THE
FIRST
PART
OF
THE
DIRECTIONS
Shews
how
Private
Christians
,
Learned
or
Vnlearned
,
are
to
serve
God
in
all
the
parts
of
his
Worship
both
in
private
and
in
publike
:
which
contains
in
it
five
Generall
Directions
as
followeth
.
The
first
generall
Direction
shews
,
What
things
you
are
to
know
before
you
can
perform
any
acceptable
service
unto
God
.
FIrst
You
are
to
know
and
believe
these
five
principles
of
divinity
,
You
are
to
know
five
divine
truths
before
you
can
rightly
call
upon
God
.
before
you
can
expect
upon
good
grounds
to
receive
any
thing
from
the
Lord
,
that
you
wait
upon
him
for
,
in
prayer
or
any
other
duty
;
Rom.
10.14
.
Heb
.
11.6
.
As
first
,
That
there
is
a
God
,
which
is
an
eternall
spirit
,
and
but
one
in
essence
,
yet
three
in
persons
,
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
;
Secondly
,
That
this
God
made
you
in
Adam
righteous
,
after
his
own
Image
,
and
so
in
a
blessed
condition
.
Thirdly
,
That
you
sinned
in
Adam
,
and
so
lost
the
Image
of
God
,
and
became
subject
to
curse
and
condemnation
.
Fourthly
,
That
God
hath
not
left
you
,
in
that
cursed
sinfull
condition
you
are
fallen
into
,
but
hath
out
of
his
meer
love
given
Christ
to
be
made
a
curse
,
The
proofs
of
the
six
first
answers
in
the
Catechisme
proves
these
five
Truths
.
to
free
you
from
that
curse
you
have
deserved
,
by
the
breach
of
the
Law
.
Fifthly
,
That
when
God
draws
you
to
come
to
him
by
his
Christ
for
salvation
,
with
an
humble
acknowledgement
that
you
have
sinned
,
and
it
profits
you
not
,
and
with
a
resolution
to
live
to
him
,
that
then
you
may
,
and
ought
to
come
boldly
to
him
,
through
Christ
,
as
to
your
heavenly
Father
in
Christ
with
confidence
to
receive
from
him
,
what
you
ask
of
him
for
Christs
sake
,
that
is
according
to
his
will

You
are
to
endeavour
to
know
other
particulars
that
you
migh●
sanctifie
God
in
your
drawing
nigh
unto
him
.
Nevertheles
use
all
diligence
to
know
all
such
things
,
as
may
further
you
to
sanctify
God
in
your
drawing
nigh
unto
him
,
in
the
dutyes
of
his
worship
,
As
first
what
God
is
,
not
only
in
his
nature
,
and
in
the
Trinity
of
persons
:
but
also
in
all
his
holy
attributes
,

.

.
that
you
may
alwaies
act
your
graces
upon
him
by
them
,
and
carry
your self
towards
him
sutably
unto
them
,
in
your
worshipping
of
him
;
Secondly
,
who
,
and
what
you
are
,
that
you
should
have
liberty
to
serve
God
,
to
wit
,
sinfull
dust
and
ashes
,
Gen.
18.27
.
in
your
best
estate
,
as
you
are
in
your self
;
Thirdly
,
what
the
worship
of
God
is
,
namely
a
tendering
up
unto
God
,
by
Jesus
Christ
,
that
honour
,
homage
,
and
respect
,
that
is
due
from
the
creature
unto
the
Creatour
;

By
which
discription
you
may
know
what
duties
in
these
following
directions
,
are
parts
of
gods
worship
(
for
some
of
the
duties
that
I
have
directed
you
in
,
are
not
parts
,
but
furtherances
and
helps
to
Gods
worship
)
To
wit
,
Prayer
,
hearing
of
the
word
,
Note
these
things
about
the
worship
of
God
.
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
,
and
that
in
a
speciall
manner
,
because
honour
is
immediatly
tendered
unto
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
when
these
duties
are
rightly
performed
;
Singing
of
Psalms
also
is
a
part
of
gods
worship
,
in
that
,
praise
and
glory
is
thereby
immediatly
given
unto
God
.
Ps.
115.1
.
Eph.
5.19
,
10
And
when
you
perform
any
of
these
holy
dutyes
aright
,
then
you
may
be
said
to
worship
God
;
yea
,
when
you
read
the
word
in
private
,
or
meditate
upon
it
,
or
talk
with
others
about
it
,
or
when
you
instruct
others
in
it
,
by
way
of
Catechizing
,
or
examination
or
the
like
;
you
worship
God
so
far
as
you
do
depend
upon
him
for
such
grace
and
mercy
for
your self
or
others
,
through
these
duties
,
as
these
duties
,
creatures
,
or
ordinances
,
you
have
to
deal
with
,
are
not
able
of
themselves
to
convey
to
you
;
Furthermore
,
when
you
love
God
,
beleeve
in
him
,
fear
him
,
rejoyce
in
him
,
obey
him
,
or
perform
any
duty
to
him
,
or
for
his
sake
,
unto
any
of
mankind
,
whether
they
be
meer
naturall
creatures
,
or
Christians
by
name
,
or
in
deed
or
in
truth
:
Then
you
worship
God
,
so
far
as
you
honour
God
in
them
,
and
rely
upon
him
for
grace
,
to
do
or
receive
some
good
by
these
duties
that
tend
unto
his
glory
.

Fourthly
,
The
nature
of
the
duties
you
are
to
perform
,
that
you
may
accordingly
prepare
for
them
;
Though
all
duties
be
little
and
weak
in
themselves
,
yet
they
are
great
and
weighty
as
they
are
means
appointed
of
God
,
through
and
by
which
we
are
to
receive
the
choicest
mercies
,
that
ever
God
bestowed
upon
his
creatur●s
;
as
prayer
by
Gods
appointment
is
the
great
ordinance
of
God
,
whereby
we
have
communion
with
him
in
this
world
,
and
whereby
we
receive
from
him
what
ever
we
want
for
this
life
or
a
better
,
so
farre
as
it
is
for
his
glory
and
our
good
;
yea
it
is
the
greatest
of
duties
,
in
that
all
things
are
sanctified
by
it
;
1
Tim

Hearing
is
the
great
Ordinance
of
God
,
whereby
the
whole
counsell
and
will
of
God
revealed
in
the
word
,
is
made
known
unto
us
;
Acts
20.25
,
26
,
27
,
The
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
is
the
great
Ordinance
of
God
for
our
remembrance
of
Christ
crucified
;
2
Cor
.
11.24
.
Observe
these
generall
rules
about
the
manner
how
you
are
to
perform
holy
duties
.
They
that
remember
little
of
the
many
things
they
have
heard
of
Jesus
Christ
and
him
crucified
,
may
see
all
in
this
holy
Ordinance
,
yea
,
and
receive
all
in
it
by
faith
that
Christ
hath
purchased
.
Fiftly
,
the
manner
how
you
are
to
perform
holy
duties
,
not
ignorantly
nor
doubtfully
,
but
knowingly
,
being
perswaded
in
your
heart
that
God
requires
them
of
you
;
Rom
10.14
14.23
.
Not
rashly
and
inconsiderately
,
but
reverently
(
fearing
with
a
filiall
fear
,
least
you
should
offend
God
,
Ps.
89.7
.
and
preparedly
,
Iob
11.13
,
14.
so
as
that
God
may
have
that
honour
from
holy
duties
as
is
fit
for
a
God
to
have
:
Rom.
●

.
Not
proudly
,
but
humbly
:
Luke

Not
prophanely
with
the
love
of
any
sin
in
your
heart
,
Ps
66.18
.
but
purely
,
with
a
heart
not
only
habitually
,
but
actually
sanctified
:
Lev
.
10.3

Psal
,
93.5

1

Not

if

but
solemnly
having
high
thoughts
of
God
and
of
all
the
duties
of
his
worship
:
Isa

to

Not

exercising
all
the
faculties
of
your

,
and
all
the
gifts
and
graces
of
Gods
Spirit
upon
,
and
about
God
and
his
worship
:
yea
,
and
the
parts
of
your
body
about
the
service
of
God
,
so
farre
as
bodily
exercise
is
therein
required
:
Having
your
eyes
in
the
time
of
hearing
upon
the
man
,
or
the
book
of
God
,
Luk
.
4.20
your
ears
attentive
to
the
voice
of
God
in
man
:
Rev.

.
your
eyes
in
the
time
of
prayer
upon
God
in
heaven
,
or
upon
the
hell
of
your
own
heart
,
as
unworthy
to
look
up
to
heaven
:
Luk
.
18.13
.
Not
hypocritically
with
your
body
only
,
and
the
outwardly
actings
thereof
,
Mat

15.7.8.9
.
but
sincerely
with
your
soul
and
with
all
that
is
within
you
:
Ioh

Not
formally
,
but
powerfully
with
inward
actings
of

,
as
well
as
with

actings
of

,
holinesse
,
or
the
like
.

with
all
your
strength
of
intention
,
and
affection
:
Luk

Not

,
Mat

seriously
as
becomes
the
worship
of
God
in
hand
:
Mar.

Not

and
endeavouring
to
give
him
all
the
glory
you
can
,
grieving
that
you
can
give
him
no
more
,
desiring
to
give
him
infinite
glory
sutable
unto
his
infinitenesse
:
Psa

69.9
Not
in
your
own
name
as
if
your
duties
were
your
righteousnesse
,
or
requitalls
for
benefits
received
,
or
amendments
for
faults
or
sins
against
God
,
or
as
your
propitiations
for
your
sins
,
or
impulsive
causes
to
move
God
to
be
gracious
unto
you
:
but
in
the
Name
of
Christ
,
leaving
your
services
with
him
to
be
tendered
unto
God
:
Col.

.
closing
all
the
solemn

of
Gods

alwaies
with
a
giving
up
of

and
of
all
you
are

the
Lord
,
to
be
at
his
disposall
for
his
glory
;
Psa

Sixtly
,
what
the
rule
is
that
you
are
to
perform
holy
duties
by
,
not
your
own
will
and
phancy
,
nor
mens
inventions
and
precepts

that
your
secret

might
thereby
be
covered
,
that
you
might

of

that
you
might
honour
God
,
that
you
might
have
communion
with
him
,
and
grace
from
him
,
to
honour
him
withall
;
Acquaint
your selves
with
these
particulars
as
you
are
able
to
bear
them
,
that
you
may
understandingly
remember
them
,
and
be
in
some
measure
fitted
to
serve
God
at
any
time
,
so
as
to
sanctifie
his
name
by
your
rehearsing
of
them
in
your
heart
as
you
fall
upon
duty
.
The
second
Direction
discovers
to
you
after
what
manner
you
are
daily
to
serve
God
,
as
also
how
you
are
to
perform
sundry
and
divers
holy
duties
as
you
have
opportunity
and
liberty
thereunto
,
although
you
be
not
daily
called
unto
them
.
SEcondly
,
The
particulars
afore
mentioned
being
known
,
understood
,
and
mixed
with
faith
:
Come
to
Christ
in
the
Gospel
,
not
only
to
be
saved
by
him
,
Mat
.
11.28
.
Ioh
.
6.37
.
Heb
.

but
also
to
learn
of
him
how
to
serve
God
in
spirit
and
in
truth
,
Ioh
.
4.24
.
and
particularly
how
to
pray
,
so
as
to
sanctify
God
in
Prayer
:
and
being
Christ
that
hath
taught
you
how
to
pray
,
hath
not
tied
you
to
a
form
of
prayer
,

but
given
you
a
perfect
pattern
to
pray
by
;
Therefore
use
all
means
,
to
understand
the
meaning
of
the
Lords
Prayer
:
for
it
containeth
whatsoever
you
can
ask
at
Gods
hands
,
or
give
him
thanks
for
;
How
you
are
to
premeditate
and
pray
every
morning
.
And
pray
daily
after
this
manner
,
which
(
I
conceive
)
is
but
materially
as
Christ
hath
taught
you
;
First
,
Every
morning
after
you
have
awaked
with
God
,
Psa
.
139.18
.
and
before
you
go
about
the
works
of
your
calling
,
or
after
you
have
separated
your
thoughts
from
the
world
,
and
devoted
your self
for
the
time
unto
God
;
Psa

first
what
the
great

dreadfull
God
of
heaven
,
Psa

Eccl

and
your
mercifull
and
gracious
father
,
hath
done
for
you
,
his
poor
sinfull
creature
at
all
times
,
particularly
what
he
hath
done
for
you
,
the
night
and
morning
past
;
Secondly
,
wherein
you
have
sinned
against
heaven
,
and
before
the
Lord
,
generally
at
all
times
,
particularly
the
by-past-night
or
morning
,
either
in
your
dreams
;
thoughts
,
speeches
,
actions
,
omissions
of

or
failing
in
duty
;
Thirdly
,
What
you
would
have
God
to
do
for
you
the
day
following
(
if
you
might
have
the
desire
of
your
soul
,
which
ought
alwaies
to
be
according
to
Gods
will
)

For

Now
your

should

And
before
you
enter
upon
this

,
think
of
your
many
sins
by
reason
of
which
God
might
give
you
over
to
a
reprobate
minde
,
Rom

and
consider
that
you
cannot
teach
your self
without
the
spirits
teaching
,
nor
know
the
minde
of
God
in
the
word
,
but
by
the
spirit
of
God
that
did
indite
it
,
1

and
so
desire
God
for
the

sake
to
pardon
your
sins
,
to
pour
out
his
spirit
upon
you
,

to
help

remember

to

And
after
you
have
read
and
pondered
upon

,
and
seriously
considered
what

it
is
to
have
Gods
word
to
read
and
meditate
upon

to
receive

benefit

and
pray
to
him
for
the
continuance
and
encrease
of
the

unto
you
,
which
you
may
do
in
your
morning
and

,
if
this
exercise
be
immediatly
before

How
and
upon
what
subjects
you
are
some
times
to
meditate
.
Sometimes
in
stead
of
reading
and
meditating
upon
the
word
,
ponder
upon
one
of
these
or
the
like
subjects
;

First
ask
your self
(
For
set
meditation
is
a
talking
with
ones
self
)
whether
you
truly
beleeve
in
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
2
Cor
.
23.5
.
Secondly
whether
you
have
added
to
your
faith
,
since
,
as
you
conceive
,
God
gave
you
to
beleeve
,
vertue
,
knowlege
,
temperance
,
patience
,
godlinesse
,
brotherly
kindenesse
,
charity
,
2
Pet
.
17.8
.
Thirdly
,
whether
you
conceive
that
God
may
say
of
you
(
as
he
said
of
Iob
)
that
you
are
perfect
and
upright
and
one
that
fears
God
,
and
eschewes
evill
,
Iob
.
1.8
.
Fourthly
whether
you
dare
die
,
or
can
die
with
comfort
,
in
the
present
condition
you
are
in
:
Phil
.
1.23
When
and
in
what
cases
you
are
to
go
to
your
Minister
or
to
some
experienced
Christian
for
resolution
.
See
the
conclusion
of
the
exposition
of
the
right
answer
in
the
Catechisme
.
And
if
your
answer
to
your self
be
negative
,
teen
be
the
more
diligent
in
the
use
of
all
means
that
you
may
beleeve
,
and
add
those
graces
to
your
faith
,
and
be
upright
,
and
prepared
for
death
:
But
if
your
answer
to
your self
,
be
affirmative
,
then
be
thankfull
to
God
,
and
incouraged
therewith
to
beleeve
more
,
to
grow
in
those
graces
you
have
added
to
your
faith
,
to
be
more
sincere
,
to
be
more
desirous
to
be
dissolved
,
and
to
be
with
Christ
:
or
if
you
be
unable
to
meditate
and
to
speak
with
your self
about
these
subjects
,
then
have
recourse
to
your
minister
,
or
to
some
able
experienced
Christian
that
they
may
confer
with
you
about
them
,
and
the
estate
of
your
soul
:
making
your
requests
to
God
before
and
after
your
meditation
of
this
kinde
,
by
praier
and
thanks-giving
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
subject
you
are
to
meditate
upon
:
As
for
example
,
when
you
are
to
meditate
whether
you
unfainedly
beleeve
in
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
or
no
?
Consider
that
you
cannot
know
it
,
but
as
God
shall
give
you
to
know
it
1
Cor
2.12
How
you
are
to
premeditate
and
pray
before
your
set
Meditation
upon
any
subiect
.
that
when
you
do
know
it
,
you
cannot
of
your self
make
a
sanctifyed
use
of
it
,
that
your
sins
are
and
have
been
such
,
as
might
provoke
God
,
to
withhold
the
knowledge
of
it
from
you
;
After
that
desire
God
for
the
Lords
sake
,
to
forgive
you
your
sins
,
to
give
you
to
know
the
grace
he
hath
given
you
,
if
you
have

And
after

your

whether
you
be

the
greatnesse
of
your

you
to
perform
a
duty
you
are
slack
in
,

to
keep
you
from

sin
you
are
prone
unto
:
The
insufficiency
of
your self
to
pay
your
vow
when
you
have
made
it
,
then
desire
God
for
Christs
sake
,
to
pardon
your
sin
,
to
incline
you
to
make
that
vow
(
if
it
be

your
good
)
that
you
are
moved
unto
,
to
inable
you
through
Christ
to
keep
it
,
and
to
make
it
instrumentally
helpfull
(
for
a
vow
is
but
an
help
to
Gods
worship
,
and
not
a
part
of
it
)
for
to
obtain
the
end
for
which
it
was
intended
:
And
so
solemnly
vow
unto
the
Lord
,
How
you
are
to
observe
the
effect
of
your
vowing
and
what
duties
you
are
thereupon
to
perform
taking
notice
of
the
time
,
and
of
the
occasion
thereof
,
and
if
in
processe
of
time
,
you
finde
that
God
gives
you
in
some
measure
to
keep
it
,
and
that
he
makes
it
successefull
unto
you
for
the
end
for
which
it
was
made
.
Then
return
thanks
unto
God
answerable
unto
the
successe
thereof
;
But
if
otherwise
you
finde
that
you
have
broken
your
promise
(
as

doth
in

and
that
your
vow
is
unhelpfull
unto
you
,
for
that
purpose
for
which
it
was
made
;
Then
be
made
hereby
humbly
sensible
of
your
sinfullnesse

any
good
work

to
carry
your self
towards
wicked

are
through
want

admitted

to
meditate
upon
your

wants
of

of
the
sufficiency

help
you
against

to
furnish
you
with
a
supply
of
grace
that
you
want
wholly
or
in

And
if
you
know
of
any
wicked
unworthy
persons
,
in
that
Congregation
you
belong
unto
,
that
are
(
through
want
of

)
admitted
to

,
then
do
you
admonish
them
once
and
again
,
and
after
that
(
if
they
reform
not
)
tell
the
Church
of
them
,
and
if
the
Church
continue
to
be
remisse

and
do
not
cast
them
out

And
if

So
especially
the

may
order
your

affairs
in
such
a
manner

as
that
thereby
you
may
be
neither
kept
from
,
nor
interrupted
in
your
sanctifying
of
the

:
and
so
,
as
that
you
may
have
some
more
time
to
read
,
and
meditate
upon
the
word
,
and
to
pray
,
for
the
preparation
of
your
heart

for
the
sanctifying
of
the
Lord
and
his
day
,
and
for
the
performance
of
all
the
duties
thereof
,
then
ordinarily
you
have
other
evenings
.
And
by
how
much
the
service
of
God
is
to
be
preferred
before
the
service
of
man

by
so

the

you
:
As
for
example
,
Note
well
this
example
of
the
manner
how
you
should
sing
Psalms
.
The
matter
of
the
first
Psalm
shews
the
happinesse
of
the
godly
,
the
unhappinesse
of
the
ungodly

you

blesse

to
exercise
your
grace
in
your

to
instruct
your self

singing
with
your
voice
,
that
the
godly
are
blessed
,
and
that
the
wicked
are
cursed

And
indeed
when
you
sing
with
understanding
to
your self
and
others
,
that
they
are
happie
that
walk
with
God
,
and
that
they
are
cursed
that
walk
contrarie
to
him
:
Then
you
praise
God
,
and
the
way
of
God
,
and
the
law
,
and
people
of
God
,
and
then
you
teach
your self

,
the
matter
of
the
Psalme
:
and
you
may
then
in
the
act
of

(
if
God
give
you

exercise
your
grace

are
in
a
blessed
estate
,
that
the
wicked
are
in
a
cursed
condition
:
your
gra●e
of
humilitie
,
in
humbling
your self
before
God
,
that
you
have
been
wicked
and
ungodlie
:
your
grace
of
praier
,
in
desiring
God
for
the
Lords
sake
to
give
you
grace
to
cease
to
be
wicked
,
and
to
learn
to
be
godlie
:
your
grace
of
godlie
fear
,
in
trembling
least
Gods
wrath
should
be
poured
out
upon
you
,
if
you
should
any
more
sin
wilfully
against
him
:
your
grace
of
spirituall
joy
,
in
rejoycing
that
God
hath
given
you
to
allow
of
his

,
to
account
it
just

holy

good
,
to
take
delight

and
of
the
wonderfull
love
of

(
as
you
were
even
now
advised

but
also
of
every
thing
that
is
sutable
to
the
Ordinance
that
may
set
your
faith
awork
,
and
all
other
your

;
As
namely
,
how
that
Salvation
is
to
be
had
by
a
Mediatour
,
as
well
as
by
Gods
me●cy
:
That
Christ
was
truly
and
verily
man
,
as
well
as
God
,
That
Gods
justice
is
infinite
in
that
nothing
cold
satisfie
it
but
the
blood
of
his
only
begotten
Son
:
That
your
soul
naturally
is
in
a
desperate
lost
estate
,
in
that
nothing
could
redeem
it
but
the
blood
of
Christ
;
your
soul
cost
no
lesse
then
the
life
of
Christ
:
Ioh
.
10.15

that
God
is
ingaged
not
only
to
give
Christ
upon
your
beleeving
and
repenting
:
but
also
to
give
you
to
beleeve
and
repent
,
being
the
Sacrament
is
a
seal
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
.
Think
I
say
of
these
things
in
the
time
of
your
receiving
,
and
exercise
your
graces
upon
them
,
in
the
act
of
meditation
:
that
you
may
give
glory
●o
God
in
your
drawing
nigh
unto
him
in
this
holie
ordinance
of
his
;
And
as
you
return

either
be
pondering
upon
the
word
with
your self

what
you

,
And
if
you
either
neglect
any
of
the
duties
I
have
advised
you
unto
,
if
conveniently
you
may
perform
them
:
or
the
Ordinances
that
conveniently
may
be
had
,
or
fail
in
the
performance
,
or
partaking
of
them
,
Then
you
break
the
Commandment
by
omission
,
and
if
you
do
the
contrary
,
you
transgresse
the
commandement
by
commission
.
And
that
you
may
make
conscience
of
sanctifying
the
Sabbath
in
the
performance
of
those
holy
duties
,
I
have
advised
you
unto
;
consider
first
,
how
that
the
time
of
the
Sabbath
(
which
begins
(
as
it
is
probably
conceived
)
in
the
morning
of
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
immediatly
after
the
midnight
of
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
,
and
continues
untill
next
morning
,
immediatly
after
midnight
)
is
a
part
of
that
worship
,
homage
,
and
honour
which
you
owe
unto
God
(
r
)
and
which
you
ought
to
spend
in
Gods
service
(
so
far
as
the
infirmities
of
your
nature
,
and
your
necessary
occasions
will
permit
you
)
from
the
dawning
of
the
day
untill
late
in
the
evening
(
f
)
Secondly
how
that
one
dutie
is
a
help
unto
another
;
Your
choicest
duties
in
the
morning
are
a
preparation
for
Family
duties
,
and
as
it
were
a
setting
of
your
heart
in
a
holy
frame
:
your
family
duties
are
a
preparation
for
the
publike
worship
,
and
as
it
were
a
keeping
of
your
heart
in
a
heavenly
frame
;
And
all
the
duties
that
you
are
to
perform
at
,
and
after
the
publike
worship
,
are
but
an
improvement
of
the
publike
;
Thirdly
,
how
that
by
holy
duties
God
is
honoured
,
your
communion
with
God
increased
:
such
graces
also
as
ordinarily
you
want
conveyed
unto
your
soul
,
and
such
as
you
have
,
especially
your
knowledge
increased
day
by
day
;
So
as
that
if
you
improve
to
the
uttermost
every
Lords
day
,
and
the
means
of
grace
you
partake
of
thereon
,
after
that
manner
as
I
have
shewed
you
,
and
for
those
ends
God
hath
appointed
them
;
you
will
be
thereby
in
due
time
made
wise
unto
salvation
,
though
you
have
neither
private
nor
publike
helps
or
means
of
grace
in
the
week
season
The
fourth
Direction
declares
unto
you
,
how
you
are
to
Worship
God
in
the
extraordinary
duties
of
Fasting

Thanksgiving

both
in
your
Person
alone
,
and
in

And
as
you
are
a
private
Christian
Man
or
Woman
,
and
as
yet
unmarried
,
endeavour
to
possesse
your
own
vessell
in
holinesse
,
and
beware
not
only
of
actuall
fornication
,
and
adulterie
,
but
also
of
all
unclean
behaviour
with
your self
,
A
sad
example
of
one
wounded
in
conscience
about
self-pollution
.
or
any
other
;
I
have
read
of
some
that
have
gone
Mad
with
horrour
of
conscience
about
wickednesses
of
that
nature
;
I
knew
one
in
his
sicknes
,
before
his
death
,
that
cryed
out
in
the
bitternesse
of
his
soul
,
to
this
purpose
:
O
that
all
the
unclean
persons
of
the
world
knew
in
what
a
hell
of
torments
I
am
in
,
about
my
being
unclean
with
my self
and
others
!
O
that
I
could
speak
,
write
,
or
send
my
minde
to
those
whom
I
have
moved
to
any
kinde
of
folly
and
uncleannesse
,
or
with
whom
I
have
sinned
any
kinde
of
sin
or
wickednesse
!
But
I
fear
I
must
never
hear
of
them
untill
I
be
tormented
with
them
,
and
for
them
,
in
hell
,
in
hell
,
in
hell
!
O
that
I
knew
how
to
warn
the
world
to
beware
of
my
wickednesse
,
to
wit
,
of
neglecting
honourable
Marriage
,
of
following
base
and
vile
courses
!
Thereupon
he
did
determine
to
use
all
means
whereby
those
(
whom
he
had
provoked
to
sinne
,
and
with
whom
he
had
been
unclean
)
might
know
what
bitter
things
God
had
writ
against
him
,
by
reason
of
his
own
and
his
other
mens
sins
:
And
did
desire
that
all
the
Ministers
of
the
land
might
know
his
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
Gen.
38.9.10
.
Rom.

,

As
namely
his
being
unclean
with
himself
at
times
,
for
sixteen
years
together
,
his
frequent
tempting
of
others
to
uncleannesse
,
fornication
and
adulterie
,
and
his
sinning
those
sinnes
sometimes
with
others
,
for
that
end
that
they
might
warne
their
people
to
take
heed
of
it
,
and
that
they
might
advise
them
to
Marrie
in
the
Lord
,
not
only
to
avoid
fornication
,
but
also
all
uncleannesses
of
bodie
and
spirit
with
themselves
,
or
others
;
O
then
let
it
be
your
care
to
be
holie
in

And
that

What

Be
much
in

in

of

in

Use
(

a

temperate

:
Be
diligent
in

to

Take

,
rise

wake

wave
all
unnecessary
communion
with
all
that
are
not

Doe

(

nor

Be

Meditation

and
in
ejaculatory
praier
unto

,
that
your

from

And
if
God
bestow
the
gift
of

upon

in

therefore
solemnly
seek
God
by

for
a

that
may
be
a

And
seriously
consider
(
before

call
upon
God
upon
this
oceasion
)
what
your
iniquities
,
transgressions
and
sins
are
,
and
have
been
(
for
I
alwaies
advise
you
,
before
all
manner
of
solemn
praier
,
to
think
of
your
sins
,
not
that
you
might
despair
,
and
draw
back
through
unbelief
,
as
if
you
were

satisfie
for
them
:
nor
yet
that
you
might
be
sorrie
for
them
,
as
one
without
hope
of
pardon
.
But
that
your
heart
might
be
kept
humble
and
low
in
the
sence
of
them
,
and
that
the
memoriall
of
them
might
work
a
new
desire
in
you
,
to
be
found
in
Christ
,
and
a
new
affection
in
you
unto
Christ
)
by
reason
of
which
God
might
justly
curse
you
in
all
the
relations
that
you
are
,
or
may
be
in
:
And
call
to
minde
how
unprepared
you
are
to
serve
God
in
that
relation
you
are
seeking
after
,
and
how
unfit
you
are
to
make
choise
of
a
meet
help
or
guide
for
your self
in
his
service
;
This
being
done
,
desire
God
for
Christs
sake
to
remember
your
sins
no
more
,
to
direct
you
unto
friends
,
and
by
friends
unto
one
that
may
be
a
comfortable
yoke-fellow
for
you
,
and
to
give
you
grace
to
carry
your self
so
in
your
looking
out
for
a
wife
or
a
husband
,
as
that
you
may
neither
dishonour
him
,
nor
wrong
your self
,
by
irrationall
,
irreligious
,
untimely
engagements
,
either
in
your
affections
,
or
in

;
Afterward
acquaint
your

chief
friends
of
our
own

,
how
God
inclines
your
heart
to
Marrie
,
and
be
ruled
by
them
in
a
rationall
religious
way
:
Advisedly
(
and
not
rashly

choosing

that

both
in

Acquainting

what

from

Demanding

Carrying

religiously
(
for

the
weightiest
matter
that
ever
you
went
about
belonging
to

life
)
in
the
whole
businesse
,
as
becomes
a
servant
of
Jesus

:
Preparing
your self
(
from
your
first
solemne
thoughts
of
Marriage
)
to
worship
God
in
that
relation
according
to
his
word
;
And
if
God
doe
bring
it
about
,
in
causing
you
and
the
partie
to
love
and
to
like
each
other
,
and
both
you

and
your

to
accord
together
in
all
substantiall
matters
:
Then
Marrie
in

Lord
,
according
to
the
order
of

Church

State
,
and
give
up
your selves
unto
him

to
serve
him
so
in
that
relation
,
as
becomes
holinesse
:
When
,
and
how
husband
and
wife
are
to
pray
together
.
Praying
together
(
before
you
bed
together
)
for
the
forgivenesse
of
all
your
sins
,
that
might
provoke
God
to
imbitter
all
relations
unto
you
:
For
the
favour
and
countenance
of
God
upon
you
that
is
the
happinesse
of
everie
condition
of
life
:
For
new
hearts
,
new
estate
:
For
a
sanctified
use
of
the
Married
condition
,
that
it
may
be
a
furtherance
unto
you
both
(
and
not
a
hinderance
)
in
your
serving
of
God
;
Praying
afterward
frequentlie
,
as
you
are
a
husband
(
according
to
the
advise
given
you
in
the
following
Directions
)
for
,
and
with
your
wife
:
Confessing
unto
God
(
among
your
other
sin●
)
one
anothers
failings
:
Asking
(
for
Christs
sake
)
pardon
of
them
,
and
power
against
them
,
and
grace
to
preserve
your
first
love
,
to
bear
each
others
infirmities
,
to
cover
them
with
love
,
to
observe
each
others
tempers
,
for
one
anothers
good
,
to
be
chast
,
to
love
each
others
companie
,
to
be
faithfull
each
to
other
,
to
be
industrious
and
provident
one
for
another
,
to
tender
each
others
good
name
:
More
especially
intreat
the
Lord
to
give
you
,
and
your
wife
grace
to
perform
those
duties
to
him
,
and
one
to
another
,
that
you
know
you
are
negligent
in
;
Thus
by
praier
you
may
tell
one
another
of
your
failings
,
and
yet
not
provoke
one
another
to
anger
,
but
to
godlie
sorrow
for
the
same
:
Thus
you
may
exhort
one
another
to
dutie
,
and
yet
not
stir
up
hatred
one
against
another
,
but
love
one
to
another
.
O
then
continue
in
praier
,
and
live
,
and
love
,
and
cease
not
to
love
,
till
ye
cease
to
live
.
How
you
are
further
to
worship
God
as
a
husband
or
a
wife
,
or
as
a
father
,
or
a
mother
:
The
Directions
for
Governours
and
Governesses
of
Families
will
shew
you
.
And
being
there
is
an
occasion
offered
by
these
Directions
to
some
weak
Christians
to
propound
some
cases
of
conscience
:
Fight
Queries
,
or
cases
of
conscience
briefly
answered
.
Therefore
I
will
endeavour
briefly
to
answer
these
following
questions
.
First
,
Must
I
alwaies
prepare
for
praier
,
reading
and
hearing
of
the
word
,
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
,
and
the
like
holie
duties
before
I
undertake
to
perform
them
?
Yea
alwaies
,
untill
you
can
perform
them
to
Gods
honour
without
preparation
:
Lev
.
10.3
.
1
Pet
.
1.15
.
1
Pet
.

.
as
you
can
in
some
measure
if
you
goe
about
your
earthly
affairs
with
an
heavenly
minde
,
without
having
your
heart
and
affections
taken
off
therewith
from
things
above
,
and
if
you
be
continually
mindefull
of
your
dependance
upon
God
for
all
you
are
and
have
.
1
Cor
.
15.10
.
Phil
.
3.20
.
2
Tim
.
2.21
,
Secondly
,
What
if
I
do
not
prepare
for
holy
duties
through
forgetfulnes
,
want
of
watchfulnes
:
or
cannot
,
through
want
of
opportunity
,
or
knowlege
of
them
,
before
I
am
called
to
perform
them
;
shall
I
omit
them
because
of
my
unpreparednes
?
No
,
Because
it
is
a
greater
sinne
wholly
to
omit
,
or
to
lay
aside
duties
,
then
it
is
to
fail
in
them
Ex.
4.24.25
.
Iob

through
want
of
preparednesse
or
the
like
:
But
be
sorrie
for
your
unpreparation
,
and
so
fall
upon
holy
duties
,
(
if
you
doe
not
doubt
of
them
Rom.
14
,
23.
)
unfainedly
endeavouring
to
give
God
that
glorie
in
them
,
that
is
in
some
measure
fit
for
a
God
to
have
.
1
Chron
.
16.29
.
1
Chron
.
29.11
,
to
14.
Thirdly
,
What
if
when
I
doe
prepare
my self
for
holy
duties
,
I
finde
my
heart
not
fit
for
them
:
shall
I
for
the
present
forbear
the
performance
of
them
,
because
of
my
unpreparation
?
In
no
wise
,
Because
if
you
should
neglect
duties
by
reason
of
your
unpreparednes
in
this
case
,
you
would
be
lesse
fit
for
them
the
next
time
that
you
were
to
perform
them
,
and
so
you
might
be
tempted
to
omit
them
continually
:
Pro
.
10.29
Iob
17.9
.
2
Tim
.
3.13
,
14.
But
prepare
your self
as
well
as
you
can
for
holy
duties
,
that
is
one
part
of
your
dutie
,
and
then
go
on
in
them
with
all
zeal
for
Gods
glorie
:
praying
,
hearing
,
receiving
the
Sacrament
(
if
you
be
free
from
ignorance
,
and
all
manner
of
wickednesse
that
makes
you
altogether
unworthie
to
come
to
the
Lords
Table
)
and
performing
the
like
holy
duties
,
that
you
may
be
the
better
fitted
to
glorifie
God
by
them
the
next
time
you
are
to
performe
them
.
2
Chron
,
30.18
,
19.
1
Cor
.
11.28
.
Fourthly
,
If
I
perform
holy
duties
,
by
these
or
the
like
Directions
you
have
given
me
;
How
shall
I
know
whether
I
perform
them
in
the
strength
of
my
parts
and
gifts
,
by
the
help
of
such
and
such
Directions
:
or
through
the
strength
of
Christ
,
and
the
help
of
the
spirit
?
If
when
you
perform
dutie
,
you
look
up
to
God
for
the
help
of
his
spirit
,
and
depend
upon
him
for
the
same
,
and
be
carried
to
him
in
dutie
,
so
as
to
have
your
heart
affected
with
him
,
and
bettered
by
him
,
in
your
serving
of
him
:
Then
you
may
be
said
to
perform
dutie
in
the
strength
of
Christ
,
through
the
help
of
his
spirit
,
and
not
in
your
own
strength
through
the
help
of
your
naturall
parts
and
gifts
;

because
they
that
are
acted
by
naturall
parts
have
not
their
hearts
bettered
thereby
,
but
act
from
themselves
,
for
their
own
peace
and
quiet
of
conscience
,
and
not
from
the
Lord
unto
his
glorie
.

Fiftly
,
How
shall
I
know
whether
I
perform
dutie
for
God
and
the
honour
of
his
name
:
or
meerly
for
my self
and
the
satisfying
of
my
own
conscience
?
If
you
perform
holy
duties
,
because
God
requires
them
,
for
that
end
that
you
might
honour
God
in
them
,
rejoicing
that
others
are
able
to
honour
him
more
in
them
then
your self
,
and
do
get
strength
by
them
,
whereby
you
have
communion
with
God
in
them
:
Then
you
have
good
evidence
to
your
soul
that
God
puts
you
upon
dutie
for
his
own
honour
,
and
not
your self
alone
for
your
own
peace
;
Psal
.
27.8.4.42.1

.
Prov.
10.29
.
Mark
.
9.23
,
24.
Ioh
5.44.12.43
.
For
they
that
are
acted
meerly
by
self
and
naturall
conscience
,
perform
dutie
more
because
their
conscience
requires
them
,
then
because
God
commands
them
,
and
no
more
nor
oftner
then
they
are
for
their
peace
and
quiet
of
conscience

it

I

See
the
conclusion
of
the
fifth
part
of
the
Directions
for
private
Christians
,
and
of
the
third
and
fourth
branch
of
the
Directions
for
Governors
of
families
,
about
answers
to
Queries
and
Objections
against
the
advise
I
have
given
you
for
all
manner
of
prayer
.
The
fifth
Direction
shews
what
course
ignorant
,
unlearned
people
are
to
take
,
that
they
may
know
God
,
and
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
.
FIfthly
,
As
you
are
unlearned
,
and
capable
of
learning
,
use
all
diligence
to
learn
to
reade
,
You
are
to
have
a
Bible
and
a
catechisme
of
your
own
,
that
you
may
receive
instruction
at
any
time
from
any
that
are
able
to
reade
to
you
.
and
all
means
whereby
you
may
know
and
understand
the
four
fore-going
Directions
;
And
whereas
the
learned
are
advised
to
reade
the
Scriptures
,
doe
you
in
the
room
of
that
meditate
upon
the
word
;
For
that
end
have
a
Bible
and
a
catechisme
of
your
own
,
and
procure
some
now
and
then
as
you
have
opportunity
to
read
to
you
the
ten
Questions
and
Answers
of
my
Catechisme
,
or
the
Questions
and
Answers
of
any
other
Catechisme
,
that
contains
in
it
the
like
principles
of
divinitie
:
or
some
part
of
the
word
that
may
instruct
you
in
the
grounds
of
Religion
necessarie
unto
salvation
;
After
what
order
the
word
,
and
this
or
some
other
catechisme
,
and
these
Directions
are
to
be
read
unto
you
.
Afterward
let
them
reade
that
part
of
the
second
Direction
that
teaches
you
how
to
worship
God
,
morning
,
meal-times
,
and
evening
:
as
also
the
rest
of
that
,
and
the
other
Directions
,
as
you
are
able
to
bear
them
,
and
have
an
occasion
to
make
use
of
them
;
above
all
let
the
word
of
God
be
often
read
,
and
opened
unto
you
,
that
you
may
receive
that
by
hearing
,
that
others
attain
unto
by
reading
;
By
how
much
you
are
made
uncapable
of
the
knowledge
of
God
by
being
unlearned
,
The
more
ignorant
you
are
,
the
more
need
you
have
to
seek
after
knowledge
.
Prov.
2.3
,
4
,
5.
by
having
a
shallow
understanding
,
and
a
weak
memory
:
By
so
much
the
more
you
have
need
to
take
pains
with
your self
,
and
to
get
others
to
take
pains
with
you
,
to
bring
you
to
the
knowledge
of
God
and
Jesus
Christ
.
And
although
there
be
no
particular
commands
and
examples
in
the
Scripture
for
these
particular
Directions
I
now
advise
you
unto
:
yet
you
are
bound
in
conscience
to
follow
them
,
both
by
the
second
chapter
of
the
Proverbs
,
and
by
those
Scriptures
that
require
Parents
to
bring
up
their
children
in
the
nurture
and
admonition
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
command
them
,
and
their
houshold
after
them
;
Eph.
6.4
.
Deut
.
11.19
.
Gen.
18
,
29.
Eph.
6.1
,

,

I
never
knew
any
in
all
my
daies
so
uncapable
of
saving
knowledge
,
(
if
come
to
years
of
understanding
)
but
they
could
know
so
much
of
naturall
and
civil
things
,
as
the
knowledge
of
God
that
might
make
one
wise
unto
salvation
comes
unto
.
And
whereas
you
may
object
,
and
say
,
I
cannot
meditate
and
pray
day
and
night
,
as
you
direct
me
,
nor
remember
any
thing
but
those
praiers
that
I
have
been
taught
from
my
childehood
,
word
by
word
,
and
sentence
by
sentence
;
As
the
Pater
Noster
,
Ave
Maria
,
The
Belief
,
The
Lords
Prayer
,
The
ten
Commandments
,
&c.
First
I
answer
,
You
being
unlearned
cannot
pray
in
latine
formes
of
praier
,
so
as
to
be
accepted
of
God
,
Phil
.
4.6
.
because
you
cannot
understandingly
by
them
make
your
requests
known
unto
God
.
Again
I
tell
you
by
way
of
answer
,
That
if
you
did
but
rightly
understand
the
articles
of
the
Creed
,
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
ten
Commandments
,
you
might
thereby
in
some
measure
know
what
to
beleeve
,
what
to
pray
for
,
and
how
to
live
;
And
therefore
I
counsell
you
to
endeavour
to
know
the
true
meaning
of
them
,
that
you
may
distinguish
betwixt
the
rules
of
faith
,
praier
,
and
a
holie
life
;
For
although
the
Lords
Prayer
(
as
I
said
at
the
beginning
)
contains
all
things
in
it
that
you
can
ask
,
or
give
thanks
to
God
for
:
Yet
the
Belief
,
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
ten
Commandments
,
taken
jointlie
together
are
not
a
praier
,
neither
ought
you
to
say
them
together
as
a
prayer
,
Rom.
14.23
.
because
you
have
no
warrant
from
the
word
so
to
doe
.
Thirdly
I
answer
,
You
may
as
easilie
learn
to
pray
(
and
I
would
you
would
make
triall
hereof
)
morning
,
noontime
,
evening
,
and
at
all
times
upon
all
occasions
of
solemn
praier
,
by
the
Directions
I
have
given
you
:
as
you
may
learn
formes
of
private
praier
by
heart
,
for
all
occasions
as
they
are
read
to
you
out
of
a
book
;
And
if
once
you
have
these
Directions
in
your
memorie
,
you
may
pray
by
them
through
the
help
of
Gods
spirit
with
more
sinceritie
,
then
by
any
set
form
of
praier
whatsoever
.
Besides
I
ask
you
,
Are
you
sensible
of
any
mercie
that
you
doe
,
or
have
received
from
the
Lord
?
Are
you
sensible
of
any
sin
that
you
do
,
and
have
sinned
against
heaven
and
before
the
Lord
?
Doe
you
see
your self
to
want
any
thing
that
you
are
perswaded
that
God
is
able
and
willing
for
Christs
sake
to
bestow
upon
you
?
Then
doe
but
humble
your self
before
the
Lord
,
morning
after
evening
,
In
what
cases
mentall
prayer
(
may
be
conceived
)
to
be
acceptable
to
God
.
and
evening
after
morning
,
and
time
after
time
,
and
look
but
so
many
looks
towards
heaven
with
a
thankfull
frame
of
heart
as
you
have
received
severall
kindes
of
mercies
:
Isa
.
45.22
.

Chron
.
20
,

Sigh
but
so
many
sighs
with
a
contrite
spirit
as
〈◇〉
have
sinned
severall
sorts
of
sins
:
Ezek
.
9.4
.
Psal
.
75.11
.
And
breath
but
so
many
breathings
,
as
you
have
particular
wants
that
you
would
have
God
to
supply
;
Lam
.
3.56
And
it
is
as
acceptable
praier
to
him
that
is
a
spirit
,
through
Christ
(
if
praied
by
one
that
is
in
Christ
and
unable
as
yet
to
pray
otherwise
)
as
if
you
used
the
best
expressions

1.10
,
12
,
13
,
27.28
.
that
the
ablest
Christians
are
furnished
withall
.
But
you
will
say
unto
me
;
Ought
not
I
to
pray
in
words
and
expressions
as
well
as
in
my
spirit
?
Yea
,
You
ought
to
pray
with
your
voice
as
well
as
in
your
spirit
,
assoon
as
God
shall
give
you
utterance
,
that
your
affections
thereby
might
be
quickened
,
and
your
minde
kept
from
wandring
;
Ps.

therefore
pray

praier

evening

time
when
God

you

fixing
your

upon
God
in
the

of

who
is
God
with

the
while

Beleeving
(
according

)
that
you
shall
have
the
spirit
,
if
you
ask
it
for
Christs

,
for
to
help
your
infirmities
with
sighes
,
and
groans
that
cannot

But
you

object

may
make

same
querie
)
what
if
God
have
given
me

if
I
have
learned
forms
of
praier
by

I

You
ought
not
to
neglect
the
gift
of
God
that
is
in
you
,
and
you
need
not
to
lay
aside
any
thing
that
you
have
learned
that
may
help
you
to
pray
as
Christ
hath
taught
you
:
But
you
may
improve
the
same

these
Directions
for
the
furthering
of
your self
to
pray
with
more
sinceritie
,
and
lesse
formality
then
formerly
you

You
shall
finde
knowledge
if
you
diligently
seek
it

What
shall
I
say
more
?
However
ignorant
,
and
unlearned
you
be
,
if
you
have
a
willing
minde
,
and
use
all
diligence
to
finde
knowledge
,
you
may
be
confident
that
you
shall
in
due

be
taught
(

)
the
things
of
God
that
are
necessary

THE
SECOND
PART
OF
THE
DIRECTIONS
Shews
how
Christian
Governours
,
and
Governesses
of
Families
whether
Learned
or
Unlearned
,
are
to
serve
God
in
all
the
parts
of
his
Worship
both
in
private
and
in
publike
,
which
consists
of
five
Generall
Directions
as
followeth
.
The
first
generall
Direction
shews
how
,
and
after
what
manner
a
Christian
Governour
of
a
Family
is
daily
to
serve
God
.
FIrst
,
Having
set
up
God
in
your
heart
,
and
knowing
and
doing
your
duty
as
a
private
Christian
:
Endeavour
to
set
up
God
in
your
house

Act.
10.2

How
you
are
to
prepare
to
worship
God
in
your
house
.
For
that
end
study
the
Scriptures
,
and
more
particularly
such
a
part
of
the
word
as
may
furnish
you
with
knowledge
sufficient
for
the
instructing
and
well
governing
of
your
Familie
;
1
Tim
.

Tim

.
And
after
you
have
at
any
time
read
the
word
in
private
,
or
heard
it
in
publike
,
and
meditated
upon
it
for
your
own
use
:
How
you
are
to
make
use
of
the
word
for
your self
and

Then
mark
what
things
there
are
in
it
that
concern
the
instruction
,
reptehension
,
confutation
,
humiliation
,
consolation
,
confirmation
,
and
edification
of
your
Familie
,
for
that
end
that
you
may
speak
of
the
particulars
thereof
unto
them
,
When
you
read
,
open
,
or
repeat
the
word
among
them
.
And
meditate
now
and
then
upon
one
of
these
subjects
or
the
like
;
As
first
,
whether
you
can
approve
your
heart
to
God
that
you
command
your
children
and
servants
,
and
all
within
your
charge
,
to
serve
God
sincerely
.

watched
over
,
and
governed
by
you
as
one
that
looks
to
give
an
account
of
their
souls
yea
or
no
?
Thirdly
,
whether
you
have
not
just
cause
to
be
troubled
in
conscience
if
you
were
now
to
die
,
for
neglecting
of
your
Family
?
Often
(
I
say
)
think
on
these
things
to
quicken
you
to
serve
God
sincerely
in
your
house
:
And
premeditate
and
pray
before
and
after
these
exercises
after
that
manner
as
you
have
been
advised
before
and
after
your
reading
of
the
word
,
and
meditating
upon
a
subject

and
that
you
might
do

in
your

Speak
then
such
things
unto
them
as
may
take
them
off
from
that
way
of
wickednesse
they
walk
in
,
and
carry
them
on
to
those
duties
they
are
negligent
in
;
Telling
them
then
,
or
at
some
other
time
(
For
it
becomes
godly
parents
solemnly
,
and
frequently
to
talk
with
their
children
that
are
come
to
years
of
understanding
not
only
about
the
temporall
estate
of
their
outward
man
,
but
also
about
the
spirituall
estate
of
their
souls
)
what
course
God
would
have
them
to
take
:
How
heartily
desirous
you
are
to
provide
for
their
temporall
,
spirituall
,
and
eternall
good
:
How
much
you
could
love
them
,
and
respect
them
,
and
rejoyce
in
them
,
if
they
would
but
endeavour
to
give
glory
to
God
by
beleeving
,
and
living
so
as
becomes
the
Gospel
.
And
when
you
admonish
any
of
your
people
before
your
whole
Familie
;
Let
it
be
done
wisely
and
in
love
,
and
meeknesse
of
spirit
,
and
immediatly
before
or
after
your

How
and
when
you
are
to
admonish

of
your

How
you
are
to
counsell
them
that
you
turn
out

.
that
you
may
seek
God
for
a
blessing
upon
it
,
either
before
or
after
it
:
Improving
your
Authority
then
and
alwaies
in
your
Family
so
,
as
that
you
may
be
a
terrour
to
them
that
do
evill
,
and
an
encourager
of
them
that
do
well
.
And
when
you
turn
away
any
of
your
Family
,
tell
them
plainly
,
and
fully
of
the
causes
wherefore
you
neither
dare
,
nor
will
,
nor
can
suffer
them
to
abide
in

And
admonish
them
in
such
a
loving
,
mild
,
compassionate
manner
,
as
that
they
may
see
that
you
seek
Gods
glory
,
and
the
good
of
their
souls
;
Counselling
them
to
beware
of
every
thing
that
may
provoke
God
either
to
cause
them
to
be
turned
out
of
the
Family
of
men
upon
earth
:
Or
out
of
the
Family
of
heaven
,
to
be
delivered
up
unto
Satan
to
commit
all
sin
here
with
greedinesse
,
and
to
be
tormented
with
the
Devill
and
his
Angels
for
ever
hereafter
.
And
because
you
are
not
only
to
be
a
spirituall
Priest
to
your
family
to
pray
for
them
,
How
many
waies
you
are
to

catechize
your

examining

answering
them

Or
catechise

Opening

Exhorting
them

to
be
forward
and
willing

be
taught
one
of
another
the
things

may
make

;
Appointing
them

daily
to
get

Reading
the

As

And
when
you
reade
and
open
these
or
the
like
Scriptures
unto
them
(
as
suppose
one
Scripture
one
day
,
and
another
another
day
,
or
as
you
have
opportunity
)
require
them
all
to
get
the
words
thereof
by
heart
,
and
examine
them
that
are
learned
therein
after
this
manner
;
Saying
unto
them
,
Shew
me
a
Scripture
(
causing
them
to
search
them
out
)
that
proves
that
the
works
of
God
should
convince
you
that
there
is
a
God
:
That
shews
you
what
God
it
:
That
tells
you
that
there
is
but
one
God
:
That
holds
forth
unto
you
that
there
are
three
persons
in
the
Godhead
:
and
so
name
the
aforementioned
principles
,
and
all
the
Doctrines
of
God
one
by
one
,
that
contain
in
them
all
things
to
be
known
and
beleeved
necessary
unto
salvation
:
having
the
Scriptures
to
prove
them
in
your
minde
,
or
written
in
a
paper
(
if
you
use
more
then
are
here
set
down
)
that
you
may
inform
them
that
are
ignorant
,
that
you
may
be
a
remembrancer
unto
them
that
are
forgetfull
,
and
that
you
may
quicken
and
enliven
them
that
are
knowing
,
by
calling
upon
them
to
make
a
beleeving
practicall
use
theeeof
;
Ask
them
afterward
that
are
unlearned
what
the
aforementioned
or
the
like
Scriptures
(
naming
them
one
by
one
,
and
speaking
the
words
thereof
unto
them
)
argues
,
proves
,
or
holds
forth
unto
them
,
or
what
they
can
gather
from
them
,
or
what
the
meaning
of
them
is
;
As
thus
.
What
doth
this
Scripture
chiefly
prove
?
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
eternall
power
and
Godhead
.
And
if
they
be
unable
to
answer
you
,
then
say
unto
them
,
Do
not
these
words
prove
that
the
works
of
God
should
convince
you
that
there
is
a
God
?
Composing
your
questions
so
,
as
that
they
may
contain
in
them
the
truths
that
those
Scriptures
you
propound
unto
them
do
chiefly
prove
,
and
so
as
that
the
ignorant
of
your
familie
may
be
put
to
answer
no
more
then
yes
,
or
no
,
according
to
the
example
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Catechisme
;
Or
frame
your
questions
so
in
your
examining
them
in
the
principles
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
as
that
they
may
answer
directly
in
Scripture
phrase
.
As
thus
Are
there
three
persons
in
the
Godhead
?
The
answer
,
There
are
three
that
bear
record
in
heaven
,
the
Father
,
the
Word
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
.

And
when
they
have
learned
the
speculative
part
of
religion
,
Then
Catechize
them
after
the
like
manner
in
the
directions
that
are
for
the
practice
of
piety
,
and
in
the
first
place
in
those
parts
of
the
Directions
that
shews
them
when
and
how
to
pray
daily
unto
God
so
as
to
be
accepted
of
him
,
through
Christ
,
and
that
directs
them
how
to
attend
family
duties
,
and
the
publike
Ministery
of
the
word
:
Examining
them
afterward
in
the
other
parts
of
the
directions
as
they
have
occasion
to
make
use
of
them
.
And
appoint
them
that
are
learned
,
orderly
to
get
by
heart
and
as
soon
as
they
can
,
the
Directions
that
are
for
private
Christians
,
and
in
the
mean
while
to
turn
unto
them
,
as
they
have
occasion
to
make
use
of
them
;
And
either
read
in
the
like
order
as
aforesaid
,
or
cause
the
Directions
to
be
read
unto
the
unlearend
untill
they
have
them
in
their
memories
:
Opening
the
Scriptures
unto
them
that
are
cited
to
prove
the
particulars
thereof
.
and
more
especially
those
Scriptures
that
are
quoted
for
the
explaining
of
the
Lords
Praier
,
in
that
brief
paraphrase
you
have
upon
it
;
If
God
be
pleased
to
work
inwardly
by
his
spirit
upon
their
hearts
,
as
you
endeavour
to
work
upon
them
outwardly
by
means
:
they
will
be
quickned
and
enabled
to
pray
,
and
to
practise
piety
as
they
come
to
a
right
understanding
thereof
;
Therefore
be
incouraged
both
to
begin
,
and
to
go
on
to
instruct
them
as
well
in
the
practicall
,
as
in
the
speculative
parts
of
Christianity
,
and
leave
the
successe
unto
God
;
There
is
a
need
of
all
rhese
waies
of
Catechizing
.
Cathechizing
them
(
after
they
doe
in
any
measure
understand
the
chief
grounds
of
Religion
)
one
way
at
one
time
,
another
way
at
another
exercise
,
or
when
you
perceive
them
to
be
formall
in
their
answers
;
one
person
in
the
word
of
the
beginning
of
Christ
,
another
in
the
deep
things
of
Christ
as
you
are
able
to
ask
,
or
as
you
discern
them
able
to
answer
.
Truly
such
is
the
dulnesse
of
our
understanding
by
nature
Eph

.
and
the
flownes
of
our
hearts
to
beleeve
Luk

and
to
live
to
God
,
and
the
cunningnesse
of
them
to
deceive
our selves
and
others
herein

As
that
there
is
a
need
of
●ll
these
waies
of
Catechizing
,
to
make
your
people
understanding
,
beleeving
,
and
powerfully
godly
Christians

And
although
change
of
questions
doth
puzzle
,
and
confound
some
young
beginners

those
whom
it
doth
must
be
kept
to
the
form
of
questions
and
answers
in

some
other

yet
it
will
take
off
others
from
formality
in
Answers

These

the

God
requires
of
you

for
every
childe
he
bestows
upon

It
is

your

duty

upon
which
(

For
this
purpose
you
should
cause

to

daily
,
in
such
a
way
as
may
best
fit
them
for
the
calling
you
intend
them
to

And
that
they
may
be
the
better
fitted
thereunto
,
as
also
that
they
may
be
made
more
capable
of
the
knowledge
of
God
:
Let
them
learn
to
read
either
in
your
house
,
or
at
the
school
,
They
may
learn
to
read
from
their
fifth
,
Children
may
learn
to
read
from
their
fifth
,
unto
their
seventh
year
if
taey
be
rightly
taught
,
and
if
they
be
ordinarily
capable
of
learning
.
unto
their
seventh
year
(
in
which
time
they
can
doe
little
or
nothing
towards
the
earning
of
their
daily
bread
)
For
let
them
be
but
rightly
taught
three
quarters
of
an
hour
each
day
at
the
School
;
Or
if
you
be
unable
to
bring
them
up
at
the
School
,
let
but
one
that
can
read
in
your
Family
,
seriously
teach
them
three
quarters
of
an
hour
every
day
at
three
distinct
times
,
and
they
may
and
will
learn
to
read
,
by
that
teaching
,
if
they
be
followed
with
it
,
in
the
space
of
two
years
,
to
wit
,
from
their
fifth
unto
their
seventh
year
,
if
they
be
ordinarily
capable
of
learning
;
Afterward
they
may
keep
their
reading
and
better
it
by
their
practice
of
it
,
and
they
may
of
themselves
learn
to
write
,
with
very
little
teaching
by
the
help
of
a
copie-booke
,
and
with
little
or
no
cost
at
all
:
The
like
may
be
said
unto
the
unlearned
men
and
women
that
are
not
disabled
by
age
or
otherwise
,
if
they
had
but
a
willing
minde
to
learn
;
My
thinks
the
chief
of
severall
Parishes
and
Congregations
with
their
Ministers
in
these
reforming
times
,
should
cause
the
children
of
the
poor
of
their
Towns
to
be
brought
up
in
such
a
way
as
that
they
may
learn
to
read
the
Scriptures
in
their
native
tongue
:
I
know
the
glory
of
God
and
the
good
of
poor
souls
calls
for
it
;
The
reason
of
my
adding
these
things
in
this
place
These
things
I
have
here
added
because
many
of
my
own
country
,
and
some
of
every
country
where
I
do
,
and
have
lived
,
are
unlearned
,
and
are
thereby
made
more
uncapable
of
the
knowledge
of
God
then
others
are

How
you
are
to

Seriously
consider
what
God
hath
done
for
you

your
Family
the
day
past
:
wherein
you
,
or
they
have
transgressed
the

What
you
,
they
,
and
all
you
are
bound
to
pray
for

want
,
either
for
your
bodies
or
souls
;
And
then
make
your

to
God
by

And
so
leave

How

As

So

the

And
it
is

your

as
you

a

not

To

And
it
is
for

The
second
generall

declares
unto
you
how
a
Christian
Governour
of
a

is
to
be
mindefull
of
the
Lords
day
before
it
come
,
for
himself

,
and
how
he
is
to
keep
it
holy
,
and
to
perform
the
duties
thereof
with
them
when
it
is
come
.
How
you
are

As
you
are

to
serve
God
every
day
,
so
especially
on
the
Lords
day
;

to

And
therefore
you
are
to
be
mindefull
of
it
for
your self
and
for
all
in
your
house
generally
every
day
,
so
as
to
prepare
your self
and
them
who
are
in

together

for
the

if

,
particularly
the

that
the
worldly

of
your

may
be
so
ordered
as
that
they
may
be
timely
ended
;
By
your
timely
laying
aside
your
worldly

.
so
as
that
every
one
of
the
family
may
have
somewhat
more
space
for
their
private
duties
in
their
closet
then
ordinarily
they
have
other
evenings
,
and
so
as
that
you
may
have
sufficient
time
this
evening
to
instruct
and
catechize
your
people
,
though
you
should
have
none
in
the
evenings
of
the
work
daies
before
.
And
before
you
enter
upon
your
family
duties
,
call
to
minde
something
to
speak
of
unto
them
,
that
may
tend
to
the
preparation
of
their
hearts
for
the
due
sanctifying
of
the
day
,
and
the
right
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
if
administred
.
And
after
you
have
thought
(
about
the
time
of
your
going
to

in

)
of
your
unworthinesse
to
have
any

By
examining
your

about
the
truth

grace
in

if
the

Call
upon
God
for
communion

for
a

from
him
upon
his
ordinances
,
that
thereby
he
may
be
glorified

and
you
somewhat
furthered
to

Then
examine
them

are

receive

about
the

and
the

ordained
:
As
also
about
their
knowledge
,
faith
,
repentance
,
charitie
,
desire
after
the
Sacrament
;
And
call
upon
them
further
to
examine
themselves
that
they
may
become
worthy
receivers
,
and
to
carry
themselves
at
,
and
after
their
receiving
in
such
a
manner
as
they
are
advised
to
doe
as
private
Christians
;
Afterward
instruct
the
rest
of
your
family
that
have
not
been
as
yet
admitted
to
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
in
any
reformed-Gospel-like
way
,
or
order
,
in
the
principles
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
;
And
when
you
perceive
any
of
them
willing
to
communicate
with
the
Saints
at
the
Lords
Table
,
then
make
it
known
unto
your
Minister
and
unto
the
Elders
who
may
jointly
declare
their
meetnes
to
the
Brethren
of
the
Church
,
whose
consent
is
requisite
to
their
more
free
and
comfortable
admission
.
Or
(
if
there
be
no
communion
)
by
teaching
and
catechizing
of
them
in
the
grounds
of
Religion
.
And
if
there
be
no
communion
,
then
catechize
them
in
the
grounds
of
Religion
,
or
reade
the
third
branch
of
the
first
part
of
the
Directions
:
Examining
them

,
charging
them
in
the
name
of

to
prepare
for

and
to
keep
holy
the

,
as
they

And
so
conclude
the

as
you
doe

with

for

to
sanctifie
the

his

manner
(
when

to

you
through

them
concerning
your

:
Requiring

you
were
even
now
advised
in
your
keeping
of
a
Family
fast
;
Catechizing
them
about
their
sins
,
and
the
abominations
of
those
they
are
to
mourn
for
(
as
I
have
shewed
)
either
the
evening
before
the
Fast
,
or
in
the
morning
before
the
publike
worship
began
;
Behaving
your selves
so
in
your
early
going
to
the
Congregation
,
in
your
abiding
at
it
,
in
your
return
from
it
,
in
your
exercises
betwixt
and
after
Sermons
,
and
in
all
the
duties
of
the
day
:
As
that
you
may
approve
your selves
unto
God
to
be
upright
in
your
keeping
of
the
day
unto
him
.
And
when
God
shall
call
you
(
by
giving
you
what
you
sought
him
for
by
praier
and
fasting
)
To
keep
a
day
of
thanks-giving
unto
him
;
How
you
are
to
prepare
for
a
day
of
thanksgiving
kept
in
your
private
family
.
Minde
your
Family
of
it
(
having
called
upon
God
for
a
blessing
upon
the
exercise
)
the
evening
,
or
two
,
or
three
daies
before
,
and
of
the
occasion
thereof
:
Shewing
them
their
iniquities
,
and
the
sins
of
those
(
if
the
day
be
kept
in
respect
of
others
)
that
make
them
unworthy
of
any
mercy
:
Telling
them
how
,
and
after
what
manner
they
are
to
prepare
for
,
and
to
keep
the
day
as
private
Christians
:
Inlarging
your self
in
your
evening
praiers
according
to
the
occasion
of
your
thanks-giving
;
Beseeching
the
Lord
more
particularly
when
you
have
no
opportunity
for
these
duties
of
preparation
)
to
prepare
your
hearts
for
the
duties
of
the
approaching
day
,
and
to
enable
you
through
Christ
to
perform
them
to
his
praise
,
and
your
comfort
.
And
after
you
have
sought
the
Lord
in
your
closet
and
ordered
your
family
affairs
:
How
you
are
to
begin
it
.
Call
to
minde
the
sins
of
your
family
,
and
of
those
you
are
to
give
thanks
to
God
for
,
that
makes
you
and
them
lesse
then
the
least
of
Gods
mercies
:
The
riches
of
Gods
goodnesse
that
either
you
,
yours
,
or
any
of
Gods
people
have
,
do
,
or
hope
to
partake
of
:
particularly
the
mercies
for
which
you
set
the
day
apart
to
give
thanks
to
God
:
The
Scriptures
or
Sermon-notes
you
are
intended
to
read
,
open
,
or
speak
of
unto
them
.
Begin
the
day
with
praier
(
as
you
do
at
other
times
)
but
with
inlarged
petitions
for
the
preparation
of
your
hearts

that
all

such

How
you
are
to
prepare
for
,
and
to
keep
a
day

in
a
Congregation
.
And
when
you
are
called

a
member
to
keep
a

giving
in
a

Hest

prepare
your self
,
and
house
for
it
,
and
begin
,
and
end
it
in
like
manner
as
you
have
been
advised
to
prepare
for
,
and
to
enter
upon
,
and
end
a
private
day
of
thanksgiving
in
your
familie
:
Examining
them
about
the
mercies
of
God
vouchsafed
unto
them
(
as
you
have
been
shewed
)
either
the
evening
before
,
or
the
morning
before
the
beginning
of
the
publique
worship
;
Ordering
your self
and
house
in
such
a
manner
in
your
going
unto
the
meeting
of
the
Saints
,
in
your
abiding
among
them
,
in
your
going
from
them
,
and
in
all
the
duties
of
the
day
:
as
that
you
may
approve
your selves
unto
God
and
man
that
you
are
upright
,
and
sincere
in
your
thanksgiving
.
An
Objection
.
But
you
may
object
and
say
,
I
cannot
pray
through
the
weaknesse
of
my
memory
either
as
a
private
Christian
,
or
as
a
Governour
of
a
familie
without
the
use
of
a
book
of
praier
.
First
,
That
reverend
Man
of
God
Doctor
Sibbs
answers
you
in
his
Epitomie
of
the
Seven
Treatises
,
The
answer
to
it
.
pag
.
689.
and
tells
you
,
that
you
may
make
use
of
a
book
if
need
he
,
and
withall
he
saith
,
that
it
is
many
waies
better
to
get
forms
of
praier
by
heart
,
then
to
use
a
book
in
the
time
of
praying
.
Secondly
I
answer
,
See
the
conclusion
of
the
Directions
for
private
Christians
about
Obiections
and
answers
unto
them
.
You
may
pray
as
a
private
Christian
,
and
as
a
Governour
of
a
familie
(
if
God
have
given
you
to
beleeve
,
and
have
given
you
utterance
to
pray
with
a
book
)
through
the
help
of
the
spirit
by
these
Directions
without
the
use
of
a
book
of
praier
in
the
time
of
praying
;
For
the
spirit
that
helps
us
to
beleeve
,
helps
us
to
pray
,
and
in
some
weak
measure
to
cry
Abba
Father
;
Ioh

.
with
Gal.

and

See
the
next
Direction
about
your
procuring
another
to
perform
family
duties
for
you
.
Two
reasons
why
Christians
cannot
pray
sincerely
by
set
formes
of
praier
,
if
they
tie
themselves
unto
them
.
And
if
after
your
premeditation
you
want
words
to
expresse
your
minde
with
,
doe
but
commit
some
promises
,
and
phrases
of
Scripture-praiers
to
memorie
,
and
you
will
be
therewith
in
due
time
furnished
with
sutable
expressions
,
and
as
it
were
with
the
language
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
whereby
you
may
pray
with
understanding
to
your self
and
others
.
And
(
if
I
may
give
my
judgement
)
you
can
neither
pray
,
nor
worship
God
sincerely
(
being
helped
by
the
spirit
,
and
gifted
to
pray
otherwise
)
by
set
forms
of
praier
,
I
mean
so
as
to
tie
your self
unto
them
,
that
is
,
neither
to
pray
for
more
mercies
in
your
closet
and
familie
,
nor
to
confesse
more
sins
,
nor
to
praise
God
for
more
blessings
then
are
set
down
in
such
and
such
formes
of
praier
appointed
for
morning
,
noontime
,
evening
,
or
the
like
;
First
because
you
have
new
mercies
every
time
you
are
solemnly
to
make
your
requests
to
God
by
praier
,
and
supplication
with
thanksgiving
,
to
blesse
God
for
,
new
sins
to
confesse
and
bewail
,
and
new
wants
to
make
known
to
God
which
are
not
particularly
set
down
in
any
form
of
praier
Rom

.

.

.
whatsoever
;
Secondly
,
Because
it
is
not
onely
your
spirituall
liberty
,
but
also
your
Christian
dutie
to
poure
out
your
spirit
before
the

FOurthly

Then
procure
them
sometimes
to
perform

in

In
the

while
untill
you
have
a
Bible
,
a
catechisme
,
and
one
that
can
reade
in
your
house
,
(

afterward
as
you
see
it
needfull

procure
your
Minister
,

some
officer
of
the
Church
,
or
some
neighbour
Christian
to
come

once
or
twice
a

for

instruct
you

Or
go
to
them
to
be
taught

instructed

them

However
ignorant

unskilfull
you

I
doubt

The

to

I
answer
,
You
ought
to
call
upon
God
in
your
family
,
if
there
be
any
to
join
with
you
;
And
you
may
sooner

learn
to
pray
(
I
mean

help
of
the
spirit
)
by
these
Directions
I
have
given
you
:
than
by
forms
of
praier
got
by
heart
(
as
some
weak
Christians
have
)
as
they
are
read
unto
you
;
And
having
learned
them
you
may
be
enabled
by
the
practice
of
them
to
pray
more
understandingly
,
spiritually
,
and
sincerely
,
than
you
can
by
any
formes
of
praier
when
you
have
them
in
your

altogether
unfit

your
endeavours

make
use

then
speak
to
your

to
some
of
the
congregation
,
whereof
you
are
a
member
to
help
you
with
one
that

As

you

to
make
it
your
care

you

you

What
duties
you
are
to
perform
to
God
,
as
you
are
or
may
be
a
mother
of
children
,
you
have
been
in
part
shewed
;
In
the

about
the
duties
that

owe
to
God
for

ch

How
Mothers
are
to
teach
their
children
.
And
remember
to
be
diligent
therein
,
especially
in
your
instructing
of
your
children
,
for
you
have
a
better
opportunity
to
instruct
them
,
then
your
husband
hath
,
For
you
may
teach
them
as
you
feed
them
(
for
they
may
learn
from
the
brests
)
as
you
dresse
,
or
undresse
them
,
as
you
sit
down
,
or
walk
in
your
way
with
them
,
as
you
lie
down
,
or
rise
up
,
and
it
is
the
will
of
the
Lord
that
you
should
so
do
;
Deu

Pro

And
therefore
(
having
desired
God
for
Christs
sake
to
teach
your
children
by
his
spirit
as
you
endeavour
to
instruct
them
by
his
word
)
speak
unto
them
out
of
the
Scriptures
(
as
soon
as
they
are
able
to
speak
unto
you
again
)
that
prove
the
answers
of
the
ten
questions
,
Or
such
like
principles
as
they
do
contain
.
And
tell
them
in
holy
,
solemn
,
loving
manner
,
as
if
you
were
telling
so
many
severall
stories
)
First
,
how
the
works
,
the
word
of
God
,
and
their
own
conscience
should
convince
them
that
there
is
a
God
,
Secondly
,
tell
them
at
another
time
(
for
they
must
but
have
a
little
spoken
unto
them
at
once
)
Isa
.
28.9.10
.
that
such
and
such
Scriptures
prove
that
God
is
a
Spirit
but
one
in
essence
,
and
three
in
persons
,
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
:
and
thus
go
through
the
principles
of
Religion
contained
in
the
answers
of
the
ten
questions
,
or
in
any
other
Catechisme
.
Afterward
cause
them
to
get
by
heart
,
the
answer
of
the
first
question
of
this
or
any
other
Catechisme
one
week
,
the
answer
of
the
second
question
another
week
,
and
so
every
week
one
additionall
answer
,
untill
they
have
learned
the
w●ole
Catechisme
:
This
being
done
,
appoint
them
to
get
the
Scriptures
by
heart
that
prove
the
answers
of
the
questions
,
getting
one
Scripture
one
day
,
and
another
another
day
,
untill
they
have
them
all
by
heart
;
And
as
you
hear
them
,
open
the
Scriptures
unto
them
so
far
as
you
assuredly
know
the
meaning
thereof
;
Thus
your
children
by
learning
line
after
line
,
here
a
little
and
there
little
,
may
come
to
know
the
Scriptures
from
their
childehood
:
as
Timothy
did
by
the
instruction
of
his
grandmother
Loi●
,
and
his
mother
Eunice
,
2
Tim
.
1.5
2
Tim
.
3.15
.
And
as
you
teach
them
,
be
so
familiar
with
them
,
as
that
they
may
not
be
afraid
to
ask
you
the
meaning
of
any
thing
they
are
ignorant
of
;
And
when
any
of
them
are
overtaken
in
the
sin
of
lying
or
the
like
,
tell
them
of
that
fearfull
story
in
the
fifth
of
the
Acts
from
the
first
unto
the
sixth
verse
,
Act.
5.1
.
to
6.
or
of
any
story
that
may
make
them
afraid
of
sinne
.
And
if
any
of
them
disobey
you
,
tell
them
that
it
is
Gods
Commandement
that
they
should
obey
you
Eph
6.1
,
2
and
that
God
will
curse
them
if
they
set
light
by
you
;
Deut
.
27.16
.
Thus
teach
them
not
only
to
know
but
also
to
practise
Christianitie
;
And
if
any
of
them
will
not
honour
you
after
your
admonition
as
their
mother
,
then
do
not
only
rebuke
but
correct
them
,
for
you
may
and
ought
to
correct
them
,
as
soon
as
they
may
be
made
sensible
that
they
have
offended
Prov.
29.15.17
.
but
remember
that
you
doe
it
in
love
,
How
maids
as
Governesses
of
Families
should
serve
God
with
these
of
their
own
Sex
in
the
Family
.
and
meeknes
of
spirit
,
declaring
unto
them
your
unwillingnes
thereunto
,
if
they
would
be
such
as
they
ought
without
correction
.
Likewise
as
you
are
a
maid
and
a
Governnesse
of
a
family
,
you
should
study
the
duties
of
Governours
of
families
about
praier
and
instruction
for
that
end
,
that
you
may
in
the
absence
and
sicknesse
of
the
Master
of
the
house
,
or
the
like
,
perform
them
with
those
of
your
own
sex
,
and
with
all
the
children
of
the
house
,
I
mean
,
if
there
be
no
man
in
the
family
that
can
serve
God
with
all
your
house
in
his
stead
.
Furthermore
,
How
aged
Christian
women
should
be
teachers
of
good
things
.
As
you
are
aged
women
you
should
be
teachers
of
good
things
:
Tit
.
2.3
,
4
,
5.
And
as
you
are
young
women
you
should
learn
of
the
aged
women
to
be
wise
,
to
love
your
husbands
,
to
love
your
children
,
to
be
discreet
,
chast
,
keepers
at
home
,
good
,
obedient
to
your
own
husbands
,
that
the
word
of
God
be
not
blasphemed
.
What
shall
I
say
more
?
It
is
meet
and
equall
,
How
all
Governesses
of
families
are
to
use
all
means
to
further
the
salvation
of
their
houshold
.
and
the
bounden
dutie
of
all
you
that
are
Christian
Governesses
of
families
,
whether
Maids
,
Wives
,
or
Widdows
,
whether
young
,
or
old
,
to
take
all
the
womankinde
of
your
house
(
as
you
have
opportunity
)
into
your
chambers
:
or
to
take
one
at
one
time
,
and
another
,
at
another
time
,
(
as
suppose
one
,
one
Lords
day
,
and
another
on
another
Sabbath
)
For
to
pray
with
them
,
and
for
them
,
and
to
direct
them
how
to
pray
:
For
to
instruct
them
for
to
reprove
them
for
any
presumptuous
or
secret
sin
and
wantonnesse
they
live
in
:
For
to
examine
them
about
the
work
of
grace
in
them
:
For
to
use
all
means
with
them
that
you
might
save
some
:
And
all
in
such
a
manner
as
becomes
women
professing
godlinesse
;
It
is
I
say
,
your
bounden
duty
so
to
doe
because
it
is
the
joint
duty
of
every
Governour
and
Governesse
of
a
family
to
endeavour
the
salvation
of
their
whole
houshold
;
Prov.
1.8.4.1
,
4.31.1
,
2.
Deut
.
6.7
.
And
although
a
Father
of
a
family
be
Governour
over
Mother
,
childe
,
and
all
:
yet
he
is
not
so
much
bound
in
conscience
to
instruct
all
,
as
to
see
that
all
be
instructed
,
How
you
are
to
call
upon
God
▪
when
you
solemnly
instruct
or
reprove
any
of
your
family
.
by
appointing
every
one
to
doe
their
duties
in
their
places
.
And
therefore
when
you
take
all
those
of
your
own
sex
,
or
any
one
of
them
into
your
chamber
for
to
teach
or
admonish
them
.
Before
you
enter
upon
the
exercise
call
upon
God
for
a
blessing
upon
your
meeting
,
that
it
may
be
for
the
better
and
not
for
the
worse
,
and
that
he
thereby
may
be
glorified
,
and
you
brought
somewhat
higher
unto
salvation
;
which
being
done
,
solemnly
minde
them
of
those
Scriptures
that
prove
that
it

you
dare
not
neglect
your
duty
herein
,
lest
the
bloud
of
their
souls
should
be
required
at
your

;
And
then
begin
and
goe
on
in
your
way
of
teaching

admonition
as
you

that
all

And
end
the

with
thanksgiving
to
God
for
these

helps
,
and
for
any
good
you
doe
,
or
hope
to
receive
thereby
