For thine is the kingdom, thine is the power, thine is the glory for ever.
For thine is the kingdome, thine is the power, thine is the glory for euer.
AS in the beginning of this prayer by these words (our father which art in heaven) thy children are excited & stirred up to a full confidence of obtaining the petitions following & all things necessary: So in y• latter end ⟨image 30⟩thou hast added for the same purpose, these words (For thine is the kingdom thin is &c) Wherein I am taught these many things: First that in prayer I should have such consideration of thy kingdom, power, glory and eternity, that my mind should be stricken with an admiration of the same. Secondly that I should so consider them, especially in prayer, that I should not doubt, but that thou workest, rulest & governest all things every where in all persons and creatures, most wisely, justly, and mercifully. Thirdly that in prayer all my petitions should tend to the setting forth of thy power, of thy kingdom, and of thy glory. Last of all that in prayer I should in no wise doubt of being heard but be assured, that thou which hast commanded me to pray, and hast promised to here me, doest most graciously for thy mercies sake and truths sake hear my petitions, according to thy good will through Jesus Christ thy dear son our lord and only saviour.
