Further this petition hath an addition Quemadmodum in coelo, as it is in heaven, the writers make two manner of heavens,1 a spiritual heaven, & a temporal heaven. The spiritual heaven to where gods will is fully done, where the angels be, which do the will and pleasure of god without dilation. Now when we say, As it is in heaven, we pray god that2 we may do his will as perfectly as the angels do. Ensamples in Scripture we have many which teach us the diligent service which the angels do unto the Lord.

When king David fell in a presumption, so that he commanded his captain Joab to number his pcople, which1 thing was against the Lord, and Joab did naughtily in obeying the king in such things, but he went and numbered eight hundred thousand, and five hundred thousand men, able to fight, beside women and children. For this act God was angry with David, and sent his Prophets which told him that God would plague him, and bad him to choose whether he would have. vii. years hunger, or that his enemies should prevail against him three months long, or to have. iii. dais […] silence. He made answer, saying. It is better to fall into the hands of god, then of men: and so chose pestilence. After that within three days there died three score and ten thousand.
