The coherence. Hitherto we have handled the petitions that concern Gods glory; now we come to the petitions that concern our selves, as the word Us, doth plainly show, in these three which follow: and they depend upon the former, as an explication of the manner of ⟨p. 284⟩our obedience; for there we asked grace to do Gods will; and here we pray for those blessings and mercies wherein we may express our obedience; for we do Gods will, when we depend upon his providence for the blessings of this life; when we rely upon his mercy, for the pardon of our sins, and trust in his power for strength against temptation and deliverance from evil. Now then to come particularly to this fourth petition; having in the former craved grace to do Gods will in our particular callings, here we pray for such sufficiency of all temporal blessings, whereby we may glorify God therein.
