Good Counsel To be had at a Cheap RATE Wherein is contained many excellent matters which are very needful to be had in consideration amongst all sorts of people that are now living in England Scotland Wales and IRELAND Note it well and refuse not Good Counsell Rom. 11.33 34. O the depth of the Riches both of the wisedome and knowledge of God how unsearchable are his judgements and his wayes past finding out For who hath known the mind of the Lord or who hath been his Counseller Thou that to read this Title doth begin Turn over leaf and see what is within Printed for W. Gilbertson at the sign of the Bible in Gilt spur-street 1663. To the READER IF thou desirest good counsel for to learn bestow some time this little Book to read Here good from bad with ease you may discern if in thy reading thou dost take good heed This Book such excellent vertues doth contain Hardly the like 's in all the world again It shews how first of all the world began which wondrous matter is by Scripture provd It shews why and wherefore the Lord made man and being made how dearly God him lov'd It shews of what mans soul was made at first And how God breath'd into the corps of dust Also good counsel here is laid up in store of which most men are now in extream need Let every one make trial now therefore the more you take the better you may speed If friends and kinsfolks do forsake ●eave thee Good counsel is a friend will ne'r deceive thee THE AVTHOR To the READER SPare not my Book to tell what 's to be done Flatter no man but sound instruction give Teach all men how Gods anger they may shun And in a conscionable way to live Speak truth to all there 's no man wil thee blame But highly will commend thee for the same Dear friends the beginning of my Bo●k is of Matters concerning the beginning of the WORLD which if you will be pleased to peruse and take good notice of it may through Gods blessing yield and procur● consolation to the soul satisfaction to the mind and comfort to the body and thus it begins IN the beginning GOD created the Heaven the Earth Gen. 1.1 And the Earth was without Forme and void and Darkness was upon the face of the deep and th● 〈◊〉 GOD moved on the sac●●● the waters and said Let there be Light and there was Light And God saw the Light that it was good And God divided the Light from the darknesse And God called the Light Day and the Darkness he called Night and the evening and the morning was the first day no it follows in the fifth verse The second day God made the firmament and divided the waters from the dry Land and he called the Firmament Heaven as it is in the 8 verse of the same Chapter The third day God having divided the water God made the Earth that it should bring forth Grasse and the Trées that they should b●ing forth fruit whose seed was in it self and God saw that all that was done was good The fourth Day God made the two great Luminaries or Lights which are called the Sun and the Moon The great Light he appointed to rule by day and the lesser by night He made the stars also and placed them in the Firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night that it was good The fifth day God made the fishes of the sea the Fowls of the air the Beasts of the earth and every créeping worm and Creature that was then upon the ground and God saw that it was good ver 25. but all this while man was not yet made Then God the Father said as we may conceive to God the Son and the Holy Ghost Let us make man in our own Image after our own likeness Gen 1.26 and so uhen the sixth day God created man in his own Image and likeness created he them M●le a●d Female Moreover when the Lord had made man in that goodly form and fashion of his own Likeness he loved him and took such affection to him that he made him Lord and ruler over all that he had made before both of the Fishes of the Sea the Fowls of the Air the Beasts of the field and the like And thus dear friends have I expressed the manner of the beginning of the world according as it was set down by Moses the Pen-man of the holy Ghost And now let us draw into consideration to know wherfore God made man why thus certainly it is to be believed that as God made all other Creatures to serve and obey man so he made man to obey his Lord and Master Therefore my counsel is this that every man and every Woman that is living and breathing upon the face of the Earth may with unfeigned hearts and with all reverence and humility lift up their hands and eyes toward heaven where Gods throne is and render him thanks for the manifold and numberless gifts that he hath already bestowed upon us and to praise his Name for the Blessings which we enjoy at this present time and withal to make our continu ● prayers and supplications unto the Lord God of heaven earth that he will never be unmindfull of no and let his blessings be part from us while the Sun Moon and Stars give ligh● and ●ill the whole world shall be dissolved Furthermore we are to consider that when God created man be formed him of the dust of the earth and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul Gen. 2.7 Here is a plain and caste rule whereby to know what the Soule of man is for before that the LORD had breathed into him the breath of life man was not said to be a living soul but after God had breathed in him the breath of life man became a living soul by which we may assure our selves that the soul of man is the breath of God in part another thing to be considered felloweth and th●s it is When God created Man he made him two ears to hear two eyes to sée two hands to work two féet to walk or go upon but one Soul and that Soul of man is of more value than ten thousand Worlds Therefore my counsell is to every one that they have a great care of that precious Iewell which is held at so high a rate I mean the Soule of man it is the breath of God therefore kéep it safe It is that which preserves thy bodies life whilst thou liv'st on Earth therefore use it well it is that which our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ shed his most precious blood to save us therefore take héed thou lose it not In a word the Soul is that part of man and woman that first goes to Heaven if ever they come there therefore remember what is said and bear it in mind
