Therefore the Church must judge For the proof of his assumtion euen the Lords prayer is brought a Text dayly in use ever since the Apostles tymes and if he can perswade corruption to be therein he may better doe for other places lesse in use In his Latin Translation this sentence is left out and in his Arabik powre and glorie for ever Amen And we follow him his Latin coppie still in our Common Prayer Book made from his Latin Translation and not from the Greeke Original to make this sure against our selues That the Church not the word should judge that so often as we say the Lords Prayer so often we should help the Pope for the Churches authoritie against the Kingdome Powre and Glorie of Christ and his Word Hence Gregorie Martin the Popes Factor doth triumph against that sentence and doth call it by Erasmus testimonie a trifling Addition and well might he be bold against us seing we joyne with him against our selues And if we had once used the sentence as S. Matthew doth in repetition left it out as S. Luke doth all abridgers in Scripture alter somewhat in speach according as their argument and present scope requireth then we had neyther holpen the Pope nor hurt our selues In S. Matth. chapt 5. 6. 7. our Lord his sermon handleth the Talmudique Common place for the kingdome of MESSIAS upon this Law You shall make you a King over you of your Brethren he sheweth that his kingdom is of the poore in spirit for the meeke for the mourners for the hungrie after justice for the persequuted and such And in the Prayer lappeth the Kingdome from Dan. 7. where the poore Iewes are defended against the four Beasts that come out of the Seas and perished before our Lord his comming in the flesh So to this sense the sentence was most glorious but to bare prayer as the Apostles required a forme it was not easie to consider it without further discourse for men that looked for glorie on the earth and so S. Luke omitted it because it was ynough to be spoken once if we had followed now the one and now the other we had honoured both But now we joyne with the Popes Latine Translation of mans wit and slight mayming of the Bible and that which hath no authoritie against the holy Greeke Original which hath the powre of him that framed all the World and bewtified the heauens by his spirit Professed Scholars that cannot see how they following the Pope betray their forts and holds to the enimie may wel be holden Batts and Mouldwarts The Greeke Testaments all the printed euen among Papists damne the Latine as that of Theophilact printed at Rome and the Ethiopian or Chaldean printed there and the Syriaque printed at Vienna and Antwerp so the strength of trueth is invincible but that wee betray out selues to our enemie and all the glorie of Christ his word And thus much for the purenes of the Text tryed against the Popes greatest hope Now for the other poynt of judgment to discerne what is more then mans witte could breede Here wee haue occasion to marke how this saying Thyne is the kingdome the powre and glorie for ever telleth that God not man spake it and that it is no trifling Addition but a most heauenly Conclusion of him that in the Creation had nothing idle nor imperfect And here we may consider two most profitable matters the one the light this saying giveth to the Prophets the other how it perfecte●h the fitting of prayer to the Decalogue All men should marke in the New Testament where the like saying were in the old that will bring sweet meditation The Pharisies say This is the heire come let us kill him so sayd the Patriarks of Ioseph least he should rule Come let us kill him we see the end God turned both the evils to salvation Elias is termed of bad Achab like his Father Omri Diastrephon a Destroyer so of the Scribes our Lord is called Diastrephon a Destroyer yet Elias was taken up in a fierie Chariot and our Lords Ascention sent fierie tongues and a fire on the earth and we know the ende of Achab and the Iewes may remember a sweet harmonie in Gods judgments old and new alike So S. Paul in his terme of better Resurrection in the Machabean Martyrs taking his phrase from the 12. of Daniell teacheth plainly how that chapter speaketh of Antiochus Epihanes and not of the ende of the world and in one word doth being marked ridde us from errors matching the Lybian sands We had never dreamed of the Romans to be a fourth Monarch there if we had well marked S. Paul But as Antiochus the vile was there spoken of in the end of wrath as in the litle horne chap. 8. so he not a Roman should haue beene holden the litle horne chap. 7. and the last mightie Tyrant of the fourth Beast by such light we may judge God the author of such words Bur that is most manifest in this kingly saying Thyne is the Kingdome the Power and Glorie for ever and ever In Dan. chap. 7. when the fourth Beast is cast into the fire one like a SONNE of MAN commeth with the cloudes of heauen and againe ascendeth to the everlasting and is brought before him and to him was giuen kingdome power and glorie that all nations should serue him The verie Iewes to this day Iarchi and Sadaias upon that place confesse MESSIAS to be there The sonne of Man And Sadaias noteth that by with clouds of heauen the Angels are meant who should attend MESSIAS coming into the world and the Iewes might know thence that when the Grecians were overthrowne MESSIAS should be borne and we see in the Gospel that the wicked euen then talked as the godly for the tyme being instructed by Daniel Now Dan. chapt 9. it is plainely spoken that Messias shall be staine and not for himself but to finish sinne to wake expiation for iniquitie as being the most holy in whom the Prince of this world could finde nothing and who was a Sacrificer for our sinnes And to this day the Iewes confesse that MESSIAS NACID or Prince or Leader is the Redeemer called Nagid or Leader or Commander of Nations Esai 55. A Commenter that of late wrote upon Dan. 9. confesseth that But the Incarnation and Resurrection passeth flesh and blood which sayth Who can goe up to heauen to bring Christ downe Or who can goe into the deepe to bring Christ from the dead Aben Ezra the Iew who 500 yeeres agoe in the Isle Rhodes commented upon Daniel confesseth that Gabriels 490 yeeres began at Daniels prayer ended when MESSIAS was slayn and Rambam confesseth as Galatin us citeth his words that the holy of holy is MESSIAS the sanctified from the sonnes of David Such helps to salvation breaking out Iewes confession as yron breaketh our fire from flint stones by the

AN EXPOSITION VPON THE LORDS Prayer compared with the Decalogue as it was preached in a Sermon at Oatelands before the most Noble HENRY Prince of Wales Aug. 13. Anno 1603. VVith a Postscript to advertise of an error in all those that leaue out the Conclusion of the Lords Prayer Also the Creed is annexed vvith a short and plaine explication of the Article commonly called He descended to Hell BY HVGH BROVGHTON TO THE CHRISTIAN Reader Grace and Peace HAving in my custodie Christian Reader a coppie of M. Broughtons Sermon on the Lords Prayer I found it upon perusall to conteine the Summe of all Divinitie especially being so fitly compared with the Decalogue which maketh the sence more heauenly and the harmonie more sweet and being composed together with much plainenes and brevitie and also garnished with much learning from the auncient Rabbins which the New Testament alloweth which when I had wel considered I began to reason with my self why so worthy a worke should be hidde from the world and not rather be communicated to all for the common good of all especially considering that it was his continuall desire constant endeavour not to hide his learning but to spende him self and his whole estate in the service of Christ by advancing the Gospell and expounding the Holy Schriptures both the Historie of them and also the Doctrine of them And first for the Historie of the Scriptures he composed it in a most plaine and profitable manner into one short viewe which he called A Consent of Scripture and herein he did carefully explaine three necessarie Circumstances that is to say Tyme Place and Person without the knowledge of which Circumstances the Historie of the Bible can never rightly be understood and therefore with great paynes and no lesse learning he made many severall Treatises upon these three Circumstances first proving the truth of them by Scripture and secondly in defending of that Truth against the manifold Errors of former Writers and also against the manifold cavilations of sundry late Opposers And therefore all those that upbraide his learned paynes with the terme of needlesse Genealogies and unprofitable Chronologie they are worthy to beare the burden of their owne ignorance for howsoever they thinke in their owne conceite they know much yet in deede in truth they might know more to their greater joy and comfort if they did not despise the Holy Rules I meane the afore-named Circumstances wherewith God hath garnished his blessed Word as a speciall help to guide everie wise hearted Reader in the true understanding of the same And secondly this Learned Divine of blessed memorie hath also declared his speciall loue to the Church of God in adding much help for the better understanding of the Doctrine of the Bible although his manner was not to make large Common-place bookes because the most Writers doe imploy their paynes about it therefore he thought it more necessarie to imploy himselfe in giving Rules for the true understanding of the Scriptures and for the right expounding of some Common places wherein many Writers doe not agree because the scope of the Scriptures is not rightly understood and therefore he hath giuen us warning how to understand many Common places as about Predestination the Sufferings of Christ and about the Article commonly called Christes Discent into Hel c. Also he speaketh much and to great light upon the mysterie of the Holy Trinitie and of the Incarnation and Resurrection of Christ as also of the Fall of Man and of the great mysterie of our Redemption and of many other weighty poynts as appeareth in this insuing Treatise and in many other of his Works as in Iob Ecclesiastes Daniel and his large Commentarie on the Appocalypsis c. Now if this be true as it is most evident in the aforenamed books then it should stop the mouthes of all those that slander his learned paynes because say they he teacheth no Sanctification but they doe litle consider when they say so that the Ground of Sanctification consisteth in the Holy and right knowledge of the Word of God which must first be seated in the minde conscience before it can be practised in the life and conversation O but say some his writings are not worth the reading because they are so difficult hard to understand I answer with S. Peter that many things are hard to be understood in Pauls Epistles 2 Pet. 3 16. shall we therfore not count them worth the reading because they are somewhat difficult no no God requires the paines of the mind for the understāding of his word for it is a treasure hid in the ground therfore they must take paynes to digge for it that will haue it so if men could but endure the paynes of the minde they would speake more reverendly of this mans Writings but because men loue such ease they cannot see the drift of his Writing and therefore well may his great Learning lamente because so fewe regarde it for it is almost sollitarie and unknowne to his owne Nation because fewe doe knowe what his learned paynes may further which is more precious then Rubies Yea therefore his knowledge doth powre teares downe her cheekes because shee is understood of none But I would to God that some Learned man would take the paynes to contriue al his Workes in to one Volume that so his great learning might not perish in Oblivion but that the ages to come may haue it in Record for their help and furtherance in Divinitie studies who wil doubtles reape more fruit by them then we doe by reason of our vnthankfulnes and so the God of all peace be with thee Christian Reader and the Lord giue thee understanding in all things Amen The wise wil vnderstand Dan. 12. A Sermon on the Lords Prayer preached at Oatelands before the most Noble HENRY Prince of Wales TO THE KINGS MAIESTIE I Present vnto your HIGHNES an Exposition of the L. Prayer recorded in S.
