Be done] According to the Scripture there be two degrees of1 doing Gods will; the first is prescribed in the Gospel, to wit, a sincere ⟨p. 277⟩endeavour and strife according to all the power of grace that God hath given us, to do the will of God; and this especially is here meant. The second is commanded in the Law, and it is a fulfilling of Gods2 will, doing that which God commandeth in that manner of perfection which he commandeth: but this is not attained unto in this life: and therefore our desire of God in this petition is, that he would give us grace, sincerely to endeavour to do his whole will here on earth, and to hasten that time and state unto us, wherein we shall do it perfectly as the Law requires.
