that_o these_o three_o first_o petition_n of_o this_o prayer_n by_o consent_n of_o most_o interpreter_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v whole_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o concern_v god_n only_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v conclude_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o here_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n by_o which_o god_n rule_v in_o his_o church_n at_o large_a and_o particular_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o

since_o god_n begin_v the_o world_n begin_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o proceed_v in_o the_o conversation_n and_o gubernation_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o be_v conclude_v that_o no_o other_o kingdom_n

to_o he_o when_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o which_o objection_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o dispute_n be_v false_a and_o fallacious_a that_o only_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v desire_v in_o the_o three_o first_o petition_n without_o respect_n have_v at_o all_o to_o ourselves_o for_o in_o the_o first_o petition_n when_o we_o desire_v of_o god_n the_o hallow_n
