In the thanksgiving is included both a reason of the Petition; as also, a form of thanksgiving, as who should say, we do not presume we can do any thing, unless thou dost work in us ⟨p. 87⟩what thou requirest of us; For thine is the Kingdom. It is not in our power to do what we should, or what thou requirest of us; but the Kingdom is thine, all comes from thee, O Lord, and let all the glory of all be returned to thee again. Do we hallow thy name, and pray for thy Kingdom to come, and thy will be done? why? it is thou Lord, that must give the power; we beg all from thee, and this is included in the word power. For, as that we should say, we have no power to do any thing, do thou all Lord, and take thou the glory of all; so that is the ground why we beg all of him, and return all to him.
