In the third petition (which is, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven,)¹ acknowledging, that by nature we and all men are not only utterly unable and unwilling to know and do the will of God,² but prone to rebel against his word,³ to repine and murmur against his providence,⁴ and wholly inclined to do the will of the flesh, and of the devil:⁵ we pray, that God would by his Spirit take away from ourselves and others all blindness,⁶ weakness,⁷ indisposedness,⁸ and perverseness of heart;⁹ and by his grace make us able and willing to know, do, and submit to his will in all things,[10] with the like humility,[11] cheerfulness,[12] faithfulness,[13] diligence,[14] zeal,[15] sincerity,[16] and constancy,[17] as the angels do in heaven.[18]
