The Contents Resumeth the Doctrine and Instructions for Children And further presseth home the special concerns of their life w●● the Reinforcement of the Care and Du●● of Parents and Overseers with a Tra●●tion from Child hood to Growing A●● and entrance upon the Limits of You●● with some Rules and Motives direct●● and pressing this § 1. IT is now high time for the● O Man to lift up thy Eye● higher then the firmament and 〈◊〉 mind thy Creator look well then tha● thou consider thy bounden duty 〈◊〉 GOD the timous dedication and givin● up of thy name to Him and to po●der thy early engadgement and Baptismal Vow and as Baptism is the L●ver of Regeneration thou art to look 〈◊〉 it hath any influence upon thee and 〈◊〉 thou finds any thing of the motions of a● new life within thee if Baptism has ha●● lowed thee and if thou does seriously consider that thou art washed that thou mavest begin now to escape the polutious of the World through lust and that as new born Babes thou desire the sincere milk of the word that thou mayest grow thereby and if thou hast learned the Language of Canaan to speak with GOD and for GOD if thou hast attained to any discretion to put on Modesty humility and patience If thou hast learned to govern thy homour propassions and passions If thou yet knows any thing of the Vanity and Deceitfulness of the World and the necessity of renuncing the same If these things be in thee O Child of Man then thou layest a good foundation against the time to come and for thy progress in Piety and Vertue § 2. And for Parents and Overseers Let me in all modesty enquire of you if your heart approves you as to your Duty to your Children and Pupils in order to their Religious education Some are ready to boast of Blood and Kinred Friends and Riches and other worldly priviledges but the great bussiness is to look well they be illuminated with the Rayes of Grace and the beauties and properties of Religion As also if you have used the rod with discretion for he that spareth the rod hateth the Child sayeth Solomon Which must be used not out of passion but from good Principles to holy ends For this is an instance of your Tender love of them since GOD Himself the Father of us all hath said Whom I love I Chastise that we may be Zealous and Repent Rev. 3. 21. And ●e chastneth every 〈◊〉 whom He Receiveth Heb 12. 6. Folly is knit to the heart of the Child till the Rod of Correction take it out And it is far better for your Children to feel the Lash of your Rod then to be stricken and wounded with the effects of their own after miscarriage when their own Iniquity find them out § 3. And it is an excellent Mean for your Childrens happiness that you study their genius and proper Gift as I before hinted that so ye may prepare them to enter such Callings as may make them most useful in their Generation That their Calling be laudable and approved as little lyable to snares as possible a Calling that may most naturally dispose them for a course of Vertue And therefore they would be instructed to be Industrious Honest and diligent in the Exercise thereof And of whatever Rank they be it is a greater blemish then obscure blood to be idle in their Generation So that even the Noble and Rich as they have a High and Noble general Caling So must they act in some particular Calling and Exercise in these more Eminent Spheres GOD has placed them in And if ye find your Children's genius so disposed it may be very helpful and behoveful for their Comfort in this Life and that to come to give them to GOD and separate them for the Holy Tribe by the Holy and Honourable Calling of the Gospel Ministry Wherein if Men would answer their Character they might get Esteem and Respect and with their Master Grow in favour with GOD and Man § 4. Neither is the Femal Sex to be neglected as to this Religious Education The Daughters are to be directed as well as the Sons For as they have Interest in the Covenant 2 Cor 6. to the end I will be a Father unto you sayeth the LORD and ye shall be unto Me Sons and Daughters So when our Sons are as plants grown up in their Youth and our Daughters as Corner Stones polished after the similitude of a Palace it is a great token of the Happiness of a People Psal 144. 12. 15. Our Danghters are not born or bred to be idle For beside their General they have a particular Calling to be Employed in For which end and to illuminate their life they are to be very careful and such as Oversee them that they be neither like a gadding Dina nor a painted Jezebel or like the Daughter of Midian who were a stumbling block by the counsel of Balaam to the People of GOD They must shun the way of the prostitute Woman in the Prov and learn to do vertuously after the Copy of the gravest Matrons And to attire themselves with modesty and Vail themselves with shamefacedness and learn Humility which is a foundation Grace and to beware of pride and vanity since this may make them like the daughters of Zion Isa 2. 24. and bring baldness and a Scab upo● them in stead of Beauty They would labour also to refine Purifie all their Passions by giving Christ who is fairer than the So●● of Men The first and highest place in their love and to Espouse themselves to such a Blessed Husband ere they think upon their Nup●ials That when by the Approved methods of GOD and their Parents they begin a conjugal state they may enter the Marriage bed White as Swans and Purer then the Snow of Lebanon They would learn also to moderate all their affections speech and way with the Spirit of meekness for a meek and quiet Spirit is the Ornament of a Woman 1 Pet. 3. 4. And this being observed let them be as vertuous as they can both in a single and married life Let reason rather then Romances be their Study let them Deck their minds ere they adorn their Body Let them consider that they are the Weaker Vessel and under subjection and still think it to be unsuitable to their Sex and way to be Imperious and not to keep within the Sphere in which GOD hath placed them least they make Clamour Noise and in discretion which doth

their holy principles and by their life● denying obedience to the faith And alas If we descend to the dregs of time we shal find many named Christians Unchristian and Antichristian in their way For such is now the contempt of the Gospel the unsuitable walking to it the despising of Holy things as the LORDS Ministers Ordinances and day such is the neglect of all thing that looks like duty to GOD such is the heathenishness of families for want of calling on the name of GOD and such horrid immoralities among these called Christians that we may without breach of Charity now say that a great part of the Christian World hath as to their practice repea●ed th●t Blasphemous saying that GOD hath now forsaken the Earth Ez 9. 9. It s now then very worthy of our while to consider better of the Character of a true Christian that people be not fostered in their folly in boasting of a name without the true life of Religion This has been much declamed against by Pens and Pulpits but alas People delight themselves in their delusions and for all that is said and done content themselves to be nominal not real christians I am told that there is a little peice done by a forreign Divine in Latine Arnd de vero Christianismo which gives great clearness as to this and which perhaps if I had seen might have saved my labour as to any thing that I can say on this purpose But the sad times and the corrupt manners of men stir me up to contribute my little mite to hold in the almost expiring life of practical Religion and this shall be done in considering these purposes following 1 st That the Christian walk suitably to the discovery of the Principles of his Religion 2ly That he walk suitably to the full digest of the rule GOD has given him to guide his life by 3ly That he answer the Gospel Spirit and Design 4ly That he knit his Life suitably to the whole Chain of Graces Vertues and Duties 5ly That he answer the Means and Institutions of GOD in his Word and Sacraments 6ly That he advance to Perfection in the Heavenly Exercise of a higher Pitch of Grace 7ly That he suit that great Hope set before him of the Crown of Glory And 8ly That he be well prepared for a Dimission from Time to Eternity And to clear the plain path of these to a Christian in all the Stages of his Life It would be considered First That the Seed and Habits of Grace are infused in our first Conversion 2ly That Grace proceedeth gradually 3ly That Grace groweth and goeth along with the conscionable use of the Means First That the Seed and Herbs of Grace are infused together as our first Conversion which is called by St. John the Seed of GOD remaining in us and by St. Paul the Life of GOD Gal 2. 20. Or the Divine Nature whereof Believers do partake as St. Peter sayes 2 Pet 1. 4. For a new born Child if it want Life cannot be capable of the Operations thereof No more can a new Convert exercise Grace without the principle of Life Now this new principle of Life in such as are born again consists not of one but of all Graces and the power and faculty of gracious Operations flows from t●at Life that animats all the faculties of the Soul So that certainly there is more than the influence of an external Swasion from the Word in regard it is but a dead Letter till it be animated with the Spirit of Life And 2ly It is no l●●s clear That Grace proceeds by degrees from Childhood to Manhood thus we are exhorted to grow in Grace and Knowledge 3ly That Grace groweth and goeth along with the Conscionable use of the Means For if our Vineyard be not dressed and well manured it will grow wild and full of weeds It is to be confessed that carelesness and the power of temptation may produce bad fruit even in a Believer for a time But be that is born and begotten of GOD si●●eth not finally but keepeth himself and the wicked one toucheth him not Joh 5. 4. Having now premi●ed these things for clearing I proceed to handle the several Ranks of Christians in the 8 forementioned Particulars First then That the Christian walk suitably to the discovery of the Principles of his Religion Which is so clearly manifested in the Gospel Dispensation especially in these four particulars following 1 st The Knowledge of our selves and our sinful miserie by nature Which calls for Humility Reformation and a new Life 2ly As to the Revelation of GOD whose Essence indeed is incomprehensible by mortals yet is so clearly discovered by Christ who dwelleth in the bosome of the Father and hath revealled H●m unto us that beside His incommunicable Attributes of Immensitle Omniscience Omnipotence and Omnipresence be is discovered to be so amiable in His Purity Holiness Goodness Mercy and Truth c. that the Rational Soul cannot but love choice and embrace Him 3ly As to the discovery of the Mediator And 4ly The clear Path Wa● to Happiness so fully discovered by Jesus Christ which calls for Faith and Obedience and the embracing of Christ in His threefold Office Secondly That be walk suitably to the full D●gest of the Rule which GOD has given him to guide his Life The Law of the LORD is Perfect so fully cleared from the false glosses of the Pharisees by Christ in His Sermon upon the Mount That now in the times of this Light no man can pretend ignorance of the Rule but either he that is negligent or prejudged at it 'T is true the best cannot reach it in its Spirituality and Extent But yet a sincere Christian may and should come the length of Having a respect to all the Commandments Psal 119. 29. and the hatred of every false way 3ly That he answer the Gospel Spirit and Design This is a great propertie of a Christian to know what Spirit he is of and that he close with the Gospel in its Holy Design not only to seek Salvation by Christ but Sanctification and to walk in the Way that leads to Salvation And this calls for Sincerity Humility Patience and self denyal c. And such a temper of spirit as suits its Design and the heavenliness of its Author 4ly That he knit his Life suitably to the whole Chain of Graces Vertues and Duties To be a Christian is a great Character and requires a perfect exactness not to live after the flesh but after the Spirit Rom 8. 1. Not to work the works of the flesh but to Crucifie it with the lusts and affections thereof and to bring forth the Fruits of the Spirit Gal 5. 18. Which calls for the exercise of Graces as we are called and related 5ly That be answer the Means and Institutions of GOD in His Word and Sacraments He is a too high towering Christian that neglects the Means and Ordinances Since the LORD did institute them for excellent Ends to propagate and perfect practicall Religion This calls for a meek Submission to the LORDS appointment especially in the right improvement of the Word and sacraments answering our cognizance and having with the Apostles A fellowship with the Father and the Son 6ly That he advance to perfection in the 〈◊〉 exercise of a higher Pitch of Grace Grace is of a growing nature all means and ordinances are for the advancement thereof true life cannot lurk but will send forth emanations and exercises And altho we should not co●nt our selves to have apprehended Phil. 3. 13. Yet should we follow fast towards the prize of the high Calling And this is very much evidenced in our self denyat● mottification victory over the World by saith and our affections more sublime than ●●put sue after the things of this world Col. 3. 3. For the conversation of 〈◊〉 is in Heaven Phil. 3. 2. The true Christian then after many labours tenrations ●cli●ses and difficultie comes to be expe●●en●ed and now as a proficient and an expert Soul●●● ri●teth to a higher 〈◊〉 of Grace and Vertue And this calls for a Heavenly elevated mind and a faith that will make us steddy and faithful unto Death 7ly That be suite that Great hope set before him of the Grown of Glory This ●●●●tily anima●s a Christian and carried him through difficulties it fixeth him in ●●●pests as an Anchor upon the Rock i● sanctifies and saves the Christian We are saved by hope Rom 8. 24. said St. Paul it helps us much in the way to Salvation and whoever hath this hope in him ●●●fies him self as CHRIST i● pure this calls for courage Resolution confidence and patience and through the Blessing of GOD expelleth that dreadful disease of 〈◊〉 dence and dispair 8ly That he be well prepared for a dimission from time to Eternity It 's happy for us that GOD find us at our work that the Lions of our Mind be gir● up that we be waiting our 〈◊〉 call shall our accounts be cleared and our Soul and our Heart in a humble way be full of Joy and Peace with a ●lerophorv or a full assurance of faith that our eyes be closed upon the World open to Heaven That we have CHRIST in our hearts then we may say ●une dimittas now let thy servant dep●● in peace This calls for a fixed preparation for Death Judgement and 〈◊〉 clear Conscience a Willingness and with submission and intire Resignation A desire to be with CHRIST which is best of all I shall conclude then in lotting you know that the great Mean to state you a true Christian is Action and the exercise of your Religion I could have enlarged and added many other things but that deserves a particular Treatise And as for motive to perswade thee to be a true Christian I shall add no more but that you improve your Faith look to your Claim and by the Eyes of Faith look to the splendor of that Crown prepared for a true Christian which ye shall wear with CHRIST World without End AMEN The End

be diligent since we know not the hour § 7 It cann●t then be impertinent seriously to warn the World to look to the Periods of their Life Which is the great Scope and Design of the following Treatise to lead the Christian through the Labyrinth of Life that he may well consider how short his time is with the Psalmist Psal 86. 47. And follow the Threed of the Word of GOD to direct him in all the Stages and Periods of his Life which is here set before thee in the following Periods Period first Of our Beginning and bygone Life and the Stages thereof Period second Of our present Time and the State of Our Growing Age and the several Stages thereof Period third Of the future Age or what is to come in the Declensions of Nature and the Stages thereof With a Vale to the WORLD Period first Of our beginning and bygone life and the Stages thereof MAn's Age is but a Span and but an Instant 'twixt our birth and our death Man comes to the World and knows not how and goes to a World of Eternity and knows not when He lives he groans he acts awhile and dyes And it takes a great part of the short Span of his time ' ere he well know where he is how he is and what he hath to do He lives long the life of a Brute as it were without reason It 's fit then when he begins to reflect to act as a rational Creature that he consider what he is and review the bygone time Yesterday can not be brought back But time may be Redeemed His life is but a dream yet he may gather some good out of it When he awakes if he consider The Prayer ANd Thou O LORD who only Remains unchangeable in all the stages and Changes of time and the inexpressible permanence of Eternal ages World without end Fix the heart of unconstant Man upon thee alone Our Soul is the Daughter of an high House Give us Grace with the Psalmist to say unto thee LORD thou art my LORD Psal 16. 2. Keep us O GOD in thy Name and make us pure and clean to be fit for Thee Keep our Immortal Soul in life and still upon wing to Flee to its Center and repose for where shall it Flee to be happie but to Thee thou only has the words of Eternal Life O JESV the Powerful attractive of Hearts who makes all Generous Souls sigh after thee draw us to thee for this is our Rest and only repose which sweetneth all the acerbities of time and Bitterness of this World here will we dwell for ever and If we Change upon the Wheel of time we roll indeed but in Thee we can not be moved nor Removed Amen Come I now to consider the stages and several Tu●ns of the first Period of our Life STAGE First The Contents OF the Formation and Production of the Infant of the propagation of the Soul and of sin of Infant Baptism and the right that the Children of Church Members have unto it The duty to be extended to Infants as Care Provision Prayer for them to study their Nature and Humour and acting accordingly Grave example and a serious timeous dedication of them to GOD which for more distinct clear uptaking thereof shall be considered by a Particular account of the purpose and d●ctrine of the first Stage in the first period of our life § 1. Let Naturalists and Ancient or modern Masters of Medicine discourse of the Formation of the Child in the womb Job and the Royal Psalmist draweth this unseen Embryo best with a Divine Pencil Job 10. 8. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me together round about thou hast fashioned me as the Clay Has thou not powred me out as Milk and croudled me as Chees Thou hast Clothed me with Skin and Flesh and fenced me with Bones and Sinews And Psal 139. from 13. Thou hast possessed my Reins thou hast covered me in my Mothers Womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made and Curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the Earth and in thy book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned when yet there was none of them Man 's a wonder before the World see him lying in the dark Cells of the womb and if he consider from what he Flows and his little Chamber in the womb and how nourished there It may humble him he flows from Blood and lives on Blood and dwells amongst Blood and Ordurs Thy very nature may humble thee For as it proves the Wisdom and power of the GOD of Nature who can extract a quintessence out of Dullest matters so doth it bid thee look unto thy Original All the Earth being of one Blood Acts 17. 26. And there being no differance 'twixt the Prince and the Peasent and that GOD who teacheth Art to extract Rarities who by nature brings Silk from a Worm a Pearl from a Shell and precious Minerals from Dust and Rubbish doth make this Raritie Man Ex Humo Eccle. 12 7. For Dust thou art and to Dust thou shalt return thou comes from the womb and goes to thy long home the Grave If thou boast of thy Pedigree Go to the House of Rottenness and look to the worms that makes thy Flesh to shrink and learn to confess with Abraham that thou art Dust and Ashes Gen 17. 28. And with Job abhor thy self in Dust and Ashes Job 42. 6. And if thou shall consider that thou art not only Dust but fallen in the Dust and comes forth with a Contaminate Blood dying in thy sin and no Eye pitying thee Ezek 16. 1. it may further abase thee and not suffer thee to be proud when thou lyest in the Dunghill all besmeared with filth and uncleanness Consider then thy rise and thy fall and learn to be humble else thou art proud of nothing or worse than nothing § 2. Next As to the Propogation of the Soul and how the dust body comes to be animated not only with vital spirits but with a rational Soul I shall leave the curiousity of this also to Philosophers For altho some will have the Soul ex traduce because if not so Man doth not beget a perfect Man and commonly Children Patriscent follow the ill of the Parents and they are Father-like there is not only vitium Gentis familiae of the Nation and Family but also personae of the Person Yet its safest to joyn with the universal Church that the soul is infused according to that of St. Aug Creando infunditur infundendo Creature By creation it is infused and by the infusion of the Soul it is created And this common Vote is not infringed by the sentiments of some Private Men For although Man begetteth not a Soul yet he begets a spiritu● Organ and Embryo disposed for the Soul a● so doth he begett Man Virtually And the Scripture favours this Infusion as Solomon sayeth Dust shall return to Dust and the spirit to

The best way to conceive Eternity is to read the WORD that endureth for ever and to improve our short time and well digest in our mind What will be for ever more it is impossible in this mortal state to have full conceptions of Eternity for we Roll in a course of time O● thoughts are measured by dayes a● years We should not therefore too mu●● by speculation pore upon this Vast E●pansion least instead of clear conceptio● we turn confused Rest therefore 〈◊〉 mind in these modest considerations I. th● Eternity is the O●b of the Eternal GO● as by searching we cannot find out th● Almighty for no man can see GOD a●● live so we cannot conceive of Eterni●● It is only Faith that gets satisfaction 〈◊〉 this matter while Curiosity lyes in th● dark Eternity is much hidden from M●● tals therefore we should not enquire 〈◊〉 it since it is hidden Look well then 〈◊〉 thy duty in order to Eternity and lea●● the uptaking till thou be more capacita●● by the Beatifick vision delay till tho● come to Eternity and then thou shall be satisfied be very busie here because tho●● wo●ks for Eternity ss 2. 2ly After this life we shal be like th● Angels of nimble conception but no● such knowledge is too high for us it 〈◊〉 supra nos in the instant of our life and the●● fore as to speculation Non ad nos in th●● ●nterim of time We can scarcely con●●eive of time much less of Eternity our ●●ith promp●s us to Prepare for Eternal life ●●t not to stand and pore in the Sun ●●ast we dazel our Eyes and fall in the ●●itch It is our Wisdom then to number ●●wr dayes in time because we cannot number the Ages of Eternity these two words Never and Ever have great emphasis O sad To be never happy and ever miserable O Bles●ed thing to be ever happ● and never miserable Sow then the good seed for Eternity and fix thy house so in time as to bring thee through all the storms of life to have a house with GOD Eternal in the Heavens lay up treasure ●o● your self in heaven which may mantain you World without end work with intense projects for Eternity every seed we sow in our finite life tends to infinity and let a sinner be still stated in his formercirum● stances he would sin in infinitum and never cease to be evil And this is the reason that some of the School men give for the Eternal punishment of sin For a sinner as a sinner would live in a perp●tual emnit● against GOD but the seed sown by the Godly has a great vertue to spring in time and last to Eternity where Grace is crowned with Glor● We should therefore like Noah build a● Ark to carry us through the storms of Lif● and make us ar●ive on a mountain mu●● more fixed than Ararat there to dwell 〈◊〉 Eternal Splendors for Mount ●ion 〈◊〉 not be removed Ex●rcise then your Gra● aright that your Faith may end in se● ing your hope in Fruition and your labour in Rest The Prayer LORD GOD of Eternal Perfection 〈◊〉 Glory before the World was shined and ●●dures to Eternity fix my wavering mind to center and rep●se in thee and l●t never th● Transitorie Pleasures of this Life hinder me fro● a vigorous pursuit of these pleasures at 〈◊〉 Right Hand which are for evermore Gi●● me to be a person of a large Heart and high desig●s above the World that I may work for Eternitie and through Thy Grace be so happie as to enjo● Thee O Eternal GOD World without End Amen STAGE Last The Contents A Lamentation for the sad decay of Religion and Apologie for the Devotion used in this Treatise with a Vale to the World And all sweetened with suitable Devotion ss 1. I Should thus concluded were not that I cannot well ommit to vent my Lamentation for the great neglect and decay of practical Religion and speak something concerning the Devotion used in this Treatise ss 2. And First Of that Pathetick threne and regrate for the great Declension of Christian piety and practice which has been well handled by an unknown Author and others some years ago But alas time hath still produced great Causes of Regrate For such is the Impietie Irreligion and immoralit● of the most part of men under the Christian Name that the first Propogators of this excellent Religion so perfective of humane Nature would now misken the Christian Chutch and see nothing but a Rudera and Confusion in stead of the well compact beauty of Zion For even they that pretend to be the true Church and would inhance the whole Prerogatives thereof to their own Romis● Sect What errors of Doctrine What corruption of Worship What Iameness of Morals is among them I leave it to any such serious men as travels into these places What darkness and ignorance What prophanity What leaudness and abomination is there is but too Visible to all the World Moreover that Church that carries that Glorious Name of Protestant and Reformed is much deformed and degenerate in manners from the practice of the purest primitive times And GODS Laws are violated by a p●ophane age Christs Gospel Offices in stitutious and Ministers are all vilified contemned dissowened and almost utterly rejected by our licentious Age and wicked Generation O What boldness of Men affrontedly in the f●ce of the Sun to incroatch invade all things Sacred what swearing for swearing what profanity what pe●jur● does the great part of the Chris● tian World
