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.

came into the world by which we may trye what is light and from God and what is darknes and from Satan When God speaketh he speaketh to the heart of all men and as an hammer breaketh stones so his word maketh hearts to yeeld that appeareth in all parts of Gods word specially in this Forme of prayer It hath the Consent of al natiue light for the open phrase more nerely of the Iewes Scribes for Divinitie and truely the summe of Christianitie euen as the two Tables had of old The Law commandeth all good and here we craue grace for to doe all that is good That we may hold GOD to be our God and only That we regarde him as not resemblable by any Image but as dwelling in light that none can come to nor imagine what should be like unto him That we neither thinke nor speake lightly of him or of his Word that teacheth of his Nature but haue skil to honour his Name That we may rest from our owne works and keepe a continuall Sabbath to him having his kingdome amongst us as on high he maketh peace and the mightie Angels doe his wil. These Petitions we make for those things which concerne Gods honour principally Then follow others for our necessitie That we haue a moderate portion neither want in scarcitie nor abound in superfluitie but such as serveth our houshold that the Officers as Fathers and the rest as Brethren and Children may liue together without sorrow and distres Now our sinnes make a partition between GOD and us by Rancor Lust Theft Untruth and Avarice therein we craue pardon and Gods lenitie as we be soft to such as use as amisse And confesse our owne weakenes under the Aegyptiacall slaverie of Satan and under Tyrantes such as the Iewes felt by Babel Madai Iavan with Seleuco-lagidae which as four Beasts made a sea of troubles till CHRIST brought his kingdome power and glorie over all the world This in summe the Lords Prayer hath and the two Tables haue the same and as the Tables be answerable one to the other so is our Lords prayer unto both The Law commandeth all that may be knowne on done and this prayer desireth full grace for so much And as all the fiue Books of Moyses yea the Prophets are but a Commentarie upon the Law so all the New Testament is a Commentarie upon the Lords Prayer and both are pure as silver tryed seauen tymes in a vessel of fined earth wherefore we must examine what is drosse here by our corrupterror and remoue all such from the pure Metall that is from God And we shall neede fire of tryall for the Hebrews the old Scribes and Rabbines with their side who haue continued over the world a great part of them dealers with the Law and to which tenor of speach the New Testament if fitted they hold the phrases all as all the termes of the Law no lesse then we doe but they deny the powre of them Therefore they must be better examined and that will we doe by Gods helpe in this sorte First considering the knowledge and honour of God● next our neede and distresse and still compare the Lords prayer with the Dealogue Our first speach here is of GOD how we doe acknoledge him we say O our Father much try all there must be of this world before the pure meaning appeareth The Heathen Philosophers could say Zeup●te● Iupiter the Father 〈◊〉 yet they were godlesse in this world Also the Iew sayth good words from holy Moyses but not 〈◊〉 understood Thou art our Father Isa 63● 10. and againe Is not he thy Father● De●t 3● ● yet both these sorts petish for ever because they knowe not the Father Now the first degree of Father is most holy in this sentence There be three the Father the Word and the Spirit and these three be one so the Father is relatiue to the SON called the WORD as in Prov. 30. Who went up to heauen and came downe who gathereth the winde in his fist who bound up the waters in a garment who hath set the borders of the earth what is HIS Name and the Name of his SONNE if thou knowest it Here we haue Father in the highest degree and the SONNE coeternall who with the SPIRIT aeternall all three one infinite Nature created the world They that misse of Fatherhood in this sense knowe not God and they can not be saved In another sense Father is the ateribute of God without distinction of Person as IEHOVAH in Ebrew ELOHIM which two names must be expounded that all three may be better understood ELOHIM is the first name that the Creator of all hath in the Scripture and in notation it betokeneth MIGHTIE and in forme a pluralitie EL-HEM one mightie nature be They.

IEHOVAH thy MAKERS Of old tyme the Scribes of Doctors of Iehuda held the Trinitie untill stubbornenesse against the Redeemer drew them to extremitie of blindnesse Since they disturbe all and they bred Arrians But the old Rabbins held it not strange to heare of Father Sonne and Holy Spirit in the Vnitie of Godhead and in ELOHIM EL-HEM one mightie Nature be they IEHOVAH likewise is of them held in most high and holy reverence and where CHRIST the great GOD sayth Deut. 18. Thou shalt perfect with IEHOVAH thy GOD he sayth Matth. 5. Ye shall be perfect euen as your Father in heauen is perfect So we see Father to be used for IEHOVAH Now the terme IEHOVAH must be considered though no tongue can tell fully the force of it Being and giving the Being to all things and ruling all in order and performer of promise doth it betoken In the narration of Moses how all the frame of the world was made still untill the whole host of heauen and earth was finished the name ELOHIM only was used But when the perfect Being had appearance then the Creator is termed IEHOVAH ELOHIM S.
