sinne and sinne when it is consummate that is when our mind doth deliberatly fully and perfectly yeld to the committing or liking of the act or motioÌ„ whereunto the saied concupisceÌ„ce doth moue or incite vs ingendreth death And therefore our blessed Sauiour did warne his beloued disciples and in them all others to watch and praie that they might not enter into this sort of tention saying VVatch yee and praie that Math. 26. yee enter not into tentation The Spirit indeed is prompt but the flesh weake Yet God almightie tempteth his elect with the temptation of probation or triall which is ordained to the good or benefit of them that are tempted of which sort was that where God is saied to haue tempted Abraham and in the Gen. 22 Sap. 3. booke of VVisdome where God is saied to haue tempted the iust and to haue found them worthy of himself And this he doth not that he himself by such triall maie come to know any thing concerning them which he doth not know already for the beloued Disciple of ouâ— Lord affirmeth of him that He know all and that It was not needfull for him Ioh. 2. that any should giue testimony of man for he knew what was in man and the Prophet Dauid saieth God knoweth the Psal 4. secrets of the heart But he doth it First that they maie be purified according to that of holy Iob He hath proued me as Iob 23. gold that passeth through the fire Secondly that it maie appeare how they loue him according to that of Deuteromomie The Deut. 13 Lord your God tempteth you that it maie appeare whether you loue him or no with all your heart and with all your soule Thirdly that he maie make knowne their sanctitie to others Lastly that they maie know themselues the better We doe not therefore desire that we maie not be lead into this temptation because it moueth vs not directly to sinne as alsoe for that we are taught by the holy Apostles to reioyce when such temptations happen vnto vs. You shall reioyce saieth S. Peter Ep. 1 c. 1 Ã litle now if you must be made heauy in diuers â—smptations c. And S. Iames saieth Esteeme it all ioy when you shall fall unto diuers Iaco. 1. tentations c. But we praie that God almightie will graunt vs the grace of patience and constancie that we maie make good vse of it But as concerning the other tentâ—tion which commetâ— from the enimies of our soule vdzt the deuill the world and the flesh we praie thereby that although it be induced into vs by impâ—gnation that is although it take hold of vs mouing vs internally to euill that we maie not be induced into it by consent that is that we maie not be soe cunningly iâ—ueigled and soe forcibly incited that we shall be drawne to yeeld thereunto By these words therefore Lead vs not into tentation we desire that God will not permit vs to be tempted aboue our strength nor leaue vs destitute of his assisting grace but will graunt vs fortitude to resist and make alsoe with tentation issue or fruitâ— that we maie be able to sustaine it to his honoâ— and glory and the benefit of our soules Iob was tempted but could not be induced to speake any thing foolishly against God and Ioseph was alsoe tempted as we read in Genesâ—s but neither of them can Genes 39. properly be saied to haue been lead into tentation because they gaue not consent to what was suggested Snarez affirmeth li. de eratione vocali c. 8. that neither the deuill hath power to lead vs into tentation neither can we consent vnto him farther then God almightie is pleased to permit Wherefore saieth he we aske that God almightie will not permit this to be done in vs noâ— by vs God is saied to lead vs into tentation when by subtracting his assisting grace he permitteth vs to be lead In which manner he is saied to haue hardned the heart of Pharao not that he did indeed harden his heart but rather Pharao hardned his owne hearâ— by neglecting to concurre with that suffâ—â—iency of grace which God had bestowed on him and refusing to let the children of Israel depart after so many admonitioâ—s And therefore our Lord left him to himself as likewise the children of Israel afterwards when they refused to heare his voice as the Prophet â—â—uid recounteth Psal 80 And my people heard not my voice and Israel attended not to me and I let them alonÃ¨ accordiâ—g to the desires of their heart they shall goe in their owne inuentions For the more full and cleare vnderstanding of this petition and of all that hath been saied of it you must know that we can doe nothing that is good of ourselues but all by the help and assistance of Gods grace as it is written VVithout me you can doe Ioh. 15. 1. ad Cor. 12. nothing and in another place No man can saie Our Lord Iesus but in the Holie Ghost By these words therefore Lead vs not into tentation wee demaund that we maie neither be denied his grace and helpe nor suffered to abuse our libertiâ— by reiecting such wholsome inspirationâ—â—nd motions as he shall please to graunt vs. But deliuer vs from all euill SOme there are who thinke that the word But doth shew that this Petition is not different from the former but is rather an explication thereof Collat. 9. Of which opinion Cassian doth seeme to be where he expoundeth these words But deliuer vs c That is saieth he Suffer vs not to be tempted by the deuill aboue our strength or abilitie to make resistance Yet the common opinion is tâ—â—t therâ— are seauen Petitions contained in this praier which Snarez doth learnedly proue in the Chapter aforesaied where he distinguisheth this Petition from the Siâ—t Petition as followeth In the Sixt saieth he we praie that we maie not be permitted to be tempted but in the Seauenth that if we be permitted to be tempted that we maie be deliuered from the euill thereof that is from consenting thereunto S. Bonauenture in his explicatioÌ„ vpon this praier saieth That in the 5. Petition we aske to be deliuered from euills past in the 6. from euills to come and in the 7. from all present euills Amen THat is let it be done This word neither the Greeke nor Latin interpreter hath translated for the reuerence thereof because our Sauiour vsed it soe frequently It is Ã fruitfull signet of praier procuring recollection of the mind for by saying Amen the mind is born breefly to all before recited and the affection of impetrating is renewed and soe the praier is ended with feruour and hath Ã more full effect S. Thomas of Aquine affirmeth that 2. 2. q. 89 Ã 9. in Cor. this praier is the most perfect of all others which he proueth out of the 121. Epist of S. Augustine to Probus in the 12. Chapter where

Apostle did exhort the Hebrews by these words to embrace the doctrine of Christ shewing that the daie was then come whereof the Prophet spake soe many yeares before For saâ—eth he if Iesus that is Iosue had giuen them rest the Prophet would not haue mentioned another daie In tymes past our Lord spake vnto his people by the mouth of Moyses and other his holie Prophets but now in the law of grace by his onely Sonne Christ Iesus Let vs therefore mollifie our hearts let vs not be As in the prouocation according to the daie of the tentation in the desert at the waters of contradiction and other places in the desert VVhere our Lord saieth your fathers tempted me proued me and saw my workes They doubted in their hearts whether I weâ—e of power to giue them food defend them from their enemies and bring them to the land of Promise but they experienced me by my wonderfull workes to be the onely true God What should moue my people to be soe incredulous and obdurate What could I haue done more to shew my loue vnto them then that I haue done I brought them from Aegipt where they were oppressed I dried Ã passadge in the red Sea that they might passe without difficultie drowned their enemies in their sight I went before them in forme of Ã clowde by daie and like Ã piller of fier by night I fed them with Manna for Fortie yeares space in all which tyme neither the garments they wore nor their shooes were the worse for wearing Fortie yeares was I nigh to this generation guiding them teaching them working wonders amongst them and experiencing alwaies to winne their hearts And saied by my Angel to Moyses by him to them These alwaies erre in heart They erre not through ignorance they know what they ought to beleeue what they maie lawfully desire and what to doe to please me but they will not know I haue often instructed them in my waies by my seruant Moyses But they haue not knowne my waies that is they haue disliked would not approoue of my waies and therefore all remedies fayling I haue sworne to them in my wrath We must not conceiue by these words that the passion of anger is in God but onely that he swore to proceed to punish them as if he had been possessed with anger and wrath against them for S. Thomas saieth Anger is attributed to God metaphorically If they shall enter into my rest that is into the land of Promise I will cease to be that I am as I liue they shall not enter for their incredulitie These oathes are vertually included in the former words which doe seeme to be spoken by the figure Aposiopesis wherein something is not formally expressed which yet is vertually included in the sense of the words By the place of rest here mentioned is signified eternall happines for the land of Promise was Ã figure of the celestiall countrie It is not here expressed who shall enter into that rest but in the booke of Numbers we read that our Lord Num 14. saied My seruant Caleb who being of another spirit hath followed me him will I bring into this land and Iosue and the litle ones whome they saied should be Ã prey to the enemies By Iosue and Caleb maie be vnderstood the small number of the Iewes who filled with the spirit of God did follow the doctrine of our Sauiour and by the multitude of those litle ones the fulnes of the conuersion of the Gentils whome the holie Church brought forth in the last age litle ones indeed because they entred by the gate of humilitie The Apostle speaking of the Rome 11. Gentils saieth that they were wild oliues were taken and grafted in some of the oline branches wich were broken and soe made partakers of the roote and fatnesse of the oliue The faithfull therefore of the Iewes wâ—ich are signified by the boughes of that oliue which were not broken all true Christians who shall perseuer in the vnion of the Catholike Apostolicall doctrine who are ment by the wild oliues which were inserted into the oliue tree these shall enter into that place of rest We hope alsoe that those broken branches shall againe be reunited to the naturall oliue towards the end of the world Behoâ—d Ã Psalme full of ioye and sweetnes Ã Psalme apt to inflame Ã pious soule with the fier of the holie Ghost It importeth vs to sing or recite it in the beginning of the morning office with all attention and spirituall feruour that soe by beginning the worke of God with ardour we maie passe the rest of the daie with profitt Let vs therefore doe that whereunto we are inuited in this present Psalme and when we rise to the morning office let vs beginne with couradge and alacritie let vs banish from our hearts all vaine thoughts impertinent fansies let vs carefully busie our hearts with God aloÌ„e saying to ourselues in our interiour or to such as are present Come let vs exult to our Lord c. and with Ã recollected and amorous mind let vs put in practise those most noble acts whereunto this Psalme doth inuite vs which are these that follow vdzt To exult and make iubilation to our Lord To preuent â—is face in confession of praise and confession of our sinns with teares of contrition To fall downe before him and adore our maker VVhat is vnderstood by Hymnes Psalmes and Canticles AFter the Inuitatorie Psalme followeth an Hymne by which is signified that the mind being now inflamed with the diuine loue cannot containe it self any longer but must needs breake forth into Ã more sweete expression of its interiour affections An Hymne maie be thus defined an Hymne is Ã Poeme declaring certaine workes of God benefits shewed towards mankind or thus An Hymne is Ã Poeme recounting the vertues and praise worthy actions of the holie Saints or exhorting vs to ameÌ„d our liues The vse of Hymnes is most auncient S.
