WHat
is
the
Chief
End
of
Man
?
A.
Man's
Chief
End
is
to
glorify
God
,
and
to
enjoy
him
for
ever
.
Q.
1.
It
was
prudently
,
soberly
,
and
mercifully
,
to
govern
,
use
,
and
dispose
of
other
Creatures
in
the
Earth
,
Sea
,
and
Air
,
over
which
God
gave
man

They

dead
whilst
they
live
,

They
have
their
Portion
in

Life
,
and
their
end
is
destruction
Q.
3.
Man
cannot
glorifie
God
by
adding
any
new
degree
of
glory
to
him
.
but
by
manifesting
his
glory
with
the
Lips
or
with
the
life
Q.
4.
It
consists
In
the
facial
vision
of
him
in
Heaven
.
In
full
conformity
to
him
.

In
that
full
satisfaction
which
results
from
both

No
,
they
do
not
;
some
make
their
sensual
Pleasure
their

End

and
some
the
World
Q.
8.
Those
make
themselves
their
chief
End
,
who
ascribe
the
glory
of
what
they
have
,
or
do
,
to
themselves
,
and
not
to
God
,
Isa.

Q.
9.
Because
no
man
can
glorifie
God
,
that
takes
him
not
for
his
God
;
and
none
takes
him
for
his
God
,
that
takes
him
not
for
his
Supream
Good
;
and
both
these
being
essentially
included
in
this
Notion
of
the
chief
End
,
are
therefore
justly
put
together
.
Q.
10.
That
God
hath
dignified
Man
above
all
other
Creatures
on
Earth
,
in
giving
him
a
capacity
of
glorifying
God
here
,
and
of
enjoying
him
hereafter
.
Q.
11.
That
the
Soul
of
man
is
not
annihilated
by
Death
,
but
advanced
by
it
.
Q.
12.
That
it
is
the
duty
and
wisdom
of
every
Christian
to
renounce
,
deny
,
and
forsake
all
inferior
Interests
and
Enjoyments
when
they
come
in
competition
with
the
glory
of
God
,
and
our
enjoyment
of
him
.
Q.
13.
That
we
are
to
abhor
and
renounce
all
those
Doctrines
and
Practices
that
debase
the
glory
of
God
,
and
exalt
and
magnifie
the
Creature
.
WHat
Rule
hath
God
given
●o
direct
us
,
how
we
may
glorifie
and
enjoy
him
?
The
Word
of
God
,
which
is
contained
in
the
Scriptures
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament
,
is
the
only
rule
to
direct
us
,
how
we
may
glorify
and
enjoy
him
.
How
can
the
Scriptures
be
called
the
Word
of
God
,
seeing
the
things
contained
therein
,
were
spoken
and
written
by
men
?
What
are
the
principal
Arguments
to
persuade
us
that
the
Scriptures
are
of
Divine
Authority
,
and
Inspiration
?
What
is
the
Holiness
of
the
Scriptures
?
and
how
doth
that
prove
them
to
be
God's
Word
?
Whatsoever
things
are
pure
.
Secondly
.
Know
ye
not
,
that
the
unrighteous
shall
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
What
is
their
Authority
and
Efficacy
on
the
Soul
?
and
how
doth
that
prove
them
Divine
?
The
Word
of
God
is
quick
and
powerful
,
and
sharper
than
any
two-edged
Sword
,
piercing
even
to
the
dividing
asunder
of
Soul
and
Spirit
,
of
the
Ioynts
and
Marrow
;
and
is
a
discerner
of
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
the
heart
.
Secondly
,
The
Law
of
the
Lord
is
perfect
,
converting
the
Soul
.
Thirdly
,
The
Statutes
of
the
Lord
are
right
,
rejoycing
the
Heart
.
Sanctify
them
through
thy
truth
,
thy
word
is
truth
.
How
do
Miracles
confirm
it
And
no
man
can
do
these
miracles
that
thou
doest
,
except
God
be
with
him
What
was
the
end
of
writing
the
word
?
Search
the
Scriptures
,
for
in
them
ye
think
ye
have
Eternal
Life
,
and
they
are
they
which
testify
of
me
.
Doth
not
the
Authority
of
the
Scriptures
depend
on
the
Church
▪
Fathers
and
Councils
?
And
are
built
on
the
Foundations
of
the
Apostles
and
Prophets
,
Iesus
Christ
himself
being
the
chief
Corner
Stone
.
To
the
Law
,
and
to
the
Testimony
;
if
they
speak
not
according
to
this
word
,
't
is
because
there
is
no
light
in
them
.
What
may
be
fairly
inferr'd
from
this
Proposition
,
That
the
Scriptures
are
the
word
of
God
?
Search
the
Scriptures
These
were
more
noble
than
those
of
in
that
they
received
the
word
with
all
readiness
of
mind
,
and
search
the
Scriptures
daily
,
whether
those
things
were
so
.
Thirdly
,
But
in
vain
do
they
worship
me
,
teaching
for
Doctrines
the
Commandments
of
Men.
Quest.
3
WHat
do
the
Scriptures
principally
teach
?
A.
The
Scriptures
principally
teach
what
Man
is
to
believe
concerning
God
,
and
what
duty
God
requires
of
Man
.
Q.
1.
Because
Faith
is
the
principle
from
whence
all
Obedience
flows
,
and
no
man
can
perform
any
duty
aright
in
the
estate
of
unbelief
.
Q.
2.
No
;
for
the
Apostle
saith
,
And
v.
17.
Q.
3.
No
,
if
the
things
they
teach
be
not
contained
expresly
,
or
by
necessary
consequence
in
the
Word
of
God
,
we
are
not
obliged
to
believe
them
as
points
of
Faith
.
Gal.
1.8
And
Christ
hath
charged
us
Q.
4.
Every
part
of
Scripture
is
alike
pure
and
of
equal
authority
,
but
not
of
equal
weight
;
as
several
pieces
of
Gold
are
alike
pure
,
and
of
the
same
stamp
,
but
not
of
equal
value
.
Q.
5.
Hence
't
is
our
duty
to
examine
what
we
hear
,
by
the
Word
;
and
not
receive
any
Doctrine
,
because
men
confidently
affirm
it
,
but
because
the
Scriptures
require
it
.
That
Christian
Religion
is
not
notional
,
but
practical
;
and
that
impractical
Faith
saves
no
man
,
WHat
is
God
God
is
a
Spirit
,
Infinite
,
Eternal
and
Unchangeable
in
his
Being
,
Wisdom
,
Power
,
Holiness
,
Iu●tice
,
Goodness
and
Truth
.
Can
the
Nature
of
God
be
defined
,
so
as
men
may
express
properly
and
strictly
what
God
is
?
Canst
thou
by
searching
find
out
God
?
canst
thou
find
out
the
Almighty
unto
perfection
?
How
many
ways
are
there
by
which
men
may
know
and
describe
the
Nature
of
God
,
tho
still
with
imperfect
Knowledge
?
&c.
Secondly
(
i.
e.
How
many
sorts
of
Spirits
are
there
?
And
of
which
sort
is
God
?
If
God
be
a
Spirit
,
in
what
sense
are
we
to
understand
all
those
Scriptures
,
which
speak
of
the
Eyes
of
the
Lord
,
the
Ears
and
Hand
of
God
?
What
may
be
inferr'd
from
the
Spiritual
Nature
of
God
?
Take
ye
therefore
good
heed
unto
your selves
;
for
ye
saw
no
manner
of
Similitude
,
on
the
day
that
the
Lord
spoke
to
you
in
out
of
the
●●ast
of
the
Fire
;
lest
ye
corrupt
your selves
,
and
make
you
a
graven
Image
,
the
similitude
of
any
figure
,
What
else
may
be
inferr'd
from
thence
?
For
what
is
a
man
profited
if
he
gain
the
whole
world
,
and
lose
his
own
Soul
?
Or
what
shall
a
man
give
in
Exchange
for
his
Soul
?
What
further
Truth
may
be
inferr'd
hence
?
Let
us
cleanse
our selves
from
all
filthiness
of
flesh
and
spirit
What
also
may
be
inferr'd
from
hence
?
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
they
that
worship
him
,
must
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
.
Apply
this
WHat
is
the
sense
and
meaning
of
this
Word
[
Infinity
?
]
In
how
many
respects
is
God
infinite
?
There
is
none
holy
as
the
Lord
,
Thus
saith
the
high
and
lofty
one
,
that
inhabiteth
Eternity
,
Behold
the
Heaven
of
heavens
cannot
contain
thee
,
how
much
less
this
House
which
I
have
built
?
Canst
thou
by
searching
find
out
God
?
canst
thou
find
out
the
Almighty
to
perfection
?
If
God
be
thus
Infinite
,
and
no
understanding
can
comprehend
him
,
How
then
is
it
said
in
What
is
the
first
Lesson
to
be
learnt
from
God's
Infinity
?
If
I
say
,
surely
the
darkness
shall
cover
me
,
even
the
Night
shall
be
light
about
me
.
What
is
the
second
Instruction
from
hence
?
Forasmuch
as
ye
know
that
ye
were
not
redeemed
with
corruptible
things
,
as
Silver
and
Gold
—
but
with
the
precious
Blood
of
Christ
.
What
is
the
third
Instruction
from
God's
Infinity
?
do
exceeding
abundantly
above
all
that
we
can
ask
or
think
,
Ephes.
Who
shall
be
punished
with
everlasting
destruction
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
glory
of
his
power
.
What
is
the
fourth
,
Instruction
from
God's
Infinity
?
WHat
is
it
to
be
Eternal
,
as
God
is
?
From
everlasting
to
everlasting
thou
art
God
.
How
doth
God's
Eternity
differ
from
the
Eternity
of
Angels
,
and
Humane
Souls
?
In
what
sense
is
the
Covenant
called
an
everlasting
Covenant
?
In
what
sense
is
the
Gospel
Everlasting
?
In
what
sense
is
the
Redemption
of
Christ
called
the
Eternal
Redemption
?
He
that
heareth
my
word
,
and
believeth
on
him
that
sent
me
,
hath
everlasting
life
,
and
shall
not
come
into
condemnation
,
but
is
passed
from
death
unto
life
.
Why
is
the
last
Iudgment
of
the
world
by
Christ
,
called
Eternal
Iudgment
?
eternal
judgment
What
may
wicked
men
learn
from
the
Eternity
of
God
?
Who
shall
be
punished
with
everlasting
destruction
,
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
.
What
may
good
men
learn
from
it
?
In
thy
presence
is
fulness
of
joy
,
at
thy
right
hand
there
are
pleasures
for
evermore
.
What
may
all

learn
from

Mine

The

With

Whence

Immutability

By
what
other
Argument
prove
you
his
Immutability
?
everlasting
to

Bus
it
is
said
,
God
repents
,
and
Repentance
is
a
change
;
How
then

?
But
how
could
God

no

What
is
the

Instruction
from
God's
Immutability

Let
him
that

What
is
the

The
Essential

the
Glory

his

And
whatsoever

Q.
8.
The
second
Instruction
is

That
it
is
a
dangerous
arrogancy

the
Creature

either
to
prescribe

1.
The
Justice
of
God
is
the
perfect
rectitude

equity
of
his
Nature
,
whereby
he
is
just
in
himself
,
and
in
all
his
ways
towards
the
Creatures
.
That
it
infinitely
excels
all
humane
Justice
in
the
perfection
of
it
.
No
creature
can
compare
in
Justice
with
God
.
That
he
is
universally
righteous
in
all
his
administrations
in
the
world
.
The
greatest
evidence
that
ever
was
given
of
the
Justice
of

The
Second
Discovery

The

That

The

Inference
is
,
That
meekness

It
differs

are
happy

That
all
his

The

It

WHAT
special
Art
of
Providence
did
God
exercise
towards
Man
,
in
the
estate
wherein
he
was
created
?
A.
When
God
had
created
Man
,
he
entred
into
a
Covenant
of
Life
with
him
,
upon
condition
of
perfect
obedience
,
forbidding
him
to
eat
of
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
of
Good
and
Evil
upon

of

Q.
1.
A.
It
was
to
give
Life
and
Happiness
upon
condition
of
perfect
personal
Obedience
.
Q.
2.
It
was
made
with
him
,
and
all
his
natural
Posterity
,
descending
in
the
ordinary
way
of
Generation
from
him
.
Rom.
4.12
.
v.
14
and
18.
Yes
;
for
he
was
made
upright
.
No
,
he
neither
had
,
nor
needed
any
Mediator
for
satisfaction
;
because
no
sin
was
in
him
;
nor
intercession
,
for
he
wanted
nothing
.
No
,
it
did
not
;
but
sentenceth
and
curseth
the
Transgressors
of
it
,
for
the
least
breach
.
He
died
spiritually
,
that
day
;
and
though
the
sentence
on
his
body
was
respited
in
order
to
posterity
,
yet
then
his
body
received
the
death
wound
,
of
which
afterward
he
died
.
Miserable
are
all
they
that
grow
on
the
natural
root
of
the
first
That
God
is
just
in
all
the
punishments
and
miseries
that
came
upon
Man
,
yea
,
Infants
,
that
never
sinned
after
his
similitude
.
The
glorious
priviledge
of
believers
,
who
are
under
a
better
covenant
,
establisht
upon
better
promises
.
That
we
should
pity
the
unregenerate

Quest.
13.
DID
our
first
Parents
continue
in
the
estate
wherein
they
were
created
?
A.
Our
first
Parents
being
left
to
the
freeedom
of
their
own
w●ll
,
fell
from
thee
estate
wherein
they
were
created
,
by
sinning
against
God
.
By
the
Scripture
History
,
an
account
of
it
in
3.6
,
7.
And
the
sad
experience
we
all
have
of
it
in
our
own
selves
.
Though
he
was
upright
,
yet
his
will
was
mutable
;
and
by
abusing
that
liberty
,
he
fell
.
Not
by
inclining
him
to
abuse
it
;
but
by
with-holding
that
further
grace
which
he
was
no
way
obliged
to
continue
to
him
.
Yes
,
it
did
,
and
is
so
wounded
,
that
it
cannot
without
preventing
and
regenerating
grace
put
forth
one
spiritual
and
saving
act
.

Quest.
14.
WHAT
is
Sin
?
A.
Sin
is
any
want
of
conformity
unto
,
or
transgression
of
the
law
of
God
.
Q.
1.
The
Commands
and
Rules
flowing
from
God's
Soveraignty
,
whereby
his
will
is
manifested
,
and
the
Creature
bound
to
obedience
.
It
is
written
either
in
the
heart
,
Or
in
the
Bible
,
which
we
call
the
written
Moral
Law
.
Q.
3.
A
two
fold
conformity
is
due
to
it
.
Internal
,
in
our
hearts
External
,
in
our
lives
;
and
the
want
of
either
is
sin
,
1
Q
4.
Because
the
Law
requires
it
And
condemns
the
want
of
it
,
Q
5.
No
,
nothing
can
be
a
sin
but
what
God
hath
either
expresly
,
or
by
consequence
forbidden
in
his
word
.
Q
6
The
evil
of
sin
principally
lies
in
offence
and
wrong
done
to
God
,
whose
soveraignty
it
labours
to
shake
off
,
and
despises
his
will
.
Q.

It
highly
wrongs
the
Sinner's
Soul
,
by
defacing

defiling

and
damning
it
.
Q.
8.
It

manifested

the
death
of

,
the
terrors
of
Conscience
,
and
torments
of
Hell

Repentance
towards
God

faith
towards
Christ

both
evidenced
by

That
we
have
infinite
cause
to
bless

for
Christ's
satisfaction
of
the

for
our
Sins
.
Quest.
15.
WHat
is
the
sin
whereby
our
first
Parents
fell
from
the
Estate
wherein
they
were
created
?
A.
The
sin
whereby
our
first
Parents
fell
from
the
Estate
wherein
they
were
created
,
was
their
eating
the
forbidden
fruit
.
Not
from
any
natural
efficacy
it
had
to
give
knowledge
;
but
the
Knowledge
he
should
have
by
eating
,
or
not
eating
,
was
experimental
Knowledge
,
Knowledge
to
his
Sorrow
For
the
discovery
of
his
dominion
over
man
.
For
the
trial
of
his
subjection
and
obedience
.
For
the
aggravation
of
his
sin
,
if
he
should
eat
.
There
was
a
twofold
Evil
,
the
evil
of
Sin
,
and
the
evil
of
Punishment
,
both
very
great
.
A
threefold
Evil
of
Sin
.
Against
God
,
called
disobedience
Against
himself
,
Soul
,
Body
,
and
Estate
.
Against
his
Posterity
Loss
of
God's
Image
Horror
of

To

Not
to
hold
a
parly

.
See
2
Q.
8.
That
Satan's
policy
lies
much
in
the
choice
of
his
tempting
instruments
;
as
Q.
9.
A
necessity
of
keeping
strong-guards
on
our
Senses

Q.
10.
That
Covenant-breaking
is
a
heinous
sin
,
which
God
will
punish
.
Q.
11.
That
the
corruption
of
our
nature
is
much
seen
in
desiring
forbidden

Quest.
16.
DId
all
Mankind
fall
in
Adam's
first
transgression
?
A.
The
Covenant
being
made
with
Adam
,
not
only
for
himself
,
but
for
his
posterity
;
all
mankind
descending
from
him
by
ordinary
Generation
,
sinned
in
him
,
and
fell
with
him
in
his
first
transgression
.
Q.
1.
Yes
,
The
man
Christ
Jesus
did
,
and
he
only
.
Q.
2.
Because
he
came
into
the
world
in
an
extraordinary
way
.
Q.
3.
It
appears
by
Scripture-Testimony
And
experience
of
the
best
men
.
Q.
4.
Because
all
were
included
in
's
Covenant
,
as
a
Man's
Covenant
includes
his
Children
before
they
be
born
;
or
the
treason
of
the
father
affects
his
posterity
.
The
stupendious
wisdom
of
God
in
sending
Christ
in
our
nature
,
and
yet
without
the
sin
and
taint
of
it
.
1
Hence
we
learn
the
admirable
love
of
Christ
in
taking
our
nature
,
with
all
the
sinless
Infirmities
thereof
.
The
necessity
of
our
Union
with
Christ
,
in
order
to
our
participation
of
his
Righteousness
and
Redemption
.
1
Hence
we
learn
the
malignant
and
mortal
nature
of
sin
,
in
as
much
as
our
sin
defiled
and
destroyed
a
whole
world
.
That
though
all
be
not
equally
sensible
of
their
need
,
yet
one
sinner
needs
Christ
as
much
as
another
.
That
no
man
hath
any
cause
or
reason
to
boast
of
the
goodness
of
his
nature
,
since
the
best
were
by
nature
under
the
same
sin
and
misery
as
the
worst
.

INto
what

Mankind
?
A.
The

of
Sin
and
Misery
.
Q.
18.
Wherein
consists
the
sinfulness
of
that
Estat●
whereinto
Man
fell
?
A.
The
fulness
of
that
Estate
whereinto
man
fell
,
consists
in
the
guilt
of
Adam●s
first
Sin
,
the
want
of
original
Righteousness
,
and
corruption
of
his
●●ole
Nature
,
which
is
commonly
called
original
Sin
;
together
with
all
actual
Transgressions
which
proceed
from

All

of
two
sorts
of
Sin
;
of

It

It

Q.
5.
Though
Christ's
Blood
was
actually

after
the
Old-Testament

the

Christ's
Death
extends
to

That
all
that

Quest.
22.
HOw
did
Christ
being
the
Son
of
God
become
man
?
A.
Christ
the
Son
of
God
became
man
,
by
taking
to
himself
a
true
Body
,
and
a
reasonable
Soul
,
being
conceived
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
in
the
womb
of
the
Uirgin
Mary
,
and
born
of
her
,
yet
without
Sin
.
Q.
1
▪
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
their
only
Redeemer
,
and
there
is
no
other
Redeemer
besides
him
.
Q.
2.
He
is
the
Son
of
God
by
Nature
,
from
all
Eternity
,
and
so
no
Angel
or
Saint
is
.
Q.
3
That
he
might
be
capable
to
suffer
Death
in
our
room
.
2.15
,
16
,
17.
Q.
4.
Because
the
blood
of
a
meer
man
could
not
satisfy
and
redeem
us
.
Q.
5.
No
,
The
Humane
Nature
is
united
to
the
second
Person
,
and
subsists
in
union
with
it
.
Q
6.
No
,
It
continues
and
abides
for
ever
.
Q.
7.
Hence
we
learn
the
transcendent
love
of
God
to
poor
Sinners
.
Hence
we
learn
the
matchless
love
of
Christ
,
that
he
should
stoop
to
such
a
condition
for
us
.
2
Q.
9
That
the
greatest
Sins
are
capable
of
remission
to
Believers
.
Q
10.
That
those
that
be
in
Christ
need
not
fear
the
denial
or
want
of
an●
other
mercy
.
Q.
11.
Hence
we
learn
how
impious
it
is
to
ascribe
any
part
of
the
glory
of
redemption
to
any
other
besides
Christ
Q.
12.
This
teaches
us
the
miserable
condition
of
all
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
and
the
necessity
of
their
damnation
,
he
being
the
only
Redeemer
.
Quest.
1.
Yes
,
it
was
;
for
though
he

Q.
2.
Yes
,
it

.
Ver.

Q.
3.
Yes
,
he
had
,
a
real
Humane
Soul
also
,
and
all
the
natural
faculties
and
powers
thereof
.
Q.
4.
No
;
his
conception
was
not
like
others
.
Emanuel
.
And
he
had
no
sin
in
him
as
others
have
.
Heb.
7.26
.
Q.
5.
No
,
he
did
not
,
but
carried
it
up
to
glory
,
and
now
is
in

Nature
in
Heaven
.
1
Q.
6.
That
he
might
die
in
it
for
our
Salvation
.
Q
7.
He
raised
it
from

dead
,
for
our
Justification
.
Q
8.
To
be
a
Mediator
of
intercession
in
our
Nature
Q
9.
That
the
Body
of
Christ
is
not
every
where
,
but
is
contained
in
Heaven
.
Q.
10.
That
Christ
is
full
of
tender
compassions
to
his
peoples

.
Q.
11.
That
great
and
admirable
is
the
glory
designed
for
the
bodies
of
Believers
.
Q.
12.
That
the

of

WHat
Offices
doth

A.
Christ
as
our
Redeemer
doth
execute
the
Office
of
a
Prophet
,
of
a
Priest
,
and
of
a
King
,
both
in
his
Estate
of
Humiliation
and
Exaltation
.
Q.
1.
Christ's
States
are
twofold
,
namely
,
his
State
of
Humiliation
,
and
his
State
of
Exaltation
.
2.8

Q.
2.
Christ
hath
a
threefold
Office
;
namely
,
of
a
Prophet
,
of
a
Priest
,
and
of
a
King
.
Q.
3
Because
they
are
all
necessary
for
our
salvation
,
and
we
have
the
benefit
of
them
all
.
1
No
;
whoever
will
have
the
benefit
of
any
one
,
must
receive
him
in
all
.
The
Promises
flow
out
of
them
as
out
of
their
Fountain
.
2
All
the
Promises
of
Illumination
,
Guidance
and
Direction
flow
out
of
Christ's
Prophetical
Office
.
All
the
Promises
of
Pardon
and
Peace
flow
out
of
it
.
All
the
Prom●ses
of
Defence
,
Protection
and
Deliverances
.
Hence
we
learn
the
compleatness
of
Christ
for
all
the
wants
of
his
people
.
Hence
we
learn
the
folly
and
misery
of
all
Hypocrites
that
close
partially
with
Christ
.
Hence
we
learn
the
singular
dignity
of
the
Lord
Jesus
.
None
ever
have
all
those
Offices
but
Christ
.
That
Faith
is
a
considerate
act
;
and
requires
much
deliberation
.

At
Death
the
roots

Because
the
purity
of
the

State
admits
no

Q.
6.
That
Death
should
be
lovely

That
God

Q.
2.
Because
Heaven

Q.
3.
Because
at
Death
they
are
as
ready
for
Heaven
as
ever

Q.
4.
Because
Death
else
could
not
be

as
it
is

Q.
5.
Because
there
is
the
same
reason
for
all
,
as
for
any
one
:
but
some
are
immediately
glorified
.
Because
Christ
longs
for
their
coming
to
him
,
and
they
for
his
Enjoyment
;
and
these
longings
are
in
vain
,
if
not
satisfied

22.17
,
20.
That
the
Apparitions
of
departed
Saints
ordinarily
are
but
Fables
.
They
wander
not
.
That
Purgatory
is
a
groundless
Fable
,
and
invention
of
men
;
and
the
Scriptures
alledged
to
countenance
it
,
grosly
abused
.
1
That
Heaven
must
needs
be
a
marvellous
surprize
to
Believers
,
how
long
soever
they
have
conversed
with
it
here
.
The
consideration
of
this
should
provoke
Saints
to
work
hard
to
finish
all
they
have
to
do
on
Earth
.
That
there
is
no
reason
to
grieve
excessively
for
departed
Saints
.

That
Christless
ones
are
immediately
in
Hell

23.
Quest.
1.
Because
where
Sin
has
been
.
Death
by
the
Law
must
follow
.
'T
is
the
priviledge
of
their
Bodies
to
be
there
in
union
with
Christ
.
1
Their
Graves
are
places
of
Rest
;
not
Prisons
,
but
Beds
of
Rest.
All
the
toils
,
and
troubles
,
and
afflictions
of
this
life
.
They
rest
from
all
persecutions
from
men
.
They
rest
from
Sin
,
never
to
feel
temptation
or
inclination
to
sin
.
Not
for
ever
,
but
till
the
Day
of
the
Resurrection
.
That
union
with
Christ
redounds
to
the
singular
advantage
of
the
Body
as
well
as
the
Soul
.
That
Death
dissolves
not
the
union
betwixt
Christ
and
the
Souls
or
Bodies
of
his
.
That
seeing
our
Bodies
are
to
have
so
long
and
so
sweet
rest
in

we
should
not
spare
them

it

Because

The

'T

They

They

For

WHAT
is
the
Duty

A.
The
Duty
wh●ch
God
requireth
of
Man
,
is
Obedience
to
his
revealed
will

Q
1.
It
is
unquestionably
the
Duty
of
every

to
obey
the

,
so
far
as
he
hath
made
it
known
to

'T
is
due

But
not

In
that
case
we
must
yield
our
obedience
to
God
,
and
not
to
man

whatever
we
suffer
for
it

Q.
6.
Because
God
is
the
Supream
and
Sovereign
Lord
of

no
Creature
hath
power

command
our
Obedience

WHAT
did
God
at
first
reveal

the
Rule
of
his
Obedience

A.
The
Rule
which
God
at
first
revealed
to
Man
for
his
Obedience
,
was
the
Moral
Law
.
Q.
Where
is
the
Moral
Law
summarily
comprehended

A.
The
Moral
Law
is
summarily
comprehended
in
the
Ten
Commandments
.
Q.
1.
Yes
;
being
a
reasonable
Creature
is
capable
of
,
and
fitted
for
Government
by
Law
,
which
other
Creatures
are
not
;
and
being
an
accountable
Creature
to
God
,
must
needs
be
under
a
Law

Before

besides
this

the

had
the
revealed
will
of
God
to
direct
them

Q.
3.
'T
is
not
a
Law
to
direct

order
our
Manners
;
but
a
Law
that
binds
universally
and
perpetually

as
the
Ten

do
those
to
whom
they
are
promulged

and
the
Light

It

easier
for
Heaven

to
pass

than
one
tittle

fall

Q.
4.
Because
much
more

never

it

Hence
we
learn
the
abominable
Nature

to
the
Laws
of

assumes
Power
to

8.
That
man
dieth
not
as
Beasts

That
though

An

That

That
those

of
Life
So
are

only
we
can

WHAT
is
the
sum
of
the
Ten
Commandments
?
A.
The
sum
of
the
Ten
Commandments
is
to
love
the
Lord
our
God
with
all
our
hearts
,
with
all
our
soul
,
with
all
our
strength
,
and
with
all
our
mind
;
and
our
Neighbour
as
our selves
.
Q.
1.
To
love
the
Lord
our
God
with
a
Supream
love
,
and
Men
with
a
Sincere
love
,
in
and
for
him
.
22.37
,

Q.
2.
It
implies
the
loving
of
God
purely
and
absolutely
for
himself
.
The
Excellencies
that
are
in
him
.
And
the
benefits
we
receive
from
him
.
Q.
3.
Supream
love
devotes
the
whole
man
to
God
and
Christ
:
So
that
in
life
and
death
that
man
designs
the
Glory
of
God
as
his
main
end
.
14.7
,
8.
Q.
4.
It
causes
the
Soul
to
depreciate
and
slight
all
other
things
in
comparison
of
God's
Glory
,
and
an
Interest
in
Christ
.
Phil.
3.8
,

Q.
5.
It
centers
the
Soul
in
God
as
its
only
rest
.
And
cannot
be
satisfied
till
it
come
to
the
full
enjoyment
of
him
.

Q.
6.
Because
such
a
love
only
suits
the
transcendent
Excellency
of
God
.
Commands
all
we
are
and
have
for
God
,
and
is
the
only
love
that
will
continue
to
the
end
.
Q.
7.
It
is
the
exact
Observation
and
Practice
of
the
golden
Rule
of
Christ
.
Q.
8.
No
;
tho
we
must
love
all
men
with
the
love
of
Benevolence
;
yet
the
Saints
only
with
the
love
of
Complacency
.
And
to
such
we
must
especially
do
good
.
Q.
9.
Hence
we
learn
the
excellency
of
Divine
love
.
expresses
the
Whole
Duty
of
Man
in
Ten
Commandments
.
Christ
hangs
the
Whole
Law
upon
these
Two
,
Love
to
God
,
and
our
Neighbour
.
12.30
,
31.
And
the
Apostle
reduces
these
Two
into
One
.
Q.
10.
It
convinces
the
holiest
of
men
how
far
short
they
come
in
their
Obedience
to
the
rule
of
duty
,
and
therein
Gal.
3.24
Q.
11.
It
discovers
the
excellency
and
perfection
of
the
Law
of
God
.
And
that
we
are
highly
to
honour
and
magnify
it
as
a
rule
of
duty
,
though
we
must
utterly
renounce
it
as
the
way
of
our
Justification
.
Q.
12.
That
there
is
nothing
too
dear
for
a
Christian
in
this
world
,
but
he
must
give
it
up
by
self-denial
,
when
it
comes
in
competition
with
his
supream
love
to
God

teach
us
,
that
because
God

our
God

And
because
he
delights

2.
It
is
the
sovereignty

of
every
man
to

He

The
Idolatry

The
second
Sin

first
Reason

Sovereignty

that
it
belongs
to
God
only

his
own
Worship
,
and
make
it
effectual

and
therefore
to
do
that
in
his
Worship
which
he
never
commanded

sinful
and
dangerous

7.
The
second
Reason
is
Gods
Propriety
in
us
;

is
our
God
,
and
we
belong
to
him

and
therefore
to
corrupt
his
Worship

our
Sin

The
jealousie
of
God
over
his
Worship
and
Worshippers

What
is
the
Reason
annexed
to

The
Reason
annexed

,
that
however
the
breakers
of

1.
The
first
hath
respect
to
the
object

the
means
of
Worship
,
forbidding
us
to
worship
God
by
any
other
means
than
what
he
hath
prescribed
.
But
the
third
respects
the
manner
of
his
Worship
,
●orbidding
all
careless
or
profane
use
of
his
Name
,
and
commanding
an
holy

all
our
solemn
addresses
to
him

ordinary
mention
of

is
the
fourth
Commandment
The
fourth
Commandment
is
What
is
required
in
the
fourth
Commandment
?
The
fourth
Commandment
requireth
the
keeping
holy
to
God
,
such
set
time
as
he
hath
appointed
in
his
Word
,
expresly
one
whole
day
in
seven
,
to
be
an
holy
Sabbath
unto
the
Lord
.
Which
day
of
the
seven
hath
God
appointed
to
be
the
weekly
Sabbath
?
From
the
beginning
of
the
World
to
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
God
hath
appointed
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
to
be
the
weekly
Sabbath
;
and
the
first
day
of
the
week
ever
since
,
to
continue
to
the
end
of
the
World
,
which
is
the
Christian
Sabbath
.
What
special
marks
of
honour
hath
God
set
upon
this
fourth
Commandment
?
W●y
will
God
have
a
Sabbath
observed
on
Earth
?
There
remaineth
therefore
a
rest
to
the
people
of
God
.
For
what
other
Reasons
will
God
have
a
Sabbath
?
If
thou
turn
away
thy
foot
from
the
sabbath
,
from
doing
thy
p●easure
on
my
holy
day
,
and
call
the
sabbath
a
delight
,
the
holy
of
the
Lord
,
honourable
,
and
shalt
honour
him
,
not
doing
thine
own
ways
,
nor
finding
thine
own
pleasure
,
nor
speaking
thine
own
words
.
And
he
said
unto
them
,
the
sabbath
was
made
for
man
,
not
man
for
the
sabbath
.
Is
this
Commandment
Moral
and
Perpetual
,
or
Ceremonial
and
Temporary
?
But
pray
ye
,
that
your
flight
be
not
in
the
winter
,
neither
on
the
sabbath
day
.
What
day
of
the
seven
is
the
Christian
Sabbath
?
This
is
the
day
which
the
Lord
hath
made
;
we
will
rejoyce
and
be
glad
in
it
.
I
was
in
the
Spirit
on
the
Lords
day
.
And
upon
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
when
the
disciples
came
together
to
break
bread
,
Paul
preached
unto
them
,
Vpon
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
let
every
one
of
you
lay
by
him
in
store
,
as
God
hath
prospered
him
,
that
there
be
no
gatherings
when
I
come
.
When
doth
the
Christian
Sabbath
begin
?
In
the
end
of
the
sabbath
,
as
it
began
to
dawn
,
towards
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
came
Mary
Magdalene
,
and
the
other
Mary
to
see
the
sepulchre
.
What
is
the
ground
of
changing
the
day
?
This
is
the
day
which
the
Lord
hath
made
;
we
will
rejoyce
,
and
be
glad
in
it
.
Now
when
Iesus
was
risen
early
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
he
appeared
first
to
Mary
Magdalene
,
out
of
whom
he
had
cast
seven
devils
.
Is
it
the
whole
day
,
or
only
some
hours
of
the
day
that
are
set
apart
for
God
?
Remember
that
thou
keep
holy
the
sabbath
day
,
Is
there
any
other
day
holy
besides
this
?
Ye
observe
dayes
,
and
months
,
and
times
,
and
years
.
But
seeing
every
day
should
be
a
Sabbath
to
a
Christian
,
what
needs
any
other
set
time
?
But
if
a
man
scruple
the
change
of
the
Sabbath
,
may
he
not
keep
both
dayes
weekly
?
Six
days
shalt
thou
labour
At
what
time
should
Christians
be
up
,
and
at
their
Duties
on
the
Lords
day
?
Now
therefore
are
we
all
here
present
before
God
,
to
hear
all
things
that
are
commanded
thee
of
God
.
Quest.

all
that

lawful
on
other

,
and
spending
the
whole
time
in
the
publick
and
private
exercises
of

so
much
as
is
to
be
taken
up
in
the

of
necessity
and
mercy
.

which
is
in

by
unnecessary
thoughts
,
words
or
works
,
about
our
worldly
employments
or
recreations
.
Quest.
62.
What
are
the
Reasons
annexed
to
the
fourth
Commandment
?
A.
The
Reasons
annexed
to
the
fourth
Commandment
are
,
Gods
allowing
us
six
days
of
the
week
for
our
own
employment
,
his
challenging
a
special
propriety
in
the
seventh
,
his
own
example
,
and
his
blessing
the
Sabbath
day
.
Q.
1.
It
is
not
a
meer
natural
or
civil
,
but
an
holy
rest
,
resembling
the
rest
in
Heaven
.
wherein
the
Mind
is
most
active
and
busie
in
the
work
of
God
,
though
the
Body
be
at
rest
,
and
the
Spirit
not
wearied
with
its
work
Q.
2.
No
;
it
is
sinful
to
put
our
hands
ordinarily
to
our
Callings
on
that
day
,
and
God
usually
punishes
it
:
13.15
,
16
,
17
,
18.
Q.
3.
Recreations
of
the
Body
which
are
lawful
on
other
days
,
are
sinful
on
this
day
;
and
all
the
Recreations
of
the
Mind
allowed
on
this
day
,
are
Spiritual
and
Heavenly
58.13
,
14.
Q.
4.
Christs
example
warrants
works
of
necessity
,
and
works
of
mercy
,
but
no
other
,
12.3
,
4.
Q.
5.
The
publick
Worship
of
God
in
reading
and
hearing
the
Word
preached
Luke
4.16
And
Prayer
16.13
,
14.
&c.
And
receiving
the
Sacrament
Q.
6.
Yes
;
it
is
not
enough
to
sanctifie
the
Sabbath
in
publick
Ordinances
,
but
God
requires
it
to
be
sanctified
in
Family
and
private
Duties
Q.
7.
They
are
to
be
performed
with
Spiritual
delight
&c.
And
all
grudging
at
,
and
weariness
of
Spiritual
exercises
is
a
sin
forbidden
Amos
8.5
Q.
8.
The
first
Reason
is
the
sufficient
and
large
allowance
of
time
God
hath
given
us
for
our
civil
Callings
and
earthly
business
.
Six
days
in
the
week
is
a
large
allowance
.
Q.
9.
The
second
Reason
is
Gods
sanctifying
and
separating
this
day
by
a
special
Command
and
Institution
for
his
service
;
so
that
to
profane
this
time
is
to
sin
against
an
express
Divine
Statute
.
Q.
10.
The
third
Reason
is
Gods
own
Example
,
who
rested
the
seventh
day
from
all
his
works
,
and
blessed
this
day
,
by
vertue
of
which
Blessing
we
are
encouraged
to
sanctifie
it
.
Q.
11.
No
;
if
God
hath
put
any
under
our
Authority
,
their
profaning
the
Sabbath
will
become
our
sin
,
though
we
be
never
so
strict
in
the
observation
of
it
our selves
.
Q.
12.
Except
Necessity
or
Mercy
urge
us
,
we
ought
to
break
off
before
,
and
allow
some
time
to
prepare
for
the
Sabbath
Q.
13.
That
we
have
all
great
cause
to
be
humbled
for
our
Sabbath
transgressions
,
either
in
our
unpreparedness
for
it
,
our
want
of
delight
and
spirituality
in
it
,
or
the
due
government
of
our
Families
,
as
God
requires
.
Q.
14.
That
Christians
on
the
Sabbath
day
have
a
fair
occasion
and
help
to
real●ize
to
themselves
the
Heavenly
state
,
in
which
they
are
to
live
abstract
from
the
World
,
and
God
is
to
be
all
in
all
to
them
.

Quest.

IS
any
man
able
perfectly
to
keep
the
Commandments
of
God
?
A.
No
meer
man
,
since
the
fall
,
is
able
in
this
life
perfectly
to
keep
the
Commandments
of
God
,
but
doth
dayly
break
them
in
Thought
,
Word
,
and
Deed.
Q.
1.
It
consists
in
the
perfect
and
constant
conformity
of
the
internal
and
external
Actions
of
Heart
and
Life
,
to
every
Command
of
God
,
Matth.
22.37

Q.
2.
No
,
for
an
inward
motion
of
sin
in
the
Heart
,
that
never
breaks
forth
into
act
,
is
a
violation
of
the
Law
,
and
brings
the
Soul
under
the
curse
of
it

&c.
And

28.
Q.
3.
No
he
cannot
;
for
the
transgression
of
any
one
Command
in
the
least
degree
,
is
a
breach
of
all
,
and
brings
the
curse
of
the
whole
upon
a
Mans
Soul

Q.
4.
in
his
innocent
state
kept
it
,
for
he
was
made
upright
,
&c.
And
Christ
perfectly
kept
it
,
Q.
5.
It
is
because
the
Law
of
God
is
perfect
,
and
the
best
of
Men
in
this
life
are
imperfect
,
Q.
6.
No
,
because
even
in
the
regenerate
there
is
a
Law
of
Sin
which
wars
against
the
Law
of
God

&c.
Rom.

&c.
And
though
they
are
said
not
to
sin
,

that
is
not
to
be
taken
absolutely
;
but
comparatively
,
as
they
once
did
,
and
others
still
do

Q.
7.
'T
is
true
that
Christ
did
put
the
young
man
upon
this
task
,
But
it
was
not
on
a
supposition
that
he
was
able
to
do
it
,
but
to
convince
him
of
the
impossibility
of
Justification
that
way
.
Q.
8.
'T
is
true
that
the
Apostle
doth
say
so
,
8.4
.
but
the
meaning
is
not
,
that
we
fulfil
it
in
our
own
persons
by
our
compleat
obedience
to
it
,
but
it
is
fulfilled
in
us
by
our
union
with
Christ
,
who
perfectly
kept
it
;
and
that
Righteousness
of
the
Law
which
is
in
Christ
,
becomes
ours
by
Gods
imputation
of
it
to
us

Q
9.
That
Justification
by
our
own
Works
is
utterly
impossible
to
the
holiest
of
Men

Psal.
130.3
Q.
10.
Hence
we
learn
what
an
infinite
Mercy
it
is

that
God
sent
Jesus
Christ
made

we
could
never

Q.
11.
That
the
dreadful
Curse
must
needs
lye
on
all
Unbelievers
that
are
out
of

And
seek
their
Justification
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law

Q.
12.
What
a
deluge
of
sin
and
misery
brake

upon
the
whole
World
by
the
fall
of

all
his
Posterity
being
by
him
plunged
under

Q.
13.
That
the
Popish
Doctrines
of
Merits
,
and
Works
of
Supererogation
are
false
and
groundless
Doctrines
,
springing
out
of
the
ignorance

pride
of

heart

Q.
14.
That
all
Gods
people
should
sigh
under
their
unhappy
necessity
of

Christ
in
the
perfect

Quest.
83.
ARe
all
Transgressions
of
the
Law
equally
hainous
?
A.
Some
Sins
in
themselves
,
and
by
reason
of
several
Aggravations
,
are
more
hainous
in
the
sight
of
God
than
others
.
Q.
1
The
first
difference
betwixt
one
sin
and
another
,
ariseth
from
the
immediate
object
,
against
which
the
sin
is
committed
;
on
this
account
sins
immediately
committed
against
God
,
are
more
heinous
than
sins
committed
immediately
against
Man
;
1
And
all
sins
of
the
First
Table
are
greater
than
those
of
the
Second
;
yet
there
are
crying
sins
against
the
Second

The

Q.
4.
The
sin
of
or
denying
the
Being
of
God
,
is
a
sin
of
the
first
magnitude
,
This
was
the
sin
of
Exod.
5.2
Q.
5.
The
sin
of

The

Though

Let

Man
neglect

because
his

WHat
doth

Every

deserveth
Gods
Wrath
and
Curse
,
both
in
this
Life

and
that
which

It

principally
in
the

It

we
learn
the
impossibility
of

Gods
Justice
for
the

what
an

It
vindicates

WHat
doth

require
of

us
for
Sin
?
A.
To
escape
the
Wrath

Curse
of
God
due
to

for

God
requireth
of

Faith
in
Iesus

the
diligent
use
of

Though
they
are
our

we

Though
God

yet
have

no
union

The

but
our

No

it

not

No

Sobriety

Q.
10.
Hence
it
appears
how
false

dangerous
the
Doctrine
is
,
which
teacheth
that
our
Sins
are
pardoned
before
they
are
committed
,
or
we
either
believe
or
repent
,
contrary
to
James
5.20
&c.
Acts
10.43
Q.
11.
Hence
it
follows
that
it
is
dangerous
on
the
one
side
not
to
strive
in
all
the
wayes
of
Duty
for
Christ
and
Salvation
,
contrary
to
And
as
dangerous
on
the
other
side
to
rest
in

and
depend
on
our
own
Works

Duties

12.
Hence
we
learn
the
miserable

of
all
unbelievers

impenitent

the

Wrath
of
God
lyes
upon

a
Sinner
out
of
a
true
sense
of
his
sin
,
and
apprehension
of
the
Mercy
of
God
in
Christ
doth
with
grief
and
hatred
of
his
sin
,
turn
from
it
unto
God
with
full
purpose
of

and
endeavour
after
new
obedience

Q.

of
God
is
the
Author
of

13.
Q.
4.
No
;
there
must
be
apprehension
of
Mercy
and
forgiveness

this
Mercy
must
be
discerned
in

consists
in
real
inward
sorrow
for
sin

the
impenitent

Q.
11.
That
it
's
a
false
Doctrine
,
which
teaches
us
that
sins
are
actually
forgiven
from
Eternity

need
either
of
Repentance
or
Prayer
,
save
only
for
the
manifestation
of

A.
The
outward

more
explicitly

obliges

Because
their

,
Christ
and
the
benefits
of
the
New
Covenant
are
represented
,
sealed
and
applyed
to
Believers
.

takes
place
of
Circumcision

And
the
Lords
Supper
of
the
Passover
,
1
Q.
5.
Every
Sacrament
consists
of
two
parts
,
one
external
and
earthly
;
another
internal
and
Heavenly
,
or
Spiritual
.
Bread
,
Wine
and
Water
,
are
the
external
,
Christs
Blood
and
Spirit
the
internal
parts
,
1
Cor.
11.25
Q.
6.
It
consists
by
vertue
of
Christs
institution
in
three
things
,
(
1.
)
In
apt
(
2.
)
Firm
And
(
3.
)
Real
of
the
Blessings
signified
and
seald
.
Q.
7.
It
signifies
our
implantation
into
Christ
,
and
communion
with
him
in
his
Death
and
Resurrection
,
And
our
solemn
admission
into
the
visible
Church
,
3.26
,
27
,
28
,
29.
Q.
8.
They
signifie
Christs
Body
and
Blood
,
broken
and
poured
out
for
us
,
with
all
the
Blessings
of
Remission
,
Peace
and
Salvation
purchased
by
his
Blood
,
1
10.16
,
17.
Q.
9.
Yes
,
they
do
&c.
Their
use
is
to
confirm
Gods
Covenant
with
Believers
.
Q.
10.
Believers
and
their
Seed
are
the
subjects
of
Baptism
,
but
adult
Christians
only
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
2.38

1
Cor.
11.26
Q.
12.
That
the
abuse
of
such
holy
and
solemn
mysteries
,
is
a
sin
of
dreadful
aggravation
,
and
such
as
God
will
punish
,
1
Q.
13.
Hence
we
learn
the
tender
care
and
love
of
Christ
over
the
Church
in
instituting
such
useful
and
comfortable
Ordinances
for
us
.

WHich
are
the
Sacraments
of
the
New
Testament
?
A.
The
Sacraments
of
the
New
Testament
are
Baptism
,
and
the
Lords
Supper
?
Q.
1.
Christ
hath
appointed
two
and
no
more
,
these
being
sufficient
for
our
initiation
and
confirmation
.
Q.
2.
They
have
added
five
more
Q.
3.
It
is
the
anointing
of
the
Baptized
with
Chrism
in
the
Forehead
,
with
this
Form
of
Words
,
Q.
4.
The
abuse
of
that
Scripture
&c.
which
by
a
figurative
speech
,
expresseth
the
whole
standing
Ministry
in
the
Church
by
laying
on
of
Hands
.
Q.
5.
It
is
Repentance
manifested
by
outward
signs
,
to
which
the
word
of
Absolution
coming
,
makes
it
a
Sacrament
misgrounded
on
,
Q.
6.
It
is
the
laying
on
of
Hands
in
Ordination
of
Ministers
,
by
which
they
conceive
Spiritual
Grace
is
given
by
mistake
of

Q.
7.
It
is
Marriage
,
grounded
upon
those
words
of
the
Apostle
,
Q.
8.
Extream
Unction
,
or
anointing
the
Sick
near
Death
with
consecrated
Oyl
,
grounded
on
Which
are
neither
Sacramental-Rites
,
nor
of
ordinary
standing
use
in
the
Church
,
but
extraordinary
and
temporary
for
that
Age.
Q.
9.
Hence
we
learn
how
apt
men
are
to
corrupt
Gods
Ordinances
by
their
superstitious
additions
,
Q.
10.
How
just
and
necessary
our
separation

who
have
grosly
corrupted
Gods

and
left

Quest.
94.
WHat
is
Baptism
?
A.
Baptism
is
a
Sacrament
,
wherein
the
washing
of
Water
,
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
doth
signifie
and
seal
our
ingrafting
into
Christ
,
and
partaking
of
the
benefits
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
our
engagement
to
be
the
Lords
.
Q.
1.
It
is
pure
unmixed
Water
And
therefore
it
's
a
vile
practice
of
to
add
Oyl
,
Salt
and
Spittle
to
Water
in
Baptism
.
Q.
2.
It
signifies
the
Blood
of
Christ
,
Q.
3.
In
the
freeness
of
it
to
all
,
it
represents
the
unpurchased
Blood
of
Christ
,
Q.
4.
It
resembles
it
in
its
refreshing
quality
;
Water
refresheth
the
thirsty
;
so
doth
Christs
Blood
,
The
cleansing
property
of
Water
shews
the
purifying
vertue
of
Christs
Blood
,
●
.
14
Q
6.
It
resembles
it
in
the
necessity
of
it
;
for
as
the
Body
cannot
live
without
Water
,
so
neither
can
the
Soul
without
Christs
Blood
,
Q.
7.
As
Water
neither
refreshes
,
nor
purifies
the
Body
without
application
;
so
neither
doth
Christs
Blood
refresh
or
purifie
the
Soul
till
applyed
,
1
Q.
8.
The
word
signifying
as
well
to
wash
,
as
to
plunge
:
A
person
may
be
truly
Baptized
that
is
not
plunged
▪
And
we
cannot
think
by
the
circumstances
of
time
and
place
,
that
the
in
the
night
was
carryed
to
a
River
out
of
the
City
,
Q.
9.
John
3.23
.
That
John
was
baptizing
in
Aenon
near
to
Salim
,
because
there
was
much
water
there
;
and
they
came
and
were
baptized
?
The
word
signifies
many
waters
(
that
is
)
springs
of
waters
there
,
which
are
known
by
Travellers
to
be
small
,
not
capable
of
plunging
into
.
Q.
10.
The
benefits
are
twofold
;
some
external
,
called
the
fatness
of
the
Olive-tree
,
Ordinances
and
visible
Membership
And
some
spiritual
and
saving
,
1
Q.
11.
They
are
engaged
to
be
the
Lords
people
and
walk
suitable
to
that
engagement
,
Q.
12.
No
;
for
the
Lords
Supper
is
a
Sacrament
for
nourishing
,
but
this
for
implantation
6.4
,
5.
Q.
13.
No
,
it
doth
not
in
its
own
vertue
convey
Grace
,
no
more
than
the
Lords
Supper
;
but
the
Spirit
of
God
is
the
Author
of
Grace
,
and
works
it
as
he
pleases
before
,
or
after
Baptism
.
Quest.
95.
TO
whom
is
Baptism
to
be
administred
?
A.
Baptism
is
not
to
be
administred
to
any
that
are
out
of
the
visible
Church
,
till
they
profess
their
Faith
in
Christ
,
and
Obedience
to
him
,
but
the
infants
of
such
as
are
members
of
the
visible
Church
are
to
be
Baptized
.
Q.
1.
Believers
and
their
insane
off-spring
Q.
2.
It
appears
by
this
,
that
they
being
Seed
,
were
taken
into
Covenant
with
God
,
and
ordered
to
have
the
sign
of
the
Covenant
applyed
to
them
,
and
that
Grant
was
never
reversed
,
17.7
,
10.
Q.
3.
No
,
it
was
not
;
for
God
never
did
,
nor
will
become
a
God
by
way
of
special
interest
to
any
people
,
by
vertue
of
the
Covenant
of
Works
,
since
the
breach
of
it
by
the
fall
.
Q.
4.
It
appears
plainly
from
the
Apostles
own
words
and
arguments
,
Q.
5.
It
appears
the
membership
and
priviledges
are
as
sure
and
ample
to
them
now
,
that
are
the
Children
of
as
ever
they
were
to
the
Q.
6.
It
appears
by
this
,
that
they
are
pronounced
holy
,
1
Which
is
a
and
none
out
of
Covenant
can
be
holy
by
Covenant
.
Q.
7.
No
,
it
cannot
;
for
then
the
Apostle
must
pronounce
all
the
Infants
in
the
World
that
descend
not
at
least
from
one
believing
Parent
.
Q.
8.
A
Child
now
of
eight
dayes
old
is
as
capable
of
being
admitted
into
Covenant
with
God
,
as
Children
of
the
same
age
were
in
dayes
;
and
then
it
's
manifest
they
were
admitted
.
Q.
9.
Yes
,
it
will
;
for
though
Circumcision
cease
,
yet
Baptism
is
come
into
its
place
,
2.10
,
11
,
12.
Q.
10.
Circumcision
never
was
,
nor
was
intended
to
be
a
Seal
of
the
Covenant
of
Works
,
but
of
the
Righteousness
of
Faith
,
Q.
11.
There
needed
no
new
command
;
their
priviledge
had
been
setled
many
ages
before
upon
them
,
and
never
reversed
by
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
,
but
their
former
right
declared
to
continue
still
to
them
,
Q.
12.
'T
is
manifest
that
Believers
housholds
were
baptized
with
them
,
16.15
,
33.
&c.
Ver.
33.
And
if
Infants
are
not
named
,
so
neither
are
any
of
Age
,
born
of
Christian
Parents
.
Q.
13.
They
do
so
;
yet
the
Duty
is
not
therefore
to
be
neglected
.
The
preaching
of
Christ
is
to
some
a
stumbling
block
,
yet
Christ
must
be
preached
for
all
that
.
Q.
14.
And
so
do
many
baptized
at
Age
too
.
Duties
are
not
to
be
measured
by
events
.
Quest.
96.
WHat
is
the
Lords
Supper
?
A.
The
Lords
Supper
is
a
Sacrament
,
wherein
by
giving
and
receiving
Bread
and
Wine
according
to
Christs
appointment
,
his
Death
is
shewed
forth
;
and
the
worthy
receivers
are
,
not
after
a
corporal
and
carnal
manner
,
but
by
Faith
made
partakers
of
his
Body
and
Blood
,
with
all
his
benefits
to
their
spiritual
nourishment
,
and
growth
in
Grace
.
Q.
1.
By
the
soveraign
authority
of
Christ
the
King
of
the
Church
,
and
not
by
the
pleasure
of
man
,
1
Q.
2.
It
consists
of
two
parts
,
one
earthly
and
visible
;
to
wit
,
Bread
and
Wine
,
the
other
spiritual
and
invisible
,
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Christ
,
1
Q.
3.
By
the
word
of
institution
and
blessing
coming
from
Christ
upon
them
,
1
11.23
,
24
,
25.
Q.
4.
He
instituted
it
in
the
same
night
he
was
betrayed
,
1
It
could
not
be
sooner
,
because
the
Passover
must
be
first
celebrated
,
and
by
the
institution
of
this
abrogated
.
Nor
later
,
for
soon
after
he
was
apprehended
.
Q.
5.
It
teacheth
us
how
great
Christs
care
and
love
to
his
people
is
,
that
he
makes
in
his
Ordinance
such
provision
for
our
comfort
,
though
he
knew
his
own
bitter
agony
was
just
at
hand
.
Q.
6.
It
is
to
confirm
,
seal
and
ratifie
the
New
Covenant
to
Believers
,
1
Q.
7.
The
first
particular
end
and
use
of
it
is
,
to
bring
Christ
and
his
Sufferings
afresh
to
our
remembrance
,
1
11.24
,
25.
Q.
8.
Not
a
meer
speculative
,
but
an
affectionate
heart-melting
remembrance
of
him
,
like
that
of
Or
of
43.29
,
30.
Q.
9.
It
implyes
this
,
that
the
best
of
Gods
people
are
too
apt
to
forget
Christ
,
and
what
he
hath
endured
and
suffered
for
them
.
Q.
10.
It
implies
this
,
that
none
but
those
that
have
the
saving
knowledge
of
Christ
,
and
have
had
former
acquaintance
with
Christ
,
are
fit
for
this
Ordinance
;
for
no
man
can
remember
what
he
never
knew
,
1
Q.
11.
It
is
to
represent
Christ
to
Believers
,
as
an
apt
sign
of
him
,
and
of
his
Death
;
and
that
both
Q.
12.
It
brings
Christ
to
our
remembrance
,
as
his
Death
and
bitter
Sufferings
are
therein
represented
to
us
,
by
the
breaking
of
Bread
,
and
pouring
forth
of
Wine
,
1
Q.
13.
It
is
a
significative
Ordinance
,
not
only
as
it
represents
Christs
sufferings
,
but
the
Believers
union
with
him
as
the
head
,
and
with
each
other
as
members
of
his
body
,
1
10.61
,
17.
Q.
14.
It
is
an
instructive
sign
in
divers
respects
;
namely
,
First
,
As
it
teaches
us
that
Christ
is
the
only
nutritive
bread
by
which
our
Souls
live
,
And
Secondly
,
As
it
instructs
us
that
the
New
Testament
is
now
in
its
full
force
by
the
death
of
Christ
the
Testator
9.16
,
17.
Thus
much
of
the
Author
,
Nature
and
Ends
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
ARe
not
Bread
and
Wine
too
small
and
common
things
to
represent
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
?
Is
not
the
bread
in
the
Sacrament
turned
into
the
very
body
of
Christ
it self
by
For
as
often
as
ye
eat
this
bread
,
But
I
say
unto
you
,
I
will
not
henceforth
drink
of
this
fruit
of
the
vine
,
until
that
day
when
I
drink
it
new
with
you
in
my
Fathers
kingdom
.
What
is
the
first
argument
by
which
Protestants
confute
the
Popish
Doctrine
of
This
do
in
remembrance
of
me
.
What
's
the
second
Argument
And
the
seven
ill-favoured
kine
that
came
up
after
them
,
are
seven
years
of
famine
.
The
seven
stars
are
the
angels
of
the
seven
churches
;
and
the
seven
candlesticks
which
thou
sawest
are
the
seven
churches
.
What
's
the
third
Argument
against
What
's
the
first
absurdity
that
follows
it
?
What
's
the
second
absurdity
of
For
the
invisible
things
of
him
,
from
the
creation
of
the
world
,
are
clearly
seen
,
being
understood
by
the
things
that
are
made
,
even
his
eternal
power
and
godhead
,
Behold
my
hands
and
my
feet
,
that
it
is
I
my self
;
handle
me
and
see
,
What
's
the
third
absurdity
of
What
's
the
fourth
absurdity
of
What
doth
the
breaking
of
this
bread
,
and
pouring
out
of
wine
in
the
Sacrament
signifie
?
For
as
often
as
ye
eat
this
bread
,
and
drink
this
cup
,
ye
do
shew
the
Lords
death
till
he
come
.
What
doth
the
giving
and
taking
of
the
Sacramental
bread
and
wine
signifie
?
Who
are
fit
subjects
to
receive
the
Lords
Supper
?
But
let
a
man
examine
himself
,
and
so
let
him
eat
of
that
bread
,
and
drink
of
that
cup.
For
he
that
eateth
and
drinketh
unworthily
,
eateth
and
drinketh

We

Quest.
98.
WHat
is
Prayer
?
A.
Prayer
is
an
offering
up
of
our
desires
unto
God
for
things
agreeable
to
his
Will
,
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
with
confession
of
our
sins
and
thankful
acknowledgment
of
his
mercies
.
Q.
1.
God
only
is
the
proper
object
of
Prayer
;
it
is
a
part
of
his
Natural
Worship
:
therefore
't
is
peculiarly
his
Honour
and
Prerogative
,
and
none
else
can
hear
and
answer
them
,
but
God
,
Q.
2.
Our
Prayers
are
to
be
directed
to
God
only
through
Christ
,
and
his
Name
,
and
not
by
the
mediation
of
Angels
or
Saints
,
For
the
merit
and
satisfaction
of
Christ
alone
give
success
and
acceptance
to
our
Prayers

Q.

No
Prayer
can
be

to
God

the

it

agreeable
to
his
Will

Q.

No
,
it
is

;
for

must
be
so

That
it
be
sincere

from
the

of
a

person
,

in
an

Arguments
,
And
a
resolute
persistance
in

Q.
9.
God
may
delay
and
suspend
the
answer
of
them
for
a
time
,
22.

&c.
But
sooner
or
latter
,
God
will
alwayes
answer
them
,
either
in
the
very
thing
we
ask
,
1
Or
in
that
which
is
equivalent
or
better

19.
Q.
10.
Yes
,
there
is
sudden
occasional
Prayer
,
which
we
call
ejaculatory
:
Such
was
And
this
is
exceeding
useful
to
maintain
constant
communion
with
God
,
and
keep
the
heart
in
a
spiritual
frame
.
Q.
11.
No
,
stated
Prayer
ought
to
be
in
our
Families
with
those
under
our
charge
;
and
in
our
Closets
betwixt
God
and
us
alone
,
Q.
12.
The
restraint
of
Prayer
is
not
only
a
great
fin
,
but
an
ill
sign
of
a
graceless
heart
.
And
that
which
entails
a
judgment
and
curse
upon
men
,
and
their
Families
,
Q.
13.
That
the
true
reason
why
we
enjoy
not
the
Mercies
we
pray
for
,
is
not
because
God
is
unwilling
to
grant
Mercies
,
but
because
we
either
neglect
Prayer
,
or
miscarry
in
the
manner
of
Prayer

WHat
Rule
hath
God
given
for
our
dir●ction
in
the
Duty
of
Prayer
?
The
whole
Word
of
God
is
of
use
to
direct
us
〈◊〉
Prayer
;
but
the
special
Rule
of
Direction
is
that
form
of
Prayer
,
which
Christ
taught
his
Disciples
,
commonly
called
the
Lords-Prayer
.
Do
men
need
directions
,
rules
and
helps
in
Prayer
?
Likewise
the
spirit
also
helpeth
our
infirmities
:
for
we
know
not
what
we
shall
pray
for
as
we
ought
,
Ye
ask
and
receive
not
,
because
ye
ask
amiss
,
that
ye
may
consume
it
upon
your
lusts
.
When
do
men
mistake
in
the
matter
of
their
Prayer
?
And
when
his
disciples
,
James
and
John
saw
this
,
they
said
,
Lord
,
wilt
thou
that
we
command
fire
to
come
down
from
heaven
,
and
consume
them
,
even
as
Elias
did
?
But
he
turned
and
rebuked
them
,
and
said
,
ye
know
not
what
manner
of
spirit
ye
are
of
.
When
do
men
mistake
in
the
manner
of
Prayer
?
Ye
ask
and
receive
not
,
because
ye
ask
amiss
,
that
ye
may
consume
it
upon
your
lusts
.
And
there
is
none
that
calleth
upon
thy
name
,
that
stirreth
up
himself
to
take
hold
of
thee
,
What
helps
hath
God
afforded
us
to
furnish
us
to
Prayer
both
in
respect
of
the
matter
and
manner
?
Behold
I
was
shapen
in
iniquity
,
and
in
sin
did
my
mother
conceive
me
.
Against
thee
,
thee
only
have
I
sinned
,
and
done
this
evil
in
thy
sight
,
Be
careful
for
nothing
,
but
in
every
thing
by
prayer
and
supplication
with
thanksgiving
,
let
your
request
be
made
known
unto
God
.
Doth
it
afford
us
any
help
or
direction
as
to
the
manner
of
Prayer
also
?
Let
us
draw
near
with
a
tra●
heart
in
full
assurance
of
faith
,
having
our
hearts
sprinkled
from
an
evil
conscience
,
all
our
bodies
washed
pure
water
.
Lord
thou
hast
heard
the
desire
of
the
humble
,
thou
wilt
prepare
their
heart
,
thou
wilt
cause
thine
ear
to
hear
▪
But
let
him
ask
in
faith
,
nothing
wavering
,
The
effectual
fervent
prayer
of
a
righteous
man
availeth
much
.
Are
these
external
rules
and
directions
sufficient
in
themselves
to
enable
us
to
pray
acceptably
?
Likewise
the
Spirit
also
helpeth
our
infirmities
;
for
we
know
not
what
we
should
pray
for
as
we
ought
;
but
the
Spirit
it self
maketh
intercession
for
us
,
But
doth
the
Scripture
only
furnish
us
with
general
rules
of
direction
for
Prayer
?
After
this
manner
therefore
pray
ye
:
Our
Father
which
art
i●
heaven
,
Are
Christians
tyed
by
a
necessity
to
use
that
form
of
words
,
or
was
it
only
intended
for
a
directory
to
them
?
How
doth
it
appear
it
was
not
Christs
intention
,
strictly

us
to
that
very
form
of
words
in
our
Prayers
?

draw
near
to
God
with
all

a
Father

WHat
do

In
the

would
enable
us

to

he
maketh
himself
known

that
he
would
dispose
all
things

there
any
word

the
third
Thing
intended
in
this
Petition
?
One
generation
shall
praise
thy
works
to
another
,
and
shall
declare
thy
mighty
acts
.
I
will
speak
of
the
glorious
honour
of
thy
majesty
;
and
of
thy
wondrous
works
.
And
men
shall
speak
of
the
might
of
thy
terrible
acts
:
and
I
will
declare
thy
greatness
.
Why
must
our
Hearts
be
so
intently
set
upon
the
Sanctification
of
Gods
Name
?
for
of
him
,
and
through
him
,
and
to
him
ar●
all
things
;
to
whom
be
glory
for
ever
,
Amen
.
But
ye
are
a
chosen
generation
,
a
Royal
Priest-hood
,
an
holy
nation
,
a
peculiar
people
,
that
ye
should
shew
forth
the
praises
of
him
,
who
hath
called
you
out
of
darkness
into
his
marvellous
light
.
What
's
the
first
Inference
from
hence
?
As
with
a
sword
in
my
bones
my
enemies
reproach
me
;
while
they
say
dayly
unto
me
,
What
's
the
second
Inference
from
hence
?
Hear
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
ye
that
tremble
at
his
word
:
your
brethren
that
hated
you
,
that
cast
you
out
for
my
names
sake
,
said
,
but
he
shall
appear
to
your
joy
,
and
they
shall
be
ashamed
.
They
shall
put
you
out
of
the
Synagogues
:
yea
,
the
time
cometh
,
that
whosoever
killeth
you
,
will
think
,
that
he
doth
God
service
.
What
is
the
third
Inference
from
hence
?
as
always
so
now
also
Christ
shall
be
magnified
in
my
body
,
whether
it
be
by
life
,
or
by
death
.
What
's
the
last
Inference
hence
And
Nadab
and
Abihu
,
the
Sons
of
Araon
,
took
either
of
them
his
Censer
,
and
put
fire
therein
,
and
put
incense
thereon
,
and
offered
strange
fire
before
the
Lord
,
which
he
commanded
them
not
.
And
there
went
out
fire
from
the
Lord
,
and
devoured
them
,
and
they
died
before
the
Lord
.
Then
Moses
said
unto
Aaron
,
This
is
it
that
the
Lord
spake
,
saying
,
I
will
be
sanctified
in
them
that
come
nigh
me
,
and
before
all
the
people
will
I
be
glorified
.

That
many

really
hate

That

A.
In
the
fourth
Petition
,
which
is
[
Give
us

we
pray
,
that
of
Gods
free

we
may
receive
a
competent
portion
of
the
good
things
of
this
life
;
and
enioy
his
Blessing
with
them
.
Q.
1.
Because
those
concern
immediately
and
generally
Gods
Glory
,
in
the
advancement
of
his
Name
,
Kingdom
and
Will
,
which
ought
to
be
preferred
to
all
our
personal
concerns

Acts

Q.
2.
Not
for
its
worth

but
for
its
order
;
for
we
can
have
no
Spiritual
Blessings
unless
we
have
a
Natural
Being
in
this
Life

Not
Spiritual
Bread
,
or
our
Lord
Christ

(
as
some
)
but
Corporal
and
Temporal
.
Q.
4.
Not
that
only
which
we
call
strictly
B●●ad
,
but
all
the
good
things
of
this
present
Life

Q.
5.
No
,
we
pray
for
conveniencies
for
our
comfort
;
as
well
as
necessaries
for
our
life
.
Q.
6.
No
,
we
pray
for
civil
good
things
for
our
condition
,
that
according
to
our
degree
in
the
World
in
which
God
hath
placed
us
,
we
may
have
a
convenient
allowance
:
Q.
7.
No
,
but
also
for
our
Charge
,
Children
and
Family
;
that
under
and
with
us
they
may
have
the
good
things
of
this
Life

8.
Not
without
God
:
Whatever
we
have
of
these
things
they
are
from
God
;

the
second
cause

instrument
;

our selves

God
gives
us
ability

success
to
get
them

inclined
their
hearts

opened
their
hands
to
bestow
them

9.

merited

all
we
can
do

Because
Bread

one
of
the
most
necessary

Because
we
must
not
ask
delicacies

God

11.
Either
(

a
Natural
day
of
twenty
four
hours

(

the
day
of
our
whole

Q.
12.
Because
God
must
give
us

good
things
of

day
,
or
else
we
cannot
have
them

Q.
13.
(

)
Because
't
is
fit
we
should
be
still
sensible
of
our
dependance
upon
God
.

;
)
Because
we
do
frequently
pray
to
God
,
and
so
exert
our
Graces

and
maintain
communion
with
him
,
and
dayly
render
thanks

favour

well
as
they
that
have
them
not

Not
that
they
may
have
Bread
;
but
that
it
may
be
Bread
to
them

for
except
God
give
his
Blessing

In

pray

God
for
Christs
sake
would
freely
pardon
all
our
Sins

which
we
are
the
rather
encouraged
to
ask
,
because
by
this
grace
we
are
enabled
from
the
heart
to
forgive
others

To

it

Justice

did
merit
our
forgiveness

if
he
did
so
,
we
did
not
so
;
our
sins
cost
him
dear

but
their
pardon
cost
us
nothing

our
pardon
is
perfectly
free

us

though
due
to
Christ

God
gave
