An exposition of the Lords prayer in the way of catechism By William PerkinsAn exposition of the Lords praier in the way of catechisme By William Perkins

This is the fifth petition, & the second of those which concern our selves: in the former we craved temporal blessings, in this ⟨image 52⟩and the next which followeth, we crave spiritual blessings. Where we may note, that seeing there be two petitions, which concern spiritual things, & but one for temporal; that the care for our souls must be double, to the care for our bodies. In the world men care for their bodies, their hearts are set for wealth and promotion: they can be content to hear the word on the Sabbath, yet neither then, nor in the week day do they lay it up in their hearts, and practise it, which argues, that they have little or no care for their souls.
