Philemon. We are in the Lords hand as the clay in the potters,1 to do with us what so ever his good pleasure is. Therefore let us not bear heavily this work of God in our neighbour, least we seem to strive against his godly will, seeing we use daily to pray.2 Thy will be don in earth as it is in heaven, having also an example of our saviour Christ which prayed unto his heavenly father on this manner. Not as I will, but as thou wilt, o father.3
