a Person which in what chiefly concerns us has the Power of placing, &c. (fo the Names, those who have the Power of placing, &c. and were Types of the real Names) Thy Name be fanctified; that Name which is to be fanctified to redeem us, and which is by the Holy Ghost to fanctify us, and to have Light reflected by our Sanctification, Let thy Name be sanctified, separated; negatively, not attributed to created Matter; reftrictively, from taking Vengeance on all Mankind; effectually, to redeem Believers, to fend the Holy Ghoft; to intercede and rule for their Benefit.

Thy Kingdom come.] Mayeft thou perform all the Conditions, mayeft thou conquer Satan, Death and Hell, and enter upon the Power and the Administration, and reftore Men unto perfect Liberty, the Subjection to God; may we and Mankind renounce all Acknowledgments to the Heavens, acknowledge thy Power, and fubmit to thy Government, expect every good Thing here and hereafter from thee.

Thy Will be done as it is in the Heavens, fo on the Earth.] Neither Angels above in the Heavens, nor Men upon the Earth, have performed the Will of God, fo as to be a Precedent to fucceeding Men. Philofophy is to enable us to confider the Things and Powers, which are their Actions, &c. and not to imagine Things and Powers which are not, so of the Effence, Perfons, &c. The Will of God in Matter may emblematically answer thefe Words; Let thy Will

be done by the Names upon the Orbs above and on the Earth, to fupport Man with Life, Light, &c. here, by two of the Emblems, fo his Will is to be performed by two of the real Names or Perfons in redeeming, fanctifying, and supporting Man here, that he may hereafter have Support by all Three: In other Terms, let the Covenant for the Redemption and Sanctification of Man be fulfilled. It refers to the Covenant, Interceffion and Rule, as the whole was made, reprefented, and Part performed in the Heavens, the Names, to the Actions and Suffering of Chrift upon Earth, and to the Actions of the Holy Ghost upon Earth. The Will of Jehovah is ultimately the Sanctification of Man, the Atonement of Chrift, and the Sanctification of the Holy Ghost; in a fecond Senfe, that it be accepted by Man, rectify his Mind, &c. So the Will of the Effence be done, as it is by the Perfons in the Heavens, fo by the Perfons concerned in it upon Earth, so that it may produce its Effects for the Benefit of, and in the Actions of Men. This doth not exclude his providential Will in Relation to one Man, to fundry, or fundry Claffes of Men, at fundry Times, in fundry States, each in their respective Times; as before, at the Time of the Death of Chrift, afterwards, or &c.

Give us this Day our daily [fuperftantialem] Bread.] To do our Part of his Will requires fpiritual Meat here, Manna in this Wilderness. Chrift's Meat was to do the Will of his Fa

ther,

ther, let that be transferred to us. Give us that Bread, Strength, Support of the Effence, typified and so often referred to, both in the Old, and by Chrift in the New Teftament, (which he calls his Body, explained above) which. none but thou canft give; by which we fpiritually live, and also that Support, also called Bread, by which our Bodies live.

Parti

Forgive us our Trefpaffes or Debts.] cularly those which fhould have been paid to thee, and which we by the Devil's Suggestions have paid to thy, and our Servants, the Names, for placing any thing in Competition with thee and thy Laws, and paying the Deference due to thee, to them, and the other Services due to thee, and those from thee transferred to our Neighbours, for which we can make no Payment, either by good Works, or Sufferings, or Satisfaction to Men; therefore accept the Satisfaction for us (typified by the Sacrifices) by the Atonement, as (and on Condition) that we forgive them that trefpafs against us, as we are to do in the new State, which is commencing; both typified by what was done at the feven Years and feven times feven Years, Jubilees, when all Debts and Obligations were difcharged.

Lead us not into Temptation.] If in following thee our Leader we meet with Temptation, deliver us from Evil; from the Evil of Sin; from the evil One; from his Attempts; from our own Lufts or Imaginations; from the

K 4

At

Attempts of other Men; we are not capable of delivering ourselves, we dare not fay, let us deliver ourselves; 'tis only in thy Power to deliver us; all pretended Services of Will-Worship; of Power of rectifying our Wills; of delivering ourselves when we are in Temptation or have erred, is not now in the Power of our corrupted Wills; affift us by thy kingly Power to refift or fuffer, or whatever fhall be our Duty, so that we may avoid the Actions that are evil; or if we stagger, support us; if we fall, help us up.

For thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, for ever and ever. Amen.] Though this be the Inducement to perform the whole, 'tis not in fome Copies. The Place, the Rule, the Subjects, their Obedience, and the Inheritance belong not to the Heavens but to thee; the Rule is inherent in thee; the Subjects, this World, and the Inheritance in the next, are thine by Creation: The Subjects by Covenant, by Redemption and Sanctification.

As I have fhewed that the King was fupernaturally exhibited, predicted, defcribed, &c. So was his Kingdom predicted, and described, Exod. xix. 6. 1 Pet. ii. 9. Rev. i. 6.

They fhall Speak of the Glory of thy Kingdom, and talk of thy Power, to make known to the Sons of Men, bis mighty Acts, and the glorious Majefty of his Kingdom. Thy Kingdom is an everlafting Kingdom, and thy Dominion throughout all Generations. Ifaiah ix. 7. cited Luke i: 32, 33. Of the Increase of his Government and Peace, there fhall be no End, upon the Throne of the Beloved, and upon his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Juftice, from henceforth and for ever. Dan ii. 44. And in the Days of thefe Kings fhall is the Fœderator Now the Names, raife up

his King who shall never be deftroyed, and bis Kingdom fhall not be left to other People, it Shall break in Pieces and confume all thefe Kingdoms, and it fhall fland for ever. iv. 3. His Kingdom is an everlafting Kingdom, and his Dominion is from Generation to Generation. xxxiv. 16, 26. vii. 14. And there was given him Dominion and Glory, and a Kingdom, that all People, Nations and Languages should ferve him: His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion that shall not pass away, and his Kingdom that which fhall not be destroyed. 18. The Saints of the High Ones fhall take the Kingdom, and poffefs the Kingdom, for ever, even for ever and ever. ver. 22. Until the Ancient of Days come, and Judg
