When we say, Hallowed be thy name: we desire God that he thorough his goodness will remove and put away all things that may let and stop the honour of his name. But I fear me there be many which would not that it should be so: We desire here that God will remove all infidelity, we require that all witchcrafts be removed, that art magic and sorcery be pulled out, necromancy taken away: and so nothing left but his holy word, wherewith we may daily praise the name of God. For I fear me there1 be a great many in England which use such sorceries to the dishonour of God and their own damnation. We require here further that all heresy, all popery may be abolished and extinguished. Further we require here that all wicked living may be amended and reformed. Next we require that all magistrates may do their duties. Finally we require that every man in his vocation may do the work whereunto god hath called him. There be many vocations.
