Church of God which is at Philippi Mercy unto you and Peace from God Almighty and Jesus Christ our Saviour be multiplied I. I REJOICED with you greatly in our Lord Jesus Christ that ye entertained the patterns of true love and as became you conducted onwards those who were bound with chains which are the Ornaments of Saints and the Crowns of those that are the truly elect of God and of our Lord and and that the firm root of your Faith formerly published does yet remain and bring forth fruit in our Lord Jesus Christ who was pleased to offer up himself even unto death for our sins Act. 2.24 1 Pet. 1.8 whom God raised up having loosed the pains of death in whom though you see him not ye believe and believing ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory whereinto many desire to enter Eph. 2●8 knowing that by Grace ye are saved not by Works but by the Will of God through Jesus Christ II. 1 Pet. 1.13 WHEREFORE girding up your loins serve God in fear and truth forsaking empty and vain talking and the error wherein so many are involved believing in him who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead 1 Pet. 1.21 and gave him glory and a throne at his right hand to whom all things both in Heaven and in Earth are put in subjection whom every thing that has breath worships who comes to judge the quick and the dead whose bloud God will require of them that believe not in him But he who raised him up from the dead will raise up us also if we do his will and walk in his commandments and love what he loved abstaining from all unrighteousness inordainate desire 1 Pet. 3.9 covetousness detraction false witness not rendring evil for evil or railing for railing or striking for striking or cursing for cursing but remembring what the Lord said Matth ● 1 L●●e 6.36 37. when he taught thus Judge not that ye be not judged forgive and ye shall be forgiven be merciful that ye may obtain mercy with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again and that blessed are the poor Matt. 5 3.1● and they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of God III. THESE things Brethren I write to you concerning righteousness not of my own humour but because your selves did provoke me to it For neither I nor any other such as I am can attain to the wisdom of blessed and glorious S. Paul who being among you and conversing personally with those who were then alive firmly and accurately taught the word of truth and when absent wrote Epistles to you by which if you look into them ye may be built in the Faith delivered unto you which is the Mother of us all being followed by Hope and led on by Love both towards God and Christ and to our neighbour For whoever is inwardly replenished with these things has fulfilled the law of righteousness and he that is furnished with love stands at a distance from all sin 1 Tim. 6.7 But the love of Money is the beginning of all evil Knowing therefore that we brought nothing into the World and that we shall carry nothing out let us arm our selves with the armour of righteousness and in the first place be instructed our selves to walk in the commands of the Lord and next teach your Wives to live in the Faith delivered to them in love and chastity that they embrace their own husbands with all integrity and others also with all temperance and continency and that they educate and discipline their children in the fear of God The Widows that they be sober and modest concerning the Faith of the Lord that they incessantly intercede for all and keep themselves from all slandring detraction false witness covetousness and every evil work as knowing that they are the Altars of God and that he accurately surveys the sacrifice and that nothing can be concealed from him neither of our reasonings nor thoughts nor the secrets of the heart Accordingly knowing that God is not mocked we ought to walk worthy of his command and of his glory IV. LIKEWISE let the Deacons be unblamable before his righteous presence as the Ministers of God in Christ and not of men not accusers not double-tongued not covetous but temperate in all things compassionate diligent walking according to the truth of the Lord who became the Deacon or servant of all of whom if we be careful to please him in this World we shall receive the reward of the other life according as he has promised to raise us from the dead and if we walk worthy of him we believe that we shall also reign with him Let the Young men also be unblamable in all things studying in the first place to be chaste and to restrain themselves from all that is evil For it is a good thing to get above the lusts of the World seeing every Lust wars against the Spirit and that neither Fornicators 1 Cor. 6.9 10. nor effeminate nor abusers of themselves with mankind shall inherit the Kingdom of God nor whoever commits base things V. WHEREFORE it 's necessary that ye abstain from all these things being subject to the Presbyters and Deacons as to God and Christ that the Virgins also walk with a chast and undefiled conscience Let the Presbyters be tender and merciful compassionate towards all reducing those that are in errour visiting all that are weak not negligent of the Widow and the Orphan and him that is poor but ever providing what is honest in the sight of God and men abstaining from all wrath respect of persons and unrighteous judgment being far from covetousness not hastily believing a report against any man not rigid in judgment knowing that we are all faulty and obnoxious to punishment If therefore we stand in need to pray the Lord that he would forgive us we our selves ought also to forgive For we are before the eyes of him who is Lord and God Rom. 14.9 10. and all must stand before the judgment seat of Christ and every one give an account of himself Wherefore let us serve him with all fear and reverence as he himself has commanded us and as the Apostles have preached and taught us and the Prophets who foreshewed the coming of our Lord. Be zealous of that which is good abstaining from offences and false brethren and those who bear the name of the Lord in hypocrisie 1 Joh 4.3 2 Epist v. 7. who seduce and deceive vain men For every one that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is Antichrist and he who doth not acknowledge the martyrdom of the Cross is of the Devil and whoever shall pervert the Oracles of the Lord to his private lusts and shall say that there is neither resurrection nor judgment to come that man is the first-born of Satan Leaving therefore the vanity of many
