Forgive us our trespasses
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. As nothing but sin can hinder the bounty of God from flowing forth upon every creature, so this petition naturally follows the former, so that, all hindrances being removed, we may the more clearly trust in the God of love for every manner of thing which is good.

As nothing but sin can hinder the bounty of God from flowing forth upon every creature, so this petition naturally follows the former; that all hindrances being removed, we may the more clearly trust in the God of love, for every manner of thing which is good.
