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
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
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.
