    Which is the fifth petition?

    “And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors;”a that is, be pleased for the sake of Christ’s blood,b not to impute to us poor sinners, our transgressions, nor that depravity, which always cleaves to us; even as we feel this evidence of thy grace in us, that it is our firm resolution, from the heart, to forgive our neighbour.c
