1In praying that God may get glory by the godly conversation of us and others; also, that we may praise him for his benefits more particularly: for humility for our selves and others, without which we cannot glorify God as it is meet:2 from whence ariseth patience, whereby we do willingly submit our selves unto the correcting hand of God, as Ely and Hezekiah. We pray against all lofty and high things, that hinder that God only cannot be exalted, especially the pride of our hearts, which we are to confess and lament. It is lastly a singular hallowing of Gods name, as well by praising it for the benefits we have received, as for his other wonderful works in the Creation and government of the world, the Church especially.
