Mathews gospel to which is prefixed certaine necessary circumstances to be obserued in prayer. Also thereunto is annexed a table shewing the agreement betweene the Lords prayer, and the ten commandements of Almighty God. By T.S.	S., Tho.	1602 (1602)	STC 21523; ESTC S114099	35,229	130

the fourth commandement This kingdome is in righteousnesse and peace and ioy in the holy Ghost The onely meanes to attaine this is by beleeuing in Christ and seeing faith is by hearing the worde preached therefore hath God ordained one day of seauen for that purpose For surely he that keepeth not the Sabboth day which was ordained to meditate on Gods workes and to heare Gods worde preached can neither be skilfull rightly to know the vse of creatioÌ„ and redemption and if he be ignorant in this neither is God his King nor he anye way fit to doe Gods will for that is farre more hard to attaine to then but barelie to know it surely if any should aske me the cause of so much losenesse in our conuersation and so great blindnesse in this glorious time of the Gospel I should say it was the neglect of the Saboth day Therfore I would desire all Christians to remember when God bids vs remember and especiallie the Magistrate in his place that where no conscience of this dutye is there may be correction duly administred For the neglect of this commandement is the cause of breaking all the rest and it is the very gate either to knowledge or an entrance for all the workes of darkenes Consider Christian reader if the Lordes day were kept of euery one and spent in reading hearing Gods word preached what delight knowledge would it bring thee to in a very short space Therefore saith God remember to do my will not thine owne Neither can we pray thy kingdome come and let vs do thy will when in deed Gods will is we should spend the day in hearing reading and meditating of his meruelous workes both of creation and redemption Thus we see the three petitions Sab. Mun. on the 5. of Mat. answer to the foure first coÌ„mandements both liuely shewing our duty to God for froÌ„ the first table I vnderstand the whole worship of God namely faith in God feare of God confidence loue of God euen as it is said thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy hart with all thy soule and in thy whole endeuour for loue trust faith and feare are in the hart and in them consisteth the true worship of God The second table of the law com 5 Honor thy father and thy mother that thy daies may be prolonged vpoÌ„ the land which Iehouah thy God giueth thee This saith Paule was the first commandement with promise Thou shalt not kill com 6 Christ expoundeth this in Mat. 5. The second part of the Lords praier Giue vs this day our daily bread petitioÌ„ 4 This sheweth that we may lawfully pray for earthly things that are necessary but God euer maketh the disobedieÌ„t to parents to want or at leastwise curseth the labour of their hands for the lord hath said cursed is he that curseth father or mother Therefore Salomon saith his light shal be put out in obscure darkenes This was the first commandement with the promise of Canaan annexed to it which was the land that had aboundance of earthly riches and was a figure of heauen Forgiue vs our debtes as wee forgiue our debtors which teacheth petitioÌ„ 5 vs that we must not onely do no murther but eueÌ„ shew no crabbed looke nor to vse a churlish word nor conceiue a hatefull ire against our brother So far should we be from making him our prey as euer we should remeÌ„ber him to God in our prayers this our sauiour taught expounding this commandement in the fift of Mathew Thou shalt not commit adultery com 7 Thou shalt not steale com 8 Thou shalt not beare false witnesse com 9 againe thy neighbour Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours com 10 house neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife nor his man seruant nor his maid nor his oxe nor his asse neither any thing that is thy neighbours Leade vs not into temptation petiti âˆ£ on 6 but deliuer vs from euill This answereth to the foure last commandements for man is most subiect to be ouercome by these workes of the flesh which are adultery theft lying and couetousnes And so the sum of the second table is to loue our neighbour as our selues But deliuer vs from euill sheweth we are to desire that God would grant vs his assistance to walke in obedience to his holy commaÌ„dements and this ought euer to be the desire of all Christians in their prayers to God as is shewed before Thus beloued brethren we see that the law is holy and good also that Christ came not to destroy the law or to giue men liberty to sin but to establish the same and to fulfill the same which none but he could doe therefore in a worde know the vse and end of the law The vse is that we should striue towardes perfection and bring Vse forth fruite as beseemeth trees of Gods planting The end is that End our own infertility barennesse should make vs confesse the equity of the law the iniquity of our selues and the euerlasting mercy of God for wheras by the law we are vnder the curse because it concludeth all vnder sinne By the Gospell we are made happy through faith in the sonne of God for that which the law could not doe Christ did for he turned the water into wine saith Theophilact and that that was not able to norish vs he hath made good to vs and profitable for vs. And whereas before we were bond men vnder the law that is the curse we are now made free men by him which became a curse for vs yea he hath made vs a chosen generation a royall priesthood Titus 2. 14. a holy nation a pecultar people let vs not now therfore sinne that grace 1. Pet. 2. 9. may abound God forbid that wee should do so for if we be his chosen we haue crucified the flesh with Paule we must be crucified to the world and the world to vs so we may be the more able to resist sathan when he shall tempt vs in our praiers or otherwise let vs that professe Christ walke as Christ hath walked and aboue all things let vs not faint in our praiers for if we be faithful God is louing merciful and he wil giue whatsoeur we haue neede of for as the Psalmist saith there is no good thing that he withholdeth from them that feare him Now the God of peace that brought againe from the dead the Lord Iesus Heb. 13 20. the great shepheard of the sheepe through the bloud of the euerlasting couenant make vs perfit in all good workes to do his will working in vs that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ to whome be praise for euer and euer Amen FINIS

THE TOVCH-STONE of Prayer Or A true and profitable exposition of the Lords Prayer according to the holy Hebrew of S. Mathews gospel to which is prefixed certaine necessary circumstances to be obserued in Prayer Also thereunto is annexed a Table shewing the agreement betweene the Lords prayer and the ten commandements of Almighty God By T. S. Whatsoeuer yee shall aske if yee beleeue yee shall receiue it Mat. 21. 22. Oratio pia penetrat coelum Imprinted at London for Arthur Iohnson dwelling in Paules Church-yarde at the signe of the Flower de Luce and Crowne 1602. To the religious gentlemen Maister Robert Bate and Maister Edmund Sleigh T. S. wisheth in this life the feare of God and in the life to come euerlasting rest with Iesus Christ HAuing compiled this little Treatise at the motion of a priuate friend most especiallie for his benefit and mine owne comfort once an entrance being made into the matter I found so manie good and profitable lessons naturally to arise from this so excellent a subiect being a most absolute forme of prayer deliuered by the blessed mouth of Christ our Sauiour vnto his disciples at his instant request I thought it could not but be verie profitable to others as I finding the meditation hereof so sweete vnto my selfe Now this serious cogitation was a strong motiue vnto me to publish that abroad which I thought to keepe priuate to my selfe and to my friend who first mooued me to take in hand this taske to which so much the rather I condiscended being instantly vrged therevnto by some of my very friends to whom I imparted the sight of this small worke affirming that our knowledge should not be inclosed within the narrowe bounds of our owne brest but to be extended as much as is possible to the benefit of others And although many vigilant watchmen ouer Christes flocke and industrious labourers in his great haruest haue taken great paines in the vnfoulding the misteries of this most perfect platforme of prayer without doubt to the benefit of the church yet I know it is not a thing superfluous as it may seeme to some but most necessarie in these times to refresh the memorie of their learned labours For although praier be a daily exercise amongst vs yet the number is very small that know to performe this holy action with true sincerity So that indeedo that which should be a shield vnto them to defend from the assaults of our olde enemie is a iust cause to make the Lord to vnsneath his two-edged sword against them Some are so nousled in securitie that they offer vp the calues of their lippes as Caine did his sacrifice that is by hands of others and thinke all is well if they giue a consent with their voice to a generall prayer although God knoweth their hearts are wandring abroad at that instant others haue a zeale but it is without vnderstanding so that they know not how to pray aright nor to whom to pray as they ought but like the Athenians worship an vnknowne God and others are so besotted with a blinde deuotion that they thinke their prayers cannot be sanctified vnlesse they be holyed with Popish reliques All these things with many more duly considered it is as cleare as the light that it behoueth euery true Christian so farre as it shall please God to enhable him to labor to remoue these impediments And albeit I humbly acknowledge my selfe to be one of the meanest among my bretheren to vndergoe this labour yet seeing it pleaseth the Lord by weake meanes to bring mighty things to passe whereby his glory shineth the brighter I was not discouraged to employ my small talent which it hath pleased him to bestow on me to the benefit of others I hope aswell as of my selfe And as I wish it may be to the glory of God and the vniuersall good of all so more perticulerly to the comfort of you my very good friends and louing countrimen whome I haue chosen as patrons of my small worke aswell to testifie my gratefull minde towardes you as that by your protection it might the better be secured from the malicious tongues of such as shall carpe against it being fully resolued of your fauourable acceptance because I know you are religious obseruers of this diuine exercise and well instructed in the word of God which is our true Pylot to direct our course aright In the exposition of this short but most absolute and sweete prayer of which our Sauiour Christ Iesus is the author and therefore is vsually named the Lords prayer I haue followed the Hebrew text especially for three respects First because it is the natiue tongue of the Gospell wherein this prayer was first penned secondly because more necessarie more significant and heauenly lessons are naturally to be learned from the holy Hebrew words being considered by themselues then from any other language Thirdly I was instigated to take this course by the examples of diuers famous and learned doctors namely that learned and reuerend Doctor Saint Ierome deuine Theophilact Simon Grineus and Sebastian Munster and many others both old and new writers who follow the Hebrew text of this Gospell and may be vnto me as strong defensiue Bulwarkes against such as might happily impeach this maner of proceeding But if it shall please God to reueale to any other a more expedite course let him in Gods name with a good conscience vse his owne libertie It shall suffice me amongst the rest to bring somewhat to the building of the Lords spirituall Temple be it neuer so meane so it doe serue for the edification thereof But to auoide tediousnesse fearing least I haue offended already in this respect I commit you and all the rest of my louing friends and Country-men to the protection of the omnipotent and onely wise God and my labours whatsoeuer to his good blessing Your Country-man most humbly to commaund T. S. To the godly and Christian Reader FOr as much gentle Reader as nothing is more necessary and profitable to all Christians yea more pleasing to God then is the faithfull prayers of his elect And because all in the church haue not like measure of knowledge to know eyther for what or after what manner to pray I haue thought it good for the benefit of such weake ones to set forth this exposition of the Lordes prayer which is the absolute for me of all holy prayers the doctrines I haue drawne from the naturall meaning of the wordes as they are set downe in the holy Hebrew of S. Mathewes gospell vsing no curiositie in method but handling euery word as it lyeth in order in the text which is the plainest and easiest for the capacity of the simpler sort that can be And for their better vnderstanding how to pray I haue prefixed certaine circumstances of prayer which are seriously to be considered of euery one that will pray aright Lastly to the end of the Lordes prayer I haue added a table shewing
