Which is the second petition?

"Thy kingdom come"; that is, rule us so by thy word and Spirit, that we may submit ourselves more and more to thee; [360] preserve and increase thy church; [361] 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; [362] till the full perfection of thy kingdom take place, [363] wherein thou shalt be all in all.
