which may regenerate us into a better life by which thy Name may be hallowed thy Kingdom come thy Will be done c. And altho we are not worthy to open our mouths unto thee for our selves and to call upon thee in our necessities yet since it hath pleased thee to command us to pray one for another we pray thee for all our poor Brethren and Fellow-members whom thou dost visit with the Rod of thy correction beseeching thee to turn thine Anger from them and more especially for N. N. that it may please thee Lord to remember they are thy Children as we are and altho they have offended thee yet cease not to extend thy wonted goodness and mercy towards them which thou hast promised should continue for ever to all thy faithful Look down with pity we beseech thee upon thy whole Church and People at this time afflicted by War Pestilence or Famine and also upon all persons which do suffer by Sickness Imprisonment or Poverty comfort them all according to their several Necessities make them to profit by thy Correction endue them with patience and let not thy whole Displeasure arise against them but in the end deliver them and cause them fully to rejoice in thy goodness and to bless thy Name Especially that it may please thee to look down upon all and every one of those who do labour in the defence of thy Truth strengthen them with invincible constancy protect and assist them however dispersed or distressed defeat all the Plots Practices of their thy Enemies restrain their fury and confound all their wicked attempts against thee and the Members of thy Church let not thy Inheritance be brought to desolation nor suffer the memory of thy Name to be abolished permit not those to perish who call upon thy Name nor the Turks Pagans or any other Infidels to rejoice in blaspheming of thee Then followeth a part of the Sundays Prayer wherein they pray for the King and the Royal Family c. The FORM of Administration of Baptism It is to be observed that those Children which are to be Baptized ought to be brought on the Lord's Day at the time of Catechising or on some other days of Preaching to the end tha● Baptism being a solemn Reception into the Church i● should be performed in the presence of the Congregation At the end of the Sermon they present the Children and then the Minister begins to say OUR help is in the Name of God who hath made Heaven and Earth Amen Do you present thi● Child to be baptized Ans Yes The Minister Our Lord shews us what Poverty and Misery we are all born in telling us we must be born again for if our Nature must be renewed that we may have an entrance into the Kingdom of God it is a sign that it is wholly corrupt and evil in that he admonishes us to humble and dislike our selves and so he prepares us to desire and seek after his grace by which all the Depravity and Corruption of our Original state may be abolished for we are not able to receive it before we are void of all confidence in our own goodness Wisdom and Righteousness so as to disclaim all that is in us Now when he makes us sensible of our misery he likewise comforts us by his mercy promising to regenerate us by his holy Spirit into a New Life which may be to us a an entrance into his Kingdom This Regeneration consists in Two Points 〈◊〉 That we should deny ou● selves and not follow ou● own Reason Will an● Pleasure but submit ou● Understanding and Heart to the Justice and Wisdo● of God and that we should mortify all that is in us and our Carnal Lusts 2. That we should follow the Light of God to please him and to obey his Will and good pleasure as he teacheth us by his word and leads us thereto by his Spirit The fullfilling of both these is in our Lord Jesus Christ whose Death and Passion hath such Vertue that in our partaking thereof we are dead to sin that our Carnal Lusts may be mortified likewise by the Vertue of his Resurrection we do rise from sin unto a new and godly life seeing his Spirit governs and leads us to do such works as are acceptable unto him Now the first and chief Point of our Salvation is that he by his mercy pardoneth all sins not imputing them unto us but blotting out the memory of them that they may not stand in judgment against us all these Graces he confers upon us when it pleaseth him to incorporate us into his Church by Baptism for in this Sacrament he declareth the Remission of our sins and therefore he ordained the sign of the Water to represent unto us that as by this Element our bodily filth and Pollutions are cleansed so he will wash and purifie our Souls that they may be without blemish Moreover he there represents to us our Regeneration which consists as before instanced in the Mortification of our flesh and in the Spiritual Life which he produceth in us Thus we receive a double benefit from God in Baptism if we do not make the vertue of this Sacrament of none effect by our Ingratitude First We have thereby a real assurance that God will be our gracious Father in not imputing our sins and offences to us And Secondly That he will assist us by his holy Spirit that we may be able to fight against the Devil Sin and the Lusts of our flesh until we obtain Victory over them that we may get Freedom in his Kingdom which is the Kingdom of Righteousness and Justice therefore seeing that these two things are thus wrought in us by the grace of Jesus Christ it followeth that the vertue and substance of Baptism is comprehended in ou● Saviour and we indeed can no otherwise be cleansed than by his Blood nor renewed but by his Death and Resurrection but as he communicates his Riches and Blessings to us by his Word so he distributes them unto us by his Sacraments Now our good God hath not only been pleased to adopt us for his Children and receive us into the Communion of his Church but also hath more abundantly extended his goodness towards us in promising that he will be our God and the God of our Posterity unto a thousand Generations therefore tho the Children of the Faithful be of the corrupted Seed of Adam yet he receives them by the vertue of that Covenant into the Number of his own therefore he would heretofore that in his Church the Children should receive the sign of Circumcision figuring thereby the same as is now represented unto us in Baptism and as he did command that they should be Circumcised so he did also own them for his Children calling himself their God as he was the God of their Fathers Now therefore as our Lord Jesus did not come down from Heaven to lessen the Grace of God his Father but to enlarge
