THE glory of God, which from all Eternity¹ did shine in and to himself, it hath further pleased him, both to manifest in the exercising of a Kingdom, and to enlarge, by taking honour unto him. Therefore, our Saviour in the Lords Prayer, after the Name of God, comprehending his nature and persons, which hitherto have been handled, addeth these other two: Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, &c. By the one he ruleth, by the other his rule is obeyed. This, to speak properly, is not any other Kingdom then that which he had before, but the actual exercise, and putting into practice of that Kingdom or Sovereignty, which is of his very nature, as our Saviour doth distinguish them, Matth. 6. when saying, Thy Kingdom come, &c. he addeth by and by, For thine is the Kingdom, &c.

1. 1God being thus in his nature and Persons most glorious, hath further embroidered himself in glory, by two notes of excellency which he taketh to him, Kingdom and Hanour. Kingdom is that whereby he doth excite an absolute sovereignty toward other. The order whereof, answerable to the relation between the persons themselves, is from the Father in the Sonne, by the Holy Ghost; to whom is attributed the immediate doing of them.God being thus in his nature and Persons most glorious, hath further embroidered himselfe in glory, by two notes of excellency which he taketh to him, Kingdom and Hanour.
