That we may yet the better understand the meaning of this petition,1 we must know that Gods name is hallowed or sanctified of us 2. ways; either in God himself, or in his works: In himself by 3. actions; 1. when we conceive of God in our minds, and acknowledge him as he hath revealed himself in his word; to wit, creator & governor of all things, most holy, most wise, just, merciful. &c. 2. When we asanctify the Lord in our hearts: that is, when we love him above all, & fear him above all, & put our trust in him in him in all estates. 3. When we praise and laud the name of God, for his goodness; yea, though we should never taste of his special favour, yet for his general mercy, justice, and most wise providence, we ought to extol the Lord with our mouths.
