What is the third Petition?

Thy Will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. That is, grant that we, and all Men, renouncing and forsaking our own Will, may readily, and without any grudging, obey thy Will, which is only holy; and that so every one of us may faithfully perform that Duty and Charge which thou hast committed unto us, even as the blessed Angels do in Heaven.
