Fiat voluntas tua,) thy will be done. After this form our saviour a perfect schoolmaster taught Christen people to pray. Our father¹ which art in heaven, thy will be done. And here he teacheth us two things as he did afore in the other petitions. First he teacheth us to understand what we be of our selves namely² nothing at all, not able to do any thing pleasant unto god: and so he […] us down, cutteth of our combs, bringeth us low, which else […] be proud, as though we could do somewhat, that we cannot do in deed, like, as ⟨image 29⟩these merits mongers do, which esteem themselves after³ their merits, think themselves perfect: in so much that their works shall not only help themselves, but also others: therefore they take in hand to sell them for money. These fellows know not themselves, and therefore they do contrary unto this petition. Where our saviour […] us that we can do nothing of our selves. They (contrary to that petition) will do all things alone, and with their merits⁴ bring to pass all matters. But our saviour contrary to that teacheth us two things in this petition. First he pulleth down our stomachs, and teacheth us to know our selves. Secondarily he showeth us what we shall do, namely, call upon god our heavenly father that he will help us, that we may be able to do his will. For of our own selves we are not able to doc any thing acceptable unto him. And this is a good doctrine which admonisheth us to give all praise unto God, and not to ascribe it to our own selves. For so dyed saint Paul when he sayde, omnia possum in eo qui comfortat
