POINTS Of INSTRVCTION for the Ignorant As also An Exposition on the ten Commandements and the Lords Prayer by Questions and Answeres WITH An Examination before our comming to the Lords TABLE AND A short Direction for spending of Time well By ROBERT HORNE The Second Edition much enlarged LONDON Printed by George Purslowe for Francis Burton and are to bee sold at his shop at the signe of the Greene Dragon 1617. To the CHRISTIAN Reader the sauing knowledge of that truth which is according to godlinesse CHRISTIAN Reader this short Catechism thus gathered set downe for the help of the ignorant cannot be called new but renewed for their sakes For I may say in this case as Salomon in his Ecclesiastes sayd 〈◊〉 a like case What is that that hath been that that shal be And what is that that hath been done that that shall be done and there is ●…o new thing vnder the Sunne The portion of meate which is heere offered to the taste of the simple is no other then that which he hath already tasted of if hec haue tasted any thing of the things of God and it is but the substance of other Cat●…chisms set before him in another kinde of seruice that is with some difference of Cookery and dressing which considering our too great distaste with one kinde of meate though neuer so wholsome if wee be continually fedde with it without diuersitie may not be without some good vse at least for some short time For the affections of men stand no lesse diuersly affected towards the variety of Gods gifts in deliuering one and the same matter then doth the stomake toward the dressing of one and the same kind of meate in a diuers manner by some-alteration of forme and manner of doing it And yet it is 〈◊〉 part of my meaning to hold vp the market of no●…lty by 〈◊〉 s●…ch eye-seruice as te●…deth rather 〈◊〉 tickle the care then to satisfie the s●…der iudgement or to say any thing for those who make bookes like to the apparell which they weare 〈◊〉 fashio●…s that they are weary of when a ●…wer comes Only hauing taught these Principles most of them 〈◊〉 a few pri●…tely and finding it more easie to print them then to write them ●…or the surer keeping of them in their memories who had leared them and the good of 〈◊〉 abroad that desired them I was not vnwilling thus to giue them content by the benefit of the ●…resse and of p●…ting Neither haue I done this for any w●…nt for there is store of Catechisms abroad to which this worme of mine is no way comparable and God hath 〈◊〉 mercif●…ll with our age for the meanes of knowledge but we famish spirit●…lly at the ful measure of these 〈◊〉 either by 〈◊〉 vsing them 〈◊〉 all or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sh●…ld This 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 I could haue made 〈◊〉 larger but that I c●…sidered 〈◊〉 my Cruse of st●… the Vessels that I had to fill which could 〈◊〉 well recei●… more and so left pouring as I per●…ed their filling Accept therefore Reader what is here offered to thy gentlenesse and take it in 〈◊〉 good part as it is meant vnto thee And so I 〈◊〉 thee and thy gro●…th in 〈◊〉 to the grace 〈◊〉 assist●…ce of Almighty God and rest 〈◊〉 in all Christian good will ROBERT HORNE POINTS of Instruction for the Ignorant WHat is true happinesse To know God and to know my selfe Can you knowe God Not so plainely and fully here as we shall hereafter by face but as he hath reuealed himself vnto vs. How is that By his workes without vs and within vs and by some description ●…f his nature and effects in his word How doth the VVord describ●… him Generally thus I am that I am And more particularly thus a Spirit euery way infinite goodnesse it selfe Creatour Prese●…er and Ruler of all things

What doe you consider in man thus fallen 〈◊〉 reco●…ry to saluation and duty for it What say you of his recouery It may be considered in the worker thereof or the meane of ●…ding it What say you of the worker The worker or substance of it is Christ Iesus the Sonne of God who in Mans nature which hee tooke in the wombe suffered the death of the cro●…e and 〈◊〉 the Law for all that receiue him VVhat is the meane whereby Christ is apprehended Faith which is a speciall perswasion of Gods sauour in his Word wrought in my heart by the h●…ly Ghost whereby I doe truely and in particular bele●…ue that Christ is made vnto mee wisdome righteousne●…e sant●…cation and redemption When doth this faith begin to breed and take place in your heart When by Gods grace I begin to be touched in conscience for
