In other words, we pray that we, and all mankind, may do the whole will of God in all things, and nothing else, not the least thing but what is the holy and acceptable will of God. We pray that we may do the whole will of God as he wills, in the manner that pleases him. And lastly, that we may do it because it is his will, that this may be the sole reason and ground, the whole and only motive, of whatever we think, or whatever we speak or do.

In other words, we pray, that we and all mankind, may do the whole will of God in all things: and nothing else, not the least thing but what is the holy and acceptable will of God. We pray that we may do the whole will of God as he willeth, in the manner that pleases him: and lastly, that we may do it, because it is his will: that this may be the sole reason and ground, the whole and only motive of whatsoever we think, or whatsoever we speak or do.
