Which is the fifth petition?

"And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors"; that is, be pleased for the sake of Christ's blood, not to impute to us poor sinners, our transgressions, nor that depravity, which always cleaves to us; [373] even as we feel this evidence of thy grace in us, that it is our firm resolution from the heart to forgive our neighbour. [374]
