THE EPITOME OF DIVINITY Poetically compos'd by way of Dialogue for the more easie and pleasant learning and retaining of it in memory OR A summary Abstract of Divine Knowledge as farre as is necessary to SALVATION Intended for the benefit of all and especially for the Education of Youth in the Knowledge and Feare of God By WALTER FRANKE Minister of Gods Word John 5. 39. Search the Scriptures for in them ye have eternall life and they are they which testifie of me LONDON Printed by J. G. for Francis Eaglesfield at the Marigold in St. Paul's Church-yard 1655. To the Right VVorshipfull and Vertuous Lady the Lady ANNE BASSET and to the like Vertuous and Religious Gentlewom●n Mrs. Jane and Mrs. Elizabeth Basset HOnoured Ladies I am not ignorant that ingratitude is a sinne of an high nature and none more base and monstrous lest therefore I should seeme to you guilty of that crime which I have alwaies in my heart so much abhorred I have now taken an opportunity to expresse my thankfulnesse for the manifold favours and benefits which in the depth of my afflictions I have received from you And no other way have I really to expresse it but by the dedication of this little Book to your Ladiships acceptance which if you shall condescend to patronize as your former respects unto me makes me confident you will I shall rather increase than any way lessen my engagements to you The structure of it being so small and low may in the eyes of some seem contemptible in respect of those large and faire buildings of like nature that by others of farre richer endowments have been erected yet as you have often seen the whole world described in a little Map or the lively portraicture of a tall Man or Woman in a Shillings compasse so is here although I must confesse for the manner but rudely contrived yet for the matter the whole body of Divinity contained in a small Epitome which being so little and weake as it hath the more need of succour so it may with the more facility from your Ladiships favour receive protection I know you will take the paines often to peruse it because I am well assured that each of you doe spend some houres every day in Religious duties and perusing it I doubt not but you will apply it to the edification and adorning of your owne Soules to Gods glory and your owne eternall comfort which that you may doe and daily increase in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ shall be the prayer of Your most obliged Servant in the Lord Walter Franke. To the Reader COurteous and well-disposed Reader if so thou art it was the saying of him who by the Spirit of God himselfe is said to be a man after Gods owne heart even David that great King and sweet singer of Israel I have rejoyced in the way of thy testimonies above all riches Psal 119. 14. And againe Psal 19. 10. Th●y are more to be desired than gold yea than much fine gold sweeter also than the Hony or the Hony combe with many such exp●essions of like nature in the same Psalme And will you know the reason of this his transcendent esteeme of them you may then thus collect it As in the whole visible World there is nothing of more excellency than Man and in Man nothing more excellent than the Soule and in the Soule nothing more excellent than the Understanding and in the Understanding nothing more excellent than Wisdome so most certain it is that no Wisdome that the Understanding is capable of is so excellent as the Wisdome from above or the Knowledge of Divine things which commonly we call Christian Divinity for whether we have respect to the Causes the Effects the Subjects the Objects the Adjuncts or the ends thereof it farre exceeds all the Arts Sci●nces Knowledge or Wisdome that the World affords The result therefore of all is that it behoves every man that aymes at eternall happinesse not onely most highly to est eme it but also in some good measure to attaine unto it And therefore gentle Reader although many have written divers excellent and ample Volumes of the whole body of Divinity yet as a mite cast into the treasurie I hope thou wilt accept of this my weake endeavour for thy Soules good as an instrument conducing unto that end It is indeed but as a little Infant in comparison with the tallest Man yet thou maist discerne it has its full shape as well as hath the greatest and Scripture enough to prove it to be Legitimate and therefore as I doe commend it to thy charitable censure hoping thou wilt not despise it for the smallest of its growth so I doe no lesse desire that thou maist fully improve it to thy owne advantage and to this end I could wish thou wouldst make it thy vade mecum or thy pocket companion that so in the end by committing it to memory it may to thy comfort become thy bosome friend or as an hid treasurie in thy heart that may helpe to maintaine thee in thy journey to the Heavenly Jerusalem that so although it be but little yet if by a faithfull application thou make much of it at last thou maist finde it to grow great in thy Soule to thy everlasting comfort and therefore doe not onely cast an eye upon it and so lay it by but take the paines to reade it through It is but an houres labour or a little more deliberately to view it over which being done if then thou lik'st it Quo animo legis observa quo observas serva as one saith well with what affection thou readest it observe it and with the same affection thou observest it remember it and remember to practice it and withall turne often to the Scriptures that for the confirmation of those truths do stand in relation to each part of it which being often revolved in thy minde will much advantage thee in the knowledge of God and of his revealed will So God shall be glorified thy Understanding enlightned thy Faith strengthned and so consequently thy Soule for ever comforted And that so it may be is and shall be the prayer of him who is thy Soules true friend Walter Franke.
