Ludolph the Carthusian - Life of Christ tr. Milton Walsh - Part 1 Chapter 37 page 700.
Chrystotom [Orat Do, 22-23 PL 4:535A PL=Patrologia Latina] warns,
"He did not say that God would first forgive us, and then afterwards we would forgive those who trespass against us. God knows that people are liars: even if they receive forgiveness, they do not forgive those who sin against them. So he instructs us to forgive first, and only then afterwards to ask to be forgiven."
