An exposycyon vpon the v.vi.vii. chapters of Mathewe which thre chapters are the keye and the dore of the scrypture, and the restoring agayne of Moses lawe corrupt by ye scrybes and pharyses. And the exposycyon is the restorynge agayne of Chrystes lawe corrupte by the Papystes. Item before the boke, thou hast a prologe very necessary, conteynynge the whole sum of the couenaunt made betwene God and vs, vpon whiche we be baptysed to kepe it. And after thou haste a table that ledeth the by the notes in the margentes, vnto al that is intreated of in the booke.

Thy wyl befulfylled in erthe / as it is in heuen.

This is al one with that goeth before. For as muche then as thou art father and kyng ouer all, and all we thy chyldren and brethren a∣monge our selues, make vs all as obedyent to seke and to do thy wyll as the aungelles do in heuen. Make that no mā seke his owne wyl but all thyne. But and yf thou withdrawe thyne hande to tempte thy chyldren, that the rulers commaunde ought contrarye to thy wyll / then make the subiectes to stande fast by thy worde and to offer them selues to suffer all extremyte, rather then to obey. Fynally when we pray to the in our tēptacions and aduersites desirynge the of what so euer thynge it be, & meane truely yet yf thou that knowest al, seyst a better waye to thy glorye and our profyte, then they wylbe and not oures. As thy son Iesus gaue vs an en∣sample / whē he desyred (if it had ben possible) that / that cuppe of better deth myght haue de∣perted from hym sayenge, yet not as I wyl, but as thou wylt.
