shall they require thy soule frome the than whose shall those thynges be that thou haste prepared The fole that shuld dye the same nyght reioysed in his fruites and he whose lyfe nowe fayled was carefull for abundance of foode But Christe teacheth a contrarye lesson that he that wol be perfect muste selle a way all that he hath and deale it amonge poore men and make hym a tresure in heuen This man saith Christ foloweth him and the glorie of his passion whiche is expedite and lyght apparayled not wrapped and loded with householde stuffe but leuse and at lybertie his goodes and substāce sent afore to god he also foloweth after To the which that eche of vs may p̄pare him selfe he lerneth vs to pray to knowe after what maner our prayer ought to be For no ryghtous man can lacke his dayely foode sythe it is written The lorde kylleth not the soule of a iuste man with hunger And agayne I haue ben yonger and nowe am olde and haue nat sene the iuste man forsakē nor his sede seke theyr breadde Also the lorde promyseth and saythe Be not ye carefull sayeng what shall we eate or what shall we drinke or wherwith shall we be clothed For those thinges the hethen people seke But your heuenly father knowethe that ye haue neede of those thynges Seke ye fyrst the kyngedome of god and the rightuousnes therof all these thinges shall be ministred vnto you To them that seke the kyngdome and rightuousnes of god al those thynges he promyseth to be ministred For sythen all thynges be goddes he that hath god lacketh nothynge yf he hym selfe be not wantyng to god So for Daniel by the kynges commaundemente inclosed in the lyons denne a dyner from heauen was prepared and he the man of god dydde eate among the hungry wyld beastes that hurte hym not So Helyas in his flyght was fed and in wildernes by rauens and byrdes ministrynge and bryngynge to hym meate he was norished in persecution O detestable crueltie of mans malyce the wylde beastes forbeare to doo hurte the byrdes bryng fode to nourishe men practise wyles and cruellye demeane them selfes ¶ After all this we praye for our synnes sayeng And forgyue vs our trespaces as we forgyue them that trespas agaynst vs. After helpe of fode forgyuenesse of synne is desyred that he that is fedde of god may lyue in god hauynge respecte not only to this present and temporal but to the eternal lyfe to the whiche he may come if his synnes be forgyuen whiche the lorde callith dettes lyke as in his gospelle he sayth I haue forgyuen the all thy dette bycause thou praydest me But howe nedefully howe prouidently and howe holsomly be we admonyshed that we be synners whiche be compelled to praye for our synnes that while forgiuenes is craued of god the mynde maye remember his conscience For to the ende no man shulde stande in his owne conceyte as though he were an innocent and extollynge hym selfe shuld peryshe the more he is instructed taughte that he synneth dayely sythen he is commaunded dayely to praye for his synnes And thus fynallye Iohn̄ in his epistell admonyssheth vs sayeng If we saye that we haue no synne we deceyue our selues and the truth is not in vs. But if we woll confesse oure synnes the lorde is faithfull and iuste whiche wol forgyue vs our sinnes Both these he hath comprised in his epistell that we oughte to praye for our synnes and that we shall opteyne forgyuenes whan we praye And therfore he saith god is faith full to forgyue synnes holdynge the faith of his promise For why he that taught vs to praye for our sinnes hath ꝓmised that fatherly mercy and forgyuenes shulde folowe He hath ioyned and added therto a lawe constraynynge vs with a certayn condition and promise that we shulde so desyre our synnes to be forgiuen vs euen as we forgiue theym that trespas ageynste vs Knowynge well that it canne nat be obteyned that we aske for our sinnes rxcept we wol doo the lyke to them that trespas agaynste vs. And therfore in an other place he saithe With what measure ye mette with the same shall it be mesured to you agayn And he the seruaunt whiche after his lord hadde forgyuen hym all his duetie wolde not forgyue his felowe was trowen into pryson Bicause he wold not gentilly forgiue his felowe he loke that that his lord had courteisly giuen him Whiche thynges Chryste in his preceptes more strongly and with more vigour of his sharpe iudgement fortolde vs And whan ye stande to praye sayth he forgiue yf ye haue ought against any mā that your father also whiche is in heuen may forgiue you your trespasses but if you wol not forgiue no more woll your father that is in heauen forgyue your offences There is no excuse for the at the day of iudgement whanne thou shalt be iudged after thyne owne sentence and that thou hast done that shalt thou suffre For god cōmandeth that such as loue peace concorde to liue in vnitie shuld dwelle in his house and suche as he made vs in our seconde natiuitie suche he woll vs beinge borne againe to perseuer that we whiche haue begunne to be the childrē of god shuld remain in the peace of god and we that haue one spicitie shoulde be of one minde and intent for so god receyueth our sacrifice He commaundethe the stryuer retournyng from the altare fyst to reconcile hym to his brother that with prayers commynge from an harte that loueth peace god may be pacified Our peace and brotherly concorde and the people knytte togyther in the vnitie of the father of the sonne and of the holy goste is a sacrifice hyghly acceptable vnto god For god regarded not the gyftes and offerynges that Abill and Cayne the fyrst offred vp in sacrifice but he behelde theyr hartes that he shulde pleace hym with his gyfte that pleased hym in his hart The peasible and iust Abell innocently offrynge vp his sacrifyce vnto god taught all other whan they offre theyr gyft at the altare so to come with the drede of god with a symple harte with the lawe of iustice with the peace of concord He that was suche in the sacrifice of god was afterwarde worthily made a sacrifyce to god that he fyrste shewyng a profe of martirdome with the glory of his bloud tasted the lordes passion the whiche had in hym bothe iustyce and peace Suche the lorde crowneth such at the day of iudgement shal with the lorde be reuenged But he that is at debate and strife and lyueth not in peace with his bretherne lyke as the blessed apostle holy scripure witnesse though he shuld be slayne for the name of Chryst yet coude he not escape the cryme of dyssention For as it is written who soo euer hateth his brother is a mankyller a man sleer commeth not to the kyngedome of heuen

saluation in his innocēcy sythe no man is innocente but confessynge his synnes he humbly prayde and he that forgyueth the humble harde his prayer The whiche thinges the lord in his gospel putteth and sayth Two men went vp into the temple to pray the one a pharisee and the other a Publycane The pharisee stode and prayed by him self after this maner God I thāk the bicause I am nat as other mē vniuste robbers adulterers as this publycane I faste twyse in the weke I gyue the tythes of al what so euer I possesse But the publycane stoode afarre of and wolde not lyfte vp his eies to heuen but knockid his brest saying God be mercyfull vnto me a synner I telle you this manne went downe moore iustyfyed into his hous thē he the pharisee For who so euer exalteth hym selfe shall be humbled and who so euer wolle humble hym selfe shal be exalted Whiche thynges dere bretherne we lerning of the diuine lesson after that we knowe how we ought to ꝓcede to praier we must know alsoo the lorde instructynge vs what we shulde pray thus saythe he praye ye Our father whiche art in heuen halowed be thy name Thy kyngedome come Thy wyl be done in erth as it is in heuen Gyue vs this day our dayly breade And forgyue vs our trespaces as we forgyue them that trespas agaynst vs. And let vs not be ledde into temptation But delyuer vs from euyll Amen Aboue all thynges the teacher of peace and mayster of vnitie wyl not singular priuate prayer to be made that whā any prayeth y t he shuld not onely pray for hym selfe We say nat My father whiche art in heuen nor Gyue me my dayly bread Nor there is no man that desyreth to haue his synnes forgyuen hym aloone or prayeth for hym selfe alone that he shulde nat be led into temptation and delyuered from euyl Our prayer is publyke and common and whan we pray we pray not for one but for all the people for we all be but one The lorde of peace and mayster of concorde whiche taughte vnitie wolde oone to pray soo for all as he hym selfe bare al in one This rule of prayer the thre childern inclosed in the forneis of fire obserued agreing and accordyng in prayer and consente of spirite Whiche thynge the trouthe of diuine scripture declareth whan it teacheth howe they prayd it giueth example whiche in our praiers we ought to folowe that we may be suche as they were Than sayth the scripture they thre as out of one mouth sang an himne and blessed the lorde They spake as out of oone mouthe and yet Christe had not tought theym to pray and therfore to theym prayinge their wordes were effectuall and toke place for their peasyble symple and spirituall prayer deserued to be accepted of god And so we fynd that the apostels with the disciples prayid after thascention of the lorde They were all sayth the scripture of one mynde and continuynge in prayer with the womē and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his bretherne They being of one mynde perseuered in prayer declaryng bothe the instance and concorde of their prayer For god whyche maketh the inhabitantes of one mynde in the house admitteth none into the diuine and eternall house but suche as are of one mynd in prayer But what be the misteries of the lordis prayer most dere brethern how many how great how brefely gathered togither but in vertue spirituall howe copious and abundant that there is nothing omittid that is not in our praiers and orysons comprysed in this compendiouse heauenly doctrine Thus sayth he pray ye Our father whiche arte in heauen The man that is renewed and borne ageyn and restored to god by his grace sayth in the fyrst place Father bycause he begynneth nowe to be his sonne He came sayth the scripture into his owne and his owne receyued hym not But as many as receyued hym to theym gaue he power to be the chylderne of god which beleue in his name Therfore he that beleueth in his name and is made the chyld of god must forth withall begyn both to gyue thankes and acknowlege him selfe to be the chylde of god whan he nameth his father to be in heauen god He woll also among the first wordes of his byrthe declare hym selfe to haue forsaken his erthely and carnall father and to begyn to haue hym his only father that is in heuen as it is writen They that say to the father and mother I knowe the not they acknowleged not their children they haue kepte thy preceptes and haue obserued thy testamēt Also the lord in his gospel commaundeth that we shulde calle no man father in erthe bycause we haue one father whiche is in heuen And to the disciple that shewid that his father was deade he sayde Suffre the deade to burye the deade For he sayde that his father was deed sythen they that beleue haue a lyuynge father Nor we ought not dere bretherne to marke and consyder this onely that we shuld cal hym father that is in heauen but we ioyne therwith and say Oure father that is of them that beleue of thē that by hym bd sauctifyed and with the natiuite of spiritual grace restored beganne to be the chyldren of god Whyche voyce also doothe wrynge and sharpely touche the Iewes whych not only vnfaythfully despised Christe forshewed to them by the prophetes and to them fyrst sent but also cruelly slewe hym The whiche Iewes can nat nowe call god father sythen the lord confoundeth and reproueth them sayeng You are of the father the dyuelle and after the lustes of your father wyl ye do for he was a murderer frō the begynnynge and abode not in the truthe bycause the truthe is not in hym And by Esaie the prophete god disdaynyng crieth out I haue begottē chyldren and exalted them but they haue despised me The oxe knowith is lord the asse his masters stable but Israell knoweth not and my people hath not vnderstand out vpon ye synfull nation people full of synnes wycked seede vngracyouse childerne you haue forsaken the lorde and haue prouoked him the holy one of Israel to indignatiō To whose rebuke and shaame whan we Christians pray we say Our father bycause he hath begon to be ours and hath lefte to be the Iewes father which forsoke him Nor a synfulle people can nat be his chylde but they whose synnes are forgyuen be callyd chylderne and to theym euerlastynge ioye is promysed oure lorde hym selfe sayenge Who so euer dothe synne is the seruant of synne as for the seruant abydeth not in the house foreuer but the sonne abydeth for euer But howe greate is the gentylnesse of the lorde howe plentiful is his fauour goodnes towarde vs That so wolde haue vs celebrate our prayer in goddis sight that we shuld cal god fader and that as Christ is the sonne of god so we also
