objection_n how_o can_v any_o man_n forgive_v trespass_n see_v god_n only_o forgive_v sin_n answer_n in_o every_o trespass_n which_o any_o man_n do_v to_o his_o neighbour_n there_o be_v two_o offence_n one_o to_o god_n another_o to_o man_n in_o the_o first_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v against_o god_n and_o his_o law_n it_o be_v call_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o god_n only_o forgive_v in_o the_o other_o respect_n it_o be_v call_v a_o injury_n or_o damage_n and_o so_o man_n may_v forgive_v it_o so_o in_o the_o case_n of_o these_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o god_n god_n only_o do_v forgive_v it_o but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o wrong_n to_o our_o neighbour_n man_n do_v forgive_v it_o objection_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o pray_v this_o petition_n and_o yet_o sue_v he_o at_o the_o law_n who_o have_v do_v he_o wrong_n a_o man_n may_v in_o a_o holy_a manner_n sue_v another_o for_o a_o injury_n as_o a_o soldier_n in_o lawful_a war_n may_v kill_v his_o enemy_n and_o yet_o

be_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o a_o private_a revenge_n &_o inward_a hatred_n which_o if_o we_o do_v not_o conceive_v we_o not_o forgive_v second_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o offence_n and_o have_v care_n that_o our_o do_n be_v not_o scandelous_a to_o the_o church_n three_o our_o suit_n must_v be_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o maintain_v godly_a peace_n for_o if_o all_o injury_n be_v put_v up_o there_o will_v be_v no_o civil_a state_n or_o government_n four_o that_o the_o party_n offend_v may_v be_v chastise_v and_o bring_v to_o repentance_n for_o his_o fault_n for_o if_o many_o be_v not_o repress_v they_o will_v grow_v worse_o five_o law_n must_v be_v the_o last_o remedy_n as_o physician_n use_v desperate_a remedy_n when_o weak_a will_n not_o serve_v even_o so_o must_v we_o use_v law_n as_o the_o last_o mean_n when_o all_o other_o fail_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o petition_n 1_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n 2_o god_n only_o forgive_v sin_n 3_o he_o forgive_v it_o through_o christ_n 4_o he_o forgive_v it_o to_o they_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v it_o 5_o we_o may_v know_v in_o ourselves_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v 6_o the_o envious_a man_n can_v have_v no_o pardon_n lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n the_o coherence_n this_o petition_n be_v join_v with_o the_o former_a to_o teach_v we_o that_o as_o we_o must_v careful_o pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n past_a so_o also_o we_o must_v endeavour_n to_o prevent_v sin_n to_o come_v we_o must_v not_o fall_v again_o into_o our_o old_a sin_n neither_o must_v we_o be_v overtake_v with_o new_a sin_n have_v obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o that_o we_o fall_v not_o again_o into_o they_o though_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o free_o we_o of_o natural_a corruption_n but_o that_o still_o remain_v and_o be_v leave_v behind_o as_o the_o very_a seed_n &_o spawn_n of_o new_a sin_n so_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o every_o one_o of_o god_n child_n have_v his_o hand_n full_a and_o enough_o to_o do_v to_o withstand_v sin_n after_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o sanctify_v therefore_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v object_v what_o need_v he_o care_v for_o temptation_n that_o have_v the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n answer_n because_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o grievous_a temptation_n be_v unseparable_a companion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o this_o world_n so_o beat_v and_o buffet_v with_o temptation_n as_o the_o penitent_a sinner_n that_o cry_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o estate_n that_o few_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v acquaint_v with_o for_o many_o be_v never_o trouble_v with_o temptation_n but_o live_v in_o all_o peace_n and_o quietness_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o when_o the_o strong_a man_n arm_v keep_v his_o house_n the_o thing_n that_o he_o possess_v be_v in_o peace_n luke_n 11.2_o whereby_o be_v signify_v that_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o world_n be_v possess_v of_o satan_n be_v not_o a_o whit_n molest_v by_o he_o with_o any_o temptation_n neither_o need_n he_o trouble_v they_o see_v he_o have_v they_o at_o commandment_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_n but_o when_o a_o man_n once_o begin_v at_o make_v conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o sue_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o pardon_n of_o his_o offence_n and_o still_o continue_v in_o dislike_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n than_o the_o enemy_n bestir_v he_o and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o bring_v that_o man_n to_o confusion_n objection_n some_o christian_a conscience_n may_v reason_v thus_o no_o man_n be_v so_o trouble_v with_o sin_n and_o satan_n as_o i_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o in_o god_n favour_n but_o be_o a_o plain_a castaway_n answer_n if_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o
