A86523	A briefe exposition of the Lords Prayer: wherein the meaning of the word is laid open to the understanding of weake Christians, and what the carriage of their hearts ought to be in preferring each petition. / By Mr. Tho. Hooker preacher of Gods word.	Hooker, Thomas, 1586-1647.	1645 (1645)	Wing H2642; Thomason E273_1; ESTC R212190	49,778	95

deal_n of_o envy_n though_o some_o mercy_n yet_o mingle_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o cruelty_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n with_o this_o little_a starlight_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v

for_o we_o forgive_v other_o how_o ought_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v frame_v in_o put_v up_o this_o petition_n quest_n quest_n it_o appear_v in_o four_o particular_n answ_n answ_n first_o the_o soul_n

1_o cor._n 11._o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v he_o that_o will_v have_v god_n forgive_v he_o must_v not_o forgive_v himself_o if_o we_o judge_v ourselves_o god_n will_v not_o judge_v we_o as_o a_o malefactor_n that_o stick_v to_o his_o own_o innocence_n and_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v any_o guilt_n in_o vain_a he_o desire_v to_o be_v forgive_v so_o a_o

how_o a_o papist_n can_v beg_v this_o when_o as_o he_o think_v he_o can_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n himself_o second_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o have_v the_o heart_n see_v its_o own_o inability_n to_o

be_v come_v to_o this_o who_o can_v abide_v it_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v pardon_v whatsoever_o be_v amiss_o wherever_o the_o sinner_n go_v he_o can_v avoid_v the_o suit_n he_o need_v no_o pursuivant_n to_o follow_v he_o conscience_n be_v arrest_v the_o devil_n accuse_v therefore_o he_o fall_v down_o and_o cry_v mercy_n mercy_n to_o pardon_v the_o suit_n the_o soul_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o suit_n this_o the_o church_n complain_v of_o behold_v our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o menstruous_a cloth_n and_o they_o ezek._n 36.31_o judge_v themselves_o worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v now_o in_o that_o i_o say_v forgive_v i_o imply_v that_o i_o can_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n myself_o three_o we_o shall_v seek_v to_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o grace_n for_o what_o we_o need_v we_o shall_v acknowledge_v his_o free_a mercy_n when_o the_o soul_n see_v there_o be_v mercy_n in_o god_n for_o he_o than_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o pray_v this_o petition_n for_o shall_v i_o conceive_v god_n be_v severe_a holy_a just_a etc._n etc._n though_o i_o renounce_v my_o sin_n yet_o i_o can_v not_o seek_v he_o god_n be_v not_o extreme_a and_o rigorous_a but_o he_o have_v mercy_n in_o store_n for_o those_o that_o seek_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n therefore_o we_o shall_v apprehend_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o god_n desire_v not_o to_o deal_v rigorous_o we_o shall_v persuade_v our_o heart_n that_o god_n be_v desirous_a to_o welcome_v our_o prayer_n exod._n 34._o the_o lord_n be_v ready_a to_o succour_v our_o infirmity_n if_o we_o be_v in_o misery_n the_o lord_n will_v abound_v in_o mercy_n the_o phrase_n be_v multiply_v mercy_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v he_o the_o father_n of_o mercy_n and_o the_o god_n of_o all_o compassion_n we_o have_v new_a vexation_n he_o have_v new_a compassion_n nay_o god_n have_v more_o good_a than_o we_o can_v desire_v he_o perform_v more_o than_o he_o promise_v he_o be_v abundant_a in_o truth_n above_o all_o that_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o to_o be_v in_o his_o word_n isa_n 55.7_o our_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o abundant_a in_o forgiveness_n he_o multiply_v pardon_n he_o have_v pardon_n in_o store_n mercy_n to_o pardon_v any_o poor_a soul_n but_o say_v the_o soul_n what_o my_o sin_n commit_v and_o continue_v in_o mark_v what_o he_o add_v though_o you_o can_v comprehend_v it_o yet_o he_o can_v conceive_v it_o his_o thought_n of_o mercy_n be_v large_a in_o give_v then_o we_o in_o crave_v eph._n 2._o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v above_o what_o we_o can_v think_v or_o ask_v it_o be_v but_o a_o cold_a comfort_n isaac_n give_v to_o esau_n he_o have_v but_o one_o blessing_n so_o if_o god_n mercy_n come_v to_o a_o end_n it_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a comfort_n when_o the_o soul_n say_v lord_n give_v i_o and_o the_o lord_n shall_v say_v all_o be_v draw_v dry_a but_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o god_n to_o do_v we_o good_a what_o avail_v it_o if_o a_o father_n have_v a_o
