Thy Sonne hath said His Kingdome vvas not of this Worlde because he would not rule visibly and temporally but spiritually and eternally Yet thou hast giuen him power in heauen and in earth to redeeme sinners and to saue sinnefull men What Kingdome can bee greater more glorious and firme What power can bee more ample or so beneficiall What glory can shine more in and vnder the firmament of Heauen O

dishonour it and thereby destroy our own soules Thy Kingdome is already come both in heauen and in the hearts of the Regenerate O graunt vs regenerate hearts that wee may come vnto thee and vnto thy kingdome Thy Will O good and gracious God is that they whom thou hast ordayned to bee Saints in Heauen should bee holy and so serue thee to doe thy will here on earth that they may attaine to thy

hardnesse of our hearts and will bee of our future greater punishments except thou in thy mercy forget and forgiue our former trespasses make vs able hereafter to amend them and make vs charitable to forgiue the trespasses of our brethren offending vs as we doe thee It is not thou gracious God that leadest vs into temptations but wee are ledd into them by our owne lustes and infirmities wee fall into them by our owne fraileties wee are inuited by the inticements o● others and by the subtiltie of Satan I● thou good God dost suffer and no● sustaine vs wee no● onely receiue bu● runne headlong

hereafter enter into the ioyes of that celestiall kingdome which is thine and which thou hast prepared for such as truely serue thee heere and shall bee blessed Saints in heauen Amen Certaine short Prayers and Meditations vpon the ten Commandements I am the Lord thy God that brought thee out of Bon dage SInce thou O Lord GOD great and glorious hast brought vs from bondage not onely corporall but from spirituall and eternall captiuitie by sending thy Sonne our Sauiour to suffer for our sinnes Suffer vs not O gracious God to fall againe into worse then the Aegyptian bondage of Idolatry
