This petition depends on the former most excellently. For in it is laid down the means to procure the first. Gods name must be hallowed among men: but how is it done? by the erecting of Gods kingdom in the hearts of men. We cannot glorify God until he rule in our hearts by his word and spirit.

Thy] This word doth put us in mind that there is two kingdoms: one Gods, and that is the kingdom of heaven: the other the devils, called the kingdom of darkness, Coloss. 1.13. For when all had sinned in Adam, God laid this punishment on all, that seeing they could not be content to obey their Creator, they should be in bondage under satan: so that by nature we are all the children of wrath, and the devil holds up the sceptre of his kingdom in the hearts of men. This kingdom is spiritual, and the pillars of it are ignorance, error, impiety, and all disobedience to God, in which the devil wholly delights; which also are as it were the laws of his kingdom.
