A29452	A brief exposition of our Lords Prayer shewing that through ignorance and the wickedness of their own hearts, those that use it most, doth abuse and prophane it most, and pray against themselves that instead of a blessing, they draw down a curse upon themselves.		1680 (1680)	Wing B4592A; ESTC R214138	15,072	16

Prelates should suspend Gospel Ministers for not using them therefore they ought not to be imposed upon any for they are no part of Gods instituted worship nor serve any way as a help but rather are a hinderance to his worship therefore the Church that is believers should not be burthened with them for Bernard saith that only elect believers are the Church thus it is evident that the coming of Gods Kingdom and the doing of Gods will is hindred by the Comandments and prescriptions of men for none but Christ can perform the duty of an head unto his Church to govern it and to prescribe Laws to bind Conscience We should strive with all our might to do the will of God according as he hath revealed his will in his word and to this end we should pray heartily that we may know what that good that acceptable and perfect will of God is Rom. 12.2 For the soul to be without knowledge it is not good Prov. 19.2 For ignorance of Gods will or dissobedience to his will is infallible takens of them that have neither fellowship with Christ nor with the members of Christ we pray that Gods will may be done but how can a man do the will of God if he be ignorant of what the will of God is and yet ignorance will not excuse any man Christ told the Sadduce● ye● do ●rre not knowing the Scriptures Math. 22.29 ignorance is no excuse And the Scribes and Pharises who knew much of the Scriptures but like our Doctors stood to much upon their traditions and cerimonies Christ told them that in vain do y● worship ●●e ●●●ching for doctrines the Commandments of men that they might keep their own traditions Mark 7.7 But this is not the way to do the will of God according as we pray and yet the Pharises for all the woes that Christ pronounced against them were mor to be excused then our Doctors for they had not then the Gospel To sin against knowledge is a grievous sin nor our Lords Prayer written for their direction as now our Doctors have and if so many woes were the just due of the Scribes and Pharises that had not the means of knowledge that now we have what woes belongs to them that now under greater Gospel light do the same that the Scribes and Pharises did that pray for one thing and do the quite contrary in presumption Make not then the word of God of none effect by your traditions and Cerimonies let Gods Kingdom be set up in the purity of his ordinances and let his wi●l be done in earth as it is in Heaven according as you pray or else you pray against your selves for if God be God obey and worship him according to his will revealed in his word E●ther let Christs Kingdom be set up or Ant●christs as you pray and that without adding or dimi●ishing but if Antichrist be God obey him and so you may make a hotch potch of Religion and mix the word of God and his traditions and cerimonies together but know this that Christ will have no partner for he trod the Wine press of Gods wrath alone and in all the world there was none to help him Is 63.3 And so he will govern his Church alone by his own Laws and institutions without the help of of Pope Cardinal or Prelate to joyn their Laws with his this was hinted at in the Law Lev. 16.19 Ye shall keep my Statutes thou shalt not let thy Cattle gender with a divers kind thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled s●ed neither shal a garment mingled of linnen and wollen come upon thee and thou shalt not plow with one Ox and an Asse together Deut. 22.10 God did teach them by these expressions that they should not be double hearted in Religion to have one heart for God and another heart for Idols neither would he have us to have one heart for God and another for Antichrist to give our hearts partly to Gods Laws and partly to Cerimonies and Traditions of men The fourth Petition Give us this day our daily bread By Bread we understand all things whereby temperall life is preserved which we are not to ask absolutely but conditionally with submission to Gods wi●l and to be content with what God is pleased to give us be it little or much as may be for his glory the building up of his Kingdom in us and enabling us to do his will and his will is partly done by our depending on his providence for the things of this life and depending on his mercy for the pardon of our sins and by depending on his power for the resisting of temptations It is cal●ed our Bread because in Christ all things are theirs who believe in Christ 1 Cor. 3.22 All are yours and ye are Christs and Christ is Gods all that believe are Christs and none can pray aright but believers others do but babble over the words we must pray in faith and leave all to God without our immoderate care for Peter bids us cast all our care upon God who cares for us learn to pray in fa●th without babbling 1 Pet. 5.7 And Paul admonisheth us to be careful for nothing he means with immoderate care but in every th●ng by Prayer and supplication with thank●giving let your requests be made known unto God Phil. 4.6 Not but that men may and ought to have a moderate care and leave the success to God ●hat we may attend upon the Lord without distract●on 1 Cor. 7.35 Thus we should pray for daily Bread or Bread for the day without distraction or immoderate care for the Israelites gathered Manna but for one day Also our Saviour Christ teacheth us that no man by care or t●king thought can add one Cubit unto his stature therefore saith he take no thought saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithall shall we be cloathed for after all these things do unbelievers seek and your heavenly Father to whom we pray for daily Bread knoweth that ye have need of all these things but seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you they shall be cast in as an overplush without your taking thought as if he had said I have taught you to pray for Bread for the day take no thought for to morrow to morrow shall take thought for the things of it self Math. 6.25 to 34. Our Saviour Christ here comandeth us to s●ek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness that is the righteousness of Christ imputed which is to be applyed by faith but we have no promise that we shall find Gods Kingdom or his righteousness in the use and practise of Cerimonies Traditions consort of Church musick or Coristers there is no promise of Gods righteousness in the use of Cerimonies seeing there is no Ordinance of Christs institution but it tends to the edification of the hearers but Church
