not as other faythfull men be by election onely and fauoure but that he is the verye true natural sonne therfore is he named y e only because he myght be knowen frome the rest He is also oure Lord not onely by hys godheade whyche he had euermore the selfe same wyth the father but also in that selfe fleshe wherin he was exhâ—â—ited vnto us For there is but one God of whom be al thinges as Paule sayth and one Lorde Iesus Chryst through whom be all togither Which was conceiued by the holy ghost borne of the virgine Marye HEre we lerne by what maner y â— soÌ„ne of God became our Iesus that is our sauiour and our Christ that is to saye the annointed kynge to defende vs and preeste to brynge vs in fauoure with the father for he put vpoÌ„ him our fleshe to thys intente that he nowe made the sonne of man shoulde make vs the sonnes of God wyth hym takyng vpoÌ„ hym oure pouertie to aduaunce vs vnto hys rychesse bearynge our weakenes to strengthen vs by his power receyuynge our mortalitie to gyue vs his immortalitie commynge downe vpon the erth to exalt vs vnto heaueÌ„ Borne he was of the virgine Mary euen because he might be knoweÌ„ the very sonne of AbrahaÌ„ and Dauid whyche was promysed in the lawe and Prophetes a very maÌ„ like vnto vs in euery point onely synne excepted he was tempted wyth our infirmityes to thintent he myght lerne to haue compassion and beare w t vs. Thys same Iesus was coÌ„ceyued in the woÌ„be of y â— virgine by a wonderfull vnspeakable power of y â— holy goste to thinteÌ„t he myght be borne not defyled with any fleshy corruption but be sanctified in most hyghe and perfecte purenesse Suffered vnder Ponce Pylate was crucyfyed dead buryed and desceÌ„ded vnto hell IN these wordê we be taught after what sort Iesus paied our raunsome for thys was cause why he was borne a mortal maÌ„ For verely where as god was ê“uoked to wrath through the disobedience of man Iesus through his obedience put it awaye shewynge him obedieÌ„t to hys father euen vnto deathe And so iÌ„ his deth he offred him selfe a sacrifyce to the father wherby hys ryghtwysnes myght ones â—or euer be appeased wherby y â— faithful mought be halowed for euermore wherby also the euerlastynge satisfactioÌ„ mought be fully wrough and fynyshed He shed hys holy bloud for the pryce of our raunsome to thintent both the fury of God whyche was kyndled agaynst vs myght be qwenched and also our wyckednes purged There is no parte of hys deth that lacketh a misterye He suffred vnder Ponce Pilate that is to wyt he was condemned by sentence of a iudge for a felon and euyldoer for this purpose y t we throughe hym thus condemned myght be quyte at the barre of the hygh iudge he was crucified that in the crosse whych by Gods lawe was cursed he shuld susteyne our curse whyche curse oure synnes dyd deserue he dyed that throughe hys deth he myghte ouercome deathe that gaped vpoÌ„ vs and henge ouer our heddes and y â— he myght swalowe vp y t same death whyche elles had not he bene shuld haue swalowed vs vp He was buryed to thynteÌ„t we hys felowes by the vertue of hys deathe shulde be buryed to synne enfraunchyshed from the dominion of the deuyll and of deathe And where we saye he wente downe into hell it is meaÌ„t he was extremely haÌ„dled of God that he felte the horryble sharpenesse of gods iudgement in that he dyd put hym self betwene vs Gods wrath and on our behalfe satisfied the rygoure and sharpe iudgement of God so dyd he paye suffer the due paynes not for his own iniquite for he hadde none in hym but for our wyckednes Not that y â— father was at any tyme angry agaynst hym for howe coulde he be angrye with hys most deare sonne in whom is all hys delyte and pleasure or howe coulde he be pacyfyed wyth hys prayer wyth whome he were displeased but in this sense we say he bare the weight of goddes rygorousnes because beynge thus strycken and as it were scourged by the hande of God he felte all the tokens and sygnes wherwythe god in hys fume is wonte to punysshe synners in so moche that when the Passion waxed stronge ouer hym he was constreyned streyned to crye my God my God why hast y u forsaken me And the thyrde daye he rose agayne frome death he ascended into heauen and sytteth on the ryght hande of God the father almyghty frome thence he shall come to iudge the quycke and the deed OF Christes rysynge agayn we maye gather a sure trust of victorye that we shall ouercome death for lyke as he coulde not be holden downe by al y â— panges of death but mightely dyd brast forth beyonde all deathes power so dyd he represse and quenche all hys stinges and that in suche wyse as he is nat hable to styng vs now any more at leaste waye to our destruction So then his rising agayne is fyrst a ryght certayn trueth and euen the grounde of our rysyng to come and also of this our presente quickenyng wherby we be raysed vp vnto a newnesse of lyfe By his asceÌ„sion or mounting vp vnto heauen he opened vs the way vnto the kyngedome of heauen whiche in Adam was agaynste all men shut for he ascended in to heaueÌ„ in our fleshe as it were in our name to the intente that euen nowe in hym by hope we may possesse heauen and after a maner syt euen amonges the heaueÌ„ly sprites And assuredly he is not there w tout our hygh profyte for accordyng to the office of his euerlastyng presthod he weÌ„t into the saÌ„ctuary of god not made of mans hande and there he laboureth as a continual attourney and mediatour for vs afore the father where we saye he sytteth on the ryght hande of god the father it meaneth that he is crouned proclaymed kynge iudge Lorde ouer al thinges y t by his power he myght coÌ„serue and gouerne vs that his kyngdome and glory maye be our strength power and boaste against hel It signifieth also that he hath receyued to dispose at his pleasure al the maye be made perfyte and fylled that is to wytte that his iudgement moughte be manifested in whiche daye he alone shall be sette vp on hyghe and shall be all togyther in all men gatherynge and receyuyng his faythfull into glorye when satans kingdom shal be brought to confusyon vtterly throwe doune The thyrde Thy wyll be done in earthe as it is in heauen IN this petition we desyre of god that as he is wonte in heauen so in erth he wovouchsaue to order and dispose all thinges as his gracious pleasure shalbe to bring euery thyng to passe as shall lyke his wisdom best to vse al creatures at his own pleasure and to
subdue all wylles vnto his And thus requyrynge we vtterly refuse and abandon all our owne desyres renouncynge and gyuynge vp vnto the Lorde what so euer affection wyl or lust is in vs desyrynge his graciouse maiestie that he suffer not the worlde to passe with vs as we our selues wolde haue it but that he cause all our matters so to go forwarde with vs as he knoweth afore forseeth beste for vs and as he hath appoynted the same to be Nor we do not onely here aske that god wolde make our owne desyre voyde and of no effecte euen so many as be contrarye and repugnant to his wyll but also that he extinguyshinge these our affections wolde shape in vs new thoughtes newe myndes and newe ententes so that none other motion or luste be felt in vs then a pure consente and ful agremeÌ„t with his wil and for a conclusion that we woll nothinge of our selfe but as the holy spirite woi in vs by whose secrete instruction teachinge we maye lerne to loue those thinges that be pleasauÌ„t to hym and to hate abhorre wors then deathe what so euer displease him Nowe assured we are that displeaseth hym y â— is contrary to his worde and institucion Gyue vs thys daye oure dayely breade HEre in generall we aske of god all thynges necessary to the behouf of our bodyes vnder the clementes of this worlde not onely to be fed and clothed but also what so euer thing he forseeth to be expedient for vs to thintent ws mought eat our bread in peax In this petition with few wordes we betake our selues into his kepynge and commit vs to his diuine prouidence that he wolde fede nouryshe and preserue vs for y â— moste graciouse and tender father doth not disdayne to take vnto his kepyng and tuicioÌ„ also this our bodie y â— he myghte exercise our fayth in these same lytell small thynges whiles we loke to receyue at his hande all thynges what so euer we haue nede of euen to a crumme of bread and a drop of water Where we say Dayly and this daye it meaneth that we ought onely to aske thinges sufficieÌ„t for our nede euen as it were for no more but this day With this assured confidence that oure father after that he hath nouryshed vs this daye woll not fayle vs to morowe Now how moch aboundaunce so euer of goodes through his benefite we haue yet it behoueth vs to aske our daily bread thynkyng on this wyse that all our substaunce is nothyng but so farforth as god by powryng forth his blessynge shall prospere and encrease that which is in our haÌ„des is none of ours but so farforth as god bestoweth it vnto vs and suffreth the vse therof in our handes frome tyme to tyme. In that we saye Our bread is hyghly declared the bouÌ„tyousnes of god which maketh y â— to be ours which by no reason was dewe vnto vs. Finally in that we desyre it to be gyuen vs it is meant that it is the pure free gyfte of god frome whense so euer it come to vs thoughe it seme neuer soo moche to be gotten by our scyence and propre industrye The fyfthe And forgyue vs oure trespasses as we forgyue theym that trespasse agaynste vs. IN this petition we aske release pardon and forgiuenesse of synnes to be receyued at goddes handes a thyng doubtles right necessary to all men and women without exception And we call them dettes for so signifieth the greke and also the latine worde bycause we owe god a punyshement for them as a pryce or peny worth due for the same But by noo meanes can we make this payment good oneles we be discharged by this forgyuenesse whiche is the free pardone of his mercy We aske this pardone to be gyuen vs euen as we forgyue our detters that is as we spare them and forgyue them of whome we haue bene in any thynge eyther harmed sharpely handled or contumeliously checked This condition is here added not that by our forgyuynge of other mens trespasses agaynst vs we may or can deserue goddes pardon but it is here put for a â—ygne token to acertayne vs that so truely our synnes be pardoned vs of god as we semblably in our owne consciences forgyue other in case our hart be cleane purged and voyd of all hatred enuye and vengeauÌ„ce On the contrary parte we be warned that they be shakeÌ„ of and expulsed frome the nombre of gods chyldren so many as be redy to reuenge harde to forgyue and that styffely beare malice in their hartes ayenst their neyghbours For all suche are hereby monyshed not to be ones so hardy as to call god theyr father nor pray to escape gods wrath lyth in theyr own stomake they beare wrath and displeasure agaynste other yea Chryste expressely sayth that onles we for gyue men theyr offences the father wol neuer forgiue vs ours Which thyng he also teacheth by the parable of the kyng and his seruauntes Finally he wol haue forgiue vs our neighbour not ones or twyse no not seuen tymes only but seuenty tymes seuen tymes meanynge herby we oughte contynually frome tyme to tyme to forgyue oure brother The syxte And let vs not be led into temptation but delyuer vs from euyll Amen IN this demauÌ„d we do not requyre that we shulde neuer fele temptations for by them rather it is our profyte to be styrred and rubbed on the backe lest through ouermoche rest we mought waxe sloggardes for the lorde tempteth his chosen dayly chastysyng them by reproche pouertie trouble and other kyndes of crucyfyenge But this oure prayer is that with the temptatioÌ„ he wol make vs a waye out so as we be not ouercome and pressed downe of any temptations but that by his powre enstrengthened we may stand sure agaynst all the power of our aduersaries wherwith they assaulte vs. Also that we taken to his gouernaunce halowed by his spirituall graces and fensed with his protectioÌ„ may stande styffe agaynste the deuyll death hell gates and the hole kyngdome of the deuyll and this is to be deliuered from euyll We must marke also howe God wol that our prayers be shapen Truely we muste shape them after the rule of charitie for so hathe he taught vs to praye not for our owne behoufe without any regarde of our bretherne but he commauÌ„deth vs to be euen as busye for theyr coÌ„moditie edificatyon and profyte as we wold be for our owne Continuance of prayer THis then it behoueth vs to loke vpon that we go not about to bynd god to any circumstancies lyke as we be taught in this prayer nor to assigne him any law or apoynt hym any condycyon For afore we conceyue any prayer for vs we fyrste requyre and forespeke that his wyll be done whereby nowe we subdue oure wylle to his that as with a brydell nowe restreyned it shulde not pÌ„sume to force god to a course or trade If our myndes ones
