My good Child know this that thou art not able to do these things of thy self nor to walk in the Commandments of God and to serve him without his special Grace which thou must learn at all times to call for by diligent Prayer Let me hear therefore if thou canst say the Lords Prayer Ans Our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdome come Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily Bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Amen Quest What desirest thou of God in this Prayer Ans I desire my Lord God our heavenly Father who is the giver of all goodness to send his Grace unto me and to all People that we may worship him serve him and obey him as we ought to do And I pray unto God that he will send us all things that be needfull both for our Souls and Bodies and that he will be mercifull unto us and forgive us our sins and that it will please him to save and defend us in all dangers ghostly and bodily and that he will keep us from all sin and wickedness and from our ghostly enemy and from everlasting death And this I trust he will do of his mercy and goodness through our Lord Jesus Christ And therefore I say Amen So be it Quest How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church Ans Two only as generally necessary to Salvation that is to say Baptism and the Supper of the Lord. Quest What meanest thou by this word Sacrament Ans I mean an outward visible Sign of an inward and spiritual Grace given unto us ordained by Christ himself as a means whereby we receive the same and a pledge to assure us thereof Quest How many parts are there in a Sacrament Ans Two the outward visible Sign and the inward spiritual Grace Quest What is the outward visible sign or form in Baptism Ans Water wherein the person is baptized In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Quest What is the inward and spiritual Grace Ans A death unto sin and a new birth unto Righteousness for being by nature born in sin and the children of wrath we are hereby made the children of Grace Quest What is required of persons to be baptized Ans Repentance whereby they forsake sin and Faith whereby they stedfastly believe the promises of God made to them in that Sacrament Quest Why then are Infants baptized when by reason of their tender age they cannot perform them Ans Because they promise them both by their sureties which promise when they come to age themselves are bound to perform Quest Why was the Sacrament of the Lords-Supper ordained Ans For the continual remembrance of the sacrifice of the death of Christ and of the benefits which we receive thereby Quest What is the outward part or sign of the Lords-Supper Ans Bread and Wine which the Lord hath commanded to be received Quest What is the inward part or thing signified Ans The Body and Blood of Christ which are indeed taken and received by the faithfull in the Lords Supper Quest What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby Ans The strengthning and refreshing of our Souls by the Body and Blood of Christ as our bodies are by the Bread and Wine Quest What is required of them who come to the Lords Supper Ans To examine themselves whether they repent them truly of their former sins stedfastly purposing to lead a new life have a lively faith in Gods mercy through Christ with a thankfull remembrance of his death and be in charity with all men When the Sacrament comes every fourth moneth to be administred for any of the Divisions above mentioned the respective Church and Chappel-Wardens thereof are desired to give timely notice unto a fitting number of Servants and Children within the same to be catechised on the Sacrament Day for the said Division or on some other day of that Moneth Thus the care of this needfull exercise will be more equally shared among them and the duty it self more constantly performed And the better to observe an Order in thus calling the Youth to Catechizing in the said Divisions it may be convenient to begin in the Higher End of each of them and so to go by House-rows as much as may be through the whole taking a convenient number of Families at a time Concerning Personal Instruction THe like course so far as it shall be found convenient may be used concerning Personal Instruction whereby as the younger sort in several Families come to the Church to be catechized so the elder People in the same or the like number of Families may come to the Ministers house or he go to theirs to discourse with him in a plain familiar way of the most necessary Gospel Truths and Christian duties which most nearly concern Gods honour and worship and our eternal Salvation To this purpose we may improve the Church Catechism or the following Profession of Faith and Catechism consisting but of 12 Questions and Answers endeavouring fully to understand and to practice the things therein

Concerning the Sick FIrst When thou findest thy self visited with sickness thou art presently to remember that it is God who with rebukes doth chasten Man for sin and therefore let thy first care be to find out what it is that provokes him to smite thee and to that purpose examine diligently thine own heart and ways and confess thy sins humbly and penitently unto God begging most earnestly his Mercy and Pardon in Christ Jesus and putting on sincere and zealous Resolutions of forsaking every evil way for the rest of that time which God shall spare thee Secondly That your own Heart deceive you not in this so weighty a business which is for Eternity it will be your Wisdom before your Disease prevail too much upon you to send for some godly Divine your own Minister especially under whose care you live and who may be best acquainted with your Condition using his help to settle your Conscience aright and to make your Peace with God And to that end open your heart so freely unto him that he may be able to judge whether your Repentance be such as may give you Confidence to appear before Gods dreadfull Tribunal and if it be not that he may help you what he can towards the making of it so Thirdly Let it be remembred that there is also a Private Communion of the Sick which People generally are so far from seeking after that though we often and earnestly desire them they are but few comparatively who as S. James enjoyns Ch. 5. 14. Call or send for the Elders of the Church or Ministers of Religion to pray with or over them and to perform such other Duties belonging to the Visitation of the Sick as may fit them if they recover for a more holy Life or if they die for a more happy Death Lastly Take notice that I have not here set down any Prayers for the Sick as is usually done in such Books of Devotion because I would have Neighbours oftner to acquaint me with their sickness in order to my Visiting of them And then as occasion shall require I shall be ready to help them to such Prayers and Meditations as may be sutable to their Condition which they may make use of in my absence Grace before Meat O God be mercifull unto us and bless us and injoying of these thy Gifts give them strength to nourish us and us Grace to serve and please Thee through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen After Meat Gods holy Name be blessed and praised for these and all other his Benefits vouchsafed unto us he save his Church our King Queen and these Realms comfort the afflicted and send us Peace in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen A short Grace before Meat O God bless these thy good Creatures unto our use and us unto thy service through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen After Meat We praise thee O God for these and all other thy Mercies bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Or this Enable us O God with thankfull hearts to live in the strength of these thy Mercies to thy Praise and Glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Children or Servants may be taught to say the larger or at least the shorter of these Graces when Parents or Family-Guides please not to do it themselves It is a duty of daily Practice to own and praise God as being the Authour and Giver of all our outward Enjoyments and to crave his Blessing upon them It is very unseemly for Christians to go to their Meals like brute creatures we are taught better by the Holy Scriptures S.
