Prologus I: Expositio super orationem Dominicam.

Caput III: Adveniat regnum tuum.

Thy kingdom come.

He easily falls into false reasoning who does not know the meanings of the words. It must be known that this word kingdom has a manifold acceptation in theology. For sometimes it is called the kingdom, this worldly machine; sometimes the supercelestial region in which Christ is in the flesh, and the blessed Virgin; sometimes the present Church; sometimes the faithful soul. The first kingdom, then, is material, the second and third spiritual, the fourth moral.

Let us expound the text thus: let it come, that is, let it come to the seeing of you, thy kingdom, that is, the present Church, or any faithful soul, inflamed with the desire of seeing what eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man¹. There follows:
