You must understand that to speak properly, these words are not to be understand of godnes inferior kingdom, of his earthly kingdom, as1 though it did hang upon our petitions, so that he could not be Lord and ruler over the earth, except we pray for ⟨p. 16⟩him. No, we pray not for his inferior kingdom to come, for it is come already: he ruleth and governeth all things2 He is called in scripture Rex regum, The king above all kin3 ges, Dominus dominantium, the lord above all lords, therefore be ruleth and governeth all things, according to his will and pleasure, as scripture saith, Voluntati eius quis resi4 stet, who will withstand his will.
