with
his
elect

That
you
may
the
better
understand
,
what
the
Covenant
or
grace
is
and
upon
what
occasion
God
did
make
it
,
I
hold
it
needefull
,
that
I
speake
first
,
of
the

of
Adam
and
Evah

of
their
fall
from
that
good
estate
,
wherin
they
were
created

of
the
wrath

of
God

when
hee
said
,
Let
us
make
man
?
A.
There
was
then
no
creature
for
God
to
speak
unto
:
The
meaning
is
,
that
the
holy
Trinitie
did
then
consult
about
the
making
of
man
,
that
he
might
excel
all
worldly
creatures

the

.
Qu
.
6.

is
the
soule
called
the
breath
of
life
?
A.
It
is
called
the
breath
or
spirit
of
life
,
because
it
is
an
everlasting
spirit
that
giveth
life
to
every
part
of
the
body

fowles
of

to
Adam
,
to

how
hee
would
name
them
,
they
were
brought
by
couples
,
male
and
female
,
so
as
every
male
had
a
female
,
to
be
an
helpe
fit
for
it
,
onely
Adam
was
alone

God
seeing

an

fit

that
among
them
all
he
found
not
an

meete
for

God
caused
an
heavie
sleep
to

upon
Adam

and
then
took
out
one

his
ribbes

of
the
field

and
over
every

.
Also
,
God
did
make
a

,
wherein
he
did

and
grant

as
they
were
setled
in
Paradise
,
God
left
them
to
themselves
with
free
will
to
do
what
pleased
them
;
even
as
a
loving
father
,
after
he
hath
bestowed
his
children
in
marriage
,
and
given
them
their
portions
,
doth
then

so

Garden
,
called
the
Tree
of
life
,
to

a
Sacrament
,
to
strengthen
their
faith
in
the
Covenant
,
and
continuance
in
his
love
and
favour
,
and
all
worldly
happinesse
,
so
long
as
they
continued
in
perfect
obedience
to
all
his
Commandements
.
Qu
.
12.
What
tryall
did
God
make

God
planted
another

evill
,

gave
them
charge
not

thereof
,
upon
paine
of
death
.
Qu
.
13.
How
came
they
to
eate
of
the
fruit
of
the
Tree
?

They
were
no

left

but
the
Devill
(
envying
their

came
cunningly
in
the
Serpent
,
and
tempted
Evah
,
and
drew
her
to
eate
,
and
to
give
to
her
husband
,
and
to
draw
him
to
eate
,
and
so
to
breake
the
Covenant
,
and
make
way
for
the
wrath
and
curse
of
God
to
come
upon
them
,
and
upon
all
mankinde
,
because
all
were
then
,
in
them
,
and
were
all
corrupted
and
made
sinfull
,
by
their
being
in
them
.
Qu
.
14.
How
could
all
mankind
be
in
them
?
A.
I
will
make
it
plaine
unto
you
by
a
familiar
comparison
:
take
the
kernell
of
an
Apple
,
and
set
it
where
it
may
grow
to
be
a
tree
,
bearing
fruit
;
that
tree
will
bring
forth
many
apples
,
and
every
apple
many
kernels
,
which
if
they
also
be
set
where
they
may
grow
to
be
trees
,
bearing
fruit
,
will
bring
forth
many
apples
,
and
every
apple
many
kernels
;
yea
,
innumerable
,
which
though
in
time
they
com
to
be
innumerable
,
were
all
at
first
,
in
,
and
come
out
of
one
kernell
:
even
so
mankind
,
though
now
innumerable
,
were
all
at
first
in
Adam
and
Evah
.
Q.
15.
It
is
written
,
that
the
eyes
of
Adam
&
Evah
were
opened
,
as
soone
as
they
had
eaten
:
were
they
blinde
till
then
?
A.
No
,
the
meaning
is
,
that
as
soone
as
they
both
had
eaten
,
God
did
take
from
them
all
their
glory
and
happinesse
,
wherein
they
lived
,

them
to
themselves
,
naked

ready
to
perish
.

of
the
day
:

is
meant

the
walking
of

neerer
and
neerer
,
as
thunder
which
is
called
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
,
Psal
.
29.
doth
somtimes
begin
farre
off
,
and
commeth
neerer
and
neerer
.
Q.
17.
What
did
they
when
they
heard
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
?
A.
They
hid
themselves
among
the
Trees
,
which
sheweth
,
that
the
natur
of
sin
is
to
wound
the
conscience
,
and
that
a
wounded
conscience
will
accuse
and
torment
a
man
with
shame
and
feare
,
and
cause
him
to
despaire
and
flee
from
God
.
Q.

to

Adam
answered
,
saying
,
I
heard
thy
voice
in
the
garden
,
and
was
afraid
because
I
was
naked
therefore
I
hid
my selfe
,
whereupon
God
said
unto
him
,
who
told
thee
that
thou
was
naked
?
Hast
thou
eaten
of
the
Tree
,
whereof
I
commanded
thee
that
thou
shouldst
not
eate
?
Q.
20.
What
answer
did
Adam
make
?
A.
Adam
answered
,
saying
,
the
woman
that
thou
gavest
to
be
with
me
,
shee
gave
me
,
and
I
did
eate
.
Q.
21.
What
said
God
to
the
woman
?
A.
God
asked
her
why
she
had
done
so
.
Q.

What
answer
did
she
make
?

She
(
to
excuse
her selfe
)
laid
all
the
fault
upon
the
Serpent
,
saying
,
the
Serpent
beguiled
me
,
and
I
did
eate
.
Q.
23.
What
doe
you
observe
in
their
answers
.
A.
That
such
as
are
void
of
the
feare
of
God
,
and
of
a
good
conscience
,
will
smoulder
and
hide
their
faults
,
and
excuse
themselves
by
accusing
others
.
Q
24.
What
said
God
to
the
Serpent
?
A.
God
did
not
vouchsafe
to
speake
to
the
Serpent
,
but
did
presently
lay
his
curse
upon
her
,
saying
,
because
thou
hast
done
this
,
cursed
art
thou
above
all
Cattell
;
upon
thy
belly
shalt
thou
goe
,
and
dust
shalt
thou
eate
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
:
I
will
also
put
enmity
betweene
thee
and
the
woman
,
and
betweene
thy
seed
and
her
seed
;
it
shall
breake
thine
head
,
and
thou
shalt
bruise
his
heele
.
Q.
25.
What
is
the
meaning
of
these
words
,
I
will
put
enmity
betweene
thee
and
the
woman
,
and
betweene
thy
seed
and
her
seed
,
it
shall
breake
thine
head
and
thou
shalt
bruise
his
heel
?
A.
They
are
to
bee
taken
two
wayes
;
first
,
as
they
were
spoken
to
the
Serpent
;
secondly
,
as
they
were
spoken
to
the
Divell
in
the
Serpent
.
As
they
were
spoken
to
the
Serpent
,
they
doe
containe
a
threatning
,
to
put
enmitie
,
that
is
,
unreconcileable
hatred
betweene
the
Serpent
and
Evah
,
and
between
both
their
seeds
.
Q.
26.
What
is
meant
by
the
seede
of
the
Serpent
?
A.
Adders
and
snakes
.
Q.
27.
What
is
meant
by
the
seede
of
the
woman
?
A.
All
mankind
.
The
truth
of
this
is
seene
daily
,
when
a
man
commeth
on
the
sudden
,
where
an
Adder
or
snake
is
,
they
will
startle
and
run
away
one
from
another
,
and
the
man
,
if
hee
have
any
thing
in
his
hand
,
will
strike
at
the
head
,
to
breake
it
;
and
the
Adder
or
Snake
when
it
seeth
that
it
cannot
save
it selfe
by
creeping
away
,
will
turne
againe
,
and
doe
what
it
can
to
sting
the
man
in
the
heel
,
or
some
where
in
the
foot
or
legge
,
because
it
can
reach
no
higher
.
Q.
28.
What
is
the
meaning
of
them
,
as
they
were
spoken
to
the
Divell
in
the
Serpent
;
and
first
tell
me
what
is
meant
by
the
Serpent
,
and
by
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
and
by
the
woman
,
and
by
seed
of
the
woman
?
A.
By
the
Serpent
is
meant
the
Divell
;
by
the
seede
of
the
Serpent
is
meant
the
wicked
that
live
and
dye
in
their
sins
,
without
true
faith
and
repentance
.
By
the
woman
,
is
meant
Evah
;
by
the
seed
of
the
woman
,
is
meant
our
Savior
Christ
,
and
those
whom
GOD
hath
elected
and
ordained
,
to
eternall
Life
,
through
Christ
.
Q.
29
What
is
meant
by
the
enmity
that
God
hath
put
betweene
the
seed
of
the
woman
,
and
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
?
A.
It
is
to
be
taken
two
ways
;
first
,
as
it
is
a
work
of
the
Divell
in
the
wicked
:
Secondly
,
as
it
is
the
grace
of
God
in
the
faithfull
.
Q.
30.
What
is
it
as
it
is
a
worke
of
the
Divel
in
the
wicked
?
A.
It
is
a
deadly
and
an
unreconcileable
hatred
,
that
the
wicked
beare
towards
the
godly
,
as
Cain
did
to
Abel
,
1
Io
.
3.12
.
Q.
31.
What
is
it
,
as
it
is
the
grace
of
God
in
the
godly
?
A.
It
is
the
grace
whereby
they
(
out
of
their
hatred
to
sinne
and
zeale
of
Gods
glory
)
have
such
an
heart-rising
against
all
ungodly
persons
,
as
causeth
them
to
shun
all
familiarity
and
needlesse
company-keeping
with
them
.
Q.
33.
What
is
meant
by
the
head
of
the
Serpent
,
and
by
breaking
the
head
of
the
Serpent
?
A.
By
the
head
of
the
Serpent
,
is
meant
the
power
that
the
Divell
had
over
all
mankind
;
by
the
breaking
of
the
head
of
the
Serpent
,
is
meant
the
destroying
of
that
power
so
as
he
shall
never
be
able
to
bring
any
of
the
true
children
of
God
to
eternall
destruction
.
Q.
34.
How
hath
Christ
destroyed
that
power
?
A.
By
his
active
and
passive
obedience
,
whereby
hee
hath
pacified
the
wrath
,
and
satisfied
the
justice
of
God
.
Q.
35.
How
doth
Christ
now
(
he
being
in
Heaven
)
destroy
the
power
of
the
Divell
?
A.
By
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
and
working
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
he
doth
now
open
mens
eyes
,
and
turnes
them
from
darknesse
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Sathan
unto
God
,
Acts
26.18
.
Also
,
by
the
vertue

deliver
it
up

God
the

The

A.
The
meaning
is
,
that
when
Sathan
doth
shew
his
malice
in
persecuting
Christ
,
or
any
of
his
,
the
worst
that
hee
can
do
,
is
,

as
a

heele
,
which
is
farre
enough
from

heart
.

resolved
upon

,
and
how
many
to
make
,
doth
in
conceit
see
every
room
how
fitly
it

:
Even
so
Almighty
God
,
with
whom
all
things
to
come

tempt
her
to
eat
of
the
forbidden
fruit
,
and
that
she
would
tempt
and
draw
her
husband
to
cat
,
and
so
break
the
Covenant
and
make
way
for
his
wrath
and
Justice
to
appeare
,
depriving
them
also
of
the
glorious
state
wherein
they
lived
.

that
sin
as
a

,
would
goe
over

infect
all
mankinde

Lambe
was
rosted
with
fire
,
to
prefigure
the
wrath
and
curse
of
God
,
and
the
grievous
paine
and
torment
that
Christ
suffered
,
Gal.
3.13
.
Sixthly
,
the
Lambe
was
eaten
with
bitter
hearbes
,
to
prefigure
the
afflictions
and
persecutions
that
the
true
followers
of
Christ
are
subject
unto
in
this
life
.
Seventhly
,
the

the
Lamb
was
eaten
with
unlevened
bread
,
to
signifie
,
that
the
true
professors

ought
to
take

of
hypocrisie
,
corrupt
doctrine
,

and

.
Eightly
,
strangers
and
uncircumcised
persons
,
were
not
to
eate
of
it
,
to
signifie
,
that
infidels
prophane
and
ungodly
persons
,
that
live
and
dye
in
their
sinnes
and
unbeleefe
have
no
part
in
Christ
.
Ninthly
,
the
Lord
commanded
,
that
the
Lambe
should
have
none
of
his
bones
broken
:
the
strength
of
every
living
creature
is
in
his
bones
,
so
as
if
you
take
away
,
or
break
the
bones
,
you
take
away
the
strength
:
the
not
breaking
the
bones
of
the
Lambe
,
did
signifie
,
that
though
Christ
did
take
on
him
for
our
sakes
,
more
than
he
was
able
to
beare
,
as
hee
was
man
,
which
did
cost
him
his
life
,
yet
his
divine
power
whereby
hee
was
able
to
save
all
them
for
whom
he
dyed
,
and
whereby
he
was
able
to
be
revenged
of
all
his
and
their
enemies
,
was
nothing
diminished
,
which
his
divine
power
,
he
did
shew
in
his
death
,
by
conquering
death
,
according
to
the
prophecie
,
Death
is
swallowed
up
in
victory
,
Isai
.
25.18
.

and
by
conquering
him
,
that
had
power
over
death
,
that
is
,
the
Devill
.
Q.
78.
How
doth
it
appeare
,
that
the
death
of
Christ
did
conquer
death
and
the
Devill
?
A.
It
appeareth
by
the
triumph
and
shew
,
that
Christ
did
openly
make
,
when
hee
gave
up
the
Ghost
upon
the
Crosse
,
Col
2.15
.
Q.
79.
Wherein
did
the
shew
of
triumph
appeare
?
A.
It
appeared
,
in
that
the
Graves
did
open
,
and
many
bodies
of
the
Saints
did
rise
,
and
came
out
of
the
Graves
,
as
soone
as
Christ
was
risen
,
and
appeared
unto
many
.
Q.
80.
What
use
ought
we
to
make
of
the
triumph
?
A.
It
serveth
to
stirre
us
up
with
joyfull
and
glad
hearts
,
to
love
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
to
insult
over
death
,
as
Saint
Paul
did
,
when
he
said
,
O
death
where
is
thy
victory
:
the
sting
of
death
is
sinne
,
the
strength
of
sin
is
the
Law
,
but
thankes
be
unto
God
,
who
hath
given
us
victory
through
Iesus
Christ

Q.
81.
Now
that
you
have
shewed
what
seales
the
Covenant
of
grace
had
in
the
old
Testament
,
it
remaineth
that
you
shew
what
seales
it
hath
in
the
New
Testament
?
A.
The
seales
of
the
New
Testament
,
are
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
.
Q.
82.
What
are
wee
principally
to
consider
of
,
in
Baptisme
?
A.
We
are
to
consider
first
,
that
the
Minister
doth
represent
God
,
sealing
the
Covenant
of
Grace
:
Secondly
,
that
God
by
sealing
the
Covenant
,
doth
bind
himselfe
to
performe
all
promises
and
grants
therein
contained
,
as
a
man
by
putting
his
hand
and
seal
to
a
writing
,
doth
binde
himselfe
to
performe
all
promises
and
grants
therin
contained
.
Q.
83.
Where
do
you
finde
the
hand
and
seale
of
God
,
to
be
in
Baptisme
?
A.
As
by
a
mans
hand
to
a
writing
,
is
meant
,
not
his
hand
cut
off
,
and
fastend
to
the
writing
,
but
his
name
or
marke
:
so
in
Baptisme
,
the
name
of
God
,
wherein
Baptisme
is
ministred
,
is
the
hand
of
God
,
the
water
is
the
seale
;
the
dipping
or
sprinkling
of
the
water
,
is
the
putting
to
of
the
seale
.
Q.
84.
Whether
ought
one
to
be
dipped
in
,
or
but
sprinkled
with
water
?
A.
It
is
a
thing
indifferent
,
whether
one
bee
dipped
in
,
or
but
sprinkled
,
as
appeareth
by
the
example
of
the
Apostles
,
who
used
both
.
Q.
85.
Can
you
name
any
that
were
dipped
?
A.
Yes
,
the
Eunuch
was
dipped
by
Philip
,
Act.
8.38
,
39.
so
also
were
they
that
were
baptized
by
Iohn
in
Iorden
,
Mat
.
3.6
.
and
our
Saviour
Christ
Mat
.
3.16
.
Q.
86.
Can
you
name
any
that
were
but
sprinkled
?
A.
Yes
,
Cornelius
was
but
sprinkled
,
by
S.
Peter
in
his
owne
house
,
Acts
10.47
.
and
S.
Paul
by
Ananias
,
in
the
house
of
Iudas
of
Damascus
,
Acts
9.11.18
.
and
the
keeper
of
the
Prison
by
Saint
Paul
in
the
prison
house
,
Acts
16.33
.
Q.
87.
Which
do
you
take
to
be
most
convenient
?
A.
In
cold
Countries
,
where
one
may
receive
hurt
by
being
dipped
,
sprinkling
is
rather
to
be
used
,
but
in
hot
Countries
,
dipping
is
most
convenient
,
because
dipping
doth
more
fully
represent
our
being
in
Christ
.
Q.
88.
How
doth
dipping
represent
our
being
in
Christ
?
A.
The
water
doth
represent
,
not
the
blood
onely
,
but
also
whole
Christ
,
body
and
soule
,
the
being
of
the
body
in
the
water
,
doth
represent
our
being
in
Christ
,
in
the
true
nature
and
substance
of
our
bodies
and
of
our
soules
.
Q.
89.
How
is
the
true
nature
and
substance
of
our
bodies
and
of
our
soules
in
Christ
?
A.
The
true
nature
and
substance
of
our
bodies
and
souls
,
is
in
Christ
,
in
that
the
body
of
Christ
was
incarnate
,
and
made
flesh
of
our
flesh
,
and
his
soule
of
the
same
spirituall
substance
that
our
soules
are
of
.
Q.
90.
When
the
body
is
in
the
water
,
it
is
as
a
dead
body
,
in
the
grave
,
within
the
earth
:
what
doth
that
signifie
?
A.
It
signifieth
,
that
we
(
in
our
true
nature
and
substance
of
body
and
soule
)
were
in
Christ
,
when
hee
was
dead
and
buried
,
according
as
it
is
written
,
Wee
are
buried
with
Christ
in
Baptisme
into
his
death
,

Q.
91.
What
benefit
have
we
by
our
being
in
Christ
,
in
our
true
nature
and
substance
of
our
bodies
and
soules
,
when
hee
was
dead
and
buried
?
A.
Wee
are
thereby
made
partners
of
the
merit
of
his
death
and
buriall
,
so
as
thereby
the
justice
of
God
is
satisfied
,
and
his
wrath
is
pacified
:
God
of
his
goodnesse
,
accepting
of
his
suffering
for
us
,
in
the
true
nature
and
substance
of
our
bodies
and
soules
,
as
though
we
our selves
had
suffered
in
our
bodies
and
in
our
soules
.
Q.
92.
Have
we
any
other
benefit
by
the
death
and
buriall
of
Christ
,
in
our
true
nature
and
substance
?
A.
Yes
,
thereby
we
are
made
partakers
of
the
vertue
of
his
death
and
buriall
,
so
as
thereby
together
with
the
working
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
by
his
Word
sinne
is
mortified
,
and
kept
under
,
from
having
dominion
over
us
,
and
we
are
raised
to
newnesse
of
life
,
according
as
it
is
written
,
If
wee
bee
grafted
with
him
to
the
similitude
of
his
death
,
even
so
shall
we
be
to
the
similitude
of
his
resurrection
,
knowing
this
,
that
the
old
man
is
crucified
with
him
,
that
the
body
of
sinne
might
be
destroyed
,
that
henceforth
wee
should
not
serve
sinne

Q.
93.
Christ
is
now
in
Heaven
,
in
our
true
nature
and
substance
,
of
body
and
soule
,
what
benefit
have
we
thereby
?
A.
Thereby
,
wee
in
Christ
)
are
in
Heaven
already
,
in
full
possession
of
it
,
and
have
possession
kept
for
us

till
our
appointed
time
bee
come

the
mean
while
Christ
sitteth
on
the
right
hand
of
God
,
making
intercession
for
us
.
Q.
95.
What
if
a
weak
Christian
finde
such
corruption
to
be
in
his
nature
,
and
such
rebellion
to
be
in
his
heart
,
and
the
sinne
that
dwelleth
in
him
,
to
be
so
strong
,
as
makes
him
to
feare
,
that
hee
is
not
a
partaker
of
these
benefits
?
A.
Let
him
not
despaire
,
but
assure
himselfe
that
the
feeling
of
his
imperfections
and
of
the
rebellion
of
his
heart
,
and
of
the
strength
of
sin
that
dwelleth
in
him
,
is
a
sure
signe
and
token
,
that
hee
is
not
dead
in
trespasses
and
in
sin
,
and
that
the
life
of
grace
is
in
him
,
and
that
God
hath
a
loving
care
of
him
,
and
therfore
doth
give
to
him
a
sight
and
feeling
of
themiserable
estate
he
is
in
by
natur
that
thereby
he
may
prepare
and
fit
him
,
and
also
stirre
him
up
,
to
lay
hold
on
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
which
was
sealed
unto
him
,
when
he
was
baptised
.
For
the
more
strengthning
of
his
faith
let
him
call
to
mind
,
that
as
verily
,
as
when
hee
was
baptised
,
the
Minister
did
then
take
his
name
,
and
did
baptise
him
by
his
name
:
so
verily
God
the
Father
did
then
take
and
acknowledge
him
by
name
,
to
be
his
child
,
and
did
then
seale
his
everlasting
Covenant
of
grace
to
him
by
name
,
and
for
his
further
comfort
,
let
him
assure
himselfe
,
that
as
the
Minister
did
then
know
him
by
name
,
and
did
write
or
cause
his
name
to
be
written
in
the
Church-Book
among
the
Saints
Militant
,
here
on

:
so
verily

doth
now
know
him
by
his
name

hath
his
name
written
among
the
Saints

When
a
weake
Christian
doth
feele
his
sinnes
,
to
lye
upon
his
heart
and
conscience

as
a
burthen
too
heavy
for
him
to
beare
;
what
must
he
doe
to
finde
some
ease
?
A.
He
must
then
also
thinke
upon
his
baptisme
,
and
assure
himselfe
,
that
as
verily
as
he
was
baptized
in
the
name
of

so
verily

his
Heavenly
Father
for
mercy
and
forgivenesse

and
for
grace
to
amend

name
to
the
Minister
before
hee
did
baptize
him
,
A.
The
giving
of
our
names
to
the
Minister
,
serveth
first
to
put
every
Christian
in
minde
,
that
as
verily
as
hee
did
give
his
name
to
the
Minister
,
so
verily
did
he
then
give
his
name
unto
God
,
whom
the
Minister
did
then
represent
:
Secondly
,
it
serveth
to
put
him
in
minde
,
that
hee
did
receive
Baptisme
,
not
only
as
a
seale
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
but
also
as
a
seale
or
marke
wherewith
hee
was
sealed
and
marked
for
one
of
Gods
Covenant
servants
,
and
that
he
did
receive
it
as
an
earnest
penny
to
bind
him
to
serve
God
,
in
holinesse
and
in
righteousnesse
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
:
and
that
therefore
,
as
he
hopeth
to
enter
into
his
Masters
joy
,
(
the
joyes
of
heaven
)
his
greatest
care
and
endevour
ought
to
bee
to
serve
God
.
Q.
109.
What
if
his
conscience
doth
tell
him
,
that
he
hath
broken
Covenant
with
God
?
A.
He
must
not
therefore
despaire
,
but
repent
and
beleeve
in
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
come
as
soone
as
he
can
to
the
Table
of
the
Lord
to
renue
his
Covenant
.
Of
the
Lords
Supper
.
Q.
110.
What
are
the
principall
things
that
we
are
to
consider
of
in
the
Lords
Supper
?
A.
Wee
are
first
to
consider
that
it
is
an
holy
Ordinance
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
therefore
not
to
be
neglected
,
nor
lightly
regarded
.
Q.
111.
Is
it
to
be
regarded
now
as
much
as
it
was
then
,
when
it
was
first
instituted
and
administred
by
the
Lord
Iesus
himselfe
?
A.
Yes
verily
,
because
it
is
now
as
it
was
then
,
a
seale
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
is
present
now
as
well
as
then
.
Q.
112.
How
is
the
Lord
Iesus
present
?
A.
He
is
present
with
the
receivers
by
his
Spirit
,
according
to
his
promise
,
Where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
name
,
there
am
I
in
the
middest
of
them
.
He
is
also
present
with
the
elements
of
bread
and
wine
,
by
his
divine
power
blessing
them
,
so
as
they
are
effectuall
seales
,
to
ratifie
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
to
convey
Christ
and
all
his
merits
to
every
faithfull
receiver
.
Q.
113.
Why
doth
the
Pope
and
his
followers
say
,
that
Christ
is
really
present
,
and
that
the
bread
is
the
very
flesh
,
and
the
wine
is
the
very
blood
of
Christ
?
A.
Because
they
are
given
over
into
strong
delusion
to
beleeve
lyes
,
2
Thess.
2.8
,
9
,
10
,
11.
They
may
as
well
say
,
that
the
Cup
is
the
New
Testament
,
because
it
is
written
,
that
our
Savior
tooke
the
Cup
and
said
,
This
Cup
is

Why
was
the
Cup
called
the
Cup

It
was
called
the
Cup
of

In

,
that

,
when
the
Pascall
Lamb

our

in
the
platter
.

A.
Our
Saviour
Christ
himselfe
,
when
he
tould
his
Disciples
that
one
of
them
would
betray
him
,
and
that
it
was
hee
,
to
whom
hee
gave
a
sop
,
which
hee
tooke
,
and
gave
to
Iudas
,
whereupon
Satan
entred
into
him
,
and
he
went
out
immediately
.
Q.
128.
What
did
Christ
after
that
Iudas
was
gone
?
A.
Christ
did
then
institute
this
Sacrament
,
which
wee
call
the
Lords
Supper
.
Q.
129.
After
what
manner
?
A.
After
the
same
manner
,
that
the
Master
of
the
Family
did
observe
in
the
banquet
above
mentioned
,
as
first
the
Master
of
the
family
,
took
bread
,
gave
thanks
,
and
then
broke
it
,
and
gave
it
to
them
that
sate
at
Table
with
him
:
so
Christ
tooke
bread
,
gave
thankes
,
and
then
broke
it
and
gave
it
to
the
Disciples
.
Q.
130
To
whom
,
and
for
what
did
Christ
give
thankes
?
A.
He
gave
thankes
to
God
the
Father
,
for
his
goodnesse
in
ordaining
all
that
doe
truly
beseeve
in
him
to
eternall
life
,
and
in
making
our
everlasting
Covenant
of
Grace
with
them
.
Q.
131
It
is
written
,
that
Christ
tooke
bread
and
blessed
it
,
how
did
he
blesse
it
?
A.
Christ
blessed
the
bread
,
as
God
the
Father
blessed
the
seventh
day
;
God
blessed
the
seventh
day
by
ordaining
the
keeping
of
it
holy
,
to
be
a
meanes
to
bring
a
blessing
on
all
them
that
doe
remember
it
,
to
keep
it
holy
:
even
so
our
Saviour
Christ
blessed
the
bread
,
by
ordaining
it
to
bee
a
meanes
,
to
bring
his
blessing
on
all
them
that
doe
receive
it
,
according
as
he
did
then
institute
and
appoint
.
Also
,
by
his
blessing
the
bread
,
wee
are
to
understand
,
that
Christ
did
pray
,
and
by
prayer
did
obtaine
of
God
,
that
his
blessing
shall
come
on
all
them
that
doe
receive
it
according
as
he
did
then
institute
and
appoint
.
The
example
of
our
Saviour
Christ
in
giving
thankes
,
and
in
blessing
the
bread
,
serveth
to
teach
us
,
when
we
are
at
the
Lords
Table
,
to
acknowledge
the
goodnes
of
God
in
electing
us
for
his
children
,
and
in
ordaining
us
to
eternall
life
through
Jesus
Christ
,
and
in
making
an
everlasting
Covenant
of
Grace
with
us
,
and
to
give
him
heartie
thankes
,
and
to
pray
for
his
blessing
upon
our
receiving
.
Q.
132.
Now

this
holy

by
our
Saviour
Christ
?
A.
As
the
Master
of
a
Family
,
when
he
gave
the
bread
,
did
say
,
This
is
the
bread
of
affliction
that
our
fathers
did
cate
in
Egipt
:
so
our
Saviour
Christ
,
when
he
gave
the
bread
,
said
,
This
is
my
body
which
is
broken
for
you
,
doe
this
in
remembrance
of
me
.
As
the
master
of
the
Family
tooke
the
Cup
,
and
gave
thankes
,
and
then
gave
it
to
them
that
sat

gave
thankes

his
Disciples
,
saying
,
drinke
you
all
of
this
,
for
this
is
my
blood
of
the
New
Testament
.
Lastly
,
as
the
master
of
the
Family
,
and
they
that
were
with
him
did
sing
Psalmes
,
so
did
our
Saviour
Christ
and
his
Disciples
sing
a
Psalme
.

in
the
Lords
Supper

The
bread
doth

the
body
of
Christ
:
the
breaking
of
the
bread
doth
signifie
the
breaking
and
tearing
of
the
Flesh
of
Christ
with
the
nayles
,
when
they
were
driven
thorow
his
hands
and
feet
,
and
with
the
speare
,
when
it
was
thrust
into
his
side
:
The
wine
doth
signifie
the
Blood
of
Christ
:
the
giving
of
the
bread
and
wine
,
doth
signifie
,
that
God
doth
then
seale
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
doth
offer
and
freely
give
Christ
,
and
all
his
merits
to
every

God
in
the

whereby
they
doe
lay
hold
(
by

)
on
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
and
doe
apply
all
the
promises
and
grants
therein
contained
,
unto
themselves
,
and
that
they
doe
receive
and
take
Christ
only
for
their
Saviour
,
and
doe
renounce
all
their
owne
merits
.

Qu
.
136.
How
doe
their
soules
feede
on
Christ
?
A.
By
beleeving
that
the
body
of
Christ
was
crucified
,
and
that
his
blood
was
shed
for
them
,
and
that
thereby
the
wrath
of

What
is
signified
by
the
comfort

strength
and
nourishment
that

Thereby

that
as
the
life
of
man
is
preserved
,
comfortably
,
by
the
vertue
that
God
hath
given
to
the
bread
,
to
strengthen
the
heart
,
and
to
wine
,
to
make
it
glad
,
Psal
.
104.10
.
so
Christ
by
his
divine
power
and
grace
,
doth
nourish
,
comfort
and
preserve
the
faithfull
to
eternall
life
.
Qu
.
138.
How
ought
I
to
spend
the
time
while
the
Minister
is
in
delivering
the
bread
and
wine
?
A.
In
regard
,
that
God
doth
then
seale
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
doe
thou
therefore
passe
thy
time
in
meditating
upon
the
Covenant
,
and
upon
the
promises
and
grants
therein
contained
,
and
apply
them
to
thy selfe
,
as
,
First
,
that
God
for
Christ
his
sake
will
forgive
and
forget
all
thy
sinnes
for
ever
,
if
thou
dost
truly
repent
thee
of
thy
sinnes
,
and
beleeve
in
the
Lord
Jesus
.
Secondly
,
if
the
hardnesse
of
thy
heart
and
dulnesse
of
thy
spirit
doth
grieve
thee
,
assure
thy selfe
,
that
God
(
in
his
good
time
)
will
take
from
thee
thy
stony
heart
,
and
will
give
thee
a
new
heart
,
and
a
new
spirit
.
Thirdly
,
if
want
of
grace
,
to
remember
the
word
of
God
,
doth
grieve
thee
,
assure
thy selfe
that
God
will
put
it
into
thine
inward
part
,
and
write
it
in
thine
heart
,
so
much
as
shall
be
sufficient
to
thy
salvation
.
Fourthly
,
if
want
of
grace
,
to
have
a
comfortable
feeling
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
,
to
beare
witnesse
with
thy
spirit
,
that
thou
art
a
childe
of
God
,
doth
grieve
thee
,
assure
thy selfe
,
that
God
(
in
his
good
time
)
will
give
thee
his
holy
Spirit
,
to
assure
thee
,
that
he
is
thy
God
,
to
defend
and
protect
thee
from
all
enemies
,
and
thy
Father
,
to
provide
for
thee
all
things
necessary
.
For
the
performance
of
these
promises
,
God
must
be
sought
unto
by
hearty
prayer
,
Ezech
.
36.37
.
therefore
pray
not
onely
when
thou
art
at
the
Lords
Table
,
but
continually
,
and
pray
in
faith
without
doubting
,
because
God
,
who
hath
made
these
promises
,
is
a
God
of
truth
:
Heaven
and
earth
shall
passe
away
,
but
Gods
Word
shall
not
passe
away
unfulfilled
.
Also
,
in
regard
our
Saviour
Christ
saith
,
Do
this
in
remembrance
of
me
;
therefore
faile
not
to
thinke
upon
Christ
,
and
upon
the
grievous
paine
that
he
endured
for
thee
in
his
body
,
when
he
was
scourged
,
and
when
the
nayles
were
driven
thorow
his
hands
and
feet
,
and
when
he
hung
bleeding
on
the
Crosse
,
with
the
waight
of
his
whole
body
on
his
hands
,
which
did
teare
the
flesh
,
and
inlarge
the
holes
that
the
nayles
had
made
in
his
hands
.
Thinke
also
upon
the
torments
that
Christ
suffered
in
his
soule
for
thee
,
when
he
complained
that
his
soule
was
heavie
,
even
unto
the
death
,
and
when
in
the
agony
of
his
soule
he
did
sweat
water
&
blood
,
and
when
on
the
Crosse
,
hee
cryed
out
,
saying
,
O
God
my
God
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
.
Let
the
love
of
Christ
in
suffering
such
grievous
pains
and
torments
,
move
thee
to
love
him
againe
,
and
to
be
truely
zealous
of
his
glory
,
and
carefull
to
serve
and
please
him
,
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
.
Lastly
,
call
to
minde
that
when
thou
wast
baptized
,
thou
didst
receive
baptisme
,
not
only
as
a
seale
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
but
also
as
a
seale
and
marke
wherewith
thou
wast
sealed
and
marked
for
one
of
Gods
Covenant-servants
and
that
thou
didst
receive
baptisme
as
an
earnest
penny
,
to
bind
thee
unto
God
,
to
serve
him
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
.
If
thy
conscience
doth
tell
thee
,
that
thou
hast
broke
Covenant
with
God
,
doe
not
therefore
despaire
,
but
repent
and
beleeve
in
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
(
before
thou
goest
from
the
Lords
Table
)
renue
thy
Covenant
by
purposing
and
resolving
with
thy selfe
,
and
also
by
vowing
and
promising
unto
God
,
that
by
his
grace
thou
wilt
have
a
care
to
serve
him
.

When

And
(
to

of

)
thinke
upon
the
sinfulnesse
of
thy
soule
,
and
vilenesse
of
thy
body
,
that
is
under
them
.
If
thy
clothes
be
poore

,
thanke
God
for

because
they
are
more
then
God

When

pray

When

thou

thy

and
that
thou
bee
not
high-minded

nor
hard-hearted
towards
the
poore
,
but
shew

be
a
childe
of

in

Father
is
mercifull

If

them
whom
thou
dost
serve
or
worke
for
,
and
suffer
nothing
to
bee
lost

through
thy
negligence
,
as
many
servants
doe
their
broken
bread
and
meat
,
which
is
not
onely
a
losse
to
their
master
,
but
also
an
offence
to
the
Lord
Jesus
,
who
would
have
all
broken
meate
to
be
gathered
up
and
saved
,
that
nothing
bee

his
goodnesse
in

in

abroad
,
thou
seest

his
bounty

thine

When
thou
seest
the
fowles
of
the
ayre
,
that
have
no
body
to
make
provision
for
them
in
Summer
against
winter
,
then
thinke
upon
Gods
speciall
providence
and
goodnesse
in
feeding
them
in
deepe
of
winter
,
so
as
for
the
most
part
,
they
are
then
fatter
then
in
Summer
,
and
that
therefore
no
childe
of
God
ought
to
despaire
,
or
the
any
unlawfull
means
,
will
God
so
provide
for
the
fowles
of
the
ayre
,
and
neglect
his
owne
children
?
no
,
no
,
he
cannot
doe
it
.
21.
When
thou
seest
the
beauty
,
or
smellest
the
sweet
savour
of
some
flowers
,
then
thinke
upon
the
goodnesse
of
God
in
creating
them
,
for
our
delight
and
comfort
,
and
reason
thus
with
thy self
:
if
these
creatures
bee
so
beautifull
and
comfortable
,
much
more
is
God
,
that
made
them
:
happy
therefore
are
they
that
are
in

,
beholding
his
glory

When
thou
seest

Flowers
,
how

therewith
bee

to

When

they
that
have
done

unto

unto

.
24.
When
thou
seest
or
dost
smell
the
noysome
savour
of
some
weeds
then
thinke
upon
sinne
,
how
offensive
it
is
to
A
mighty
God
,
and
let
the
care
that
some
men
have
to
keepe
weeds
under
,
put
thee
in
minde
how
carefull
thou
shouldest
be
,
to
keep
sinne
under
,
and
not
suffer
it
to
raigne
and
have
dominion
over
thee
.
25.
When
thou
seest
it
raine
,
then
think
upon
the
providence
or
God
,
in
laying
up
water
in
stores
in
the
clouds
to
moisten
the
earth
at
his
pleasure

Thinke
then
also
upon
the
Word
of
God
,
and
pray
that
God
would
blesse
his

word
to
thee

doth

unto

When
too
much
raine
doth
spoile
the
fruit
of
the
earth
,
or
want
of
raine
doth
make
it
barren
,
then
think
upon
thy
sinnes
,
and
the
sinnes
of
the
land
,
because
they
are
the
cause
thereof

Levit

repent
thee

for

that

When
thou
seest
it
snow
,
then
think
upon
the
blood
of

,
how
it
washeth
thee
from

thee
whiter

turne
to
him
,
otherwise
not

When
thou
hearest
it
thunder
,
then
think
upon
the
power
of
God
,
wherewith
he
is
able
to
shake
both
heaven

,
and
feare
not

When

then
thinke
upon
the
power
of

,
whereby
hee
is
able
to
burne
and
consume
the
whole
world
,
and
feare
not
the
lightning

God
,
whose
arrow
it
is
,
and
killeth
none
but
whom
hee
will
,
Psalme
144.6
.
Aso
,
when
thou
seest
it
lighten
,
thinke
upon
the
comming
of
our
Saviour
Christ
unto

because
it
is
written
that
,
As
the
lightning
commeth
from
the

and
shineth
unto
the
West
,
so
shall
the
comming
of
the
Sonne
of

be

The
comming
of
our
Saviour
Christ
to
judgement
,
is
compared
to
lightning
,
to
shew
,
that
as
lightning
commeth
on
the
sudden
,
so
shall
the
comming
of
our
Saviour
be
,
and
that
as
lightning
when
it
shineth
into
a
darke
roome
,
doth
make
things
hid
in
darkenesse
to
be
seene
:
so
our
Saviour
Christ
,
at
his
comming
,
will
bring
to
judgment
,
things
that
are
hid
,
and
make
the
counsels
of
the
heart
manifest

When
thou
seest
the
Sunne
,
thinke
upon
thy
Saviour

,
whom
the
Sunne
doth
fitly
resemble
,
in
that
the
〈…〉
with
his
beames

children
,
and
therefore
all
the
true
children
of
God
doe
love
and
rejoce
in
him
.
31.
When
thou
feest
the
Sunne
,
how
it
shineth
on
the
good
and
on
the
bad
,
then
think
upon
God
thy
heavenly
Father
,
and
examine
thy selfe
,
whether
thou
bee
like
to
him
,
in
being
willing
and
ready
to
doe
good
unto
all
,
not
onely
to
thy
friends
,
but
also
to
thine
enemies
,
according
to
the
words
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
Matth
.
5.44
.
Love
your
enemies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
you
,
doe
good
to
them
that
hate
you
,
that
you
may
be
the
children
of
your
Father
which
is
in
heaven
:
for
hee
maketh
his
Sunne
to
shine
on
the
evill
and
on
the
good
.
32.
Also
when
thou
seest
the
Sun
how
it
never
stands
still
,
be
thereby
put
in
minde
of
thy
duty
,
never
to
be
idle
,
nor
wearie
of
well-doing
.
The
Sunne
is
a
hundred
and
sixe
times
greater
then
the
earth
:
therefore
with
an
holy
reverence
admire
the
great
wisdome
and
power
of
God
,
in
creating
it
of
nothing
.
33.
When
thou
seest
the
Starres
,
and
considerest
,
how
glorious
and
beautifull
they
are
,
then
thinke
upon
the
glory
of
God
,
and
reason
thus
,
If
these
creatures
be
so
glorious
and
beautifull
,
much
more
is
God
that
created
them
,
happy
therefore
are
they
,
that
are
in
heaven
,
beholding
his
glory
.
Thinke
also
,
upon
the
glory
of
the
Saints
in
heaven
,
of
whom
it
is
written
,
that
they
doe
shine
as
Starres
for
ever
and
for
ever
,
Dan.
12.13
.
and
love
the
Lord
Jesus
,
because
it
is
written
:
That
he
will
change
these
our
vile
bodies
,
and
make
them
like
to
his
glorious
body
,
Philippians
3.21
.
34.
The
glorified
body
of
Christ
,
now
in
heaven
,
doth
excell
the
brightest
starre
in
glory
:
these
our
vile
bodies
shall
be
made
like
unto
his
glorious
body
:
therefore
these
our
vile
bodies
,
shall
excell
the
brightest
starre
in
glory
.
Great
cause
therefore
have
wee
to
love
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
to
be
zealous
of
his
glory
.
35.
When
thou
art
about
to
goe
to
bed
,
goe
to
thy
prayer
,
and
desire
God
to
forgive
thee
thy
sinnes
,
and
give
thee
grace
to
amend
thy
life
,
and
to
receive
thee
into
his
protection
,
and
to
bestow
upon
thee
quiet
rest
and
sleepe
.
A
Prayer
for
the
Evening
.
O
Most
gracious
God
and
loving
Father
,
I
doe
from
my
heart
acknowledge
thy
great
goodnesse
towards
mee
,
in
this
day
past
,
I
doe
also
acknowledge
myselfe
to
bee
unworthy
of
the
least
of
thy
mercies
,
by
reason
of
my
sinnes
,
forgive
mee
my
sinne
for
Christ
his
sake
,
and
give
me
grace
to
amend
whatsoever
thou
seest
to
be
amisse
in
mee
,
and
for
Christ
his
sake
keepe
me
this
night
that
no
evill
come
unto
me
,
and
bestow
upon
mee
quiet
rest
and
sleepe
,
to
refresh
my
weake
body
,
to
make
mee
stronger
,
and
more
fit
to
serve
thee
,
to
thy
glory
through
Christ
Iesus
,
Amen
.
36.
If
thy
bed
and
bedding
,
and
the
roome
be
good
give
God
thanks
if
thy
roome
be
meane
and
cold
,
thy
bed
hard
,
and
thy
clothes
few
,
bee
thankefull
to
God
,
because
it
is
better
than
thou
deservest
,
and
more
than
GOD
doth
owe
thee
.
38.
When
thou
art
laid
in
bed
to
sleep
,
think
upon
death
and
upon
thy
going
to
thy
grave
.
Because
death
is
compared
to
a
sleep
,
Matth
.
9.24
.
and
the
grave
to
a
bed
,
Isai
.
55.2
.
And
in
regard
thou
art
not
sure
to
live
till
morning
,
it
standeth
thee
upon
,
to
thinke
upon
thy
sinnes
,
and
with
a
penitent
heart
,
to
confesse
them
unto
God
,
and
desire
God
for
Christ
his
sake
,
to
forgive
thee
thy
sinnes
,
and
to
give
thee
grace
to
amend
thy
life
.
39.
When
thou
hast
confessed
thy
sinnes
,
and
prayed
for
mercy
and
grace
to
amend
,
passe
thy
time
till
sleepe
come
,

of

night
on

Q.

Where
is

to
be

A.
Thou
shalt

Christ
,
every
Lords

in
the

walking

to
see
who
are
true
worshippers
of
God
,
that
he
may
blesse
them
,
and
who
are
not
,
that
hee
may
give
them
their
portion
with
the
hipocrites
in
the
lake
that
burneth
with
fire
and
brimstone
.
Q.
2.
What
is
meant
by
the
seven
Starres
?
A.
The
seven
starres
were
the
preachers
of
the
Gospell
in
the
seven
Churches
of
Asia
:
now
(
that
they
are
not
)
we
are
to
understand
by
the
seven
starres
,
all
faithfull
preachers
of
the
Gospell
,
throughout
the
whole
world
.
Q.
3.
Why
are
they
called
Starres
?
A.
They
are
called
starres
because
of
the
light
that
they
doe
give
unto
the
world
,
by
their
doctrine
and
good
life
.

Why
is
Christ
said
to
hold
them
in
his
right
hand
?
A.
Christ
is
said
to
hold
them
in
his
right
hand
,
because
he
doth
by
his
holy
Spirit
keepe
them
from
falling
into
errors
,
and
doth
protect
them
by
his
Divine
power
from
all
enemies
,
so
farre
as
his
holy
Majesty
doth
see
it
fit
for
his
owne
glory
.
Q.
5.
What
is
meant
by
the
seven
golden
Candlesticks
?
A.
The
seven
golden
Candlesticks
,
were
the
seven
Churches
of
Asia
:
now
(
that
they
are
not
)
we
are
to
understand
every
true
Christian
Congregation
throughout
the
whole
world
,
where
God
is
truely
worshipped
.
Q.
6.
Why
are
they
called
Candlesticks
?
A.
They
are
called
Candlesticks
to
shew
,
that
as
a
Candlestick
doth
beare
and
hold
the
candle
to
give
light
to
such
as
have
eyes
to
see
:
even
so
every
Christian
congregation
,
doth
bear
and
hold
forth
,
and
publish
to
the
world
,
the
light
of
the
glorious
Gospell
of
Christ
Iesus
,
by
preaching
and
maintaining
it
,
and
by
professing
the
Christian
faith
.
Also
they
may
be
compared
to
Candlestickes
to
shew
,
that
as
a
Candlesticke
of
it selfe
hath
no
light
in
it
;
the
light
that
it
hath
is
put
into
it
,
even
so
is
it
with
every
true
Christian
congregation
,
the
light
that
every
branch
&
member
thereof
hath
,
is
put
into
them
by
Christ
Iesus
,
that
dwelleth
in
them
by
his
word
&
holy
Spirit
.
Q.
7.
Why
are
they
called
golden
Candlesticks
A.
They
are
called
golden
Candlesticks
,
to
shew
that
as
gold
is
the
most
excellent
of
all
mettals
,
so
every
true
Christian
congregation
,
where
God
is
truely
worshipped
,
is
the
most
excellent
of
all
societies
,
and
companies
of
men
in
the
world
.
Q
8.
Wherein
doe
they
excell
all
other
societies
and
companies
?
A.
They
doe
excell
all
others
in
the
graces
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
,
they
are
also
compared
to
golden
Candlesticks
to
shew
that
as
men
doe
make
more
reckoning
of
true
Christians
,
than
of
any
other
people
,
and
as
men
doe
make
gold
their
chiefest
treasure
and
have
a
care
to
keepe
it
safe
,
so
is
every
true
worshipper
of
God
unto
Christ
,
his
chiefe
treasure
,
that
he
hath
a
care
of
,
therefore
goe
not
into
the
holy
Congregation
as
the
hypocrites
doe
to
abuse
the
holy
and
great
Name
of
Almighty
God
,
by
taking
it
in
vaine
,
even
then
,
when
they
seeme
to
joyne
with
the
congregation
,
in
the
true
worship
and
service
of
God
.
Q.
9.
Wherein
doe
they
then
abuse
and
take
the
name
of
God
in
vaine
?
A.
They
doe
abuse
it
,
and
take
it
in
vaine
,
in
that
they
doe
not
minde
what
they
doe
,
all
that
they
doe
is
but
an
outward
shew
of
drawing
neere
unto
God
with
their
lips
,
having
their
hearts
farre
from
him
.
Q.
10.
How
doth
that
appeare
?
A.
It
appeareth
plainly
by
their
sleeping
,
and
by
their
whispering
,
and
talking
,
and
looking
on
this
body
,
and
on
that
body
,
when
the
word
of
God
is
read
or
preached
unto
them
.
It
appeareth
also
in
that
they
doe
not
lift
up
their
hearts
unto
God
when
they
pray
,
as
the
Prophet
David
did
,
Psal
.
25.
nor
so
much
as
think
upon
his
holy
and
glorious
Majesty
,
to
speake
with
reverence
unto
him
.
Q.
11.
Wherein
doth
their
want
of
reverence
appeare
?
A.
It
appeareth
plainly
by
their
leaning
lazily
on
their
elbowes
,
and
by
their
sitting
unreverently
in
time
of
prayer
notwithstanding
that
the
minister
,
doth
put
them
in
mind
of
kneeling
in
the
Liturgie
,
out
of
the
59.
Psalme
.
O
come
let
us
worship
,
and
fall
downe
,
and
kneele
before
the
Lord
our
Maker
.
None
but
God
knoweth
whither
for
this
great
sin
of
abusing
and
taking
the
name
of
God
in
vain
in
time
of
Gods
publique
worship
and
service
.
God
hath
shewed
fearefull
Iudgements
,
and
tokens
of
his
wrath
upon
Churches
,
as
appeareth
by
multitudes
of
Letters
Patents
,
granted
for
the
gathering
of
the
benevolence
of
well
disposed
Christians
for
the
repairing
of
Churches
rent
and
spoiled
with
lightning
and
thundring
since
the
beginning
of
Queene
Elizabeths
raign
especially
on
the
21.
of
October
last
,
1638.
the
parish
Church
of
Withcombe
in
Devon-shire
,
being
a
faire
and
large
Church
,
newly
trimmed
,
having
a
very
faire
steeple
like
a
Tower
with
great
and
small
pinacles
,
one
of
the
famousest
Towers
in
the
West
part
of
England
;
there
fell
(
in
time
of
divine
Service
)
a
strange
and
great
darkenesse
,
so
as
the
people
could
not
see
one
another
,
and
a
fearefull
Thunder
,
much
like
the
noyse
or
report
of
many
great
Canons
,
and
a
fearfull
lightning
and
loathsome
smell
like
brimstone
,
and
a
strange
and
fearefull
blast
,
that
struck
in
at
the
North-side
of
the
Towre
,
and
tearing
through
a
strong
stone
wall
,
came
into
the
Church
through
the
highest
window
,
and
tooke
the
greatest
part
thereof
with
it
,
and
with
a
mightie
power
strucke
against
the
North
side
wall
of
the
Church
,
and
did
shake
and
batter
the
wall
very
much
,
threatning
as
though
it
would
cast
it
downe
,
and
then
went
towards
the
Pulpet
,
and
in
the
way
tooke
with
it
the
lime
and
sand
from
the
wall
,
and
grated
the
stones
and
defaced
the
wall
being
newly
trimmed
,
and
tore
away
the
side
deske
of
the
Pulpet
,
and
coloured
the
Pulpet
with
black
and
left
it
moist
,
as
if
it
had
beene
newly
wiped
over
with
inke
.
The
lightning
did
fright
the
people
and
scalded
them
,
so
as
most
part
of
them
fell
downe
,
some
on
their
knees
,
some
on
their
faces
,
some
one
upon
another
,
crying
.
The
Ministers
wife
had
her
ruffe
and
linnen
next
her
body
burnt
cleane
off
,
and
her
body
grievously
schorched
.
One
Mistris
Ditford
sitting
in
the
seat
with
her
had
her
gowne
,
two
wastcoates
,
and
her
linnen
next
her
body
burnt
cleane
off
,
and
her
body
grievously
scorched
.
An
other
woman
running
out
of
the
Church
had
her
clothes
set
on
fire
,
and
her
body
scorched
,
and
her
flesh
torne
on
her
back
.
A
dog
neere
the
chancell
doore
was
whirld
up
three
times
,
and
fel
down
dead
.
One
Master
Hill
a
gentleman
,
had
his
head
smit
against
the
wall
,
and
died
that
night
.
Sir
Richard
Reynolds
Warrener
,
had
his
head
cloven
,
his
scull
rent
into
three
pieces
,
whereof
two
fell
into
the
next
seate
,
the
other
fell
down
in
the
seat
where
he
sate
;
his
braines
fell
intire
and
whole
into
the
next
seat
behind
him
,
his
blood
dasht
against
the
wall
:
some
of
the
skin
of
his
head
,
flesh
and
haire
,
to
the
quantitie
of
an
handfull
was
carried
into
the
Chancell
,
and
stuck
fast
,
as
with
lime
and
sand
newly
tempered
,
upon
one
of
the
posts
between
the
Church
and
the
Chancell
,
his
body
was
left
in
the
seat
as
though
it
had
been
alive
,
sitting
asleepe
,
leaning
upon
his
elbow
,
his
elbow
resting
on
the
deske
before
him
,
with
the
fore-part
of
his
head
and
face
whole
,
as
some
say
.
A
man
that
sate
next
to
him
in
the
same
seate
was
scolded
and
burnt
all
over
on
that
side
next
the
Warrenner
.
In
the
second
seat
behind
the
Warrenner
,
an
other
man
in
a
most
grievous
manner
was
burnt
and
scalded
all
over
his
bodie
,
from
his
head
downwards
below
his
knees
,
so
as
he
was
all
over
like
raw
flesh
,
and
his
cloathes
nothing
hurt
,
nor
his
head
and
haire
,
and
lived
in
great
misery
about
a
weeke
.
Some
seates
in
the
body
of
the
Church
were
torne
up
,
and
turned
upside
downe
,
and
they
that
sate
in
them
,
had
no
harme
,
notwithstanding
that
they
were
throwne
out
of
them
into
other
seates
three
or
foure
seates
higher
:
about
the
number
of
eight
boyes
setting
about
the
railes
of
the
Communion
Table
were
taken
up
and
throwne
on
heapes
within
the
railes
and
had
no
hurt
:
A
man
sitting
on
the
Church
beere
,
at
the
lower
end
of
the
Church
,
the
beere
was
struck
and
torne
,
and
the
man
throwne
into
a
seat
by
the
wall
side
,
and
had
no
hurt
:
a
beame
broke
in
the
middle
and
fell
betweene
the
minister
and
the
clarke
and
hurt
neither
.
The
Church
was
very
much
defased
and
torne
,
a
great
stone
neere
the
foundation
or
the
Church
was
torne
out
and
removed
:
stones
were
throwne
from
the
Tower
as
thicke
as
if
an
hundred
men
had
beene
there
throwing
them
,
some
of
such
waight
and
bignesse
as
no
man
was
able
to
lift
.
One
of
the
Pinnacles
of
the
Tower
was
throwne
downe
into
the
Church
:
the
pillar
against
which
the
Pulpet
standeth
,
being
newly
whited
was
made
black
:
the
roofe
of
the
Church
was
tome
,
and
a
great
part
thereof
broke
into
the
Church
:
a
bowlingalley
neere
the
Churchyard
was
turned
up
into
pits
and
holes
.
A
little
before
night
some
went
into
the
Church
to
fetch
out
the
dead
bodies
,
and
found
two
little
children
walking
hand
in
hand
,
and
had
no
hurt
,
and
seemed
by
their
countenance
to
be
nothing
frighted
.
The
fearefull
Iudgements
and
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
doe
serve
to
admonish
all
,
both
men
and
women
,
young
and
old
,
poore
and
rich
,
of
two
things
,
first
not
to
dare
to
appeare
before
God
in
their
sinnes
without
repentance
:
secondly
(
when
they
are
come
into
his
holy
presence
)
to
worship
him
reverently
both
in
body
and
in
Spirit
without
hipocrisie
.
Also
for
as
much
as
children
,
out
of
their
parents
sight
,
and
servants
out
of
their
masters
sight
,
doe
trouble
and
offend
many
with
their
talking
,
laughing
,
and
unreverent
behaviour
,
wherewith
they
doe
dishonour
and
provoke
God
to
wrath
,
that
therfore
parents
would
sanctifie
and
prepare
their
children
,
and
masters
their
servants
,
before
they
bring
them
to
appeare
before
the
Lord
their
God
,
as
God
commanded
Moses
to
sanctifie
the
people
,
and
that
the
people
should
wash
their
clothes
before
they
came
to
heare
the
Lord
,
when
hee
did
publish
the
Law
upon
Mount
Sinai
:
Exod
.
19.
Q.
12.
How
did
Moses
sanctifie
the
people
?
A.
Moses
did
sanctifie
them
by
praying
to
God
for
them
,
and
by
teaching
them
how
to
appeare
before
God
,
in
true
faith
and
repentance
and
how
to
behave
themselves
reverently
,
and
to
harken
with
holy
reverence
unto
the
Lord
speaking
unto
them
;
so
ought
parents
to
sanctifie
their
children
,
and
masters
their
servants
.
Qu
.
13.
Why
did
God
command
that
the
people
should
wash
their
clothes
?
A.
Sinne
is
a
loathsome
filthinesse
in
the
sight
of
God
,
Mal
.
2.15.20
.
Repentance
is
compared
to
washing
and
making
cleane
,
Isa
.
1.16
.
Ier
.
7.3
.
The
meaning
of
Almighty
God
,
in
commanding
that
the
people
should
wash
their
cloaths
was
to
shew
that
hee
would
not
have
them
to
appeare
before
him
in
their
sinnes
,
but
would
have
them
to
repent
them
of
their
sinnes
,
and
lead
a
new
life
,
and
give
an
outward
signe
and
token
thereof
by
appearing
before
him
in
cleane
cloathes
.
Hence
it
is
that
the
people
of
God
have
ever
since
put
on
cleane
aloathes
when
they
goe
to
the
publique
assembly
to
worship
God
.
Q.
14.
What
is
this
to
us
?
A.
This
serveth
to
teach
us
when
wee
put
off
our
old
,
or
foule
cloathes
,
to
thinke
upon
our
sinnes
,
wherewith
wee
have
defiled
our selves
,
and
bee
ashamed
and
afraid
to
appeare
in
our
sinnes
before
God
,
on
the
Lords
day
,
who
dyed
for
our
sinnes
,
and
rose
againe
for
our
Iustification
.
Q.
15.
Why
doth
God
begin
the
fourth
Commandement
with
a
memento
;
Remember
the
Sabboth
day
,
which
charge
is
not
in
any
of
the
other
Commandements
?
A.
God
doth
give
his
people
charge
to
remember
the
Sabboth
day
,
to
shew
that
hee
doth
make
great
reckoning
of
keeping
it
holy
,
and
therefore
would
have
his
people
to
remember
it
before
it
comes
,
that
they
may
prepare
themselves
and
dispose
of
their
affaires
so
,
as
they
may
attend
the
duties
of
the
Sabboth
.
Q
16.
Is
the
Commandement
laid
upon
all
alike
?
A.
No
,
the
greatest
charge
is
laid
upon
parents
that
have
children
,
and
upon
masters
that
have
servants
.
Q.
17.
Are
Magistrates
exempted
?
A.
No
,
the
Magistrate
above
all
is
bound
to
obey
and
to
have
a
care
of
the
Sabboth
,
as
Nehemiah
had
,
chap.
13.14
.
For
as
the
loadstone
draweth
iron
,
so
the
magistrates
example
doth
draw
the
people
:
when
Ieroboam
forsooke
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
hee
led
away
all
Israell
with
him
,
2
Chronicles
12.
when
Asa
swore
to
seek
the
Lord
,
the
people
sought
the
Lord
with
him
.
Q.
18.
What
reasons
can
you
shew
to
move
men
to
remember
the
Sabboth
day
to
keepe
it
holy
?
A.
God
himselfe
setteth
downe
five
strong
reasons
or
arguments
.
Q.
19.
What
is
the
first
?
A.
The
first
is
drawn
from
the
goodnesse
of
God
in
allowing
us
sixe
dayes
,
and
in
reserving
but
one
for
himselfe
.
Q.
20.
What
is
the
second
?
A.
The
second
is
drawne
from
the
authority
of
God
,
to
command
,
and
power
to
punish
such
as
will
not
obey
as
he
is
the
Lord
.
Q.
21.
What
is
the
third
?
A.
The
third
is
in
these
words
,
Thy
God
,
which
may
bee
framed
thus
.
The
people
with
whom
I
have
made
a
Covenant
to
bee
their
God
,
and
have
chosen
to
be
my
people
ought
to
serve
mee
;
but
I
have
made
a
Covenant
with
you
and
have
chosen
you
to
bee
my
people
,
and
have
appointed
the
seventh
day
for
my
service
:
therefore
you
ought
to
remember
the
seventh
day
to
keepe
it
holy
for
my
service
.
Q.
22.
What
is
the
fourth
?
The
fourth
is
in
these
words
,
The
Lord
blessed
the
seventh
Day
,
which
may
bee
framed
thus
,
the
day
that
I
,
the
Lord
your
God
have
blessed
,
that
is
,
the
day
that
I
have
appointed
to
bee
a
means
to
bring
my
blessing
on
them
that
doe
remember
it
to
keepe
it
holy
,
you
ought
to
remember
,
to
keepe
holy
:
but
the
seventh
day
is
the
day
that
I
have
appointed
to
bee
a
meanes
to
bring
my
blessing
on
them
that
doe
remember
it
,
to
keepe
it
holy
:
therefore
(
as
you
desire
my
blessing
)
you
ought
to
remember
the
seventh
day
to
keepe
it
holy
.
Q.
23.
What
is
the
fift
.
A.
The
fift
is
in
these
words
,
and
hallowed
it
,
which
may
be
thus
framed
,
the
day
that
I
the
Lord
your
God
have
hallowed
,
that
is
,
set
apart
to
bee
kept
holy
,
and
that
I
have
appointed
to
bee
a
means
to
sanctifie
them
,
that
doe
remember
it
to
keepe
it
holy
,
ought
to
be
remembred
,
and
kept
holy
:
but
the
seventh
day
is
the
day
that
I
have
set
apart
to
be
kept
holy
,
and
that
I
have
appointed
to
bee
a
meanes
to
sanctifie
them
that
do
remember
it
to
keepe
it
holy
:
therefore
as
you
desire
to
bee
Saints
militant
here
upon
earth
,
and
Saints
triumphant
in
Heaven
for
ever
,
remember
the
seventh
day
to
keepe
it
holy
.
Q.
24.
What
is
it
to
keepe
holy
the
seventh
day
?
A.
To
keepe
holy
the
seventh
day
,
is
to
rest
upon
it
from
our
owne
workes
,
wills
,
wayes
,
and
words
,
and
to
spend
it
in
holy
exercises
.
Q.
25.
How
ought
we
to
rest
?
A.
The
rest
ought
to
bee
first
inward
in
the
heart
,
from
thinking
,
musing
,
and
plodding
upon
worldly
businesses
,
profits
and
carnall
pleasures
.
Q.
26.
What
are
the
things
that
wee
ought
to
thinke
upon
on
the
seventh
day
?
A.
For
as
much
as
the
seventh
day
is
to
be
kept
holy
in
honour
of
God
the
Father
,
wee
ought
therefore
to
thinke
upon
his
holy
Majesty
,
and
upon
his
gooddesse
towards
us
,
in
creating
all
things
in
heaven
and
in
earth
next
to
his
owne
glory
to
serve
us
,
and
us
to
serve
him
,
and
to
praise
him
for
the
same
.
God
is
not
as
a
Carpenter
,
that
maketh
an
house
for
another
body
,
and
when
he
hath
done
takes
no
more
care
of
it
.
God
hath
from
the
beginning
and
will
to
the
end
of
the
world
,
shew
his
eternall
Wisedome
,
Power
,
Iustice
,
Mercy
,
Truth
Providence
and
Goodnesse
,
in
preserving
,
governing
and
disposing
of
all
things
to
his
owne
glory
and
good
of
his
people
:
therefore
wee
ought
to
thinke
and
consider
,
that
God
is
not
only
the
Creator
,
but
also
the
preserver
,
governor
,
and
disposer
of
all
things
,
and
to
praise
him
for
the
same
.
Q.
27.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
,
as
hee
is
the
Creator
of
all
things
?
A.
Our
duty
is
,
to
acknowledge
him
to
bee
Lord
and
owner
of
all
things
,
and
for
his
sake
have
a
care
not
to
abuse
,
nor
cruelly
to
handle
any
living
creature
,
no
not
such
as
are
hurtfull
,
and
which
wee
may
lawfully
hurt
and
destroy
;
wee
ought
to
shew
mercy
on
them
when
they
fall
into
our
hands
,
by
ridding
them
out
of
their
lives
as
soone
as
we
can
,
and
not
to
sport
our selves
with
tormenting
them
,
as
many
hard
hearted
wretches
do
most
cruelly
:
a
thing
unseemly
in
the
children
of
God
,
that
ought
to
be
mercifull
,
as
their
Heavenly
father
is
mercifull
.
Q
28.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
,
as
he
is
our
Creator
?
A.
Our
duty
is
,
to
be
wel
contented
with
that
shape
&
proportion
of
body
,
&
faculty
of
soule
wherein
he
hath
created
us
.
They
that
are
of
a
comly
shape
and
proportion
,
and
well
favoured
,
ought
not
to
beproud
,
nor
loath
scorne
,
nor
mocke
them
that
are
deformed
or
ill
favoured
,
but
rather
bee
moved
upon
sight
of
them
with
thankefull
hearts
to
praise
God
,
for
not
making
them
so
deformed
,
and
ill
favoured
.
Q.
29.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
as
he
is
the
preserver
of
all
things
?
A.
Our
duty
is
to
take
notice
of
his
Wisedome
,
Power
,
Providence
,
and
Goodnesse
;
and
to
praise
him
for
the
same
,
especially
for
his
Goodnesse
in
preserving
us
from
the
houre
that
wee
were
borne
till
this
houre
,
and
for
the
hope
that
wee
have
that
he
will
preserve
us
to
eternall
life
,
through
Iesus
Christ
.
Q.
30.
What
is
our
duty
towards
God
,
as
hee
is
governour
and
disposer
of
all
things
?
A.
Our
duty
is
to
bee
ruled
and
governed
by
him
,
and
to
be
well
contented
with
that
estate
of
life
wherein
it
pleaseth
his
holy
Majesty
to
place
us
,
how
meane
soever
it
be
,
and
patiently
to
beare
whatsoever
shall
please
his
holy
Majesty
to
lay
upon
us
,
either
for
our
sinnes
or
for
our
triall
.
These
things
we
ought
to
think
upon
every
day
,
especially
on
the
Lords
day
.
Q.
31.
What
other
things
ought
we
to
think
upon
on
the
Lords
day
?
A.
Wee
ought
with
loving
and
thankefull
hearts
to
think
upon
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
upon
those
things
that
he
hath
suffered
and
done
for
us
,
and
therewith
comfort
our selves
,
and
stirre
up
our
hearts
to
rejoyce
in
him
,
and
praise
his
holy
and
great
name
.
Also
for
as
much
as
the
seventh
day
was
ordained
for
the
publicke
worship
and
service
of
God
,
we
ought
therefore
to
thinke
upon
the
worship
and
service
of
God
,
and
of
the
time
of
assembling
therunto
,
and
have
a
care
by
holy
meditations
and
prayer
that
God
would
prepare
and
make
us
fit
to
joyne
with
the
congregation
in
that
part
of
Gods
worship
that
is
then
in
hand
;
as
,
if
the
Minister
bee
reading
,
or
preaching
,
wee
ought
then
to
hearken
diligently
with
reverence
,
or
if
the
Minister
and
people
bee
praying
,
and
singing
of
Psalmes
,
we
ought
then
presently
to
joyne
with
them
.
Q.
32.
What
ought
we
chiefly
to
think
upon
during
the
time
that
we
are
in
the
publike
assembly
?
A.
We
ought
then
to
thinke
and
consider
,
that
we
are
in
an
heaven
upon
earth
,
and
in
the
presence
of
the
holy
Trinity
,
and
of
the
holy
Angels
and
Saints
militant
.
Q.
33.
Where

you
finde

the
place
where
God
is
truly
worshipped
here
on

of
three

is
a
battell

in
heaven
betweene
Michael
and
his
Angels

and
the
Dragon

his
Angels
:
by
heaven
there
is
meant
,
not
the
highest
heaven
,
where
God
is
in
his
Kingdome
of
glory
,
for
there
is
no
such
Dragon
,
nor
battell
,
therefore
by
heaven
in
that
place
is
meant
,
the
place
where
the
true
worshippers
of
God
have
their
being
,
and
doe
assemble
themselves
to
worship
God
publikely
.
Q.
34

is
meant
by
the

Christ
.
Mal
.
4.2
.
whose
righteousnesse
imputed
to
them
that
doe
truly
repent
and
beleeve
in
him
,
doth
serve
as
a
garment
wherewith
their
sinnes
are
covered
and
kept
from
rising
up
in
Iudgement
to
condemne
them
.
Q.
35.
What
is
meant
by
the
Dragon
?

What
is
meant
by
the
battell
?
A.
By
the

persecutions
and
warre
raised
by
the
heathen
Emperors

thereof
.
Q.
37.
Where
doe
you
finde
that
the
holy
Trinity
,
and
the
holy
Angels
are
in
the
place
,
where
God
is
truly
worshipped
?
A.
In
the
fourth
chapter
of
the
Revelation
,
and
the
second
and
third
verses
mention
is
made
of
a
Throne
in
heaven
,
and
of
one
sitting
on
the
Throne
:
by
heaven
is
meant
the
place
where
God
is
truly
worshipped
,
by
the
Throne
is
meant
the
hearts
and
consciences
of
the
true
worshippers
of
God
;
he
that
sitteth
on
the
Throne
is
the
first
Person
in
the
holy
Trinity
,
God
the
Father
,
whose
admirable
glory
and
beauty
is
compared
to
two
of
the
most
pretious
stones
under
the
Sunne
,
a
Jasper
and
a
Sardine
.
Q.
38.
Wherein
doth
the
glory
and
beauty
of
God
shew
it selfe
unto
the
true
worshippers
?

Word
of
God

The
third
had
a
face
like
a

together
to
worship
him
in
peace

preached
unto

and
meditate
upon
it
while
it
is
fresh
in

I
doe
t
unfainedly
love
every
one
,
in
whom
Gods
Image
is
renewed
,
and
that
for
this
very
reason
:
Because
the
graces
of
Gods
Spirit
doe
u
shine
in
them
.
v
All
my
delight
hath
beene
in
them
that
excell
in
vertue
;
and
I
never
thought
my selfe
better
,
then
when
I
was
hearing
them
,
or
w
speaking
with
them
of
things
concerning
the
Kingdome
of
God
;
and
this
,
though
they
were
never
so
a
Poore
,
in
respect
of
their
outward
estate
.
Hence
I
gather
that
y
because
I
love
them
that
are
begotten
,
I
love
him
also
that
begat
them
:
and
if
I
love
them
for
his
sake
,
I
love
him
more
,
for
whose
sake
they
are
beloved
;
I
confesse
I
cannot
z
prove
my
love
by
my
obedience
,
which
is
full
of
imperfections
,
but
yet
my
defire
is
to
a
approve
my
heart
unto
God
:
and
it
is
b
against
my
purpose
and
resolution
,
when
I
doe
any
thing
by
which
God
is
offended

at
