Ierusalem nor have rested in the worship of the calves had they not been perswaded that they worshipped God in them Q. What is added to this Precept in the new covenant A. That we do not onely abstain from adoring images but also utterly avoid them and fly from them See 1 Iohn 5. 21. Little children keep your selves from idols 1 Cor. 8. and chap. 10. 14. wherefore my beloved brethren fly from Idolatry Q. In what manner are idolls to be avoided A. By being absent from those places where images are worshipped and not partaking of those things that are consecrated to them as it doth clearly appear out of those places which was a little before quoted Q. what is the third Precept A. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain Q. What is it to take name of God in vain A. To call God to record in false matters Q. What is added to this Precept under the new covenant A. First that we may call to record not onely God but also Christ inasmuch as the Lord Christ searcheth the hearts and reins Rev. 3 13. next that it is n●● only unlawfull for us to forswear our selves but to swear at all unlesse it be in most weighty matters and such wherein the glory of God is concerned and then it must not be done rashly but with great fear of God and singular caution Q. Where is is written concerning this matter A. Matt. 5. 33 34. And ye have heard that it was said to them of old thou shalt not forswear thy self but thou shalt pay thy vows to the Lord and concerning which matter see also what is written Iam. 5. 12. Q. Since the Lord forbiddeth to swear at all how prove you that it is lawfull to swear in most grave and weighty matters A. That word at all hath not such a sence as if it were not lawfull at all to swear in any case whatsoever for it is opposed to voluntary oaths and such as proceeded from lightnesse such as the law of Moses did not forbid if they were true whereas our Saviour Christ opposeth his doctrine to that of Moses in this point besides we read that the apostles have sworn as Rom. 1. 9. 2 Cor. 1. 23. and chap. 11. 31. Phil. 1. 8. 1 Thes 2. 5. 10. 1 Cor. 15. 31. but to take away all scruple concerning the forequoted place Mat. 5. 33. 34. c. let it be well considered whether it be not here spoken of such paths wherein a man promiseth that he will do something and are therefore called promissary oaths which though lawfull under the law do by these words of Christ seem to be altogether forbidden unto Christians under the Gospel see also the other forecited place Iames 5. 12. which giveth light hereunto Q. Why should the Lord Iesus forbid us to swear voluntarily and lightly even in the things that are true A. That the name of the most high God and of our Lord Jesus Christ should be in the greater veneration again lest by levity of swearing we should learn to forswear our selves Q. Is it lawfull to swear by others besides God and Christ A. At no hand for neither hath God given to any other besides Christ to search the heart and reins Q. What is the fourth Precept A. Remember to keep holy the Sabboth day c. Q. What think you of this Precept A. That it is taken away under the new covenant as well as other ceremoniall observations Q. Why was it inserted into the Decalogue A. That it might appear that the chiefest part of the Mosaicall Law was not perfect and a hint might thereby be given that a far perfecter Law should succeed in room of Moses Law namely the Law of our Lord Jesus Christ Q. Did not Christ institute that we should celebrate the day commonly called the Lords day instead of a Sabboth A. By no means since the Christian Religion as it taketh away other ceremoniall observations so also the difference of dayes see Coll. 2. 16. but forasmuch as we see the Lords day to be of old celebrated by Christians we permit the same liberty to all Christians Q. What is the fifth Precept A. Honour thy Father and Mother c. Q. VVhat is it to honour our Parents A. To be obedient to them in all things which are not repugnant to the word of God and to shew all thankfullnesse to them for the benefits we have received from them Ephes 9. 1 2. 1 Tim. 5. 4. Q. But what is the duty of Parents A. That they do not provoke their children but educate them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Eph. 6. 4. Coll. 3 21. Q. What is it to provoke children A. To chastise them without cause or exceed measure in chastising them or alwayes to pursue ones right and forgive nothing to them for by these means children are discouraged But the Apostle injoyneth that Parents provoke not their children lest they be discouraged Q. VVhat is it to educate them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord A. To introduce them into the wayes of the Lord and the obedience of his commandements both by pious conferences and exhortations and examples and example and conversation see Deut. 11. 19. where there is a singular Precept concerning this matter that parents talk with their children about the law of God at morning and at even and not onely at home but also when they are abroad when they are in their Journey Q. VVhat hath the Lord Iesus added this Precept A. There seemeth nothing added hereunto Neverthelesse whatsoever is delivered in the new covenant concerning Subjects and Magistrates wives and husbands servants and Masters seemeth referrible hereunto by reason of the mutuall duties that are between them as between parents and children Q. What is the duty of Subjects towards the Magistrate A. To obey the Magistrate not onely for fear but for conscience to pay him tribute and custome to honour and fear him Q. What is the Office of the Magistrate A. To acknowledge their power given them by God for the defence of good men and terrour of wicked men see Rom. 13. 1 2 3 4 5. Q. What is the duty of wives toward their Husbands A. That they be obedient to their Husbands in all things as the Church is to Christ and that they fear their Husbands Ephe. 5. 24 33. 1 Pet. 3. 5. Col. 3. 18. Q. What is the duty of Husbands towards their Wives A. That they love them as Christ loved the Church and as their own bodies and give honour to them as to the weaker vessels and do not rage against them See Ephes 5. 25 28. Col. 3. 19. 1 Pet. 3. 7. Q. What is the duty of Servants towards their Masters A. To obey their Masters with fear and trembling and sincerity of heart as Christ not giving eye-service as Men-pleasers but as servants of Christ doing the will of God from their hearts with good-will serving the Lord and
