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. For Gods powre over all 2. for his mercies manifestation and 3. for the happie state of glorie in heauen But all goe by knowledge together they which know God aright as Governour will embrace him as a Redeemer and shal finde him an eternall comforter For these degrees wee pray but the second is most of difficultie for the minde to goe up to heauen to bring Christ downe and to goe to the deep to bring Christ from the dead and to dye with Christ and to seeke those things which are aboue Therefore Gods powre in Christ is by the noblest part called the kingdome of Heauen And the government in the Gospel affaires to cherish and rule men in the Church is the policie of heauen The Iewes though they many of them knew not the person of Christ yet they had haue all that the Apostles teach and therefore therein no strife was in al the N. Testament both sides held the same minde for the old Testament and differed not for one letter Both held the same Common places from Moses and agree saving in Traditions and about MESSIAH but for government they agreed Archysynagogus Readers of the Law and prophets the qualities of a Bishop or Elder the providing for the poor the manner of excommunication and absolution the Laws to bridle Elders from tyranny all these are the same in both and reason requireth so much and will suffer no more in effect And our Policie might soone come in equitie nere this if all Bishops were as many be and they which worst may would not be holden the Candle A translation by consent studie of
Greeke tongue cited in Clemens Eusebius and in Anthologia Now by this which hath been spoken we see the terme Father the terme Elehim and Iehovah how they be all one Also that IEHOVAH is spoken of CHRIST Isat 6 9. and Iohn 12 41. doe shew and that CHRIST is Iehovah euen the Talmud granteth from Ier. 23 and againe 31. I wil raise unto David the Brightnes the lust and the name by which they shall call him is Jehovah our righteousnes so we see how the first word in holy Prayer of the Decalogue to be all one Here we acknowledge the true God the Eternal of Nature and counsel Creator and governor of all things and holy Iustice and unspeakable mercy and all truth in all 〈◊〉 honoureth these names● as errors and haeresies argue their authors not to knowe the name of God Now for the terme Father in respect of Creature wee must weigh the use The Starres the Angels be called the sonnes of God Iob. 3. 8. When the morning starres were glad together and the sonnes of God shouted So the Angels which were created with the light the first day they are the sonnes of Them the Mightie the Trinitie These Angels saw the frame of Meteores and distinction of waters fish fonles and beasts how they could not serue their turne And when man was made though of the slime of the earth yet in soule equall he was to Angels in wi●re to giue names to Creatures And therefore when God gaue his Angels charge to serue man that he should not hurt his foote against a stone all should haue knowne that he made his Angel spirits and his Ministers a fla●●● of fire But some of them disdained to marke how all was made for man and rebelled against IEHOVAH E●OU●M disturbed all the course of wisedome and brought man to rebellion and all the Creature subject unto groning wherupon a new course is manifested that the SONNE of God should take the nature of man to be our brother that God might be his Father as he is man and ours for him who came to performe obedience unto death to giue life presently for our soules passing hence to heauen when they leaue the body as he through the Vaile of his flesh entred into the joy of the Father and they who stubbornly deny that can haue no hope of salvation And by his Resurrectiō our bodies shal arise in the later day al of both sots as in our death of body al soules returne to God that gaue them to abide judgment for every hid thing good or evil On high be places of light and joy called heauen On high be places of torment called Hell the separation is large enough that the one can not passe to the other The general name is cōmon to both THE WORLD OF SOVLS to the Iewes who knew that all soules ascend out of this world HADES or unknown place to heathen who knew not any thing out of this world but thought there were beyond the gates of the sunne as Homer speaketh or out of the light of the skie places of distinct state garden for the godly and Tartarus prison for the wicked Then Heathen took not Heauen as we doe for a place of Gods glorie out of this world but for some part of the starrie skie as Iustin Martyr disputeth against them But the Scripture lifteth us aboue the heauen of the aire and heauen of starres into a third heauen unto that our Lord w●nt from the crosse unto that S. Paul was taken up and all saythfull shal haue a Tabernacle there when this earthly dwelling is dissolved The Thiefe knew that our Lords soule should goe hence thither as all just and our Lord doth confirme him therein This course the Creater tooke taking our nature unto him to be our brother that we may by his spirit cry Abba Father In this sense we cry Abba Father and Elohim and Eternall and O thou that hearest prayer unto thee shall all flesh come Israel felt by an outward blessing of deliverance from Egypt the spiritual deliverance from Hel by IEHOVAH the Eternall which none other could performe that he should be their Father and they should haue no other Elohim mightie defender but him that he only should be the hearer of their prayer and thus the terme Father and Iehovah and Elohim our mightie Iudge and defender sound one and the same thing We trespasse deadly when we pray to any other against the Law Him only shalt thou serue upon which Law the Scribes sitting upon Moses chaire say thus we haue bene taught from age to age that this worship is Prayer David confirmeth this saying Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will heare thee and thou shalt worship me and our Lord more expresly in this chap. When ye pray pray unto your Father which is in heauen And neither the holy Apostles ever not the common Iewes at this day in their Synagogue pray but unto the Creator The Iewes know him not yet hold the generall of praying only to God as the holy Doctors Simeon Zacharie and our Lord his Kinred in S. Luke chap. 3. and Matth. 1. professed openly And as he that sacrificed unto any but unto God was to be destroyed as cursed So the greater subduction of honor from God maketh one more cursed But prayer is more then sacrifice Therefore the giving of the greater to a Creature is more cursed By this the Pseudo-Catholiques must confesse they haue no hope of salvation darkening knowledge by words wil nothing help their turne Their heart telleth them that they haue small hope in God that seeke to Creatures whereas God dwelleth in light that none can come to Creatures know not the heart of man nor how God pittieth or hardeneth to shew his most wise government of the world So they can not call upon him whom they knowe not and misse of the true Father as Bastards and they misse wilfully and grope like the blinde at noone day Now the terme our protesteth that we will haue no other Elohim but him none other Patrons for our life and soule but him who is our Creator by him we came into the World to his providence only we commit our state his Angels pitch their tents about us when he commandeth but not any our supplication to them When Abraham with his owne family fought against four kings he trusted only in God and as God would the Angels fought for him not by any prayer unto them Neither did he pray eure unto Adam or Henoch whom he knew to be in Paradise but made God only his Iudge On earth Ciuil Magistrates be Elohim and the Angels also be so called as Psal 97 7. Let all the Elohim worship him But for Civil Officers so farre they must be followed euen the heathen as they hold the Law of nature In assemblies of Gods people which may make judges of
in condemnation For this we condemne all of Adam that they offend us and we them and we pardon them considering the common miserie and so craue pardon of God as we pardon them And herein we consider the cause of our fall for murdering hate for adulterous desire for thievish sophistrie for lying falsehood and desiring more then our owne Outward occasions tempt our weake natures and to God we pray that he would deliver us from them God tempteth no man to ill but he tempteth all men by outward tryals and unles God help us by Satans whelps we will be soon caught from him we pray to be delivered as in all things he is brsie by reason that all in the world Is the desire of the eye the desire of the flesh and the pride of life whence we are at warre with our selues And thus prayer for grace and commandement for duetie haue been compared Now followeth a conclusion of most glorious stile For thyne is the kingdome the powre and glorie for ever and ever this Conclusion commeth most goodly and most godly and when we marke whence it commeth a world of knowledge commeth with it But first we haue a great Combat for the possession of it The Pope his Latin Translation hath it not he disputeth that it should be a trifling addition by Gregory Martyn his Arabique Translation printed at Rome hath it not and our Communion book for which our Right Reverend Fathers too much contend hath it not And one Greeke Coppie in the French Librarie cited R. Ste. had it not what shall we then say to it if it be no part of the Bible it is wicked to say our Lord spake it and by our BB. subscription it is evident that we haue not a new Testament The sewes say for the Testament in Ierusal Saned A Testament that fayleth in part fayleth in all Wherefore our Bishops must herein leaue the Pope and he must looth himself And thus standeth the Case strong by coppies and stronger by matter first of sixteen Coppies in the French Librarie cited by Ro. Stephen fifteene had this clause and reason might tell some trifler left it out eyther by the Latine or by not knowing why S. Luke left it out But all of judgement know that abridgers in Scripture be short And S. Luke in the blessings hath but fiue of the whole And from the first Narrator matters are to be had as euen the Pope standeth to his Latine for S. Matthew Besides the Arabique written Translations one which I haue brought lately from the East an other which the worthy renowmed Arias Montanus lent the learned Printer Raphelingius these haue the saying Thyne is the Kingdome the powre and glorie for ever and ever And here commeth the Pope to judgment how his Arabique Coppie should not agree with the Greeke seing other Coppies doe if Coppies common haue that sentence how should his misse it The Arabique notation is plaine and voyde of schooltricks and seing their Translations that are abroad haue this clause reason telleth that the Greeke Originals that went over Arabia had it as all the usuall in the West Besides the Chaldi Ethiopian printed at Rome hath this and the nation was large reaching over East South So millions of Originall Greek Coppies in those quarters are supposed to haue the same Also the Siriaque Translation hath Thine is the Kingdome the Powre and Glorie for ever and ever so millions then held it part of the New Testament and hold the Pope a Corrupter And Theophilact in Greeke printed at Rome 1542 hath the sentence So by number of voyces it standeth as Gods word And better by matter for when the four fierce beasts Daniel 7. had taken away the holy Iewes Kingdome One like a SONNE OF MAN commeth in the clouds of heauen and goeth againe to the everlasting in dayes and to him is giuen kingdome power and glorie over all nations There is a plaine prophecie of the Incarnation and Ascention of our Lord and soone after the yeere of his death is told and withall a returne from Babel by hope in his blood as from Egypt by the blood of a Lambe And so this sentence conteyneth all the Gospell And if God had not spoken it man had never thought of it But now we see a most glorious Conclusion and fitte for his wisdome whom all Nations People and Tongues should honour To whom be all glorie for ever Amen A POSTSCRIPT To all that wish to be heard in prayer An Advertisement of the Lords Prayer wounded from the Popes Translation against Gods Greeke the onely Anchor of our Hope TWO things we are to use for Religion if we will be voide of wavering and we should be vigilant for them for we haue been greatly deceived and hurte by negligence ignorance herein First this we must hold that we haue a pure Bible to every letter when coppies are wisely examined though particular coppies jarre yet alwayes some hold that which reason telleth the Author wrote The other is that we be able to shewe for all that wee hold to be the Bible against all adversaries that the words beare the wisdom of God and that no man could speake to such wise purpose as all sage will still confirme by sure consent Against both these we trespas in the communion book for the Lords Prayer of which we should esteeme more then of all the Iewels in the world we leaue out from the Lords Prayer in S. Matthew as the Popes Latin Testament doth this saying Thine is the kingdome the powre and glorie for ever and ever being in the Greeke Originall which only is properly the New Testament and being taken by our Lord from Dan. 7. where his kingdome lightneth al the world more then the Chalcedon of Iudah gaue light in the chosen or right Care in Aharons breast The greatnes of our error in both must be weighed in Goldsmiths ballances if we care to avoyd the wrath of him which peyseth the mountains in weight First we betray our ground of fayth make our selues ascoffe to the Iewes and Turkes the Iewes hold it to be impossible for God to be a giver of the New Testament not a preserver all creatures God preserveth in their kind and to the Iewes the old Testament that no one letter can be lost by a worke of many a thousand eyes and hands as a dictionarie for this purpose And if we cannot defend that we haue a pure New Testament for everie word in some coppie they will and wel may thinke that we haue but quicksands for the stay of our Religion so the Iewes would damne us And as Arias Montanus recordeth the Turkes make this their ground that the Scripture is corrupt and Machumed an author of uncorrupt wisdome gaue them Conqnest by his skill But the Pope presseth nearer for thus he reasoneth If the Scripture be corrupt the Church must judge But the Scripture is corrupt
of joy for our Lord and Abraham Lazarus and all the holy called Heauen and of sorrow called Hell The souls of the one place know the case of the other And when we speak of the just that he is gone to Hades we meane that he is gone hence unto the joyes of God And so would all Grecians in the world understand the Christians Symbolum or badge of our Profession When men speak of a horse losing life they would say He is dead when of a man that hath an immortall soule He is dead and gone to Hades the one for the bodie the other for the soule And Heathen had no greater ground of incouragement to dye for their Counttey then the hope of good in Hades And hence we must note that our Lord twice ascended once in soul onely from the Crosse the other tyme in bodie and soul into the ayre and unto the place of joy where all glorie shineth The English He descended into Hel is as cleane contrary to the Greek which is our ground herein as black is to white and as we take Hell therein we deny our Lord to be the holy one of God and our foregoer into joy for he hath sayd that none shall passe from the damned to Abraham And if we be found to haue contrarie rules of fayth God will judge us wicked for professing as Trueth matter disagreable The mainteyners of the translation He descended to Hell should be forced to revoke that and the high scholars to translate it aright And as holy Matrons many of old were prophets openly did good so alwayes they ought to know the truth and to require where they may the contrarie to be removed The wicked will be wicked still and no wicked will understand But the wise will understand H.
