in vain we pray, Panem nostrum da nobis quotidianum, Give us this day our daily bread: For this is to attempt to have it whether God will or no: he does not give it, but we snatch it. Whiles we are indulgent to our darling sins, and will not part with the dear delight of our bloods, in vain we pray, Dimitte nobis debita nostra, Forgive us our trespasses. Whiles we seek to revenge our wrongs upon others, and bear malice in our hears; our Sicut nos dimittimus, As we forgive them that trespass against us, doth but beg for vengeance upon our own heads. All the while that we listen to the suggestions of Satan, and like the allurements of the world, and awaken our own lusts to tempt our selves; it is but a mockery to pray, In tentationem ne nos inducas, lead us not into temptation. While we seek that which is evil, and study that which is evil, and run with greediness into evil; in vain we pray, Liber a nos à malo, Deliver us from evil. We do but flatter God, and complement with him, when we conclude with Tuum est regnam, potentia, & gloria; Thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory; for it is our own glory we seeks after, not his. All this cannot keep him from being angry with our prayers. So long as his people rebelleth, he will be angry with his people that prayeth. For some Use.
