Scripture as may be seen Prov. 1. 6. and Chap. 25. 2. Eccles. Syr. 39. 1. Math. 13. 34. 35. 1 Cor. 13. 12. Even because the outward man hath onely an outward understanding and therefore can onely understand the outward and not the inward 1 Cor. 2. 14. 15. And therefore the Scripture was written in this Parabolical way that we from thence might take occasion to pass from the outward into the inward from the Body and Letter into the Spirit and by this means become Spiritual I have many years since communicated and discoursed the Contents of this Appendix to persons of several perswasions to try whether the same would be received and put in practice amongst any of them but they all with one accord told me that the same was impracticable and impossible forasmuch as none would be able to return an answer to all the questions which in case this way were introduced would be propounded and therefore must needs be the cause of numberless contests and disputes By which answer of theirs they tacitly acknowledge that they keep the Door fast lock'd which leads to the Steps of Wisdom Without any further considering whether it be likely that our Saviour or his Disciples could leave us any Commands but what were possible to be obeyed and put in practice c. Wherefore notwithstanding these discouragements and in hope that what hath not been done hitherto may be done and put in practice hereafter I have here briefly set down the same together with a short Introduction concerning the Education and Instruction of Children As also added Christ's Hundred Commandments of which by the constant use the Children may have them as it were engrafted in them by the careful and loving Mothers direction to read and write them over daily instead of their Horn and Coppy Books that so they may serve them all their Lives time for their true guides Which practice the Lord grant may tend to his most Holy Names Praise Honour and Glory CHRIST's Hundred Commandments c. 1. JEsus said unto him it is written again Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Mat. 4. 7. And Jesus answering said unto him it is said Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Luke 4. 12. 2. Then saith Jesus unto him get thee hence Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serve Mat. 4. 10. And Jesus answered and said unto him get thee behind me Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serve Luke 4. 8. 3. And said unto them that sold Doves Take these things hence make not my Fathers House a House of merchandize John 2. 16. 4. Marvel not that I said unto thee Thou must be born again John 3. 7. 5. But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him John 4. 23. 6. And saying the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand Repent ye and believe the Gospel Mark 1. 15. 7. Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the Temple and said unto him Behold thou art made whole Sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee John 5. 14. 8. Search the Scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testifie of me John 5. 39. 9. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your Father which is in Heaven Mat. 5. 16. 10. But I say unto you that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the Judgement and whosoever shall say unto his brother Racha shall be in danger of the Council but whosoever shall say Thou Fool shall be in danger of Hell fire Mat. 5. 22. 11. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed Adultery already with her in his heart And if they right eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not thy whole body should be cast into Hell And if thy right hand offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not thy whole body should be cast into Hell Mat. 5. 28 c. 12. But I say unto you That whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of Fornication causeth her to commit Adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth Adultery Mat. 5. 32. 13. But I say unto you Swear not at all neither by Heaven for it is God's Throne nor by the Earth for it is his Footstool neither by Jerusalem for it is the City of the great King Neither shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair black or white But let your communcation be Yea yea and Nay nay for whatsoever is more than these cometh of Evil Mat. 5. 34 c. 14. But I say unto you That ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also And if any man sue thee at the Law and take away thy cloak let him have thy coat also And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile go with him twain Mat. 5. 39. Luke 6. 27 29. 15. Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away Mat. 5. 42. Luke 6. 30. 16. But I say unto you Love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you Mat. 5. 44 c. Luke 6. 27 35. 17. Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect Mat. 5. 48. Luke 6. 35. 18. Take heed that you do not your alms before men to be seen of them otherwise ye have on reward of your Father which is in Heaven Therefore when thou dost thine alms do not sound a trumpet before thee as the Hypocrites do in the Synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward But when thou dost alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does Mat. 6. 1 c. 19. And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as the Hypocrites are for they love to pray standing in the Synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward But thou when thou prayest enter into thy Closet and when thou hast shut the door Pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly Mat. 6. 5 6. 20. But when ye pray use not vain repetitions as the Heathen do for they think they shall be heard for
by the way it will not be unworthy our remark that when Salt-petre men do first begin to boil their Salt-petre and have no mother of Salt-petre which is a ferment wherewith they ripen their Salt-petre they must then spend much time in boyling until the scum ariseth which is that they call the mother of Salt-petre and which afterwards they mix with their earth for to put the same into fermentation But when once they have got this mother then they dispatch their work with more case in like manner as we see that Bakers and Brewers do carry on their work with more ease and speed when they have got yest and leaven than they could do before when they had them not 4 Q. What is the nature and property of the second sort of Stones which of themselves without any addition are melted down into glass R. These shew that they do in part consist of a fixed Salt as in the following description and elucidation of the third sort of stones shall be declared 5 Q. What is it then we are chiefly to observe about the third sort of stones which do of themselves abide the fire but with addition are melted down to glass R. These stones as for example Chrystals of the Mountain Flints and all other fix stones are of this sort of which glass is made in this manner First these stones are made red hot in the fire and and then cast into the water by which means some part of the fire abiding in them makes them soft and friable that they may more easily be reduced to powder afterward this powder commixed with Salt is put into the fire that they may melt together and that it may melt more Salt must be added to it than the glass stands in need off for to render the fixt unfusible stone fusible When now this powder is molten it must be taken hot out of the oven or furnace and cast into cold water that it may be broken again and divided into small particles to the end the superfluous salt which is in it may in the water be separated from it The oftner this operation is repeated with the foresaid powder and the oftner it is put into the fire to evaporate the relicks of the Salt and is melted down again the better and purer will the glass be and become almost like to the unfusible Crystal of the Mountains From what hath been said we may gather these following observables First that Salt hath a very particular affinity and union with stones as proceeding both from one Mother wherefore when of them both an artificial Chrystal is made they become so united to one another that common water can no more separate the salt from the stone 2. We are likewise to consider that the forementioned stones which are as the body of the glass must contain a small part of unfusible Salt to which the common salt may joyn itself when with the stone it is melted down to glass and so in proportion unite itself with the stone in order to the reducing of it into glass as hath been mentioned The same also happens in Metals and Minerals when precious stones are artificially made of them 3. We are to take notice that in the making of glass the salt cannot be perfectly united with the stone because the operation is mechanical and not natural wherefore also by the addition of more salt the salt may be wholly separated from it and the glass be consequently reduced again into its former sand and salt 6 Q. Forasmuch as so great diversities and changes of stones are to be seen every where in the world and that they as well as the Rocks themselves contribute to the fruitfulness of the earth would it not be necessary to Treat more largely concerning them R. Yes and therefore for the Readers further satisfaction and information in this matter here shall begin a Dialogue with stones together with their answers to the questions propounded to them to the end that if any please they may carry on and finish the same for their own satisfaction seeing that it may be Mechannically or Mathematically demonstrated that the stones have an operative life in themselves from whence all sublunary Creatures derive their corporeal and united essence from which they cannot be separated The stones then were questioned in manner as follows 1 Q. Were you stones so created at the begining And have you always been such as you are at present viz. as you are commonly reputed to be dead or lifeless things R. If thou desirest to know us and our essence then thou must be able well to understand our way of Reasoning and Speech for we were created to bring forth all living Sublunary Creatures and to give them a body for we are the Earth which is made of the Heavens and the end of our working is that in a continual Revolution with increase and multiplication we may become Heavenly again as may be seen in the History of our Creation Gen. 1. 10 11 12. that all things stand in a wise order and try whether by thy utmost skill and endeavour thou canst find out one Sublunary Creature be it of what kind it will that either hath been or is now at present which did not receive its Corporeal Essence from us or can be without us or that doth not stand and abide in continual union with us 2 Q. Whence is it then that men say you are dead R. Consider all our operation and working and so thou wilt be taught to understand thine own Axiom the better and find more truth in it viz. Corruptio unius est Generatio alterius the Corruption of one thing is the begetting and bringing forth of another thing For the fields will in part declare thus much to thee that when they have given forth their strength in corn they must then for some time lye fallow until they be mortified again and get new strength 3 Q. Are the Stones and Rocks then the very same as ye were created from the beginning in all your parts without alteration Or are ye continually and without ceasing renewed in all your parts so as that ye stand in need of constant food and nourishment for your maintenance and growth as other Creatures do R. Thou dost answer thy self for we are not God but Creatures as well as all others that have their original from us as our Children How can it be then that we should be immutable and not need as well as they to be renewed by food from the air and water 4 Q. Do ye Stones and Mountains every where continue as ye were from the beginning always in the same form and figure or are not ye also subject to mortification so that in some places ye become leveld to the ground and turned into valleys R. Go and make an observation and inspection into many and divers places of the earth but especially in the midst of Europe where as it were the Navel of it
their much speaking Be not ye therefore like unto them for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him Mat. 6. 7 8. 21. After this manner therefore pray ye Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our Debts as we forgive our Debtors And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom the Power the Glory for ever Amen Mat. 6. 9 c. 22. Moreover when ye fast be not as the Hypocrites of a sad countenance for they dis-figure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast Verily I say unto you they have their reward But thou when thou fastest anoint thy head and wash thy face Mat. 6. 16 c. 23. Lay not up for your selves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break thorow and steal But lay up for your selves treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal Mat. 6. 19 20. 24. No man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other Ye cannot serve God and Mammon Therefore I say unto you Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink nor yet for your body what ye shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment Mat. 6. 24 c. 25. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you Mat. 6. 33. 26. Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Mat. 6. 34. 27. Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful Luke 6. 36. 28. Judge not that ye be not judged Mat. 7. 1. Luke 6. 37. 29. For with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again Mat. 7. 2. Luke 6. 38. 30. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye Or how wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye Thou Hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brothers eye Mat. 7. 3 c. 31. Give not that which is holy unto dogs neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rent you Mat. 7. 6. 32. Ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you Mat. 7. 7. 33. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them for this is the Law and the Prophets Mat. 7. 12. Luke 6. 31. 34. Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be that go in thereat Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it Mat. 7. 13 14. 35. Beware of false Prophets which come to you in Sheeps cloathing but inwardly they are ravening Wolves Ye shall know them by their fruits Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles Mat. 7. 15 c. Luke 6. 43 c. 36. And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I say Luke 6. 46. Mat. 7. 21. 37. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Take my Yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easie and my burden is light Mat. 11. 28 c. 38. Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest I will say unto the reapers Gather ye together first the tears and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn Mat. 13. 30. 39. But go ye and learn what that meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice For I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance Mat. 9. 13. 40. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send for labourers into his harvest Mat. 9. 38. 41. Labour not for the meat which perisheth but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life which the Son of man shall give unto you for him hath God the Father sealed Then said they unto him What shall we do that we might work the work of God Jesus answered and said unto them This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he hath sent John 6. 27. c. 42. Then Jesus said unto them Verily verily I say unto you except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood ye have no life in you John 6. 53. 43. For God commanded saying Honour thy Father and Mother and he that curseth Father and Mother let him die the death Mat. 15. 4. Mark 7. 10. 44. Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into the ditch Mat. 15. 14. 45. Then Jesus said unto them Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Saduces Mat. 16. 6. Mark 8. 15. 46. And when he had called the people unto him with his Disciples also he said unto them Whosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me Mark 8. 34 c. Luke 6. 23 c. 47. And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them and said Verily I say unto you except ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Mat. 18. 2 c. Mark 9. 36 37. Luke 9. 47 48. 48. Wo unto the world because of offences for it must needs be that offence cometh but wo to that man by whom the offence cometh Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee cut them off and cast them from thee it is better for thee to enter into life halt and maimed rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire And if thine eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye rather than having two eyes to be cast into Hell fire Mat. 18. 7 8 9. Mark 9. 43 c. 49. Salt is good but if the salt have lost his saltness wherewith will ye
season it Have salt in your selves and have peace one with another Mark 9. 50. 50. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones for I say unto you that in Heaven their Angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven Mat. 18. 10. 51. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone if he shall hear thee thou hast gained thy brother But if he will not hear thee then take with thee one or two more that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established And if he shall neglect to hear them tell it unto the Church but if he neglect to hear the Church let him be unto thee as an Heathen man and a Publican Mat. 18. 15 c. 52. Then came Peter to him and said Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him till seven times Jesus saith unto him I say not unto thee until seven times but until seventy times seven Mat. 18. 21 22. 53. Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgement John 7. 24. 54. He that believeth on me as the Scripture hath said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water John 7. 38. 55. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believ'd on him if ye continue in my word then are ye my Disciples indeed And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free John 8. 31 32. 56. Notwithstanding in this rejoyce not that the spirits are subject unto you but rather rejoyce that your names be written in Heaven Luke 10. 20. 57. What is written in the Law how readest thou And he answering said Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind and thy Neighbour as thy self And he said unto him Thou hast answered right this do and thou shalt live Luke 10. 26 c. 58. Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves And he said He that sheweth mercy on him Then said Jesus unto him Go and do thou likewise Luke 10. 36 37. 59. But rather give alms of such things as you have and behold all things are clean unto you Luke 11. 41. 60. But wo unto you Pharisees for ye Tithe Mint and Rue and all manner of herbs and pass over judgement and the love of God these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone Luke 11. 42. 61. In the mean time when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people insomuch that they trod one upon another He began to say unto his Disciples first of all Beware ye of the Leaven of the Pharisees which is Hypocrisie For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed neither hid that shall not be known Luke 12. 1 2. 62. And I say unto you my friends be not afraid of them that kill the body and after that have no more that they can do But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell yea I say unto you fear him Luke 12. 4 c. 63. And he said unto them Take heed and beware of coveteousness for mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth Luke 12. 15. 64. Fear not little flock for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom Luke 12. 32. 65. Sell all that ye have and give alms provide your selves bags which wax not old a tresure in the Heavens that faileth not where no thief approacheth neither moth corrupteth Luke 12. 33. 66. Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning and ye your selves like unto men that wait for their Lord when he will return from the wedding that when he cometh and knocketh they may open unto him immediately Luke 12. 35 36. 67. When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding sit not down in the highest room lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee Give this man place and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room But when thou art bidden go and sit down in the lowest room that when he that bade thee cometh he may say unto thee Friend go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee Luke 14. 8. c. 68. Then said he also to him that bade him When thou makest a dinner or a supper call not thy friends nor thy brethren neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbours lest they also bid thee again and a recompence be made thee But when thou makest a feast call the poor the maimed the same the blind Luke 14. 12 13. 69. If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren yea and his own life also he cannot be my Disciple And whoever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my Disciple Luke 14. 26 27. 70. So likewise whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath he cannot be my Disciple Luke 14. 33. 71. And I say unto you Make to your selves friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness that when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations Luke 16. 9. 72. Take heed to your selves if thy brother trespass against thee rebuke him and if he repent forgive him And if he trespass against thee seven times a day and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying I repent thou shalt forgive him Luke 17. 3 4. 73. In that day he which shall be upon the house top and his stuff in the house let him not come down to take it away and he that is in the field let him likewise not return back Luke 17. 31. 74. And he spake a Parable to them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint Luke 18. 1. 75. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh What therefore God hath joyned together let no man put asunder Mat 19. 5 6. Mark 10. 8 9. 76. But Jesus said Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven Mat. 19. 14. Mark 10. 14 15. Luke 18. 16 17. 77. And he said unto him Why callest thou 〈◊〉 good there is none good but one that is God 〈◊〉 if thou wilt enter into life keep the Command ments Mat. 19. 17. 78. But Jusus called them unto him and said Ye know that the Princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them and they that are great exercise authority upon them but it shall not be so among you but
whosoever will be great among you let him be your minister and whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant Mat. 20. 25 c. Mark 10. 43 c. 79. If any man serve me let him follow me and where I am there shall also my servant be if any man serve me him will my Father honour John 12. 26. 80. And Jesus said unto him Yet a little while is the light with you walk while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth While ye have the light believe in the light that ye may be the Children of light These things spake Jesus and departed and hid himself from them John 12. 35 36. 81. And Jesus answering said unto them Have faith in God For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou â—emoved and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith Therefore I say unto you What things soever ye desire when ye pray believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them Mark 11. 22. 82. They say unto him Caesars Then saith he unto them Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods Mat. 22. 21. Mark 12. 16. Luke 20. 25. 83. Jesus said unto him Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with thy soul and with all thy mind This is the first and great Commandment Mat. 22. 37 38. Mark 12. 30. 84. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy self Mat. 22. 39. Mark 12. 31. 85. Saying the Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses's seat All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe that observe and do but do not ye after their works for they say and do not Mat. 23. 37. 86. And he said unto them in his Doctrine beware of the Scribes which love to go in long cloathing and love salutations in the market place Mat. 23. 4 5. Mark 12. 34. Luke 20. 46. 87. But be not ye called Rabbi for one is your Master even Christ and all ye are brethren And call no man your father upon earth for one is your Father which is in Heaven Neither be ye called master for one is your Master even Christ Mat. 23. 8 9 10. 88. And Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my Name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet Mat. 24. 48 c. Mark 13. 28 c. Luke 13. 8 9. 89. But take heed to your selves for they shall deliver you up to councils and in the Synagogues ye shall be beaten and ye shall be brought before Rulers and Kings for my sake for a testimony against them But when they shall lead you and deliver you up take no thought before-hand what ye shall speak neither do ye premeditate but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour that speak ye for it is not ye that speaketh but the Holy Ghost Mat. 24. 10. Mark 13. 9 11. Luke 21. 12 c. 90. In your patience possess ye your souls Luke 21. 19. 91. Wherefore if they shall say unto you Behold he is in the desert go not forth behold he is in the secret chambers believe it not Mat. 24. 26. 92. And take heed to your selves lest at any time your hearts be over charged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that day come upon you unawars Luke 21. 34. 93. Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man Luke 21. 36. 94. If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet ye also ought to wash one anothers feet For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you John 13. 34 c. 95. A new Commandment I give unto you That ye love one another as I have loved you that ye also love one another By this shall all men know that ye are my Disciples if ye love one another Simon Peter said unto him Lord whither goest thou Jesus answeâ—ed him Whither I go thou canst not follow me now but thou shalt follow me afterwards John 13. 34 35. 96. If ye love me keep my Commandments John 14. 15. 97. And as they eating Jesus took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to the Disciples and said Take eat this is my Body Mat. 26. 26. Mark 14. 22. Luke 22. 19. 98. And he took the Cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of it for this is my Blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins Mat. 26. 27 28. Mark 14. 23 24. Luke 22. 20. 99. Abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine no more can ye except ye abide in me John 15. 4. 100. Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you to the end of the world Amen Mat. 19. 20. Mark 16. 15. Here follows the Cure of the Crooked and Hunch-back'd Children which was promised in the Second Part and is performed very Naturally and without trouble to the Patient FOrasmuch as it is a thing well known that Women are much more handy about Children than Men I have communicated the same to one Mrs. Sarah Matthews Widdow of Capt. Matthews and to her Daughter dwelling both in Capt. Risbie's Buildings in Limehouse near Ratcliff-Cross London and have directed them how to prepare all things necessary to the said Cure as judging them fit and qualified for the same as well by reason of their great inclination and desire they had to this Undertaking as also because I found in them a skill in Anatomie very necessary to the undertaking of this employment Now in the carrying on of this Cure three things especially are made use of First A Bed whereon the Patient is to lie at Night Secondly A Chair for to sit on in the day-time And then Thirdly A Mathematical Chair whereby the continual decay of Crookedness or of the Bunch may be measured and distinctly discerned First As to what concerns the Bedstead the same must be made of Wood and two foot longer than the Patient and the bottom of it of even and smooth plained boards and the head also of the like boards half a yard high to which must be
