Hallowed be thy name.
41 The sum of the first petition, is,1 that we desire that God may have the honour whereof he is worthy, that men may never speak or think of him without great reverence: against which profaning is set. By Name, we mean his power, goodness, wisdom, righteousness, mercy, truth, which carry us to wonder at him, & provoke us to set forth his praise.2 Therefore we desire that that name may be sanctified, and that God will deliver that holy name from all reproach and contempt,3 yea that he will bring all mankind under his reverence: and that all ungodliness may be abolished.
