Book 1 CAre first my sonne your God to know and loue Which rules all things from azurde skies aboue Who as he hath you brought to glorious throne Of regall state aboue the rest alone So doeth he still expect of you iustly Redoubled thankes from heart vnfainedly 2 Thinke not you may more boldly sinne imbrace Because you sit aloft in royall place But knowe because you are a Prince of fame That vice must not disgrace your Princely name A Princes fault though small each man doth scorne When subiects hainous faults are lightly borne 3 On Princes God doth glorie great bestowe Aboue their subiects farre in fame to flowe Hereby declaring plaine as in a glasse That they in vertues must all other passe Their vertuous life to all must cast a light As candles cleere doe shine in darkesome night 4 First striue for knowledge of your God to haue And next his feare in heart sure to engraue As Salomon doeth teach in words full plaine From thence the surest treasures you shall gaine Your kingly duties here on earth to frame And be a Christian true in deed and name 5 The path that doth direct you to the place Where you may learne to sway your kingly mace Is sacred Scriptures which both read and heare Search out and learne them with true Christian feare And pray to God your senses so to guide That from true sense thereof you neuer slide 6 Let your affections framde by natures mould Peruerse and vile directly keepe and hold The sacred steppes of Oracles diuine From sense whereof doe not a jot decline Wrest not the same to serue your wicked will Like Puritanes who so the Scriptures spill 7 Two things doth holy writ chiefly containe First good to doe then euill to refraine And both obaid must be with all your heart Doe good things well from euill doe depart And thinke it not enough t' abstaine from sinne Vnlesse you practise good and ioy therein 8 This errour vile let not your heart assaile Which doth with too too many men preuaile Although you haue perform'd good deedes before In former times and eke of those good store Yet as a cloake you may not them pretend To sinnefull acts sometimes to condiscend 9 Gods seruice pure which he of vs demands In two degrees or duties duly stands By faithfull praier to inuocate his name And next in righteousnes our liues to frame These twaine to practise right from conscience pure To God and man is our best seruice sure 10 Hold this for truth an axiome sure and sound That that religion which is surely found In sacred holy writ doth pure remaine All points thereon not grounded are but vaine And all things els contrarie to this word Account them vile and eke to be abhord 11 Two parts the sacred Scriptures doe containe The Law describing sinne to sinners plaine And Iustice due to sinne the Gospel then The ground whereof is Christ who sinnefull men Deriued right from Adams sinnefull race From death redeemes and offers freely grace 12 Gods lawes hath precepts tenne laid for his ground Whose sense doth Moses more at lardg expound And Prophets doe the same at large dilate Describing plaine ech persons iust estate Denouncing blisse to such as doe obay But endlesse paines to such as goe astray 13 The word of grace th' Euangelists vnfold Wherein the wonderous birth of Christ is told His life his death his resurrection And last to heauen his ascension The vse whereof to euery Christians viewe Th'Apostles sent as commentors to shew 14 Desire you for to know your sinnes alas Which by the lawe appeare as in a glasse Read Moses books a cōment would you haue His workes t' expound the Prophets graue Peruse and workes which Salomon the wise The patterne great of wisdome did deuise 15 The books of kings and Chronicles oft read There you your mind with stories may wel feed There gouernment is seene of kings of olde There shall you see your selfe to be inrold In Catalogue of kings that liued well Or of such as in lewdnesse did excell 16 Desire you for to know what Christ hath taught His life his death what miracles he wrought Th' Euangelists to read then take in hand His will yet would you further vnderstand Th' Apostles writings read which will you traine In Christ his schoole true wisdome to attaine 17 Read holy writte with sanctified mind Where hidden truth you cannot plainly find Such places doe with reuerence admire Your shallowe wittes which cannot well aspire To sense diuine controll read places plaine With ioy let intricat be wonne with payne 18 Lay hold on faith that faith surely embrace That apprehends Gods free eternall grace By Christ perswading you still to apply His promise to your soule vndoubtedly This faith religion feedes this life doth giue And this by holy word and prayer doth liue 19 Let all your praiers for substance be the same Which Christ our sauiour did first for vs frame And Dauids psalmes who beeing king could tell By practise wantes of worldly princes well He knew what might at high Iehouahs hand Be craued best and what he would withstand 20 Pray ofte when mind is not with troubles prest But chieflie when you are in bedd at rest In secret to your God see then you pray Though oft you haue performed this by day For publike prayer doth more example shew Then yeeld to him that prayeth comfort true 21 Request of God not things spirituall Alone but sue sometimes for temporall Sometimes with greater things sometimes with lesse Desire that he would you vouchsafe to blesse That so enioying oft your full request Your faith thereby confirm'd may surely rest 22 If God in praier giue you good
