is obedience according to al Lawes that appertaine vnto al in respect of euery ones vocation and calling That this is here commaunded is manifest because the superiours must require this of their inferiors and incite them by their example to obey and inferiours are commaunded to obey al iust ordinaunces and commandements Neither doth it hinder that the honour of the ministerie also doth comprehend the whole obedience of the Lawe For there it is exacted as obedience vnto the voice of god himselfe here as obedience towards men that bear rule ouer vs. 2 The second common vertue to both is the particular distributiue iustice which keepeth a proportion in distributing of offices and rewardes or which is a vertue giuing to euery one his owne Now euery mans owne is such an office or honour or reward as is conuenient and fit for him or belongeth vnto him Roman 13.7 Giue to all men their dutie tribute to whom ye owe tribute custome to whom custom fear to whom fear honour to whom ye owe honour 3 Sedulitie or diligence or fidelitie which is a vertue in a man well knowing and vnderstanding those parts which belong properly vnto his owne duty and office examining them and doing according to Gods commaundement those things that belong vnto him constantly continually studiouslie willingly and cheerfully likewise conteining himselfe with this endeuour of wel doing within the bonds of his owne duty and calling letting passe thinges that appertaine not to his vocation and such as are vnnecessary and al to this end principally as thereby to serue god and his neighbour and to doe those thinges which are pleasing to God and profitable vnto men 1. Thess 4.11 Studie to bee quiet and to meddle with your own busines Roman 12.8 He that ruleth let him do it with diligence Eph. 6.6 Serue as the seruants of Christ doing the wil of God from the heart Eccle. 9.10 Al that thine hand shal find to doe doe it with al thy power But it is to be obserued that this vertue is not onely to vnderstand what are the parts of a mans duty but also to examine search if yet there be ought remaining which hee knoweth not to belong vnto his duty For hee that knoweth not must seeke and search otherwise hee shal neuerthelesse render an account of neglecting his duety because his ignoraunce was purposed and voluntary 4 Grauitie which is a vertu that obserueth that which becommeth a mans person and sheweth a constancy and squarenesse in words deedes gestures that thereby wee may maintaine our good estimation or authority that our calling be not reproched For because God wil haue superiors to be honored he wil also that they themselues maintaine their owne honour Now true glory which is an approbation yeelded vs both of our owne conscience and of the conscience of others iudging aright seing it is a vertue necessary both for the glorie of God and for the safety and well-fare of men is without question to be desired so that these ends be withal respected Prou. 22.1 A good name is to be chosen aboue great riches Eccles 7.3 A good name is better than a good ointment Eccles 41.12 Haue regard to thy name for that shal continue with thee aboue a thousand treasures of gold Gal. 6.4 Let euerie man proue his owne work and then shall hee haue reioicing in himselfe onelie and not in another Tit. 2.7 Aboue all thinges shew thy selfe an example of good woorks with vncorrupt doctrine with grauity integritie 5 Modestie is a vertue which hath neere affinity with grauity whereby a man knowing his owne imbecillity and considering his place and office wherein hee is placed by God keepeth a meane and conueniency of person in opinions and in speech of himselfe and in actions and in behauiour to this end that we giue no more to our selues than becommeth vs that we shew no more glitter or gorgiousnesse in our apparel in our behauiour in our talke and life than is needefull that wee set not our selues before others or oppresse others but behaue our selues according to our ability and capacity with an acknowledgement of Gods giftes in others and of our owne defectes Now as it was said modestie hath an affinitie with grauity For if grauitie be not ioined with modesty it degenerateth into ambition and swelling Humilitie and Modestie differ in their ende and Modesty is toward men acknowledging their owne vices and the giftes that are in others Humility is towards God Galat. 6.3 Jf anie seeme to himselfe that hee is somewhat when hee is nothing he deceiueth himselfe in his imagination 6 Loue or tender affection toward our kindred and neere of bloude as towardes our Parentes children and other kinsfolkes For when God willeth vs to honor our Parents he wil also that we loue them and that as our Parents and when he wil haue them to bee Parentes hee will haue also their children to bee loued of them and that not onely as straungers but as their children For seeing God ordaineth the bonds of coniunction betweene men he also alloweth the degrees of loue and duties 1. Timot. 5.8 If there be anie that prouideth not for his owne and namelie for them of his houshold he denieth the faith and is worse than an infidel 7 Thankefulnes which is a vertue consisting of truth iustice acknowledging from whom what and howe great benefites we haue receiued and hauing a desire or willingnesse to perfourme and returne for them mutuall labour or mutual duties such as are honest and possible Prou. 17.13 Hee that rewardeth euil for good euil shal not depart from his house 8 Aequitie which is a vertu mitigating vpō good cause the rigour of strict iustice in punishing taxing others offences patiently bearing with some such errors defects as do not enormously harme the publike safety of the priuate welfare of our neighbours and couering and correcting such vices of others or endeuouring to heale cure them For this by reason of mens manifolde infirmity is so necessary both in superiours towards inferiours in inferiours towards superiours that without it ciuil society cannot consist 1. Pet. 2.18 Be subiect to your Masters with all feare not onely to the good and curteous but also to the froward Hither appertaineth the example of the Sonnes of Noah Gen. 9. Likewise the commandement of the moderation and gentlenesse of Parentes towardes their children in exercising correction and discipline Ephes 6 4. Fathers prouoke not your children to wrath but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lord. Col. 3.21 Prouoke not your children to anger least they bee discouraged And cap 4.1 Ye Masters doe vnto your seruauntes that which is iust and equal knowing that ye also haue a Master in heauen The vices contrary to these common vertues of this fift commaundement 1 VNTO the general iustice are opposed 1. All neglectes of such duty as iust Lawes require of euerie one either of superiours or of inferiours 2.

as his Doctrine should bee heard so also the right and lawfull vse of his sacraments should bee seene and behold in the publicke meetings and assemblies of the Church because god will haue both these to bee markes whereby his Church may be knowen discerned from other sects and peoples Againe as the woord so also the sacraments are an instrument or exercise to stirre and maintaine in vs faith and godlinesse They are also a publicke profession of our faith and thankefulnesse towardes God and a part of Gods publicke worship in the Church Therfore the vse of them is most agreeable and fit for the Sabboth day 5 Publicke Jnuocation of God whereby we ioine our confession thankes-giuing praiers desires with the Church For god will be inuocated not only priuately by euery one but also publickely by the whole Church for his owne glory our comfort that so we may the lesse doubt that God will hear vs seeing he hath promised to heare not onely vs but also others and the whole Church praying for vs together with vs. For therefore hath God annexed a speciall promise vnto publicke prayers Mat. 18.19 If two of you shall agree on earth vpon anie thing whatsoeuer they shal desire it shal be giuen them of my Father which is in Heauen For where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the middest of them And giuing of thankes and praise vnto God is promised vnto God as a speciall woorship Ps 22. Jn the middst of the congregation will I praise thee And the same is commanded 1. Cor. 14. When thou blessest with the spirite how shal he that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned say Amen at thy giuing of thankes seeing he knoweth not what thou saiest And 1. Tim. 2. I exhort that first of al supplications praiers intercessions and giuing of thankes be made for all men Now whereas Christ else where commandeth that when a man praieth Mat. 6.6 he enter into his chamber when he hath shut his doore pray vnto his Father which is in secret he by these words doth not condemne and forbid publicke praiers but hypocrisie and ostentation and fained godlinesse which the woordes testifie that goe before When thou praiest be not as the Hypocrits Now hypocrisie is a faigning and an ostentation or shew of Godlinesse We are here furder to obserue that in this commandement is prescribed the publicke inuocation of the Church but that which was in the former commaundement prescribed is the priuate inuocatiō which concerneth euery particular man 6 To bestowe almes that is to performe the duties of loue and charity thereby to sanctifie the Sabboth in shewing our obedience which wee yeelde vnto the Doctrine Hither appertaineth the sermon of Christ concerning the sabboth wherein he declareth against the Iewes whether it be lawfull to doe good on the sabboth daie And whereas God will haue this Sabboth to be kept all our life time yet will he haue examples and testimonies thereof to bee shewed especially on the externall or ceremoniall Sabboth day that is at those times which are allotted to the teaching and learning of Gods worde For if neither at that time any man shewe his desire of obaying God when Gods Doctrine soundeth in his eares and when God willeth vs surceasing omitting all other cares to meditate on Godlinesse amendment of life he giueth a token that he will farre lesse doe it at an other time Therefore hath it beene alwaies the custome in the Church to bestowe almes on the Sabboth day and to performe the workes of charity towardes those that are in want Nehem 8.10 Send part vnto them for whom none is prepared for this daie is holie vnto our Lord. 7 The honour of the ministerie of the Church or our obedience towardes the whole ministerie in life and manners and this is the morall Sabboth Nowe that obedience towardes the ministery comprehendeth many things First reuerence that is an acknowledging of Gods order and will in the ordeining and maintaining of the Ministery and in the gathering of his Church by it that is a declaration both in woords and deeds of this our acknowledgement iudgement of the Ministery 1. Cor. 4.7 Let a man so thinke of vs as of the Ministers of christ and disposers of the secrets of God Secondly loue whereby wee gladly both frequent diuine assemblies and heare learn the Doctrine of the church and wish well vnto the faithfull Ministers of the Church not onely in respect of that duty of charity which we owe but also in respect of the ministerie which they discharge Psal 84. How amiable are thy Tabernacles My soule longeth yea fainteth for the courts of the Lord. Thirdly obedience in those thinges which are belonging vnto the Ministerie Hither belong the workes of loue towards God and our neighbour euen the whole life of a Christian which is that spirituall or morall Sabboth For to hold and celebrate that spiritual Sabboth is in the direction and ordering of our life to obey the voice of God speaking by the ministerie of the Church For God will therefore haue the true doctrine to be learned of vs that we may obey it Iam. 1. Bee yee doers of the woord and not hearers onelie deceiuing your owne selues Fourthly Thankefulnesse that is such duties as tend to the preseruation and mainteinance of the ministery Ministers and Schooles For if God will haue ministers to be in his church he will also that euery one according to his ability helpe forwarde and furder the maintenance of the Ministerie Schooles of learning doe his endeuor that the ministers teachers school-masters be honestlie prouided for Hither appertain Moses Lawes of the first-born of first-fruits of tithes such like offerings which were alotted to the Priests Leuites by way of stipend whereby they might sustaine their owne life their houshould that so they might wholly bee employed in the ministerie And albeit the circumstances of these lawes are abolished yet the generall remaineth for euer because God wil haue his ministerie to bee maintained to the end of the world Fiftly lastly Lenitie and moderation in bearing with such infirmities of the ministers as doe not enormously or manifestly corrupt or hinder the ministery hurt the church by offence 1. Tim. 5.19 Against an Elder receiue none accusation but vnder two or three witnesses Seeing then this is the sanctifieng keeping holy of the Sabboth it followeth that those works must needs be contrary to these whereby the Sabboth is broken prophaned 6 How the sabboth is broken or prophaned THE sabboth is prophaned when either it is not at al sanctified or is not sanctified aright but such works are done as hinder the ministerie or are contrarie vnto those woorks which belong to the sanctifieng of the sabboth and were euen nowe rehearsed Wherefore the parts of the profaning of the sabboth shal be those which are opposed vnto the parts
