yea_o and_o mercy_n itself_o hence_o may_v we_o learn_v 1._o that_o our_o forgive_a one_o another_o be_v not_o of_o the_o sin_n but_o of_o the_o injury_n and_o damage_n against_o our_o own_o person_n 2._o they_o that_o look_v for_o pardon_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n from_o god_n be_v to_o remit_v the_o trespass_n do_v against_o themselves_o to_o their_o brethren_n 3._o that_o the_o merciful_a may_v

therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v tempter_n ourselves_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o evil_a but_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a this_o be_v as_o the_o explanation_n show_v how_o far_o we_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v lead_v into_o temptation_n to_o wit_n so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v not_o leave_v in_o the_o danger_n and_o destruction_n thereof_o whence_o we_o learn_v 1._o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v simple_o not_o to_o be_v tempt_v at_o all_o but_o respective_o as_o it_o may_v be_v evil_a and_o sinful_a to_o us._n 2._o that_o evil_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o desire_v to_o be_v free_v from_o 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n power_n to_o free_v himself_o from_o evil_a in_o time_n of_o temptation_n 4._o that_o god_n only_o can_v and_o will_v free_v he_o from_o evil_n for_o what_o we_o be_v will_v to_o ask_v that_o we_o may_v look_v to_o obtain_v of_o god_n 5._o that_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o our_o brethren_n that_o evil_o seize_v not_o upon_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o overcome_v in_o temptation_n the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v in_o part_n a_o reason_n why_o we_o ask_v all_o these_o of_o god_n partly_o a_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n with_o a_o

afford_v us._n and_o in_o that_o the_o conclusion_n follow_v the_o six_o petition_n we_o learn_v that_o these_o contain_v all_o thing_n needful_a to_o be_v ask_v of_o god_n either_o for_o his_o glory_n or_o our_o safety_n else_o will_v christ_n have_v add_v more_o for_o thou_o be_v kingdom_n power_n and_o glory_n for_o ever_o we_o be_v teach_v here_o what_o to_o make_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o request_n and_o what_o to_o ascribe_v unto_o god_n whence_o we_o learn_v 1._o that_o soveraginty_a power_n and_o glory_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n and_o to_o he_o to_o be_v ascribe_v 2._o that_o these_o three_o with_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o eternity_n thereof_o be_v strong_a confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o prayer_n 3._o that_o god_n kingdom_n power_n and_o glory_n be_v
