n that_o can_v be_v a_o reason_n to_o make_v we_o doubt_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o for_o faith_n no_o more_o than_o the_o want_n of_o name_v christ_n in_o this_o prayer_n be_v any_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o here_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v proper_a to_o this_o petition_n that_o where_o all_o the_o other_o be_v absolute_a this_o only_a be_v conditional_a and_o where_o the_o other_o
