For he was a perfect schoolmaster, else he would not have commaū dead us to pray: Fiat voluntas tua. Thy will be done. Here we must understand that the will of god is to be considered after two sorts. First, as it is omnipotent, unsearchable, and1 that can not be known unto us. Now we do not pray that his will so considered be done. For his will so considered is and ever shall be fulfilled, though we would say nay to it. For ⟨p. 23⟩nothing either in heaven or in earth is able to withstand his will. Wherefore it were but folly for us to pray to have it fulfilled otherwise then to show thereby that we […] our consent to his will, which is to us unsearchable.
