Thy will be fulfilled in earth / as it is in heaven.
Thy wyl befulfylled in erthe / as it is in heuen.
This is all one with that goeth before. For as much then as thou art father and king over all, and all we thy children and brethren among our selves, make us all as obedient to seek and to do thy will as the angels do in heaven. Make that no man seek his own will but all thine. But and if thou withdraw thine hand to tempt thy children, that the rulers command ought contrary to thy will / then make the subjects to stand fast by thy word and to offer them selves to suffer all extremity, rather then to obey. Finally when we pray to the in our temptations and adversities desiring the of what so ever thing it be, & mean truly yet if thou that knowest all, seest a better way to thy glory and our profit, then they will be and not ours. As thy son Jesus gave us an ensample / when he desired (if it had ben possible) that / that cup of better death might have departed from him saying, yet not as I will, but as thou wilt.
This is al one with that goeth before. For as muche then as thou art father and kyng ouer all, and all we thy chyldren and brethren amonge our selues, make vs all as obedyent to seke and to do thy wyll as the aungelles do in heuen. Make that no mā seke his owne wyl but all thyne. But and yf thou withdrawe thyne hande to tempte thy chyldren, that the rulers commaunde ought contrarye to thy wyll / then make the subiectes to stande fast by thy worde and to offer them selues to suffer all extremyte, rather then to obey. Fynally when we pray to the in our tēptacions and aduersites desirynge the of what so euer thynge it be, & meane truely yet yf thou that knowest al, seyst a better waye to thy glorye and our profyte, then they wylbe and not oures. As thy son Iesus gaue vs an ensample / whē he desyred (if it had ben possible) that / that cuppe of better deth myght haue deperted from hym sayenge, yet not as I wyl, but as thou wylt.
