Visions of Daniel chapt 7. and chapt 9. for the sonne of MAN Now the Conclusion of the Lords prayer doth call us directly to Dan. 7. and thence to chapt 9. therefore it calleth into minde all that those Visions haue so the end of the fourth Kingdome is seen to be a litle before our Lord his Incarnation so his most glorious incarnation celebrated by Angels so his Ascention attended by the same so the name MESSIAS and death of the Iust for the unjust and Covenant for manie in the Lords supper and yeere of death and Iubilie and ending of Moses Ceremonies all be called into minde by this sentence Thyne is the Kingdome power and glorie for ever and ever And as the morning spreadeth over the Mountaines and light flitteth from East to West so this sentence spreadeth over all the Doctrine of the Kingdome that the subjects of MESSIAS are poor and in the Sea but builded upon the ROCK And thus much for the Divine light by which this sentence may be knowne to be no trifling addition but breathed from God and a most heauenly parcel of the New Testament which the Popes barbarous Latine Translation would disannull others allowance of it would make to be no part of the New Testament Now for the second poynt how it absolveth the harmonie of the Prayer and Decalogue the meditation will haue profitable matter but all must be considered together God sayth I am the Eternall thy God Thou shalt haue no other Elohim God and judge but me We pray O our Father to thee onely we pray and flye God sayth Thou shalt not make to thy self any grauen Image nor the likenes of any thing c. We say Thou art in Heauen in light that none can come to nor thinke to what thou canst be likened God sayth Thou shalt not take the Name of the Eternall thy God in vayne We pray Sanctified be thy Name God sayth Remember that thou keep holy the Saboth day as Gods kingdomes badge We pray Thy Kingdome come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen God sayth Honour thy Father and Mother that it may be well with thee We pray Giue us all estates our competent nourishment God sayth Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not committe adulterie Thou shalt not steale Thou shalt not beare false witnesse against thy neighbour Thou shalt not covet We pray Forgiue us our trespasses as me forgiue them that trespasse against us and lead us not into hard tryals but deliver us from evill Now the Proem of the Decalogue and end of the Prayer are to be viewed God sayth I am the Eternall thy God that brought thee out of the Land of Egypt that was with great glorie and with the blood of the Lambe and overthrow of Pharaoh and his Host in the Redde Sea and terror of Nations and plague of Amalek that would fight against his Cousins in Izhak and shaking of the earth and flight of the Sea Ieremie telleth that the Deliverie from Babel should be more glorious and what perswaded 49000 Iewes to leaue Babel but the hope of him which should come with the Cloudes of Heauen and haue Kingdome power and glorie for ever In the first yeere of Bel-esh-zar they saw that Bel and Idols bred but fire and sorrow and eternall Rest was in the kingdome of Christ and they knew when the kingdome should fall and Cyrus deliver them and all Nations heare of their demanding of the way to Sion upon the hope of the Sonne of Man comming to shew the Kingdome of heauen to all Nations and to shake euen the heauen of Moses pollicie so that hope turned to the worlds salvation by Christ wherefore that speach was worthy to be in the Lords prayer to light our hearts in Christ without whom we haue no right at all to say Abba Father Wherefore they that denie this glorious sentence to be part of the New Testament or countenance the denyers are in most haynous blame and should amend all that is amisse Everie blemish wherewith wee staine Scripture wil grieue the sage especially the mayming of the prayer which first the Holy Ghost gaue for the verie syllables to be a perpetuall forme in the Church If our sacrifice be herein blemished God will not so willingly heare us I Belieue in God the Father Almightie maker of heauen and earth and in Iesus Christ 〈◊〉 sonne our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Marie suffred under Pontius Pilate was crocified dead and buried he went to the World of soules the third day he arose from the dead and ascended into heauen and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father from thence he shall come to judge both the quick the dead I belieue in the Holy Ghost that there is a holy Catholique Church the Communion of Saincts the forgiuenes of sinnes the resurrection of the bodie and life everlasting Amen A direct Explanation of the Article of our Lords soules departure from this world THE Holy Ghost teacheth plainly that our Lord his soul went from his bodie into the hands of God for so he sayth O Father into thy hands I commend my spirit And so the faythfull Thief believed when he sayd O Lord remember thou me when thou cemest in to thy Kingdome He as the Scribes and Doctors believed that all faythful soules goe from this world unto the joyes of God which place they call Paradise And that belief our Lord confirmed saying This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise And S. Paul speaketh to the Hebrews that through the veile of his flesh he went into the holy Place into Heauen Common speach called the place of the starres Heauen and because it is the bewtie of the visible world they held it the fittest terme to expres the world where God shewed himself to the blessed in joy before his throne And the cursed which are there haue a place of torments called by a borrowed speach Gehinnam the Valley of Hinnom that was properly a place neere Ierusalem where children were brent to Molesh and being a most miserable place was fit to shew the seat of them which haue ascended hence to Gods throne to abide a judgment unto eternal paynes be tormented before God and Lam for ever and ever All souls of men ascend and none ever descended but as death his inferior to life it is termed a descent and the going from a place lower of esteeme is called a descent as from Ierusalem to Samaria That which Christians call the world to come is called of the Iews in their common writings the world of souls and of the Grecians of all ages Hades And the Philosophers hield it a most happie thing for a just man to goe from this World to Hades The Apostles Articles of belief was written in Greeke according to the Greek it must be expounded There is Hades the World of souls where be distinct places

the joy of our soules and it were better for us that we were never born then to misse of this for the price is Gehenna While the families that hoped in Christ were few that one Bishop might teach them the Law was not written Sem Arphaxad Selah Heber Abraham and his sonnes by Returah whence Iob was Isaac Iacob Ioseph taught theirs the redemtion by word of mouth equitie by the Law of nature But when Israel multiplied a few suffised not to be Bishops then a Law was written and all Israel fortie yeeres had leasure to learne it And Levites were the common Bishops in the land as Bishop Eleazar speciall one PAKID a man of charge is Episcopus in the LXX 1 Timoth. 3. But not Levites onely were learned Al Paroches through the twelue Tribes had their Doctors of their owne and all of Israel often and no Levite as some were only of Levites in their 48 townes lotted to Levi and the high Councill might be all of Israel or all of Levi as it should fal out The Synagogues or Paroches had nothing to doe with sacrifice nor had any ceremonie of Levi no cope of Linnen as Aaron neither linnen only one shirt a Girdle and a Cappe as Levites in the Temple Neyther might they any more imitate Aharons attire then they might sacrifice there In their Synagogues they read the Law and all saving hand-laborers thrice a weeke from Childhood frequented Divinitie-scholes Of them the chief were chosen to rule and to teach after Angelus Ecclesiae had read or they might by sage leaue read after reading the chosen to rule and to teach called Elders or Bishops desired the best in esteem to speake or after often approbation they might offer their payns And this Policie Luc. 4. and 1 Corin. 14. alloweth So reason bred this policie and the holy Nation practised the same 1400 yeres knowing it a hard point to sanctifie Gods Law and to beware the taking of Gods Name in vayn Many high poyn●s stand herein The truth of the Texts of both Testaments for the purenes of Coppies and the right helps for understanding the sufficiencie of Gods Word for salvation these be the chiefest and all deceived kingdomes are cursed for missing herein and the best may begin to looke better about them And all of wealth must know that their bent must be to know how to sanctifie Gods name As rash swearers so al deceived doe take Gods name in vayn Wherfore all that are of abilitie should from youth know the Law and all wel might by skilfull guides and a kingdome of Glorie must haue many glorious in it and they be simple that hope by bare hearing of Sermons to become learned As many Gentlemen spend their tyme to sanctifie Gods name so all should the most part would if Teachers learned before they taught The effect of this maketh the kingdome of heauen to be amongst us that men should obey God in CHRIST on earth as the Angels obey being sent out ministring spirits for them that shall inherit salvation For that we haue one day in the Law the seauenth day which Adam kept and all the Fathers til in Egypt they forsook Gode Then they found by Manna not rayned that day which was the sabboth and they are commanded to remember and keep that Day holy And that day our Lord rested wholly in the graue and so finished the Ceremonie And his resurrection bringing light into the world made the day where in God sayd Let there be light as it was the first in order to be also the first in dignitie In the beginning the first day after Adam fell Adam bestowed in sacrifice to meditate on Christ his Rest and the first day after performance of that Rest became the LORDS DAY which Angels with most comfortable joy celebrate in the Gospell and in which our Lord often shewed himself wherefore the Church kept it Act. 20. and Apoc. 1. our Lord appeared unto Iohn in Patmos and took away the covering from all the Bible on that day being called the LORDS Day So the same authoritie which appointed Adam the next day to his fall to Rest in hope of Christ appointeth us the next to our Lords Rest performed most absolutely Adam was to studie upon the Creation which his fall brought under vanitie and upon the hope of better Rest And we are to joy in the day of our Light manifested unto the world and a plaine token of the new world So the Iewes Sabboth and ours tende both to one and the same purpose though the day be altered And their universal consent standeth from Moses playn narration for the word of not eating of the Tree of knowledge of good and evill and Satans reply and the eating and sentences and losse of Paradise that all fell the same day the first day of man and accordingly at noone day our Lord on the tree began the Combat with Satan and at the cool of the day went into his kingdome through the vaile of his flesh leaving this world which the Latine heathen call Descendere ad Inferos the Grekes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Iewes to returne to God or to asceud And they are barbarous babes that know neyther Latin Creek nor Ebrew nor Divinitie whither just soules were to goe The terme Kingdoms is taken in three degrees 1.
