❧ A Paraphrase upon the Lords Prayer , and the Creed . IF any be distrest , and faine would gather Some comfort , let him hasten to OVr Father , For we of helpe and hope are all bereaven , Unlesse thou succour us , — which art in Heaven , Thou shewest mercy there , and for the same We praise thee , singing — hallowed be thy Name : Of our distresses , Lord , cast up the summe , Shew us thy joyes , and let — thy kingdome come : We mortall are , and alter from our birth , Thou constant art ; — thy will be done on earth , Thou mad'st the Earth , Skies , Stars , and Planets seven , Thy Name be blessed here , — as t is in heaven : Nothing we have wherewith our debts to pay , Unlesse thou give to us , — give us this day Wherewith to cloath us , wherewith to be fed , For without thee we want — our daily bread : We want , but want no sinne , for no day passes But we doe sin : — forgive us our trespasses , No man from sinne that ever free did live ; Forgive us , Lord , our sinnes , — as we forgive If we repent our sinnes thou ne're disdain'st us ; We pardon — them their trespasses against us : Forgive us that is past , and new path tread us ; Direct us alwayes in thy truth , — and lead us As thine owne people , and thy chosen Nation , Into all truth , but — not into temptation : Thou that of all good graces art the giver , Permit us not to wander , — but deliver Us from th' assaults of World , of Flesh , of Devill , So shall thy mercies free — us from all evill . To these Petitions let both Church and Lay-men With one consent of voyce and heart , say — Amen . SInce it be fit that I account should give , What way unto Salvation I Beleeve Of my profession here the sum I gather , First I confesse a faith — in God the Father In God who without helper or partaker , Was of himselfe the Worlds — Almighty maker And first gave time his being , who gave breath , To all the creatures — both of heaven and earth : Our everlasting welfare doth consist , In his great mercies , — and in Iesus Christ The second person of that three in one , The Fathers elect , and — his onely Sonne , That ever blessed and incarnate Word , Which our Redeemer is , our life , — our Lord , For why ? by Satans guile we were deceiv'd , Christ was that meanes of helpe , — which was conceived Yea when we were in danger to be lost , Conceived for us — by the Holy Ghost , And that we might not ever be forlorne , For our eternall safety he was — borne Borne as a man , that man might not miscarry , Even of the substance — of the Virgin Mary , And loe a greater mercy and a wonder , He that can make all suffer — suffered under The Jewish spite , which all the world revil'd at , 〈◊〉 Romish tyrannies of — Pontius Pilate , 〈◊〉 him I doe beleeve who was envied , Who with extreamest hate — was crucified , Who being life it selfe , to make assured Our soules of safety , was both — dead and buried , And that no servile feare in us might dwell , To conquer — he descended into hell , Where no infernall power had power to lay Command upon him , but on — the third day The force of death and hell he did constraine , And so in Triumph — he arose againe Yea the Almighty power advanc't his head , As well above all things as — from the dead , Then that from thence gifts might to men be given , With glory — he ascended into heaven , Where that supreame and everlasting Throne , Which was prepar'd , he climb'd — and sitteth on , That blessed seat where he shall make abode , To pleade for us at — the right hand of God , And no where should he be enthroned rather , Then there , for he is God as is — the Father , And therefore with an equall love delight I , To praise and serve them both as one — Almighty : Yet in their office there 's a difference , And I beleeve that Jesus Christ — from thence Shall in that great and universall doome , Returne , and that with Angels — he shall come To question such as at his Empire grudge , Even those that have presumed him — to judge And that black day shall be so Catholique , As I beleeve not only that — the quicke Shall to that grand Assize be summoned , But he will both adjudge them — ●d the dead : Moreover in the Godhead I conceive , Another Person in whom — I doe beleeve For all my hope and blessednsse were lost , If I beeleeve not — in the Holy Ghost , Although vaine Schismaticks through pride and folly Contemne her power , I doe beleeve — the holy Chaste Spouse of Christ , for whom so many search , By marks uncertaine , the true — Catholick Church , I doe beleeve , God keepe us in this Union , That there shall be for ever — the Communion Of Gods elect , and that he still acquaints His children in the fellowship — of Saints , Though damned be mens naturall condition , By grace in Christ I looke for — the remission Of all my foule misdeeds , for there begins Deaths end , which is the punishment — of sinnes , Moreover I the Sadducees infection Abhor , and doe beleeve — the resurrection Yea though I turne to dust , yet through God I , Expect a glorious rising — of the body , And that exempted from the cares here rife , I shall enjoy perfection , — and the life That is not subject unto change or wasting , But ever blessed , and for — everlasting . This is my joy , which that it faile not when It most should speed me , let God say — Amen . To whom , that he so much vouchsafe me may , Thus as a member of the Church I pray . FINIS .
