Prayer is an offering up our d●sires to God in the name of Christ for such good things as he hath prom●s●d to give and we stand in need to receive Prayer stands not in the bare use of a form of good words but is the pouring f●rth the soul and the desire● thereof after God and the good things he hath to bestow Isa. 26.9 In the name of Christ. God heareth not sinners that is coming in their own name But sayes Christ himself Joh. 15 16. Whatsoever ye shall a●k the Father in my name he will give it you For such things as he hath promised to give and we stand in need to receive Our prayers must be according to Gods Will. And this is according to the will of God that we ask what he hath promised and what he knows we have need of And this is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask any thing according to his will he heareth us 1 Joh. 5.14 The Parts of Prayer are 1. Confession or the acknowledgement of our sins and transgressions 2. Petition or the asking or craving from the hands of God such things as we want 3. Thanksgiving or the praising of God for the mercies we have received Q What shall be the state of men after death A. I. In general 1.

7.22 He delighteth in the Law of God after the inward man Q. What other Grace doth the Gospel require besides faith A. Repentance Mat. 3 2. and 4.17 Q What is Repentance A. Repentance is such a change of the heart as causeth a new Life Repentance chiefly consisteth in the change of the mind and heart of a man As for the new life it is an effect and evidence of the new heart A new heart causeth a new life The outward change and renovation of a mans life is necessary For Repentance must be in the whole man and this latter giveth evidence to the truth of the former And where the former is there the latter will also be where there is a renewed heart there will be a reformed life For the soul hath an absolute command over the body and the body is wholy governed by the soul. Q Whence ariseth Repentance A. 1. From a sight and sense of sin with sorrow for it 2. From a faith of the pardon of sin I. By sight of sin is meant both a general and also a paricular knowledge of sin First A general knowledge of the nature of it what it is and of the loathsome properties of it how ugly and odious it maketh us in the pure eyes of God and of the fearful effects of it which are all miseries in this life a cursed death and eternal damnation Secondly A particular knowledge of our own sins Not only of those sins which are common to the nature of all men as Original corruption proneness to evil dulness to good c. But also of such particular Lusts as we feel warring in our members and such actual sins as we have committed in our lives As he that said I was a blaspheamer and a persecutor and an oppressor 1 Tim. 1.13 By sense of sin is meant a spiritual feeling of the wofull plight and condition wherein we lye by reason of sin When inwardly in our souls and consciences we are touched and wounded for our sins II. Faith concerning the pardon of sin is that which most kindly and effectually bringeth a man to Repentance The forementioned sight and sense of sin and sorrow for sin are excellent means to work in a man an hatred of sin and to make him wish he had never committed it yea and to make him think of turning from sin But faith in the pardon of sin whereby the soul is perswaded that all sins past shall be fully forgiven to him that repenteth and turneth from sin is a strong Motive to draw him from his former wicked courses And the Repentance that is by faith in Gods mercy wrought is most kindly wrought For faith as it apprehends pardon of sin most freely through Gods mercy in Christ Jesus so it works repentance by way of gratitude because it is pleasing and acceptable to God to turn from sin and because the good God is displeased and dishonoured by committing sin and continuing therein Q What are the outward Means appointed by God for the working and strengthning of faith repentance and other graces in us A. The Ordinances of God especially the Word Sacraments and Prayer The Ministry of the Word is the most necessary both for the working and encreasing faith and other graces That which the Apostle saith of faith That it cometh by hearing may b● applyed to all other graces They come by hearing the Word Preached And to shew that by it grace also is nourished The Apostle Peter exhorteth To desire the sincere milk of the Word that they may grow thereby 1 Pet. 2.2 How doth it then concern us as to give diligent heed to the Ministry of the Word So to mix faith with our hearing as by giving credence to what is delivered out of the Word of God so by applying to our selves those truths which the Word revealeth Q. What is a Sacrament A. An holy Ordinance instituted by Christ wherein by outward signs inward grace is signified and sealed So that there are three things necessary to the making up of a Sacrament 1. An outward sign 2. An inward or spiritual grace 3. Christs Instituiton Q. How many Sacraments are there A. Two only Baptism and the Lords Supper As the Jews of old had two ordinary Sacraments which were circumcision and the Passeover So Christians now have two such as answer to them Baptism to Circumcision Col. 3.11 12. The Lords Supper to the Passeover Luk. 22.15 c. Q. What is Baptism A. A Sacrament wherein by the washing with water in the name of the Fa●her the Son and the Holy Ghost our Reg●neration is signified and sealed In that Baptism is a Sacrament of our Regeneration it sheweth 1. That by nature we are born in a cursed condition who have therefore need to be new-born assoon as we are born Regeneration is so absolutely necessary to our Salvation as without it we cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Iob. 3.3 2. That Baptism is a means of our Regeneration Gods Spirit in and by that Ordinance worketh this great work In which respect we are said to be born of water and of the Spirit Joh. 3.5 yet is not every one that is baptized really and inwardly regenerated It is not the bare washing with water but the working of the Spirit thereby by which we are Regenerated And the Spirit is a free agent and worketh when and upon whom it listeth Ioh. 3.8 Q. What is the outward sign in Baptism A. Water Act. 8.36 There is nothing so fit to set out our cleansing from sin as Water whereby that which is filthy is clean Q What is the inward thing signified by Water in Baptism A. The Blood of Christ. In relation hereunto Christ is said to have washed us from our sins in his blood Rev. 1.5 As Water hath a cleansing vertue so also hath Christs blood The blood of Iesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin 1 Joh. 1.7 Q. What is the Lords Supper A. A Sacrament of our spiritual nourishment wherein by receiving Bread and Wine according to Christs institution our communion with Christ is repr●sented and sealed The Lords Supper is add●d to Baptism as a needfull means to maintain that life of God which is begotten in us Q. What are the outward signs in the Lords Supper A. Bread and Wine Mat. 26.26 Q. What doth the Sacramental bread set out A. The body of Christ. This is evident by Christs own words who holding bread in his hands saith of it This is my body Matth. 26.26 that is by way of representation as if he had said This bread representeth my body Q. What doth Sacramental Wine set out A. The blood of Christ. This is evident by the words of institution where Christ holding the Cup that had the Wine in it and speaking of the Wine therein he saith This is my blood Mat. 26.27 Q What is signified by the Ministers breaking the bread A. That Christ was broken with torments for our sins The Apostle in 1 Cor. 11.24 Thus
beloved Disciple He that committeth sin is of the Devil that is he who gives up himself to the committing of sin is a servant and slave to the Devil for he doth his drudgery Oh that the eyes of poor sinners were opened to see who it is that puts them upon all manner of sin and wickedness Certainly they would not then be so ready and forward thereunto Oh that they did but know in what a miserable bondage and slavery they are Certainly then they would not be so merry and jovial neither would they sleep one night quietly in such a state and condition but they would be casting about how they might be freed and delivered from the same III. All men in their state of unregeneracy are under the curse of God which continually so hangeth over their heads that they are cursed in every thing 1. In their estate Wealth and Riches are in themselves good things even the good blessings of God but yet all the wealth of carnal and unregenerate men are accursed unto them their very blessings are turned into curses as the Lord threatneth by his Prophet Malachy saying I will curse their blessings Cursed they are and shall be in the City and in the Field in their Basket and in their Store in the increase of their Kine and in the flocks of their Sheep as you have it expressed Deut. 28.17 18. Though thou enjoyest abundance of this Worlds goods yet so long as thou livest in thy wicked and ungodly courses be it of lying swearing couzening whoring drinking and the like the curse of God is in thy store and abundance which makes way for thine eternal misery 2. In their names Their very name is cursed for as the Wise man speaketh The memory of the just is blessed but the name of the wicked shall rot that is the just and righteous shall leave a sweet scent behind them so that they shall not be mentioned without some commendation But the wicked shall leave a stinking savour behind them so that their very names shall be loathsome and abominable like a rotten carcass they shall for ●a while stink above ground and at last be utterly forgotten 3. In their houses For as the Wise man speaketh The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked Though their houses be never so well furnished yet what comfort and content can there be found therein when the curse of God is in them which is enough to blast the beauty and glory and to eat up the timber and the stones thereof 4. In their religious exercises The word which they hear is cursed unto them That which to others is the savour of life unto life to them is the savour of death unto death being a means to ripen their sins and hasten their ruine The prayers which they make are accursed unto them oft-times bringing down a curse rather than a blessing Yea the Table of the Lord is likewise accursed unto them so that instead of feeding on the body and blood of Christ they eat and drink their own damnation Oh how sad and lamentable must thy condition needs be when those things which are not only blessings in themselves but likewise blessed unto others should be cursed unto thee and heighten both thy sin and sorrow And if thy blessings become curses O what will thy curses be IV. As the ground and foundation of the curse All men in their state of u●regeneracy are under the guilt of all their sins which must needs make their condition sad and dreadfull For as the man is blessed whose iniquity is forgiven and whose sin is covered So is he most wretched and miserable who lyeth under the guilt of sin without pardon His Conscience b●ing oft-times tormented with such restless horrours and perplexities that though life be most sweet and hell most dreadfull yet it makes a man wilfully to cast away the one and willingly to embrace the other that he may be freed from the horrour of his guilty conscience Thus Iudas sought ease by an halter and preferred hanging yea the torments of Hell before the anguish of his guilty conscience Now thou maist make light of unpardoned sin thinking it no great matter But the day is coming when thou wouldst give all the world if thou hadst it for a pardon wh ich then cannot be had Therefore as ever thou wouldst stand before Christs judgement seat with comfort and not be cast into everlasting burnings now turn from thy sins and be earnest with God in Prayer for the pardon of them in and through the merits of Christs bloody death and passion Art thou a sinner and not a pardoned sinner O tremble What conscience hast thou that can let thee sleep and sing and laugh in such a dismal state V. Every man in his state of unregeneracy is liable to all sorts of judgements 1. To temporal judgements as pains sicknesses and diseases losses crosses and the like Haply for the present thou maist be without them but thou canst not promise thy self freedom and exemption from the same no not for one day for they are continually hanging over thine head ready every moment to seize upon thee and they oftentimes come suddenly when they are least expected It is expresly noted that when the Lord rained Fire and Brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah at that time the Sun was risen from the Earth Little did the Sodomites expect so strange a showr after so fair a Morning Believe it this dayes ease and rest and mirth may be turned into pangs and anguish and groanings and roarings before tomorrow 2. They are lyable to spiritual judgements as blindness of mind hardness of heart vileness of affections horrour of conscience and the like The Prophet Isaiah doth elegantly decipher the miserable condition of an unregenerate man in this respect The wicked saith he are like the troubled Sea when it cannot rest whose waters cast up mire and dirt The Sea is not only oft-times outwardly tossed up and down with winds and tempests but also inwardly disquieted even with her own motions casting up continually mire and dirt Even so the heart of a carnal man is not only many times outwardly troubled with crosses and afflictions but also inwardly disquieted with the impetuous violence of filthy lusts and the restless terrours and torments of a guilty Conscience which are far soarer than any outward afflictions as seizing upon the tenderest part namely the Soul and Spirit of a man 3. They are lyable to eternal judgements What can they expect if they dye in their state of unregeneracy but after this momentary life is ended to be cast into that everlasting fire which God hath prepared for them as well as for the Devil and his Angels which is the most dreadful condition of all that judgement cannot be accounted small which is eternal An eternal Feaver or but an eternal tooth-ache were a misery unspeakable But what are these to the lying in that
the Wise man The house of the wicked shall be overturned but the Tabernacle of the upright shall flourish And therefore the Psalmist pronounceth them blessed who thus fear the Lord saying Blessed is he that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes for thou shalt eat the labour of thine hand happy shalt thou be and it shall be well with thee How then can such expect a blessing from God either upon themselves or upon their relations or upon their pains and endeavours who do not set up God and his Worship in their houses seeing it is that whereby Gods blessing is entailed 2. Those Children and Servants who are religiously educated and principled are likeliest to prove comforts to their Parents and Masters What a comfort must it needs be to thee who art a Master of a Family to see thy houshold through the blessing of God on thy care and pains to be walking Heaven-ward Yea when thou comest to lye upon thy death-bed Oh what a comfort will it then be unto thee that thou hast good ground to believe that thy Children are Gods Children and the Servants of Jesus Christ thou maist then with stronger confidence commend them unto Gods Fatherly care and protection and with greater assurance expect Gods blessing upon them after thy death 3. There is no such means to make your Children loving and dutiful unto you and your servants faithfull in the discharge of their duty as to instruct them in the principles of Religion and to plant the fear of God in their hearts In which respect Solomon saith A godly Son maketh a glad Father viz. by his dutiful and respectfull carriage towards him And that servant who shall find true grace either first wrought or further increased in him by his Masters means will endeavour with the utmost of his power to do him what faithfull service he can in way of thankfulness So that if Parents and Masters of Families respect either that charge God hath laid upon them whereof they are to give an account to him at the great day or that good and benefit which themselves may reap thereby they will see good and just ground to be diligent and constant in the discharge of holy duties with their Family R. V. Another reason may be taken from the manifold mischiefs which usually follow and accompany the neglect of family duties 1. From hence come all Domestick brawls and contentions hence it is that the house is divided against it self Husband against Wife and Wife against Husband Master against Servant and Servant against Master Parent against Child and Child against Parent which would be prevented were the Lord better known and more duly worshipped amongst them For where God is served with perfect purity there is perfect peace But where God is not served there is no peace but jarrs and contentions strife and debate which giveth great advantage unto Satan the arch-enemy of mankind who like a roaring Lyon walketh about continually seeking whom he may devour 2. From hence it is that Magistrates are enforced to execute the penalties of the Laws upon so many namely because they are not Religiously educated but suffered to have their wills in their youth Which appeareth from the sad complaints of many malefactors at the place of Execution against their Parents and Masters for their careless omission of their duty towards them saying if they had had any care or conscience of our education if they had corrected and restrained us betimes from our wicked courses we had never come to this dogs-death and shamefull end 3. From hence it is that so many Families are so dissolute and prophane abounding with all manner of sin and wickedness as lying swearing Sabbath-breaking drinking whoring and the like as if there were a seminary of little Devils an houshold of fiends And truly when Families leave God in not doing the good they should God leaves Families to do the evil they should not So that sin hath there free place where Gods service hath no place And sins of commission do usually follow sins of omission it being ordinary with God to punish one sin with another to punish the neglect of duty with the committing of sin by leaving men so to themselves that they break forth into the committing of great and hainous sins A general complaint there is in these dayes of the undutifulness and disobedience of Children of the negligence and unfaithfulness of Servants yea and of the loose lewd lives of both in many Families whereof if we would search the true ground and cause we shall find it rather in the superiours than in the inferiours For howsoever inferiours cannot be excused yet questionless the fault is chiefly in superiours and Governours because they are careless and negligent in the discharge of their duty towards them not praying with them nor Catechising and instructing them as they should For where religious duties are shut out of any Family there usually the door is set wide open to looseness and profaneness 4. The neglect of Religious duti●s in thy Family will make thee guilty of Murther even of Soul-murther which is the greatest of all For whereas the Souls as well as the bodies of thy Children and Servants are committed to thy care and charge if any of them should perish through thy default thou art deeply guilty of their eternal death and damnation and their blood will be required at thy hands As Iacob was accountable to Laban for the ●oss of every Lamb or Sheep at his hand was it required So is every Master of a Family accountable to God for every soul under his roof If any of them perish through his default God will require it at his hands God will require the blood of thy Child the blood of thy Servants at thy hands one day If therefore you will be free from the blood of your Children train them up in the fear and nurture of the Lord pray for them and with them Catechize them c. The Point being confirmed by Scripture and Reason come we now to the Uses thereof CHAP. III. The Vse of Reproof of those Masters who make no Conscience of Family-duties Use 1. SEeing it is a Duty incumbent upon Parents and Masters of Families to be carefull that not only themselves but also all under their charge even their whole Family do faithfully serve the Lord then they are greatly to be reproved who are neither carefull to serve God themselves neither take they any care of their Family but as there is no fear of God in their hearts so neither is there any fear of God in their Families Yea instead of Gods service there is all manner of wickedness and prophaneness so that their houses are as so many filthy cages of unclean birds so many styes of all manner of abominations Of whose houses we may say what Solomon said of the Harlots house 'T is the way to Hell that is the high and ready way unto eternal
