A76705	A twofold catechism: the one simply called A Scripture-catechism; the other, A brief Scripture-catechism for children. Wherein the chiefest points of the Christian religion, being question-wise proposed, resolve themselves by pertinent answers taken word for word out of the Scripture, without either consequences or comments. Composed for their sakes that would fain be meer Christians, and not of this or that sect, inasmuch as all the sects of Christians, by what names soever distinguished, have either more or less departed from the simplicity and truth of the Scripture. By John Biddle, Master of Arts of the University of Oxford.	Biddle, John, 1615-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B2882; Thomason E1473_2; ESTC R209511	54,377	175

holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him Lord whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well and are not afraid with any amazement Likewise ye husbands dwell with them according to knowledge giving honor to the wife as unto the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life that your prayers be not hindered 1 Pet. 3. 1 2 c. Qu. What is the duty of children and parents according to Paul A. Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right Honor thy father and thy mother which is the first commandment with promise That it may be well with thee and thou maist live long on the earth And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

What is the duty of servants and masters according to the doctrine of the two aforesaid Apostles A. Servants be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart as unto Christ Not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart With good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doth the same shall he receive of the Lord whether he be bond or free And ye masters do the same things unto them forbearing threatning knowing that your master also is in heaven neither is there respect of persons with him Eph. 6. 5 6 7 8 9. Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour that the Name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed And they that have believing masters let them not despise them because they are brethren but rather do them service because they are faithful and beloved partakers of the benefit 1 Tim. 6. 1 2. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters and to please them well in all things not answering again Not purloyning but shewing all good fidelity that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things Tit. 2. 9 10. Servants obey in all things your masters according to the flesh not with eye-service as men-pleasers but in singleness of heart fearing God And whatsoever ye do do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance for ye serve the Lord Christ But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done and there is no respect of persons Masters give to your servants that which is just and equal knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven Col. 3. 22 23 24 25.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine That the aged men be sober grave temperate sound in faith in charity in patience The aged women likewise that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness not false accusers not given to much wine teachers of good things That they may teach the yong women to be sober to love their husbands to love their children To be discreet chaste keepers at home good obedient to their own husbands that the word of God be not blasphemed Yong men likewise exhort to be sober-minded Tit. 2. 1 2 c.
