The
truth
is
,
the
of
the
Ministerial

are
(
where
't
is
conscientiously
discharged

and
there
are
so
many

This
consideration
hath
drawn
me
often
to
think
with
my self
by
what
means
I
might
best
promote
your
everlasting
welfare
.
And
after
many
serious
thoughts
,
I
have
judged
it
exceeding
expedient
for
your
benefit
,
to
draw
up
a
discourse
of

to
give
to
every

you
of

And
I
blesse
God
that
hath
put
it
into
my
heart
to
set
about
it
,
and
hath
enabled
me
to
perform
it
.
'T
was
your
benefit
,
and
the
winning
of
your
souls
to
Christ
that
was
the
to
this
undertaking
.
And
if
that
great
businesse
(
through
the
blessing
of
God
)
may
be
any
way
advanced
thereby
,
I
shall
never
repent
of
my
pains
,
but
shall
very
much
rejoyce
that
the
Lord
hath
enabled
me
(
in
any
measure
)
to
be
serviceable
to
you
in
the
furthering
of
your
salvation
.
And
that
you
may
the
better
know

to
make

of

I
shall
acquaint
you

to

acquainted
with

't

Thy
Thoughts
Thy
Affections
Thy
Words
Thy
Actions
Six
things
thou
must

against
;
Namely
,
Against
those
sins
thou
art
most
inclined
to
by
temper
,
and

.
Against
the

thou

,
by

Against

thing

For

;
to

;

to

Jude v. 3. Beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation ; it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you , that ye should earnestly contend for the Faith which was once delivered unto the Saints .
V. 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares , who were before of old ordained to this condemnation , ungodly men , turning the Grace of our God into lasciviousnesse , and denying the only Lord God , and our Lord Jesus Christ .
2 Pet. 2.1 . But there were false Prophets also among the people , even as there shall be false Teachers among you , who privily shall bring in damnable Heresies , even denying the Lord that bought them , and bring upon themselves swift destruction .
V. 2. And many shall follow their pernicious waies , by reason of whom , the way of truth shall be evil spoken of .
V. 3. And through Covetousnesse shall they with feigned words make marchandise of you ; whose judgment now of a long time lingreth not , and their damnation slumbreth not .
1 Tim. 4.1 . Now the Spirit speaketh expresly that in the latter times some shall depart from the Faith , giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils .
V. 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisie , having their Consciences seared with a hot Iron .
2 Tim 2.17 . And their word will eat as doth a Canker , of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus .
V. 18. Who concerning the truth have erred , saying the Resurrection is past already ; and overthrow the Faith of some .
2 Tim. 4.3 . For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine ; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves Teachers , having itching eares .
V. 4. And they shall turn away their eares from the truth , and shall be turned unto fables .
Acts 20.29 . For I know this , that after my departure shall grievous wolves enter in among you , not sparing the Flock .
V. 30. Also of your own selves shall men arise , speaking perverse things , to draw away disciples after them .
2 Tim. 3.6 . Of this sort are they which creep into houses , and lead captive silly women , laden with sins , led away with divers lusts .
V. 7. Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth .
V. 8. Now as Jannes & Jambres withstood Moses , so do these also resist the truth , men of corrupt minds , reprobate concerning the Faith .
V. 13. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse , deceiving , and being deceived .
Mat. 7.15 . Beware of false Prophets which come to you in sheepes clothing , but inwardly they are ravening wolves .
V. 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits .
Mat. 24.11 . Many false Prophets shall arise , and shall deceive many .

the

of

hath
there
usually
most
flourished
,
where
the
Lords
day
hath
been
most
conscientiously
observed
.
And
many
direful
judgments
have
befallen
the
violators
and
prophaners
of
it
.
Gen. 2.2 . And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made , and he rested on the seventh day from all the work which he had made .
V. 3. And God blessed the seventh day , and sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made .

Nehem. 13.19 . And it came to passe , that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath , I commanded that the gates should be shut , and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath , and some of my servants set I at the gates , that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day .
Isa. 58.13 . If thou turn away thy feet from the Sabbath , from doing thy pleasure on my holy day , and call the Sabbath a delight , the holy of the Lord , honourable , and shalt honour him , not doing thine own waies , nor finding thine own pleasure , nor speaking thine own words .
Luke 23.54 . And that day was the preparation , and the Sabbath drew on ,
V. 56. And they returned , and prepared spices , and ointments , and rested the Sabbath day , according to the Commandement .
Exod. 23.12 . Six daies shalt thou do thy work , and on the seventh day thou shalt rest , that thine Oxe and thine Asse may rest , and the son of thine hand-maid and the stranger shall be refreshed .
Ezek. 22.26 . Her Priests have violated my Law , and have prophaned mine holy things , they have put no difference between the holy and prophane , neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean , and have hid their eies from my Sabbaths , and I am prophaned among them .
Ezek. 23.38 . Moreover this they have done unme , they have defiled my Sanctuary in the same day , and have prophaned my Sabbaths .
Amos 8.4 . Saying , when will the New Moon be gone , that we may sell corn ? and the Sabbath that we may set forth wheat , &c.
Lam. 1.7 . Jerusalem remembred in the daies of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the daies of old , when her people fell into the hand of the enemy , and none did help her , the adversaries saw her , and did mock at her Sabbaths .
Ezek. 20.20 . Hallow my Sabbaths , and they shall be a sign between me and you , that ye may know that I am the Lord your God .
Isa. 56.2 . Blessed is the man that doth this , and the son of man that layeth hold on it , that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it , and keepeth his hand from doing evil .
V. 4. For thus saith the Lord unto the Eunuches that keep my Sabbaths , and chuse the things that please me , and take hold of my Covenant .
V. 6. Also the sons of the stranger that joyn themselves to the Lord , to serve him , and to love the Name of the Lord , to be his servants , every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it , and taketh hold of my Covenant .
V. 7. Even them will I bring to my holy Mountain , and make them joyful in my house of prayer : their burnt Offerings and their Sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine Altar : for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people .
Mark 2.27 . And he said unto them , the Sabbath was made for man , and not man for the Sabbath .
V. 28. Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath .
Psal. 92. Title . A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath day .
Mat. 5.17 . Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets , I am not come to destroy , but to fulfill .

Rev. 1.10 . I was in the Spirit on the Lords day .
Psal. 118.24 . This is the day which the Lord hath made , we will rejoyce and be glad in it .

Luke 8.18 . Take heed therefore how ye hear .
Eccles. 5.1 . Keep thy foot when thou goest to the House of God , and be more ready to hear , than to give the sacrifice of fools ; for they consider not that they do evil .
Rom. 10.14 . How then shall they call on him , in whom they have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him , of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ?
V. 15. And how shall they preach , except they be sent ? as it is written , How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace , and bring glad tidings of good things ?
Jam. 1.18 . Of his own will begat he us , with the Word of Truth , that we should be a kind of first fruits of his Creatures .
1 Pet. 1.23 . Being born again , not of corruptible seed , but of incorruptible , by the Word of God , which liveth and abideth for ever .
Jam. 1.21 . Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse , and superfluity of naughtinesse , and receive with meekness the ingrafted Word which is able to save your souls .
V. 22. But be ye doers of the Word , and not hearers only , deceiving your own selves .
V. 23. For if any man be a hearer of the Word , and not a doer , he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glasse ,
V. 24. For he beholdeth himself , and goeth his way , and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was .

1 Pet. 2.1 . Wherefore laying aside all malice , and all guile , and hypocrisie , and envies , and evil speakings .
V. 2. As new born babes , desire the sincere milk of the Word , that ye may grow thereby .
John 8.47 . He that is of God , heareth Gods Words , ye therefore hear them not , because ye are not of God .
1 Cor. 2.14 . But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God , for they are foolishnesse to him , neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned .
Rev. 3.20 . Behold I stand at the door and knock , if any man hear my voice , and open the door , I will come in to him , and sup with him , and he with me .
Prov. 2.3 . Yea , if thou criest after knowledge , and liftest up thy voice for understanding .
V. 5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord , and find the knowledge of God .
Mat. 13.3 . The parable of the sower , and the four sorts of ground .
Luke 8.5 . The parable of the sower , and the four sorts of ground .
Mat. 13.14 . And in them is fulfilled the Prophesie of Esaias , which saith , by hearing , ye shall hear , and shall not understand ; and seeing , ye shall see , and shall not perceive .
V. 15. For this peoples heart is waxed grosse , and their ears are dull of hearing , and their eies they have closed , lest at any time they should see with their eies , and hear with their ears , and should understand with their heart , and should be converted , and I should heal them .
V. 16. But blessed are your eies , for they see , and your ears , for they hear .
1. Thes. 2.13 . For this cause also thank we God without ceasing , because when ye received the Word of God , which ye heard of us , ye recieved it not as the Word of men , but ( as it is in truth ) the Word of God , which effectually worketh also in you that believe .
Luke 10.16 . He that heareth you , heareth me ; and he that despiseth you , despiseth me , and he that despiseth me , despiseth him that sent me .
1 Sam. 8.7 . And the Lord said unto Samuel , they have not rejected thee , but they have rejected me , that I should not reign over them .

V. 9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation , and a snare , and into many foolish and hurtful lusts , which drown men in destruction and perdition .
V. 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil , which while some coveted after , they have erred from the Faith , and pierced themselves through with many sorrowes .
1 Thes. 4.6 . Let no man go beyond , or defraud his brother in any matter , because that the Lord is the avenger of all such , as we also have forewarned you , and testified .
Eph. 5.5 . For this ye know , that no whoremonger , nor unclean person , nor covetous man who is an Idolater , hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ , and of God .
Lev. 25.14 . And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour or buyest ought of thy neighbours hand , ye shall not oppresse one another .
Ezek. 33.15 . If the wicked restore the pledge , give again that he hath robbed , walk in the Statutes of life without committing iniquity , he shall surely live , he shall not die .
Numb. 5.6 . Speak unto the Children of Israel , when a man or woman shall commit any sin , that men commit , to do a trespass against the Lord , and that person be guilty ,
V. 7. Then they shall confesse their sin which they have done , and he shall recompense his trespasse with the principal thereof , & add unto it the fifth part thereof , and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed
Exod. 22.2 . If a thief be found breaking up , and be smitten that he die , there shall no blood be shed for him .
V. 3. If the Sun be risen upon him , there shall be blood shed for him ; for he should make full restitution : If he have nothing , then he shall be sold for his theft .

V. 3. Whose adorning , let it not be that outward adorning , of plaiting the hair , and of wearing of Gold , or of putting on of apparel .

V. 12. That ye would walk worthy of God , who hath called you unto his Kingdom & Glory .
V. 13. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing , because when ye received the Word of God , which ye heard of us , ye received it not as the Word of men , but ( as it is in truth ) the Word of God , which effectually worketh also in you that beleeve .

O
all
ye
that
are
poor
in
this
world
,
Your
outward
condition
in
this
life
,
(
't
is
confess'd
)
is
mean
and
poor
,
and
possibly
you
cannot
expect
it
will
be
much
mended
;
yet
lift
up
your
hearts
,
and
comfort
your selves
with
this
consideration
,
you
are
as
capable
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
and
the
Glory
of
the
world
to
come
,
as
any
others
;
if
you
(
through
your
own
folly
and
negligence
)
be
not
wanting
to
your selves
.
Here
(
possibly
)
with
all
your
labour
,
you
cannot
raise
your selves
to
any
considerable
estates
.
He
would
be
a
welcome
man
unto
you
,
that
could
direct
you
how
in
an
honest
and
just
way
,
by
using
due
care
and
industry
,
you
might
attain
a
hundred
pounds
a
year
,
How
diligently
would
you
listen
to
his
advice
,
and
how
earnestly
and
punctually
observe
his
Directions
?
Now
therefore
come
on
,
and
consider
seriously
,
whether
it
will
not
be
an
extream
folly
and
madnesse
in
you
(
having
so
golden
an
opportunity
in
your
hands
of
attaining
(
not
sosmal
a
matter
as
a
hundred
pounds
a
year
)
but
a
Kingdom
,
a
glorious
and
never-fading
Kingdom
)
to
continue
in
your
ignorance
,
stubbornnesse
,
ungodlinesse
,
slighting
the
Directions
that
are
given
you
for
the
attaining
thereof
,
and
wilfully
neglecting
and
disregarding
the
means
of
Grace
.
And
so
,
after
you
have
lived
a
poor
life
here
,
to
be
everlastingly
miserable
hereafter
:
From
a
poor
Cottage
,
to
go
down
to
a
dungeon
of
darknesse
,
to
a
lake
of
fire
and
brimstone
,
there
to
be
tormented
with
the
Devil
and
his
Angels
for
ever
.
You
think
(
may
be
)
because
you
are
poor
,
and
not
book
learn'd
,
that
God
will
require
little
of
you
:
But
do
not
flatter
and
delude
your selves
;
God
will
require
of
you
according
to
the
means
of
Grace
he
affords
you
.
Though
you
are
ignorant
,
would
not
your
Minister
instruct
you
?
Or
have
you
no
neighbours
that
you
may
ask
,
and
learn
the
way
of
Salvation
from
?
Do
you
think
you
are
exempted
from
seeking
after
knowledg
?
from
Family
duties
,
from
a
conscionable
&
constant
attendance
on
the
publick
Ordinances
?
Do
ye
think
it
will
be
a
sufficient
excuse
,
when
you
come
to
stand
upon
your
Trial
at
Gods
Tribunal
,
to
plead
,
you
wanted
clothes
,
and
therefore
could
not
come
to
the
publick
Ordinances
;
when
't
is
well
known
you
can
dresse
your selves
in
a
tollerably
decent
manner
(
at
any
time
)
to
go
to
a
dinner
?
There
is
an
absolute
necessity
you
must
be
instructed
,
and
get
knowledge
in
the
things
that
concern
your
Salvation
,
or
you
will
die
in
your
sins
.
And
believe
it
,
you
had
better
die
in
a
ditch
,
than
die
in
your
sins
.
Were
you
sufficiently
sensible
of
the
great
and
weighty
concernments
of
your
soules
,
you
would
wrestle
against
all
difficulties
,
and
seek
after
knowledge
with
all
seriousness
.
And
if
you
would
set
your selves
in
good
earnest
to
it
,
you
might
quickly
attain
much
more
than
you
can
imagine
;
you
might
soon
grow
rich
in
knowledge
and
Grace
:
Though
you
are
poor
here
,
you
might
be
heirs
of
Heaven
,
and
when
you
die
,
with
be
received
into
bosom
.
Oh
therefore
bestir
your selves
!
You
labour
hard
to
get
a
little
money
here
;
Oh
take
some
pains
to
get
a
Kingdom
that
is
offered
to
you
on
very
fair
terms
.
Labour
to
be
sensible
of
your
spiritual
poverty
,
of
the
vilenesse
of
your
natural
condition
,
and
the
manifold
sins
of
your
life
;
Seek
for
help
from
Christ
,
(
where
help
Give
up
your
soules
to
him
,
and
beg
of
him
pardon
Receive
him
for
your
Lord
,
as
well
as
your
Saviour
;
beg
his
Spirit
to
sanctifie
you
,
and
be
willing
to
live
in
obedience
to
his
Laws
and
Precepts
.
And
if
you
be
once
thus
united
unto
him
,
being
rich
in
Faith
and
the
fruits
thereof
,
you
are
heirs
of
the
Kingdom
,
even
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
and
shall
shortly
enter
into
your
inheritance
gloriously
and
triumphantly
:
Oh
therefore
though
you
are
poor
in
this
world
,
yet
labour
to
be
spiritually
rich
:
Mind
not
only
the
present
,
but
secure
your
future
state
.
And
not
only
look
to
your selves
,
but
to
your
children
also
:
Oh
let
not
them
be
bred
up
in
ignorance
and
prophannesse
.
One
main
reason
of
the
great
blindnesse
and
irreligion
that
is
among
poor
people
,
is
,
the
cannot
read
;
neither
do
many
of
them
take
any
care
their
children
should
learn
.
They
had
rather
they
should
earn
a
penny
,
than
spend
two
or
three
hours
in
a
day
to
get
that
skill
.
If
there
were
a
book
extant
,
and
ordinarily
to
be
had
as
the
Bible
is
,
which
men
did
generally
beleeve
to
contain
a
plain
and
easie
way
for
all
men
to
become
rich
,
and
to
live
in
health
,
and
pleasure
,
and
this
worlds
happiness
,
Can
it
be
imagined
that
the
poorest
people
would
not
learn
to
read
it
?
or
would
neglect
to
study
it
?
Whatever
paines
it
cost
,
or
difficulties
it
put
them
to
,
be
sure
they
would
not
fail
herein
.
How
is
it
then
,
that
so
many
that
have
the
name
of
Christians
,
can
be
content
that
both
themselves
and
their
children
should
be
unable
to
read
the
Scriptures
,
and
so
commonly
remain
as
ignorant
of
the
things
of
God
,

V. 25. But Abraham said , Son , remember that thou in thy life time receivedst thy good things , and likewise Lazarus evil things , but now he is comforted , and thou art tormented .
V. 27. Then he said I pray thee therefore Father , that thou wouldst send him to my Fathers house .
V. 28. For I have five Brethren , that he may testifie unto them , lest they also come unto this place of torment .
Matth. 16.26 . For what is a man profited , if he shall gain the whole world , and lose his soul ? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul .
