from_o their_o fall_n q._n what_o be_v that_o kingdom_n which_o in_o this_o petition_n we_o pray_v may_v come_v a._n not_o the_o universal_a kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o world_n for_o his_o dominion_n therein_o be_v always_o the_o same_o but_o only_o the_o peculiar_a kingdom_n which_o be_v his_o church_n and_o more_o especial_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v militant_a on_o earth_n q._n in_o what_o respect_n may_v god_n kingdom_n be_v say_v to_o come_v a._n in_o three_o 1._o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n which_o be_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n for_o where_o these_o be_v disperse_v there_o god_n kingdom_n be_v erect_v 2._o second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o this_o mean_n in_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n whereby_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o invisible_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n 3._o three_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o than_o god_n kingdom_n come_v when_o the_o saint_n grave_n be_v increase_v when_o their_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n and_o when_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v consummate_v in_o glory_n q._n what_o do_v we_o pray_v for_o when_o we_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v a._n 1._o first_o that_o god_n shall_v plant_v his_o church_n where_o it_o be_v not_o that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n 2._o second_o that_o his_o ordinance_n may_v be_v pure_o and_o powerful_o administer_v his_o word_n true_o preach_v which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o his_o sacrament_n due_o dispense_v which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o it_o 3._o three_o that_o god_n will_v send_v into_o his_o church_n able_a and_o faithful_a minister_n to_o be_v faithful_a steward_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n 4._o four_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n may_v be_v successful_a to_o the_o conversion_n of_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o 5._o five_o that_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v keep_v from_o error_n schism_n superstition_n and_o idolatry_n and_o that_o true_a doctrine_n and_o due_a discipline_n may_v be_v continue_v in_o they_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n q._n but_o may_v we_o not_o pray_v also_o for_o the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o heaven_n a._n we_o may_v for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o what_o be_v promise_v 1._o first_o that_o the_o number_n of_o they_o may_v be_v complete_v 2._o second_o that_o their_o person_n may_v be_v complete_v that_o the_o body_n of_o those_o saint_n which_o now_o sleep_v in_o the_o dust_n may_v be_v raise_v unite_a to_o their_o soul_n and_o both_o make_v eternal_o glorious_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n q._n be_v not_o this_o pray_n for_o the_o dead_a so_o just_o condemn_v of_o popish_a superstition_n a._n no_o for_o we_o pray_v not_o for_o another_o state_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v when_o they_o pray_v for_o soul_n to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o purgatory_n but_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o same_o state_n in_o which_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a already_o be_v we_o pray_v not_o for_o their_o release_n out_o of_o torment_n but_o for_o a_o joyful_a resurrection_n which_o both_o they_o and_o we_o expect_v and_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_n may_v well_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o our_o prayer_n q._n which_o be_v the_o three_o petition_n a._n thy_o will_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n q._n how_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n distinguish_v a._n into_o the_o will_n of_o his_o purpose_n or_o the_o will_n of_o his_o precept_n or_o into_o his_o secret_a and_o reveal_v will._n q._n what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n purpose_n a._n his_o eternal_a counsel_n and_o decree_n whereby_o he_o have_v fore-ordained_n whatsoever_o come_v to_o pass_v q._n what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n precept_n a._n his_o holy_a law_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n wherein_o he_o have_v reveal_v to_o we_o the_o duty_n we_o ought_v to_o perform_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o eternal_a life_n q._n how_o do_v these_o two_o will_n differ_v a._n 1._o first_o in_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v by_o his_o will_n of_o purpose_n that_o he_o have_v not_o will_v by_o his_o will_n of_o precept_n for_o god_n command_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v holy_a yet_o he_o purpose_v to_o permit_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v evil._n 2._o second_o in_o that_o we_o may_v effectual_o resist_v his_o will_n of_o precept_n so_o as_o to_o hinder_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o it_o as_o we_o do_v whensoever_o we_o sin_n but_o we_o can_v resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n purpose_n though_o many_o time_n to_o endeavour_v it_o be_v our_o indispensible_a duty_n q._n ought_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n a._n yes_o to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o precept_n for_o that_o alone_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o obedience_n but_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o conform_v to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o purpose_n may_v involve_v we_o in_o the_o great_a gild_n act_n 2.23_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determinate_a counsel_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n you_o have_v take_v and_o by_o wicked_a hand_n have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v q._n be_v there_o not_o then_o a_o manifest_a repugnance_n between_o god_n will_n of_o purpose_n and_o of_o precept_n a._n no_o for_o the_o object_n of_o god_n will_n of_o purpose_n be_v event_n but_o of_o his_o will_n of_o precept_n duty_n and_o it_o be_v no_o contradiction_n for_o god_n to_o will_n or_o permit_v that_o to_o be_v which_o he_o have_v will_v or_o command_v we_o not_o to_o do_v q._n which_o of_o these_o do_v we_o pray_v may_v be_v do_v a._n we_o especial_o and_o absolute_o pray_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n precept_n may_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n q._n what_o consideration_n may_v excite_v we_o to_o be_v earnest_a in_o this_o request_n a._n first_o because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a reluctancy_n in_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n against_o the_o holy_a will_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o ought_v earnest_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o by_o his_o grace_n will_v subdue_v it_o second_o because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v deep_o concern_v in_o do_v his_o will_n for_o by_o this_o we_o own_o his_o sovereignty_n and_o our_o subjection_n to_o his_o law_n and_o kingdom_n three_o because_o our_o own_o interest_n be_v deep_o concern_v in_o it_o for_o it_o be_v only_o by_o do_v his_o will_n we_o can_v inherit_v the_o promise_n rev._n 22.14_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o do_v his_o commandment_n q._n ought_v we_o not_o absolute_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_n of_o purpose_n may_v be_v do_v a._n no_o and_o that_o because_o many_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v by_o this_o will_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v against_o as_o temporal_a evil_n and_o the_o permission_n of_o sin_n q._n how_o then_o do_v the_o saint_n in_o scripture_n pray_v for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o will_n of_o god_n as_o in_o 1_o sam._n 3.18_o and_o samuel_n tell_v he_o every_o whit_n and_o hide_v nothing_o from_o he_o and_o he_o say_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a 2_o sam._n 15.26_o but_o if_o he_o thus_o say_v i_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o thou_o behold_v here_o be_o i_o let_v he_o do_v to_o i_o as_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o act_n 21.14_o and_o when_o he_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v we_o cease_v say_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v do_v and_o our_o saviour_n luke_n 22.42_o say_v father_n if_o thou_o be_v willing_a remove_v this_o cup_n from_o i_o nevertheless_o
