§. 70. Of the order of the third Petition.
Q. TO which of the former Petitions hath this third Petition reference?
A. To both of them.
To the first as a manifestation of the truth of our desire to hallow Gods Name. For no such evidence can be given thereof, as a true and through subjection of our selves in all things to the will of God. Then is Gods Name most hallowed, when his will is best done. Of all places, in heaven is Gods Name most hallowed, because there his will is best done: for which end Christ doth here set them in heaven before us for a pattern therein.
