Q. Which is the second petition?
A. "Thy kingdom come"; that is, rule us so by thy word and Spirit, that we may submit ourselves more and more to thee;^a preserve and increase thy church;^b destroy the works of the devil, and all violence which would exalt itself against thee; and also all wicked counsels devised against thy holy word;^c till the full perfection of thy kingdom take place,^d wherein thou shalt be all in all.^e
