Therefore he that prayeth thus. ⟨image 188⟩Thy kingdom come, he prayeth, nothing else, but that God will give us grace, that we may rest from our own proper wills, that we do not those things that delight the body, and please our appetites, but that we may suffer God, by his holy word & spirit, to work in us holy works, that so the third commandment may be fulfilled. Remember that thou sanctify the sabbath day. For so doth Isaiah declare this commandment,1 saying. If thou work not after thine own will, in my holy day, than thou shalt be called a pleasant rest, to sanctify and honour the Lord, if thou honour him so, that thou work not after thine own ways, nor find the means to follow thine own will, nor speak thine own pleasure, than shalt thou have pleasure in ⟨p. clxvi⟩the Lord. For all these things therefore good children, ought you to pray to God, that his kingdom may come, that he will here in earth begin his kingdom in us, that we may obey him in such wise as you have heard.
Therfore he that praieth thus. ⟨image 188⟩Thy kingdome come, he prayeth, nothynge elles, but that God wil gyue vs grace, that we maye rest from our own propre willes, that we do not those thynges that delyte the body, and please oure appetites, but that we maye suffre God, by his holy worde & spirite, to worke in vs holy workes, that so the thirde cōmaundement maye be fulfilled. Remembre that thou sanctifye the sabboth daye. For so doth Esaye declare this commaū dement,1 saying. If thou worke not after thine own wyl, in my holy day, than thou shalt be called a pleasant rest, to sanctifye and honoure the Lorde, yf thou honoure him so, that thou worke not after thyne owne wayes, nor fynde the meanes to folowe thyne own wil, nor speake thyne owne pleasure, than shalt thou haue pleasure in ⟨p. clxvi⟩the Lorde. For all these thynges therfore good children, ought you to praye to God, that hys kyngdome maye come, that he wil here in earth begynne his kyngdome in vs, that we maye obey him in suche wyse as you haue herde.
