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

THE corruption, which in this petition we ought to mourn for, is, the continual rebellion of our wicked natures; & our proneness to yield up our selves in every temptation to sin, and Satan. And the remnants of the old bondage under Satan, must be grievous and irksome unto us, and we must bewail it very bitterly. The Jews in a bodily captivity, wept when they remembered Zion. Psal. 127. Howe much more should we weep, when we feel the law of our members rebelling against the law of our minds, & leading us captive to sin.
