To

Neglecting
to
come
and
attend
on
the
Preaching
of
the
Word
,
both
on
the
LORDS
Day
,
and
on
week
dayes
,
in
these
places
where
such
Exercises

are
on
these

Not
comming
to
the
Preaching
of
the
Word
,
for
the
right
end
,
viz
to
fynd
communion
with
Christ
,
and
a
taste
of
His
goodnes
and
excellencie
,
&
to
be
built
vp
in
the
most
holy
fayth
:
but
eyther
out
of
custome
or
to
eschew
censures
,
or
to
satisfy
&
hold
off
the
challēges
of
a
naturall
conscience
;
or
some
other
by-respect
.
And
not
preparing
the
heart
befor
hand
in
secret
,
to
come
with
Godly
fear
and
reverence
,
humility
,
spiritual
hungring
and
thirsting
after
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
Righteousnes
thereof
,
and
desyring
as
new
born
babes
the
sincere
milk
of
the
Word
,
to
grow
thereby
,
3
That
when
People
are
at
the
preaching
of
the
word
,
besyds
great
carelesnes
,
overlines
sleeping
,
wandring
of
the
heart
,
&
in
advertencie
to
what
is
preached
;
the
Word
is
not
heard
as
an
Ordinance
and
meane
appoynted
of
God
to
work
vpon
,
and
carry
in
grace
and
comfort
vnto
the
heart
,
but
is
only
reguarded
as
other
discourses
proceeding
from
mens
ability
and
parts
,
and
is
accordingly
esteemed
by
the
most
part
,
or
at
most
is
only
made
vse
of
,
as
a
mean
of
informing
the
judgement
.
4
That
in
the
preaching
of
the
Word
,
neyther
doeth
Ministers
speak
the
same
as
the
Oracles
of
God
,
not
remēbring
themselves
to
be
the
ambassadours
of
Christ
,
speaking
in
Gods
stead
:
nor
doeth
people
present
themselves
in
so
immediat
a
way
befor
God
Himself
as
to
receive
the
Word
not
as
the
Word
of
man
,
but
as
the
true
Word
of
God
;
whence
it
commeth
to
pass
that
there
is
litle
trembling
at
the
Word
,
and
so
litle
rejoycing
in
it
.
5
That
people
in
the
hearing
of
the
Word
,
contents
themselves
with
mans
teaching
,
and
doeth
not
in
the
conviction
of
their
own
blindnes
&
vtter
inability
of
themselves
to
perceive
the
things
of
the
Spirit
,
and
of
the
insufficiencie
of
the
outward
means
without
Gods
immediat
work
therewith
vpon
the
heart
;
imploy
Him self
to
teach
them
inwardly
by
His
Spirit
,
joyning
with
the
outward
means
,
according
to
the
promise
of
the
Covenant
.
They
shal
be
al
taught
of
God
:
whence
it
commeth
to
pass
that
there
is
so
much
Preaching
,
and
so
little
profiting
,
so
much
Learning
,
and
so
little
speed
comming
in
the
knowledge
of
GOD.
6
The
not
mixing
of
the
Word
preached
with
Fayth
,
whyle
as
in
the
hearing
thereof
;
even
these
who
seem
to
giue
most
heed
thereunto
do
for
the
most
part
,
rather
imploy
the
judgement
,
to
consider
and
judge
of
the
pertinencie
,
coherence
,
the
way
of
uttering
of
the
doctrine
delivered
;
or
in
a
meer
speculatiue
way
to
apprehend
the
matter
&
trueth
of
what
is
spoken
than
they
do
labour
,
with
the
heart
to
close
with
,
embrace
and
apply
to
themselues
the
Trueth
preached
.
7
No
care
to
lay
up
,
&
hyde
the
words
of
CHRIST
in
the
heart
,
to
remember
the
same
for
use
making
:
But
letting
them
slip
and
run
thorow
;
which
the
Apostle
accounteth
a
neglecting
of
the
Great
Salvation
of
GOD
,
(
HEB.
2.1.3
.
)
Nor
imploying
the
Spirit
to
bring
the
Word
that
hath
been
heard
;
but
forgotten
,
to
remembrance
:
Not
making
conscience
to
conferre
on
the
Word
Preached
,
and
to
whet
it
on
,
upon
an
other
.
Not
taking
payns
,
nor
delight
in
it
,
in
private
,
to
reade
,
and
meditate
on
it
.
2.
IN
relation
to
the
Sacraments
.
And
first
in
general
&
common
:
Not
making
vse
of
them
as
Seals
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
promises
thereof
made
to
us
in
Christ
;
but
laying
al
the
weyght
of
confidence
vpon
them selves
&
being
content
with
the
deed
done
,
which
was
the
ordinary
sin
of
the
Iews
in
the
vse
of
Circumcision
,
&
other
Rits
and
ceremonies
of
the
Law
,
so
often
charged
vpon
them
in
Scripture
.
Then
particularly
.
In
Baptisme
.
1
In
Parents
bringing
their
Children
therevnto
,
eyther
out
of
meer
fashion
and
custome
,
as
meerly
to
have
a
difference
put
between
them
,
and
vnchristned
people
,
or
in
effect
as
vnto
a
meer
ceremonie
:
and
not
from
any
sense
that
they
are
vnclean
from
vnclean
,
born
dead
in
sins
,
and
children
of
wrath
of
themselves
,
defyled
with
original
guilt
and
corruption
,
nor
from
a
desyre
that
they
may
be
spiritually
regenerated
,
incorporated
vnto
Christ
,
to
be
made
partakers
of
the
vertue
of
His
Death
&
Resurrection
,
to
be
washed
from
their
filthines
in
the
blood
of
Christ
,
and
to
get
interest
in
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
and
promises
thereof
,
sealed
vp
vnto
them
.
2
Not
setting
themselves
in
the
administration
of
this
Sacrament
to
consider
&
pryze
the
free
love
and
grace
of
God
,
which
hath
prevented
vs
,
&
our
seed
in
provyding
such
a
fountain
for
sin
&
vncleanes
in
Christ
,
making
such
a
Covenant
with
vs
,
so
well
ordered
in
al
things
,
&
sure
preventing
vs
and
our
seed
with
the
seall
thereof
;
nor
to
apply
the
Covenant
and
the
promises
thereof
for
our selves
and
our
seed
,
and
this
Sacrament
as
the
seall
of
the
same
.
3.
The
great
&
evident
slighting
of
the
administration
of
this
Sacrament
,
while
as
few
in
the
Congregation
joyneth
therin
eyther
for
their
own
edification
,
or
to
hold
vp
the
baptized
to
God
,
that
He
might
bless
His
own
ordinance
to
them
,
and
receive
them
in
amongst
His
Children
in
Christ
:
and
many
with-draweth
themselves
from
the
administration
thereof
,
as
if
it
did
not
concern
them
▪
and
only
the
Minister
and
Presenter
were
to
be
actors
in
it
.
4
Parents
not
making
conscience
,
to
make
known
vnto
their
Children
when
they
come
to
years
of
Capacity
their
Baptism
,
the
ends
and
vse
thereof
,
and
the
obligation
therby
layeth
vpon
them
as
consecrated
to
Christ
.
5
The
not
making
vse
of
this
Sacrament
all
a-long
the
course
of
our
,
lyf
for
renewing
&
strengthening
our
comfort
in
the
Fayth
and
assurance
of
our
Regeneration
&
Adoption
;
and
of
our
interest
in
God
,
as
our
GOD
and
Father
in
CHRIST
:
and
for
strenthening
through
Christ
our
resolutions
&
endeavours
of
Mortification
,
and
newness
of
lyf
.
Which
is
a
great
despysing
of
this
Ordinance
.
In
the
Lords
Supper
,
1.
The
great
profanation
ther
of
,
by
the
comming
and
admitting
there
vnto
:
of
many
gross
Ignorants
,
who
cannot
discern
the
Lords
Body
,
nor
knoweth
how
to
examine
themselves
,
many
profane
Ones
,
Godless
Livers
,
without
the
Worship
of
GOD
,
in
private
,
and
into
many
places
al
sorts
of
persons
promiscuously
without
making
a
difference
between
the
precious
&
the
Vyle
:
whereby
the
Blood
of
Christ
,
is
much
profaned
(
altho
the
constitutions
of
our
Kirk
were
they
well
observed
▪
doth
sufficiently
guard
against
these
evills
)
Which
no
doubt
is
one
of
the
mayn
sins
,
for
which
GOD
hath
beene
provoked
to
suffer
so
much
of
our
blood
to
be
shed
.
See
1
,
Cor.
11.30
.
2.
The
little
or
no
care
or
payns
that
is
taken
for
preparation
to
so
high
and
holy
an
Ordinance
,
wherein
we
are
called
to
the
nearest
and
most
familiar
Communion
with
Christ
,
that
is
:
heere
vpon
earth
:
most
part
contenting
themselves
giving
their
presence
at
a
Preparation
Sermon
,
many
not
making
conscience
of
so
much
as
this
.
Very
few
separating
themselves
,
as
is
needfull
to
examine
themselves
;
that
being
sensible
of
their
Guiltyness
,
Spirituall
inlacks
&c.
They
might
come
with
humble
,
broken
,
and
contrite
Spirits
,
with
Spirituall
hunger
and
thirst
,
for
Christ
Crucified
.
And
sincere
purposes
of
heart
,
to
forsake
their
former
sinfull
courses
,
and
to
renew
their
Covenant
with
GOD
,
in
the
strength
of
CHRISTS
Grace
.
3
The
great
and
lamentable
Blockishness
of
the
most
part
,
in
the
participation
of
this
Ordinance
,
who
may
be
,
have
some
kynd
of
amazement
at
the
Solemnityes
thereof
,
but
doth
no
wyse
therein
exercyse
themselves
in
remembring
the
Lords
Death
,
till
He
come
agayn
to
apply
the
same
to
themselves
:
for
peace
with
GOD
,
and
mortifying
the
Body
of
Sin
,
for
working
deep
Repentance
,
and
Gospell
sorrow
for
Sin
,
and
getting
the
Love
of
Christ
,
more
kindled
in
them
,
and
their
hearts
enlarged
with
greater
thankfulness
towards
Him
,
Who
loved
vs
,
and
gave
Himself
for
vs
.
And
on
the
other
hand
the
great
heartless
sinfull
Dejection
of
many
sensible
Souls
,
who
at
no
tyme
are
readyer
to
be
plunged
in
legall
heavyness
;
&
feeding
as
it
were
on
gall
,
and
Worm-wood
:
then
at
this
Ordinance
,
wherein
they
ought
to
be
most
rejoycing
through
Fayth
,
on
the
propitiation
in
the
Death
of
Christ
,
so
familiarly
set
foorth
therein
to
them
.
4
That
the
tyme
and
occasion
of
this
Sacrament
,
is
vsed
by
the
most
part
,
only
for
some
outward
restraint
of
grosser
sins
,
for
a
day
or
two
before
and
after
;
but
all
such
goodnes
being
as
a
morning
clowd
,
no
constancie
nor
reall
reformation
:
but
presently
turning
to
wonted
,
naturall
,
worldly
,
and
carnall
courses
;
Not-with-standing
renewed
remembring
of
the
Death
of
CHRIST
,
and
Profession
of
renewing
Covnants
with
GOD.
3.
IN
Relation
,
To
the
Ordinance
of
Discipline
:
1.
Which
partiality
in
the
administration
of
thereof
,
with
respect
of
persons
,
and
according
to
affection
;
which
appeareth
in
that
,
whyle
as
Offences
and
Scandalles
,
in
meaner
persons
,
are
taken
notice
of
,
challenged
and
censured
:
There
is
not
the
lyke
Christian-Freedom
,
Faythfulness
and
Zeall
used
,
towards
such
as
are
more
eminent
for
Wealth
,
Place
,
or
Dignitie
,
in
the
World
.
2
Want
of
a
Spirit
of
Meekness
,
sometymes
in
the
administration
thereof
;
whereby
men
,
if
GOD
peradventure
would
give
them
Repentance
,
might
bee
recovered
out
of
the
Snare
of
Satan
.
And
,
on
the
other
hand
,
want
of
Zeall
often
tymes
,
to
saue
others
with
fear
,
plucking
them
out
of
the
Fyre
.
3
Much
Vilifying
,
Contemning
of
the
Censures
&
Exercise
of
Discipline
:
Yea
,
hateing
thereof
,
and
the
Officers
of
the
Kirk
for
it
.
4
Not
making
use
of
it
,
as
a
Spirituall
Medicine
,
and
Means
of
Salvation
:
but
as
a
meer
Punishment
,
which
as
it
is
in
it selff
a
miss-apprehension
and
abuse
of
this
Ordinance
:
So
is
(
no
doubt
,
)
the
cause
of
so
much
impatience
and
indignation
agaynst
it
in
people
;
and
of
so
much
inaequality
,
and
mixture
of
selfish
affection
,
in
the
administration
thereof
.
5
The
great
Formality
,
that
is
every
where
,
in
the
vse
thereof
,
whyle
as
,
so
bee
it
,
that
persons
under
censure
continue
out
their
set
tyme
and
dayes
of
censure
,
little
care
or
respect
is
had
of
the
effects
for
which
it
was
instituted
:
To
wit
,
Humiliation
of
hearr
,
and
Godly
sorrow
,
bringing
foorth
Repentance
,
not
to
bee
repented
of
;
which
maketh
the
administration
thereof
,
to
look
too
lyke
the
way
of
Popish
Pennance
.
4.
IN
Relation
to
Prayer
:
1.
Great
neglect
thereof
by
most
part
of
persons
and
families
throughout
the
Land
in
private
and
secret
.
2
Many
more
imminent
persons
in
the
World
,
accounting
the
performance
thereof
in
their
families
,
(
altho
this
bee
incumbent
to
them
,
by
their
Place
and
Station
,
)
a
disparidgement
;
and
therefore
turning
it
over
vpon
others
,
as
a
Service
bee
low
them
.
3
In
the
publick
Prayers
of
the
Kirk
,
Peoples
lying
by
,
from
joyning
therein
,
al
along
with
their
Spirits
,
which
should
bee
stryving
together
with
the
Minister
;
either
mutering
words
of
their
own
;
or
taking
liberty
to
themselues
,
to
bee
ydle
in
the
work
,
and
raving
in
their
thoughts
:
As
if
the
Minister
only
were
to
bee
an
Actor
in
that
Service
.
4
Not
using
this
Ordinance
,
as
a
mean
of
communion
with
GOD
,
and
of
obtayning
blessings
from
Him
:
But
using
it
meerly
as
a
Duety
;
and
many
as
a
matter
of
meer
task
.
Whereof
many
may
bee
convinced
by
this
;
That
they
do
not
make
conscience
,
nor
setteth
themselues
to
obserue
what
commeth
of
their
Prayers
;
how
they
are
taken
off
their
hand
,
what
speed
they
haue
come
,
and
what
answer
they
get
.
5
The
little
care
that
is
had
either
by
Ministers
,
or
others
,
to
pray
in
the
Spirit
;
or
to
imploy
the
Spirit
of
Grace
,
and
Supplication
for
this
Service
:
The
most
part
in
their
performāces
thereof
,
too
evidently
acting
meerly
their
own
memory
,
invention
,
wit
,
&c.
And
that
often
tymes
with
apparent
affectation
.
5.
RElating
more
immediatelye
to
CHRIST
Himself
,
and
the
Free
Grace
of
GOD
in
Him
,
which
is
the
Matter
and
Object
of
the
Gospell
,
as
:
1
Gross
ignorance
in
the
most
part
,
and
great
short
comeing
of
the
best
in
the
knowledge
of
Iesus
Christ
His
Person
,
offices
,
His
blessings
and
benefits
,
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
;
established
in
Him
and
the
way
of
making
vse
of
Christ
and
the
covenant
of
grace
.
2
Undervaluing
and
misprysing
of
Christ
,
communion
with
Him
,
&
His
spiritual
graces
and
blessings
.
Which
appears
most
evidently
,
by
the
great
neglect
of
the
vse
of
these
means
and
exercyses
,
publick
,
privat
&
secret
wherein
He
offereth
Himself
to
be
sought
&
found
:
the
great
wearying
of
them
:
great
willingnes
and
readines
to
bestow
tyme
and
payns
vpon
things
worldly
even
vanityes
&
trifls
than
on
these
;
preferring
the
interests
of
creatures
to
the
interests
of
Christ
;
and
not
giving
Him
the
preheminence
above
al
:
by
the
readines
which
appears
in
people
in
tymes
of
tryall
to
cōply
with
sinful
courses
;
to
the
prejudice
of
Christs
causs
and
the
hazarding
of
their
own
peace
with
God
,
for
maintayning
their
case
;
temporary
safety
and
worldly
commodities
rather
then
to
deny
themselves
:
take
vp
their
cross
and
follow
Him
.
3

confyde

as

heartless
fears

miss-be-lieff

I
carring
to

to
make
vse
of
the
promises
,
not
rejoicing
in
Christ

His
propitiation
with
humility
,
when
there
is
a
discovery
,
challenges
and
apprehensions
of
want
,
short
comming

failing
of
duetyes

which
in
effect
is
in
a
degree
,

in
part
an
establishing

Not

for

acting

In

doeth
neglect
prayer
altogether
albeit
they
have
some
course
of
performancce
of
this
duety

yet
knoweth
not

it
is
to
put
their

vp
to

thorow

tho

perhaps
name
His

doth
as

yet

turning
the

vnto

In
relation
to
the
operations
of
the
Spirit
wherein
the
Gospel
is
the
Ministration
,
&
maketh
it
effectuall
,
as
:
1
Profane
mocking
,
miscalling
,
&
mis-interpreting
the
tender
&
acurat
wolking
of
the
Godly
in
the
wayes
of
God
;
as
vnnecessary
and
prowd
precyseness
:
And
their
Spirituall
exercyses
,
as
fantastickness
,
melancholy
,
or
madness
.
Which
is
a
horrible
sin
,
sib
to
that
which
is
vnpardonable
:
yet
,
very
frequent
amongst
carnall
and
naturall
people
.
2
The
meer
naturall
and
morall
way
of
living
,
in
a
civill
honesty
,
and
sitting
down
contented
therewith
,
of
the
most
part
of
people
not
labouring
in
their
conversation
,
to
walk
after
the
Spirit
:
i.
e.
upon
Spirituall
Principles
,
according
to
the
Spirituall
Rule
,
(
of
Gods
revealed
Will
in
His
Word
,
)
nor
for
Spiritual
ends
the
Honour
of
God
,
Glory
,
and
immortality
.

Not
observing
and
yeelding
vnto
the
knockings
of
the
Spirit
,
whereby
Christ
maketh
tender
to
come
in
to
hearts
,
that
He
may
sup
with
them
,
and
they
with
Him
:
resisting
and
quenching
His
motions
,
whereby
He
stirreth
vp
to
Duetyes
stiffling
or
putting
by
His
challenges
,
whether
in
publick
or
secret
,
which
tendeth
to
repentance
,
humiliation
,
or
with-draw-ing
from
sin
;
not
being
tender
of
His
presence
and
consolations
,
to
entertayn
the
same
;
but
grieving
Him
,
by
mispryzing
them
,
refusing
them
,
careless
walking
,
in
not
attending
on
His
direction
and
guiding
,
in
giving
way
to
known
sinfull
thoughts
,
and
lustings
in
a
continued
tract
,
altho
not
growing
vp
to
a
full
accomplishing
of
them
;
and
sometymes
in
giving
way
even
to
grosser
out-breakings
,
and
in
not
watching
agaynst
predominant
corruptions
,
whereof
even
the
best
are
much
guilty
.

Not
delighting

company

exercises
.
7
Of
Ministers
,
in
relation
to
their
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
as
:
1
Many
not
labouring
to
sett
foorth
the
Excellency
of
Christ
in
His
Person
,
Offices
,
and
the
vnsearchable
Riches
of
His
Grace
,
the
new
Covenant
,
and
the
way
of
living
by
Fayth
in
Him
:
nor
making
this
the
mayn
and
chief
Theme
,
and
matter
of
their
preaching
,
as
did
the
Apostle
,
1.
Cor.
3.2
.
2.
Cor.
4.5
.
Coloss.
1.28
.
Nor
preaching
other
things
with
a
relation
to
Christ
;
To
wit
,
Not
preaching
convictions
,
reprooffs
,
discoveries
of
sin
,
and
of
short
commings
in
Duetyes
,
and
threatnings
,
to
leade
to
Christ
,
to
pryze
Him
the
more
highly
,
and
to
embrace
Him
the
more
earnestlie
;
especially
for
justification
;
and
pressing
Duetyes
,
in
a
meer
legall
way
;
not
urging
them
,
as
by
the
authority
of
Gods
Commandements
;
so
from
the
love
of
Christ
,
&
the
grace
of
the
Gospell
,
nor
poynting
and
directing
people
to
their
furniture
for
them
in
Christ
:
often
tymes
craving
hard
,
but
giving
nothing
wherwith
to
pay
.
2
What
they
preach
of
Christ
,
and
the
matters
of
the
Gospell
,
not
preaching
the
same
in
a
Gospell
way
whereof
.
See
1.
Cor.
3.
from
the
beginning
at
length
.
3
Not
commending
as
they
ought
,
neither
their
own
work
,
whether
of
meditation
,
or
delyverie
,
nor
their
hearts
to
Christ
,
that
He
might
give
the
increass
:
but
going
about
the
work
,
either
altogether
in
their
own
strength
,
or
much
that
way
.
4
Often
tymes
not
speaking
,
because
they
believe
,
and
many
not
seeking
for
communion
with
Christ
,
in
their
own
personall
estate
;
and
to
feele
the
power
of
the
Word
,
vpon
their
own
hearts
:
that
they
might
speak
so
.
These
branches
of
contemning
and
abusing
of
the
Gospell
,
are
thought
fitt
for
the
better
Information
of
all
to
bee
held
foorth
at
this
tyme
,
as
beeing
most
obvious
,
recommending
with
all
to
Ministers
,
to
apply
themselues
,
to
make
a
more
full
and
particular
discovery
thereof
;
as
is
not
doubted
,
but
they
will
do
,
according
to
their
wisdom
and
vnderstanding
,
in
the
Gospell
;
and
the
experience
they
have
by
observation
of
their
own
hearts
,
and
of
the
wayes
and
consciences
of
people
.
It
is
also
found
needfull
and
appoynted
,
that
in
reguard
it
is
not
one
or
two
,
but
many
provocations
of
the
people
of
God
in
this
Land
.
which
have
drawn
on
the
present
sad
calamities
and
judgements
:
and
that
the
servants
of
God
,
tho
they
have
condescended
vpon
many
sinnes
of
the
King
and
his
Family
of
Iudicatories
and
of
the
people
as
vndoubted
Causes
thereof
:
yet
are
perswaded
,
that
there
is
need
of
a
further
discovery
.
Therfore
vpon
the
foresayd
day
of
Humiliation
,
&
at
other
tymes
both
in
publick
and
private
earnest
supplications
to
be
made
to
God
,
for
light
and
unanimity
to
His
servants
in
this
matter
;
that
the
causes
of
Gods
wrath
being
more
fully
and
throughly
seen
;
and
the
hearts
of
al
humbled
accordingly
befor
God
,
wee
may
bee
yet
sett
in
a
Way
to
fynd
the
Lords
Mercy
in
due
tyme.
