enemies 1 Sathan takes vpon him to be the Prince of this world and maketh many beleeue that hee hath power to giue kingdomes where he listeth 2 The Pope vsurpeth dominion ouer all Princes and giues out that God hath set him in the world ouer the nations and ouer kingdomes to roote out and to pull downe and to destroy and to throw downe and to build and io plant Blasphemously applying to himselfe the power which God giueth to his Word in the Ministery of the Prophets 3 There is imperium peccati of which the Apostle saith When they knew God they glorified him not as God but became vaine in their imaginations and their foolish hearts were darkened professing themselues wise they became fooles and changed the glory of the vncorruptible God into an image made like to a corruptible man and to birdes and four-footed beastes and creeping things 4 There is imperium mortis Death reigned from Adam to Moses That is before the law was written much more hath death reigned since the law published for the strength of sinne is the law Death came in by sinne and hath dilated an empire ouer all the earth that we see daily what desolations it maketh in the same It is appointed to al men once to die 2 Concerning Sathan Christ saith The Prince of this world is cast out and Saint Paul saith The God of peace shall crush Sathan vnder your feete shortly And when we pray Let the kingdome of thy power come we pray that God would destroy the kingdome of Sathan and cast him out and tread him vnder our feete that God may reigne abroad gloriously in the world 2 Concerning the Pope hee is that Antichrist that man of sinne the sonne of perdition of which the Apostle speaketh who exalteth himselfe aboue all that is called God or is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himselfe that he is God But it followeth that The Lord shall consume him with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy him with the brightnesse of his comming Whose comming is after the working of Sathan with all power and signes and lying wonders Therfore when we pray that the kingdome of Gods power may come wee pray that God would be pleased to appeare in power against this vsurper and deluder of his subiects to destroy him that he may no longer infatuate and befoole the world with an opinion of his power or holinesse but that hee may be reuealed as hee is a man of sinne ful of subtilty and the child of the deuil as Simon Magus his predecessor and the true founder of his impostures was 3 Concerning sinne the Apostle hath aduised Let not sinne reigne in your mortall bodies that you should obey it in the lusts thereof He hath also comforted vs againe Sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you for yee are not vnder the Law but vnder Grace Wee pray therefore that God would exercise this his power against the kingdome of sinne that the body of sinne may be destroyed that henceforth wee should not serue sinne For the Dominion of sinne doth teach men to resist the power of God and to say Nolumus hunc regnare super nos it teacheth man to be proud and cruell Dauid Lord how long shall the wicked how long shall the wicked triumph How long shall they vtter and speake hard things and all the workers of iniquity b●ast themselues They breake in peeces thy people O Lord and afflict thine heritage They slay the widow and the fatherlesse and murther the stranger Yet they say the Lord shall not see Sinne is a dominearing and daring tyrant so that wee haue cause with Dauid to awake the iustice of God against it O Lord God to whom vengeance belongeth O God to whom vengeance belongeth shew thy selfe Lift vp thy selfe thou iudge of the earth render a reward to the proud and that is our adveniat regnum tuum 4 Concerning death which maketh such hauocke in the workes of God God hath said O death I will be thy plagues O graue I will be thy destruction repentance shall be hid from mine eyes And this is that we pray for let thy kingdome of thy power destroy death for euer that we may insult ouer it saying O death where is thy sling O graue where is thy victory We pray God to take his rod of yron into his hand and to breake in peeces all the rebels to his kingdome of power here on earth 2 Concerning the kingdome of grace 1 We pray that that kingdome may come that is that God would declare his Sonne the king and Soueraigne Monarch of his Church and that he would rule therein by his Word and holy Spirit 2 That God would aduance the kingdome of his Sonne Iesus Christ in the hearts of all his elect people seuerally that they may liue in the knowledge loue faith and obedience of him 1 And this is a most necessarie petition to be put vp often to God in regard of those enemies which doe oppose this domination and seeke to dethrone the Sonne of God in vs. 2 And in regard of those necessarie graces which are wanting in vs and can by no other way be supplied but by the aduancement and establishment of that kingdom in vs. 1 For the enemies of this kingdome 1 The great enemie of the Church is Sathan the Prince of darkenesse that great red Dragon in the Reuelation that watched the woman with childe to deuoure the fruite of her wombe as soone as it should be borne this is the Deuil persecuting the Church of God the fruitfull mother of the elect whose issue we are This is he that corrupted our first parents in Paradice by his temptations and hauing sowed his seed of all iniquitie in them defiled the whole nature of mankind and made it obnoxious to the curse of the Law And when the second Adam came to accomplish the remedy of that fall hee persecuted him by Herod in his infancie that he was to be carried into Egypt for refuge and after his Baptisme hee tempted him in the wildernesse fortie dayes and this Prince of the world set many a worke to bring him to the Crosse he came himselfe to him with a new assault a little before his passion as Christ himselfe confest but he had nought in him of his to worke vpon This Lyon goeth about continually compassing the earth seeking whom he may deuoure whom resist saith Peter our way of resistance is to pray Adueniat regnum tuum 2 The world is an enemie to this kingdome of Christ for Christ saith The world hateth you because you are not of the world that is the wicked sonnes of disobedience who are called filij saeculi huius Vnder this title of the world I comprehend all the open and secret enemies of the Gospell The Pope here we will giue him the first place because his scarlet vesturs are died

our owne bread And that is called our owne bread as you haue heard which according to Gods ordinance wee doe labour and sweat for and that is intended in this petition da nobis that is giue it to our honest labours in a lawfull calling The Apostle doth so presse this labour vpon vs that thereby we many acquire both a competency to relieue our owne wants and an ouerplus to giue to such as need and this blessing vpon our honest endeuours is here begged of God The sonne of Iakeh prayeth feed me approuing it lawfull for euery particular person to pray first for himselfe and his owne sustentation This also reproueth the idle and vnthrifty those that take no care for the necessaries of life and those that waste them wee say they are foes to none but themselues but such are friends to none the Apostle calleth them euill beasts slowbellies for with what face can they say da nobis that either refuse or abuse and waste the meanes that should giue them their bread It lost Esau his birthright quia maluit victum accipere quam acquirere Multitudes of these weeds grow vp amongst vs who take no care for their owne bread and cast themselues wilfully vpon the charity of others drinking the sweat of others browes and deuouring the bread of idlenesse the iust lawes of this kingdome doe shut vp our charity against those who liue vpon the spoile and take no care for their owne support Solomon saith rods be for the backs of fooles and our whipping posts are set vp for such and S. Pauls rule is our warrant to let them that will not labour goe without meat And from this head of carelesnesse to get their owne bread come those night burglaries and day pilferies and highway insurrections and cunny catching conueyances to rob such as labour for our owne bread 2 Nobis includeth their owne families which also teacheth vs euery one to haue a care of wife and children to prouide for them how shall wee looke for the honour due to parents and masters of families if wee neglect our necessary care of them The good woman in the Prouerbs is noted for this care She riseth while it is yet night that is before the Sunne and she giueth meat to her houshold and a portion to her maydens and after followeth her houshold are cloathed with double garments The Apostle saith If there be any that prouideth not for his owne and namely for them of his houshold hee denieth the faith and is worse then an infidell The Apostle saith If there be any such for it is presumed that none should be such but such infidels wee haue too many that drinke downe the maintenance of their families at drunken sittings that eat vp their bread from them at gluttenous banquets and feasts that play away the bread of their owne houses in vnthrifty gaming 's that waste the legacies and hereditary dimensions and the wages of their labour vpon harlots The Apostle telleth vs how wee should esteeme them as infidels that deny the faith They haue put out that light of nature which shineth in the beasts of the field in the foules of the ayre for nature teacheth them to take care of their yong they build nests for them they feed them till they can shift for themselues The Hen gathereth her yong ones vnder her wings but these wastfull consumers of their meanes pluck out the feathers from their owne wings that they can neither flye themselues nor shelter their young without naturall affection and of a reprobate sense they stench the congregation where they liue with their noisome and vngodly conuersation But thou man of God flye these things and seeke thy bread for thy selfe for thy family that they may blesse thee 3 This nobis doth put vs in minde that we doe liue in society homo est animal sociale wee must pray for bread for the common-wealth in which we liue non est bonum nisi in communi bono the state in which we liue doth exact this common care of all the parts of the body thereof that we suffer not the society of men to suffer partem patria No states haue euer thriued better then those that haue most studied and laboured the common good and nothing doth sooner bring in an vniuersall miserie then the ouermuch retiring of our care to euery ones particular This hath multiplied grieuances when some particular persons haue found out proiects to heale themselues by wounding of the common-wealth and it is generally prognosticated that many of these grieuances will put forth this spring in our state God giue wisedome and courage and skill to the state-Physitians to heale these sores The King the head of this body must be supported and bread is the care of the state to supply it for this cause pay ye tribute saith the Apostle the necessities of state must be supported for the honour thereof and that the faculties of weldoing may not faile Charity seeketh not her owne things so long as wee labour and pray for the good of our Common-wealth we shall not want bread for in the plenty and peace of our whole land we shall haue both peace and plenty Those that milke the Common-wealth and draw the breasts of it till bloud come are enemies of society and the bread that is thus gotten will be grauell in their mouthes God be mercifull vnto vs to detect and confound all such proiections and let our Common-wealth that hath beene so glorious in the eye of all the world renue her glory thus blemished in late daies 4 This nobis doth especially oblige our care to the members of the mysticall body of Christ all those that are parts of the Church of God that we labour God in our prayers for the prosperity of Sion and for Ierusalems welfare that wee may see the Church of God in prosperity all our life long and that we may procure her good The poore persecuted members of Christ in the bloudie violence put vpon them in France fled hither in multitudes to seeke bread God be euer blessed for the piety and charity of our nation toward them their loines blesse vs and their mouthes testifie for vs that the charitable and hospitall entertainments which they gaue to our fathers in France flying from the persecution of Queene Mary whose garments were dyed in the bloud of Gods Saints were not forgotten The Apostle commendeth this charity to vs with a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 especially to the houshold of faith O Lord let not them want bread that feare thee and call vpon thy name 5 Nobis doth include our Ministers that breake vs the bread of life it is our care and duty to see to them that they want not bread God hath resigned to vs his owne portion and hee that hath set vs a worke hath designed our wages hee would not haue the Altar so leane that hee that attendeth at the
