Since so much depends upon our Forgiving oth, we sha pray daily for a Forgiving Temper-That God wd inspire us wth this Grace. Our own Pardon depends upon our Forgiving othTM-we are not to expect forgiveness any furth' than we forgive othrs. [See S. Aug.

Forgive us, especially all those who have faln into sin by my Fault, by my Example, &c. Forgive us, my enemies especially-Forgive and it shall be Forgiven-Blessed be God for so reasonable a Condition. We use it as an Argumt wth God to forgive us, "Forgive us our sins, for we forgive every one yt has offended us." Luk. xi. 4. Forgive-wth all our Hearts,-for so we desire God to forgive us. To do ym good. The repeating these words ought to Humble us, since there is occasion as often as we Pray to ask forgiveness.
