Therefore the Church must judge For the proof of his assumtion euen the Lords prayer is brought a Text dayly in use ever since the Apostles tymes and if he can perswade corruption to be therein he may better doe for other places lesse in use In his Latin Translation this sentence is left out and in his Arabik powre and glorie for ever Amen And we follow him his Latin coppie still in our Common Prayer Book made from his Latin Translation and not from the Greeke Original to make this sure against our selues That the Church not the word should judge that so often as we say the Lords Prayer so often we should help the Pope for the Churches authoritie against the Kingdome Powre and Glorie of Christ and his Word Hence Gregorie Martin the Popes Factor doth triumph against that sentence and doth call it by Erasmus testimonie a trifling Addition and well might he be bold against us seing we joyne with him against our selues And if we had once used the sentence as S. Matthew doth in repetition left it out as S. Luke doth all abridgers in Scripture alter somewhat in speach according as their argument and present scope requireth then we had neyther holpen the Pope nor hurt our selues In S. Matth. chapt 5. 6. 7. our Lord his sermon handleth the Talmudique Common place for the kingdome of MESSIAS upon this Law You shall make you a King over you of your Brethren he sheweth that his kingdom is of the poore in spirit for the meeke for the mourners for the hungrie after justice for the persequuted and such And in the Prayer lappeth the Kingdome from Dan. 7. where the poore Iewes are defended against the four Beasts that come out of the Seas and perished before our Lord his comming in the flesh So to this sense the sentence was most glorious but to bare prayer as the Apostles required a forme it was not easie to consider it without further discourse for men that looked for glorie on the earth and so S. Luke omitted it because it was ynough to be spoken once if we had followed now the one and now the other we had honoured both But now we joyne with the Popes Latine Translation of mans wit and slight mayming of the Bible and that which hath no authoritie against the holy Greeke Original which hath the powre of him that framed all the World and bewtified the heauens by his spirit Professed Scholars that cannot see how they following the Pope betray their forts and holds to the enimie may wel be holden Batts and Mouldwarts The Greeke Testaments all the printed euen among Papists damne the Latine as that of Theophilact printed at Rome and the Ethiopian or Chaldean printed there and the Syriaque printed at Vienna and Antwerp so the strength of trueth is invincible but that wee betray out selues to our enemie and all the glorie of Christ his word And thus much for the purenes of the Text tryed against the Popes greatest hope Now for the other poynt of judgment to discerne what is more then mans witte could breede Here wee haue occasion to marke how this saying Thyne is the kingdome the powre and glorie for ever telleth that God not man spake it and that it is no trifling Addition but a most heauenly Conclusion of him that in the Creation had nothing idle nor imperfect And here we may consider two most profitable matters the one the light this saying giveth to the Prophets the other how it perfecte●h the fitting of prayer to the Decalogue All men should marke in the New Testament where the like saying were in the old that will bring sweet meditation The Pharisies say This is the heire come let us kill him so sayd the Patriarks of Ioseph least he should rule Come let us kill him we see the end God turned both the evils to salvation Elias is termed of bad Achab like his Father Omri Diastrephon a Destroyer so of the Scribes our Lord is called Diastrephon a Destroyer yet Elias was taken up in a fierie Chariot and our Lords Ascention sent fierie tongues and a fire on the earth and we know the ende of Achab and the Iewes may remember a sweet harmonie in Gods judgments old and new alike So S. Paul in his terme of better Resurrection in the Machabean Martyrs taking his phrase from the 12. of Daniell teacheth plainly how that chapter speaketh of Antiochus Epihanes and not of the ende of the world and in one word doth being marked ridde us from errors matching the Lybian sands We had never dreamed of the Romans to be a fourth Monarch there if we had well marked S. Paul But as Antiochus the vile was there spoken of in the end of wrath as in the litle horne chap. 8. so he not a Roman should haue beene holden the litle horne chap. 7. and the last mightie Tyrant of the fourth Beast by such light we may judge God the author of such words Bur that is most manifest in this kingly saying Thyne is the Kingdome the Power and Glorie for ever and ever In Dan. chap. 7. when the fourth Beast is cast into the fire one like a SONNE of MAN commeth with the cloudes of heauen and againe ascendeth to the everlasting and is brought before him and to him was giuen kingdome power and glorie that all nations should serue him The verie Iewes to this day Iarchi and Sadaias upon that place confesse MESSIAS to be there The sonne of Man And Sadaias noteth that by with clouds of heauen the Angels are meant who should attend MESSIAS coming into the world and the Iewes might know thence that when the Grecians were overthrowne MESSIAS should be borne and we see in the Gospel that the wicked euen then talked as the godly for the tyme being instructed by Daniel Now Dan. chapt 9. it is plainely spoken that Messias shall be staine and not for himself but to finish sinne to wake expiation for iniquitie as being the most holy in whom the Prince of this world could finde nothing and who was a Sacrificer for our sinnes And to this day the Iewes confesse that MESSIAS NACID or Prince or Leader is the Redeemer called Nagid or Leader or Commander of Nations Esai 55. A Commenter that of late wrote upon Dan. 9. confesseth that But the Incarnation and Resurrection passeth flesh and blood which sayth Who can goe up to heauen to bring Christ downe Or who can goe into the deepe to bring Christ from the dead Aben Ezra the Iew who 500 yeeres agoe in the Isle Rhodes commented upon Daniel confesseth that Gabriels 490 yeeres began at Daniels prayer ended when MESSIAS was slayn and Rambam confesseth as Galatin us citeth his words that the holy of holy is MESSIAS the sanctified from the sonnes of David Such helps to salvation breaking out Iewes confession as yron breaketh our fire from flint stones by the
