A96969	A short view of the principal duties of the Christian religion with plain arguments to perswade to the sincere and speedy practice of them : to which is added, a prayer suited to the whole, to be used morning and evening / by a divine of the Church of England for the use of his parishioners.

Experience both confirming this as an undeniable Truth that the Hand of the Diligent maketh Prov. 10. 4. rich So that when all is done 't is most certainly the best Husbandry to be Religious Thirdly I would further urge you to the Practice of the forementioned Duties from the great Assistances that are given us to render them not only easie but pleasant to us For God has recommended them to our faithful Observance with all the most powerful Means and Arguments to engage our Practice of them he has shewed thee O Man what is Good and what does the Lord require of thee but to do Micah 6. 8. Justly and to love Mercy and to walk humbly with thy God He has not only proposed these Duties to us in the Gospel with the Promises and Terrors of the Life that now is and of that 1. Tim. 4. 8. 1 which is to come with the Examples of the best of Men especially with that more pregnant one of our Blessed Saviour together with all those prevalent 1 Pet. 2. 21. Motives arising from what he did and suffered for us with those mighty Arguments that may be drawn from his Life Death Resurrection Ascention and his Return to judge both the Quick and the Dead with Pleasure and Peace from the Nature of the Duties themselves Ps 119. 165 and with all the Endearments of Love and Kindness from him that enjoins them he not only urgeth us I say to our Duty upon these many and weighty Considerations and that with all the Importunity possible to gain our Practice but has also promised the Assistance of his Almighty-Spirit to make all things 1 Cor. 2. 12. easie and pleasant to us So that if we do but set our selves in good earnest to the Practice of the forementioned Duties if we do but heartily beg the Divine Grace which we are assured shall be sufficient for us and then apply 2 Cor. 12. 9. our own Endeavours in a faithful and diligent use of it 't is impossible that we should fail of Success for I can do all things says the Phil. 4. 13. Apostle through Christ that strengthens me And this Omnipotent Assistance we may have upon the easie terms of putting up a Petition for it for God has engaged to give the holy Spirit to them that ask him And what more easie condition Luke 11. 13 can we desire than this that If we seek we shall find if we ask we shall receive receive too that which Mat. 7. 7. though we cannot of our selves will yet impower us through our joint Endeavours to do our Duty with Pleasure and Delight and so render us both happy here and hereafter too for This In the 4th and last Place is or ought to be a further Inducement to our Practice of all the Duties of Religion because God has made our Duty the indispensable Condition of our future Mat. 7. 21. Rom. 8. 13. Happiness and as I shewed you in the â—eginning of this Discourse the necessary Preâ—aration Heb. 12. 14 1 Tim. 4. 8. for it So that 't is just as necessary â—or us to be Religious or to do our Duty as â—t is to go to Heaven or to keep out of the â—lames of Hell And this ought to be a Conâ—deration of great Weight with us because â—hatever our Condition be in the other World Whether a happy or a miserable one it must Luke 16. 26 2 Pet. 1. 10. â—e so for ever so that we had need give all Digence to make our calling and Election sure Thus having I hope by these Considerations â—onvinced you of the Necessity of doing the â—orementioned Duties my next Work is to tell â—ou that what is thus necessary to be done at â—ne time or other had best be done now out Eccles 9. 10. â—f hand And indeed unless we set our selves â—â— the immediate Practice of these Duties is plain that we are not heartily convinced â—f the Necessity of doing them at all Because â—ur continuance in our Sins do too manifestly â—rove our Good-liking to them and if we â—â—ll approve and cherish them we are not â— good Earnest reconciled to the Practice of â—â—e contrary Duties because we can neither â—pprove of two different things nor act two â—ifferent ways at the same time So that if â—â—ve be the Servants of Sin as our Intentions â—o continue in it for a while plainly shew â—e cannot be the Servants of Christ Either thereâ—ore we must quit our Sins and our favourable â—â—oughts of them immediately upon the Spot â—r else foregoe our Intentions to fall to the â—ractice of Religion some Years hence â—or he that is a true Convert is suppoâ—â—d to be perfectly convinced of the Mischiefs â—f his Sin and the reasonableness of his Duty â—â—d therefore immediately strikes in with his â—â—st Conviction which by being full and clear â—revents him making those little Shifts and friâ—olous Excuses which others take sanctuary in â—â— excuse their Delay of this necessary Work Though with what little or rather against what great reason may be made appear from the following Considerations First 'T is extreamly necessary that Men immediately betake themselves to their Duty because it is as appears from what hath been already said of very great Concern and Consequence to them and what is so we are apt in other Cases to bestow our first and chiefest Care upon Thus we see in wordly Affairs how every prudent Man is more especially careful to drive on what he calls the main Chance is at little ease till this be secured or at least is in a fair way of being so Now would but the Children of Light be as wise in their Generation Mat. 5. 33. as the Children of this World are they would be as sollicitous about the Concerns of their Souls as these Men are of their Bodies They would no more delay securing the Life of the one than these men do of the other when it lyes at Stake which if any Man should be so fool-hardy as to nelect and by that Neglect lose his Life which his care would have saved he would be deservedly thought to die like a Fool. And certainly much more would that Christian deserve the Imputation of Folly who when his eternal Interest is in Danger shall yet suffer it to continue so and not exert his utmost Endeavours for the Security of it and consequently embrace the first Occasion to secure it in especially considering in the Second Place that the Nature of Religion is such as requires a great deal at our hands before it gives us any Right or Title to that great and necessary Reward without which we are undone for ever our sensual Appeties must be subdued the Deeds of the Body mortified Rom. 8. 13. Eph. 2. 22 23 24. Col. 3. 2. our Desires resigned our Affections weaned from this World and raised to the things above in short our Minds must be transformed â—â—om
