Qu. 1. WHy is this made the Second Petition?
A. To tell us, that it must be the Second thing in our Desires. We are to begin at that which is highest, most excellent, and ultimate in our Intentions, and that is, Gods Glory shining in all his Works, and seen, admired, honoured and praised by Man, which is the hallowing of his Name, and the Holy Exalting him in our Thoughts, Affections, Words and Actions above all Creatures. And we ⟨p. 193⟩are next to desire that in which God's glory most eminently shineth: And that is his Kingdom of Grace and Glory.
