AN EPISTLE TO THE HOUSHOLD OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM AND To every Family in particular TO READ PRACTISE The Lord saith I know Abraham that he will Command his Children and his Houshold after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that he hath spoken of him Gen. 18.19 LONDON Printed and Sold by John Bringhurst at the Sign of the Book in Grace-church-street 1682. AN EPISTLE TO THE HOUSHOLD c. FRiends consider how the Blessing of the Lord came upon the Obedient and Faithful to the Lord and rested upon them The Lord said to Abraham Get thee out of thy Country and from thy Kindred and from thy Fathers House c. And I will make of thee a great Nation and I will Bless thee c. And thou shall be a Blessing and I will Bless them that Bless thee and Curse them that Curse thee and in thee and in thy Seed shall all the Families of the Earth be Blessed Abraham obeyed the Lord and went forth from Vr of the Caldees and so he left all the Religions and Worships and Teachers of the Countrey of the Caldees behind him and followed the Lord And the Lord said unto Abraham Walk before me and be thou perfect Gen. 17.1 And again The Lord said unto Abraham Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty Nation and all the Nations of the Earth shall he Blessed in him Gen. 12.1 2 3. 18.18 And again The Lord said unto Abraham That in Blessing I will Bless thee and in Multiplying I will Multiply thy seed as the Stars of Heaven and as the Sand which is upon the Sea-Shore and thy Seed shall possess the Gates of his Enemies and in thy Seed shall all the Nations of the Earth be Blessed because thou hast Obeyed my Voice Abraham Obeying Gods Voice brought this Blessing upon him as in Gen. 22. And the Lord said I know Abraham that he will Command his Children and his Houshold after him That they shall keep the way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham all that which he hath spoken of him Now you may see here what it is that brings the Blessing and kept the Blessing upon Abraham and his seed c. Now if you be of the true Faith you are of Abraham and are Blessed with faithful Abraham Gal. 3.9 And in this seed and faith of Abraham you will Command your Children and your houshold after you to keep the way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgment that the Lord may bring the Blessing upon you and your Houshold and Children keeping in the same Faith and Seed of Abraham and you and your Children and your Houshold keeping in the way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgment then I say the Blessing which came upon Abraham will come upon you and upon your Children and your Houshold and then you will know the Promise of God fullfiled Cursed is he that Curses thee and Blessed his he that Blesseth thee and therefore live and walk in the seed which bruses the Head of the Serpent in which seed all Nations are Blessed yea all Families Housholds and Children in which faith and seed you Command Mark Command your Children and your Houshold after you to keep the way of the Lord as Abraham did to do Justice and Judgment Gen. 18. 19. Now you that have not this authority to Command over your Children and Housholds you are not in the same faith and seed of Abraham to wit To Command your Children and Houshold after you to keep the way of the Lord and to do Justice and Judgment Now the Lord had a Confidence in Abraham and so he hath in all them that be of his seed and faith now that they will Command their Children and Houshold to keep the way of the Lord as he did and walk before the Lord and to do Justice and Judgment and that Abraham's Family and Children should not go back again into those Countrey Religions or Ways which the Seed and Faith of Abraham hath and had led them out of for they that are commanded to come out of them into Gods Way into the Way of the Lord are commanded to keep in the Way of the Lord and they are to command their Children and their Houshold to keep the Way of the Lord and to keep out of all the Ways of the World and out of all the Ungodly Unjust Ways in the Seed which bruises the head of the Serpent And the Lord said to Isaac I will make thy Seed to Multiply as the Stars of Heaven c. And in thy Seed shall all the Nations of the Earth be Blessed Gen. 26.4 Now here you may see that Isaac inherited his Fathers Inheritance in the Seed and in the Faith and Way of the Lord in which Seed all Nations are Blest and so do all they that be of the Faith and Seed of Abraham that walk in the steps of Faithful Abraham in the Way of the Lord and obey his Voice c. Inherit the Blessing of Abraham for so you may see it was not the only Care that their Children might inherit a little Earth after them but that they might inherit the Seed and the Faith which had the Blessing And Isaac said to Jacob God Almighty Bless thee and give thee the Blessing of Abraham to thee and to thy Seed with thee Gen. 28. And this Isaac spake to Jacob before Jacob had any Children and here you may see Isaac's Care that Jacob and his Seed might inherit the Faith and Blessing of Abraham and Isaac and this should be their first inheritance and then they should inherit the outward Land and this should be the care of all them that walk in the steps of the Faith of Abraham to see that their Children and Houshold do inherit that Faith Seed and Blessing of Abraham in the first place by keeping in the way of the Lord c. And they are to Command their Children to walk in the way of the Lord c. that they may and you may see that Jacob did inherit the Blessing of Abraham and Isaac in Abrahams and Isaac's Seed and Faith When the Lord said unto Jacob Thy Seed shall be as the dust of the Earth and thou shall spread abroad to the West and to the East and to the North and to the South and in thee and in thy seed shall all the Families of the Earth be blessed So here you may see Jacob's Possession who did inherit the blessing of Abraham and Isaac c. And they that are of his Seed and Faith which keep the Way of the Lord c. They do inherit this blessing in the Seed in which all Nations are blest And this is according to Christ's Doctrine Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you to
