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
shoulde be cleped the chyldren of god Which name none of vs durste ones touche in prayer but if he had permitted vs soo to praye Therfore deere bretherne we ought to remēbre and knowe that whan we cal god father we oughte to behaue vs as children of god that as we take a pleasure to haue god our father so he maye be pleased to haue vs his chyldren we shoulde behaue vs as the temples of god that it myght appere that god dwelleth in vs. Ne our dedes shoulde not vary from the spirit that we that haue begunne to be heuenly and spirituall shulde thynke nor doo but heuenly and spiritualle thynges For god hym selfe saythe I wyll glorifie theym that glorifie me and he that despiseth me shal be despised Also the blessed apostel in his epistell sayth ye are not your owne for ye be bought with a great price glorifie and beare god in your body ¶ After this we saye Halowed be thy name not that we desyre of god that his name shulde be halowed by oure prayers but we aske of him that his name maye be halowed in vs. For of whome is god sanctified whiche hym selfe sanctifieth other but bicause he saith Be ye holy for I am holy therfore we desyre and pray that we that are sanctified in baptysme maye perseruer abyde in that we haue begun and this daily we pray for For truly we had nede to be dayly sanctified that we whiche synne dayly might pourge our synnes with continuall fanctifycation But what this sanctification is that god vouchsafeth to giue vs the apostelle declareth sayienge Nother fornicatours nor Idoll worshippers nor brekers of wedlocke nor weakelynges nor abusers of them selfes with mākynd nor theues nor the couetous nor drunkardes nor sclanderers nor cursed speakers nor extorcioners shall inheryte the kyngedome of god And suche haue you ben but ye be washed ye ar made rightuous ye are sanctified in the name of oure lorde Iesu Christe and in the spirite of our god He saythe we be sāctified in the name of our lorde Iesu Christe and in the spirite of our god That this sanctification shulde remayne in vs we pray and bycause god our iudge menasseth the healed and the relyued of hym to sinne no more now leste he shulde be worse handled we make this continuall prayer this we craue bothe daye night that the sanctification and viuificatiō that is goten by the grace of god might be kept by his protection There foloweth in this prayer Thy kyngdome come We desyre also that his kyngedome be represented vnto vs lykewyse as we aske that his name maye be halowed in vs. For whanne doth not god reigne or whan begynneth his reigne which alway was and euer shal be We desyre our kyngdome to come of god to vs promysed and with the bloudde and passion of Christ gotten that we which before serued in the world may afterward reigne with Christ rulyng lyke as he promyseth and sayth Come ye blessed of my father take and receyue the kyngedome whiche is prepared for you from the beginnyng of the world Truely it may be dere bretherne that Christ hym selfe is the kyngdome of god whiche dayly we desyre to come whose commyng we couete soone to se. For seyng that he is oure resurrection and that we ryse agayn in him so likewise he may be vnderstande the kyngdome of god For in hym we shall reigne And we do well to desyre the kyngdome of god that is the kyngdom of heuen For there is also an erthely kyngdome But he that now forsaketh the worlde is greatter than the honours and kyngedome therof and therfore he that dedicateth hym self to god and Christe desyreth not the erthly but the heauenly kyngdome We had nede to pray cōtinually leste we falle frome the heauenly kyngedome as the Iewes dyd to whom it was fyrste promysed as oure lorde hym selfe manyfestely proueth Many saythe he shall come from the easte and west and shall reste with Abraham Isaac and Iacob in the kyngedome of heuen But the chylderne of the kyngedome shall be caste out into vtter darknesse there shal be wailynge and gnashynge of tethe He sheweth this bycause the Iewes were afore chylderne of the kyngdome as longe as they continued to be the chyldren of god But after the name of the father ceassed amonge them theyr kyngedome ceassed withall And therfore we christians whiche in our prayer haue begonne to call god father do also praye that the kyngedom of god may come to vs. ¶ We adde therto and saye Thy wyll be done in erthe as it is in heuen not that god shuld do that he wol but that we may do that god wol For who withstandeth god but that he may do what he wol But bycause the dyuelle withstandeth vs that our myndes in all thynges and in euery act obeyeth nat god we praye and desyre that the wylle of god maye be done in vs whiche to the ende it may be done in vs we haue nede of Goddes wyll that is of goddis helpe and protection for no man is stronge of him selfe but is sure and safe by the indulgence and mercye of god For god declaryng the infirmitie of man whiche he bare himselfe sayth Father if it be possible let this cuppe passe from me And gyuynge an exaumple to his disciples that they shulde not do theyr owne but goddis wylle he added therto sayinge Neuerthelesse not as I wylle but as thou wylte And in an nother place he saythe I discended not from heuen to do myn owne wyll but his that sente me If that the sonne was obedient to doo the fathers wyll Howe moche more oughte the seruaunt to be obedient to do goddis wyll Saynte Iohū alsoo lykewyse in hys epistle exhortethe and instructeth vs to do the wylle of god sayenge Se that ye loue not the world neither the thinges that are in the world If any man loue the world the loue of the father is nat in hym For all that is in the worlde is the luste of the fleshe the luste of the eies and the pryde of lyfe whyche is not of the father but of the concupiscence of the worlde and the world passeth awaye and the luste therof But he that doth the wyll of god abydeth for euer lyke as god abydeth for euer We that woll abyde for euer must fulfyl the wyll of god whiche is eternalle The wylle of god is which Christ both taught and fulfilled humilitie in conuersation stablenesse in feyth myldnes in wordes ryghtousenesse in dedes mercy in workes discipline in maners not to knowe to do iniurie and to suffre wronge done to lyue quietly amonge brethern to loue god with all the harte to loue hym bycause he is the father to feare hym bycause he is god to esteme nothynge aboue Chryste for he estemed nothing aboue vs to cleaue to his charitie inseparably to sticke to his crosse strongly and faythefullye whan for
