A Christian directed Question I Sée that you remember much concerning Christs prayer what must you obserue in your Christian practise An. As I am bounden to pray continually so am I bounden to watch cōtinually that neither by Sathans subtilitie or the worlds vanitie or mine owne securitie I be not surprised Quest Why ought you thus to watch An. 1. Because I walke in the presence of God 2. Because I walke amongst manie occasions of sinne 3. Because of my selfe I am shiftles to auoid them 4. Because I can go about no good thing but either Sathan or my lasts wil be readie to molest me 5. Because manie excellent men haue fallen verie greiuousely for want of watchfulnes 6. If I can thus watch without ceasing I shall gette in each action the peace of a good conscience which is the greatest iewell in the world 7. I shal be readie for anie temptation especially for death and the day of iudgement 8. I shall be sure to doe no such thing whereof I can not giue an accoumpt to God 9. I shall stoppe the mouthes of mine aduersaries when they call in question my righteous dealing 10. I shall cause my religion to bee well spoken of whylst others obserue my Godly conuersation Quest What must you doe that you may thus watch An. 1. I must euer walke in faith and to each part of Gods seruice it is my duty to bring it with me 2. I must haue Gods warrant with mee without which faith is no faith 3. I must sée what calling I haue to each thing without which a good thing may be sin 4. I must looke to my thoughts my words mine actions my gesture myne apparell my diet my recreations my gettings my spendings and howe I may kéepe holie the Sabbath day Quest What rules haue you learned for your thoughts Ans 1. That I be careful to kéepe a more narow watch ouer my thoughts words and déedes then heretofore I haue done to doe them more waryly for Gods glorie mine owne comfort and my bretherens benefit 1. Cor. 6.20 1. Pet. 1.15 Prouerb 4.13 2. That I cleanse my heart from the very first motions of all sinnefull thoughts as of Lust Anger Pride Couetousnesse Malice Stubournenesse euill Suspition as knowing that the least sinne deserueth death and doth depriue mée of parte of my comfort in my saluation Ephe. 4.23.31 Math. 15.18.19 Col. 3.2.8 3. That all my lawfull affections be moderate and without excesse and greater alwaies vpon heauenly then earthly things Col. 3.1.2 Phil. 3.20 4. That I fulfill not my minde in all things for then I shall often sinne let mee consider therefore whether that be lawfull I desire and for the glory of God Rom. 14.23 5.

That I suffer not my minde to be occupied with vnprofitable curious and vaine meditations for which I cannot giue a sufficient reason to God and man if I were asked Pro. 6.14 Zach. 8.17 7. That I thinke better of my brethren then of my selfe and the more I excell in any thing bée the more humble before God and man Rom. 12.16 Phil. 2.3 8. That I take some time euery day to meditate vpon and to mourne for the miseries and iniquities of the age wherein I liue and pray to God for remedie Psal 69.9 10. Ezech. 9 4. 9. That I thinke often of the vanity of my life vpon my departure hence dayly looking for my Sauiour in the Cloudes and wishing rather a good life then a long Psalme 90.9.10.15 10. That I carefully meditate and remember euery good thinge I heare or learne that I may readily practise it when time occasion

especially in the congregation of Saints for there many voyces are Gods best melodie Pray also at all times at euening Pray at all times morning and at noone day will I pray vnto thee yea at midnight will I rise to call vpon thee nay seauen times a day will I praise thee saith Dauid Daniel did so three times a day Paul did it day and night Hannah did it all the dayes of her life and the Psalmographer vowes it I will praise the Lord as long as I liue as long as I haue any being I will sing praises to my God Euchyta Pray continually not as those heretiques who would euer doe so but as Christians who know when to do so With morning prayer the day begin With euening praier the night shut in Without this prayer sit not to eate Without Gods praise rise not from me ate And forget not to

bodies may be preserued soules saued estates maintained that thy and their thoughts may bee sanctified your words seasoned and your actions ordered by the spirit of God Will you know now to whom we must pray To whom we must pray not to a Calfe as the Israelites did nor to Baal as his Priests did nor to an image as idolatours did nor to any Saints as our fathers did but as we are bound to serue God alone so are we bounden to pray to God alone for he alone knoweth our wants hea●…th our petitions hath promised to help vs is able to doe for vs and is the alone present helper in the needfull time of trouble I will draw to an end How we must pray you haue seene beloued the necessitie of this seruice let me shew you a little the qualities of this seruice Pray we must in knowledge with vnderstanding in faith by beleeuing in remorse with feeling in zeale without cooling in intention without wandring in reuerence without contemning in constancie without reuolting and in loue without reuenging Let our eies be fastned hearts fixed knees bowed mouthes opened and our hands lifted vp as to the King of Kings And as Iacob would not let the Angell goe till he were blessed so let not vs let him go till wee be heard Let not the woman of Canaan be more earnest with Christ militant then wee wil be with the same Christ triumphāt Let neuer Queene of Sheba so willingly come to Salomon as wee must willingly come vnto Christ hee loueth most willing and importunate sutors Wherefore as Dauid said to Abner neuer see my face vnlesse thou bring Michal with thee so say I vnto you neuer looke God in the face vnlesse you bring prayer with you As I haue declared to you the dutie of praier so should I speake somewhat of giuing of thankes Many can bee content to pray in troubles but fewe giue thankes for deliuerance out of trouble Multi petentes pauci promittētes paucissimi reddentes saith an ancient father there are many petitioners few promisers most few thanks giuers Are there not ten cleansed where are the nine there is none returned to giue thankes but this one and he is a Samaritan If euer people vnder the cope of heauen had occasiō to praise God we are they especially for his word and gospell and for many deliuerances shewed to our Princes and people But because at the end of this treatise I haue set downe a forme both of praier thanks giuing I refer you to the perusing of those two platformes I doubt not of your patience for the length of this preface because I desire to leaue it as an ocular sermon instructing you continually how to call vpon God and preparing you to the exposition of the Lords prayer which of many through ignorance is as much prophaned as euer God was by saying the Pater-noster in Latin or repeating other rosaries in an vnknown lāguage Now hauing ended as you see these questions and answers I make question with my selfe to whom I may command them and because for these three yeares immediatly past I haue liued and preached amongst you I am bolde in generall to present them to you all You haue I confesse knowne my conuersation bin acquainted with my ministrie countenanced me in my calling maintained me in health comforted me in sicknes afforded vnto me much more kindnesse then can be requited by this paper present And since it pleaseth God to dispose of me still in such vncertaine places as that I could neuer yet say heere must I rest I blesse God that euer I came vnto you whose loue and larges hath bene such vnto me as makes me to say of my late exile Perijsse● nisi perijssem I had bene vndone if others had not sought to vndoe me And therefore though I cannot say to you as Paul did to the Corinthians I am yours to liue and die with you yet this I will say I am yours to liue and pray for you that you may so know God as you may pray to him so pray to God that you may liue before him so liue that you may euer be fit to receiue his sacrament and so both fit to know pray liue and receiue that after you haue knowne him by Christ prayed to him through Christ liued before him in Christ and receiued his fauour in the seales of Christ you may in the end dye in his faith as you haue liued in his feare and at the last day in bodyes and soules bee partakers of eternall glorye To the grace of this GOD I commend you to your grace I cōmend these treatises doubting not but many of you will be as readie to read them as you
