After this manner therefore pray ye Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our Debts as we forgive our Debtors And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom the Power the Glory for ever Amen Mat. 6. 9 c. 22. Moreover when ye fast be not as the Hypocrites of a sad countenance for they dis-figure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast Verily I say unto you they have their reward But thou when thou fastest anoint thy head and wash thy face Mat. 6. 16 c. 23. Lay not up for your selves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break thorow and steal But lay up for your selves treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal Mat. 6. 19 20. 24. No man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other Ye cannot serve God and Mammon Therefore I say unto you Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink nor yet for your body what ye shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment Mat. 6. 24 c. 25. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you Mat. 6. 33. 26. Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Mat. 6. 34. 27. Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful Luke 6. 36. 28. Judge not that ye be not judged Mat. 7. 1. Luke 6. 37. 29. For with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again Mat. 7. 2. Luke 6. 38. 30. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye Or how wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye Thou Hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brothers eye Mat. 7. 3 c. 31. Give not that which is holy unto dogs neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rent you Mat. 7. 6. 32. Ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you Mat. 7. 7. 33. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them for this is the Law and the Prophets Mat. 7. 12. Luke 6. 31. 34. Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be that go in thereat Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it Mat. 7. 13 14. 35. Beware of false Prophets which come to you in Sheeps cloathing but inwardly they are ravening Wolves Ye shall know them by their fruits Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles Mat. 7. 15 c. Luke 6. 43 c. 36. And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I say Luke 6. 46. Mat. 7. 21. 37. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Take my Yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easie and my burden is light Mat. 11. 28 c. 38. Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest I will say unto the reapers Gather ye together first the tears and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn Mat. 13. 30. 39. But go ye and learn what that meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice For I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance Mat. 9. 13. 40. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send for labourers into his harvest Mat. 9. 38. 41. Labour not for the meat which perisheth but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life which the Son of man shall give unto you for him hath God the Father sealed Then said they unto him What shall we do that we might work the work of God Jesus answered and said unto them This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he hath sent John 6. 27. c. 42. Then Jesus said unto them Verily verily I say unto you except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood ye have no life in you John 6. 53. 43. For God commanded saying Honour thy Father and Mother and he that curseth Father and Mother let him die the death Mat. 15. 4. Mark 7. 10. 44. Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind And if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into the ditch Mat. 15. 14. 45. Then Jesus said unto them Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Saduces Mat. 16. 6. Mark 8. 15. 46. And when he had called the people unto him with his Disciples also he said unto them Whosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me Mark 8. 34 c. Luke 6. 23 c. 47. And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them and said Verily I say unto you except ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Mat. 18. 2 c. Mark 9. 36 37. Luke 9. 47 48. 48. Wo unto the world because of offences for it must needs be that offence cometh but wo to that man by whom the offence cometh Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee cut them off and cast them from thee it is better for thee to enter into life halt and maimed rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire And if thine eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye rather than having two eyes to be cast into Hell fire Mat. 18. 7 8 9. Mark 9. 43 c. 49. Salt is good but if the salt have lost his saltness wherewith will ye
it is commonly known that water in several places as in Mountains and Rocks is changed into stones so here we find it changed into sand Furthermore Experience teacheth us that in Mountains and Rocks the water which continually mounts upwards from the Quick-sand is still changed into many different sorts of sand and stones The same may also be perceived in Mines when the Miners have gone very deep to search for Metals that though the Rock hath been so hard that it would not suffer it self to be cut with any steel Instrument but the Miners have been forced to break it down or burst it asunder by fire and yet in those very Stones that were thus broke off with Instruments a water hath been found within which went through and through them and was their food and nourishment and could be distilled from them in great quantity Again we find that Firr-trees do grow upon hard high and smooth shining Rocks where they have no Earth at all and yet that they do not die or wither notwithstanding that their root is onely fastened to the stony Rock so as the very ends and extremities of the said roots may be seen as not having the least Earth to cover them From whence we gather that these Trees must draw the moisture which feeds and makes them to grow out of the said stony Rocks This Wood also which grows upon such high Rocks is of great use to many purposes as is well known to the experienced Makers of Musical Instruments that the Firr-wood which comes from the high Mountains of Tyrol is far better to make the belly of their Musical Instruments than other sort of wood for that the Firr-trees and all strait Timber that hath had its growth from out of the mortified Rocks are more airy and partake more of the nature of those Rocks and consequently give a better sound And here by the way it will not be amiss to take notice that the Seed of these Trees is not lost or annihilated by their being burnt down on the ground where they stand but that they are meliorated and increased by means of their being burnt by fire forasmuch as it hath been found by experience that after the burning down of several whole Woods and many high-grown Firr-trees all the said ground which was of a considerable extent hath been afterwards over grown and fill'd with innumerable Burch-trees and all that onely from the ashes of the said Firr-trees which Metamorphosis the Ancients have alluded to and intimated to us by their Fable of the Phaenix This self-same water to return to our former matter mounts up from the Quick-sand through the pores of the Earth to a vast heighth as hath been said just as the sap and moisture of a Tree mounts up from the root to the very top of it spreading it self through the whole body and all the branches and boughs thereof And like as Joyners find by daily experience that wood changeth as it grows and is not the same at the top as it is beneath so Stone-cutters likewise find the same in the stones of the Mountains and Rocks viz. that they have several changes and various differences notwithstanding that it be all but one continued piece Likewise as the Sap or nourishing Juice of a Tree doth change both its nature and taste as it mounts from the root to the top-branches so also it is found in the Mountains for the self-same life and the same regent power is in the Mountains and Rocks which are found to be in Trees which Life for its food and nourishment takes in several sorts or various kinds of moistures or waters and gives them out again that is manifesteth them in their bodies and the parts which they grow into and produce according to the proportion and measure of every part and member of its body Moreover also forasmuch as it may easily be observed how a Tree or Vegetable consists of divers various parts which are not all the same as for example the Roots the Trunks or Bodies the Branches Leaves Flowers Fruits c. yea what more is the same sort of parts as for example the Leaves of one and the same Plant do all of them differ each from other as may be proved by observation of any two Leaves of a Tree or Plant which will be found to have differing Veins or nourishing Vessels which in their texture and distribution are not alike c. Like as Man who in his Body hath divers Members Bones Nerves and Bloud though all his parts be nourished with one and the same Bloud yet we find that the Sweat which comes out through the pores of his Body hath its peculiar distinct smell in every part of the same And in like manner doth the Water of the Earth and Mountains differ also 3 Q. From what hath been already mentioned we may understand and conclude that the Water and Quick-sand are the foundation of the Earth and that the Water as the common Mother of all sublunary Bodies being produced by the Moon and Stars doth bring forth the Quick-sand and maintain the same and afterwards through the Quick-sand which is born of it and together with the same by a continual alteration and multiplication brings forth several sorts of Stones and Rocks So that from hence we may conclude according to what hath already in part been mentioned concerning the Sun Moon and Stars as likewise of the Air that the universal Spirit of the World by means of a continual Revolution and multifarious Glorification doth work out it self to perfection that so in like manner in this Sand and Water there is a continual Revolution in order to melioration and exaltation and that the said Catholick Spirit rules and works as well in this water and sand as above in the celestial Lights and the Air as also that there is a spiritual operative life in both these the sand as well as the water That such a spirit and life is in the water hath been made out before in the discourse about the Nocturnal Luminaries it remains therefore to query how it can be evidenced that this spirit and life is in the sand also R. This appears very clearly of it self for if the Sand had no life in it how could it move it self in and with the water as hath been shewed before that out of this Sand making water sand is produced by distillation and propagates itself in so fruitful a multiplication through stones and other things whose source and original it is forasmuch as the Life doth consist in this motion and out-working as in part hath been already shewed that it doth The same may likewise plainly be seen by spreading some of the said Sands upon a black Table and considering them through a Microscope for so we shall find that every grain of this sand hath a different shape and figure so as not one of them is like another from whence we may undoubtedly conclude that as every one of
whosoever will be great among you let him be your minister and whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant Mat. 20. 25 c. Mark 10. 43 c. 79. If any man serve me let him follow me and where I am there shall also my servant be if any man serve me him will my Father honour John 12. 26. 80. And Jesus said unto him Yet a little while is the light with you walk while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth While ye have the light believe in the light that ye may be the Children of light These things spake Jesus and departed and hid himself from them John 12. 35 36. 81. And Jesus answering said unto them Have faith in God For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou â—emoved and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith Therefore I say unto you What things soever ye desire when ye pray believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them Mark 11. 22. 82. They say unto him Caesars Then saith he unto them Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods Mat. 22. 21. Mark 12. 16. Luke 20. 25. 83. Jesus said unto him Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with thy soul and with all thy mind This is the first and great Commandment Mat. 22. 37 38. Mark 12. 30. 84. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy self Mat. 22. 39. Mark 12. 31. 85. Saying the Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses's seat All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe that observe and do but do not ye after their works for they say and do not Mat. 23. 37. 86. And he said unto them in his Doctrine beware of the Scribes which love to go in long cloathing and love salutations in the market place Mat. 23. 4 5. Mark 12. 34. Luke 20. 46. 87. But be not ye called Rabbi for one is your Master even Christ and all ye are brethren And call no man your father upon earth for one is your Father which is in Heaven Neither be ye called master for one is your Master even Christ Mat. 23. 8 9 10. 88. And Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my Name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet Mat. 24. 48 c. Mark 13. 28 c. Luke 13. 8 9. 89. But take heed to your selves for they shall deliver you up to councils and in the Synagogues ye shall be beaten and ye shall be brought before Rulers and Kings for my sake for a testimony against them But when they shall lead you and deliver you up take no thought before-hand what ye shall speak neither do ye premeditate but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour that speak ye for it is not ye that speaketh but the Holy Ghost Mat. 24. 10. Mark 13. 9 11. Luke 21. 12 c. 90. In your patience possess ye your souls Luke 21. 19. 91. Wherefore if they shall say unto you Behold he is in the desert go not forth behold he is in the secret chambers believe it not Mat. 24. 26. 92. And take heed to your selves lest at any time your hearts be over charged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that day come upon you unawars Luke 21. 34. 93. Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man Luke 21. 36. 94. If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet ye also ought to wash one anothers feet For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you John 13. 34 c. 95. A new Commandment I give unto you That ye love one another as I have loved you that ye also love one another By this shall all men know that ye are my Disciples if ye love one another Simon Peter said unto him Lord whither goest thou Jesus answeâ—ed him Whither I go thou canst not follow me now but thou shalt follow me afterwards John 13. 34 35. 96. If ye love me keep my Commandments John 14. 15. 97. And as they eating Jesus took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to the Disciples and said Take eat this is my Body Mat. 26. 26. Mark 14. 22. Luke 22. 19. 98. And he took the Cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of it for this is my Blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins Mat. 26. 27 28. Mark 14. 23 24. Luke 22. 20. 99. Abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine no more can ye except ye abide in me John 15. 4. 100. Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you to the end of the world Amen Mat. 19. 20. Mark 16. 15. Here follows the Cure of the Crooked and Hunch-back'd Children which was promised in the Second Part and is performed very Naturally and without trouble to the Patient FOrasmuch as it is a thing well known that Women are much more handy about Children than Men I have communicated the same to one Mrs. Sarah Matthews Widdow of Capt. Matthews and to her Daughter dwelling both in Capt. Risbie's Buildings in Limehouse near Ratcliff-Cross London and have directed them how to prepare all things necessary to the said Cure as judging them fit and qualified for the same as well by reason of their great inclination and desire they had to this Undertaking as also because I found in them a skill in Anatomie very necessary to the undertaking of this employment Now in the carrying on of this Cure three things especially are made use of First A Bed whereon the Patient is to lie at Night Secondly A Chair for to sit on in the day-time And then Thirdly A Mathematical Chair whereby the continual decay of Crookedness or of the Bunch may be measured and distinctly discerned First As to what concerns the Bedstead the same must be made of Wood and two foot longer than the Patient and the bottom of it of even and smooth plained boards and the head also of the like boards half a yard high to which must be

Even because the outward man hath onely an outward understanding and therefore can onely understand the outward and not the inward 1 Cor. 2. 14. 15. And therefore the Scripture was written in this Parabolical way that we from thence might take occasion to pass from the outward into the inward from the Body and Letter into the Spirit and by this means become Spiritual I have many years since communicated and discoursed the Contents of this Appendix to persons of several perswasions to try whether the same would be received and put in practice amongst any of them but they all with one accord told me that the same was impracticable and impossible forasmuch as none would be able to return an answer to all the questions which in case this way were introduced would be propounded and therefore must needs be the cause of numberless contests and disputes By which answer of theirs they tacitly acknowledge that they keep the Door fast lock'd which leads to the Steps of Wisdom Without any further considering whether it be likely that our Saviour or his Disciples could leave us any Commands but what were possible to be obeyed and put in practice c. Wherefore notwithstanding these discouragements and in hope that what hath not been done hitherto may be done and put in practice hereafter I have here briefly set down the same together with a short Introduction concerning the Education and Instruction of Children As also added Christ's Hundred Commandments of which by the constant use the Children may have them as it were engrafted in them by the careful and loving Mothers direction to read and write them over daily instead of their Horn and Coppy Books that so they may serve them all their Lives time for their true guides Which practice the Lord grant may tend to his most Holy Names Praise Honour and Glory CHRIST's Hundred Commandments c. 1. JEsus said unto him it is written again Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Mat. 4. 7. And Jesus answering said unto him it is said Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Luke 4. 12. 2. Then saith Jesus unto him get thee hence Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serve Mat. 4. 10. And Jesus answered and said unto him get thee behind me Satan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serve Luke 4. 8. 3. And said unto them that sold Doves Take these things hence make not my Fathers House a House of merchandize John 2. 16. 4. Marvel not that I said unto thee Thou must be born again John 3. 7. 5. But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him John 4. 23. 6. And saying the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand Repent ye and believe the Gospel Mark 1. 15. 7. Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the Temple and said unto him Behold thou art made whole Sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee John 5. 14. 8. Search the Scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testifie of me John 5. 39. 9. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your Father which is in Heaven Mat. 5. 16. 10. But I say unto you that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the Judgement and whosoever shall say unto his brother Racha shall be in danger of the Council but whosoever shall say Thou Fool shall be in danger of Hell fire Mat. 5. 22. 11. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed Adultery already with her in his heart And if they right eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not thy whole body should be cast into Hell And if thy right hand offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not thy whole body should be cast into Hell Mat. 5. 28 c. 12. But I say unto you That whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of Fornication causeth her to commit Adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth Adultery Mat. 5. 32. 13. But I say unto you Swear not at all neither by Heaven for it is God's Throne nor by the Earth for it is his Footstool neither by Jerusalem for it is the City of the great King Neither shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair black or white But let your communcation be Yea yea and Nay nay for whatsoever is more than these cometh of Evil Mat. 5. 34 c. 14. But I say unto you That ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also And if any man sue thee at the Law and take away thy cloak let him have thy coat also And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile go with him twain Mat. 5. 39. Luke 6. 27 29. 15. Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away Mat. 5. 42. Luke 6. 30. 16. But I say unto you Love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you Mat. 5. 44 c. Luke 6. 27 35. 17. Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect Mat. 5. 48. Luke 6. 35. 18. Take heed that you do not your alms before men to be seen of them otherwise ye have on reward of your Father which is in Heaven Therefore when thou dost thine alms do not sound a trumpet before thee as the Hypocrites do in the Synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward But when thou dost alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does Mat. 6. 1 c. 19. And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as the Hypocrites are for they love to pray standing in the Synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward But thou when thou prayest enter into thy Closet and when thou hast shut the door Pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly Mat. 6. 5 6. 20. But when ye pray use not vain repetitions as the Heathen do for they think they shall be heard for
