1. The Coherence
Will] Here it signifies God's word written in the old and new testament: For in his word his will is revealed. Of the whole will of God there be three special points, which are in this place meant. 1. To believe in Christ (John 6:40): This is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes in him, should have everlasting life. 2. Sanctification of body and soul (1 Thessalonians 4:3): This is the will of God, even your sanctification, etc. 3. The bearing of affliction in this life (Romans 8:29): Those which he knew before, he did predestinate to be made like to the image of his own son. Philippians 3:10: That I might know him and the virtue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable to his death.
Your will] Not mine: for man's own will is wicked and corrupt, yea it is flat enmity to God (Romans 8:5).
Done] That is, obeyed and accomplished of men. Then the effect of the prayer is this: O Lord, seeing you are our king, give us grace to show ourselves good subjects in obeying your will.
