The Covenant to Abraham and his Seed stands everlastingly Gen. 17. 7. In substance to them which are the children of faithfull Abraham Rom. 4. 16. Q. 9. Can Babes have Faith then A. First they may have the seale of Faith Rom. 4. 11. Secondly they may have the Spirit of God Luk. 1. 15. Which is a Spirit of faith 4. 13.

Have all elect Babes then this Spirit of Faith and this same seminall Faith in their Baptisme A. Some have as first Jeremiah was sanctified in the wombe Ier. 1. 5.

Secondly such as shew strange instincts and aptnes in Religion and godlinesse as soone as they can speake plaine almost as Timothy who savingly knew the Scriptures from a child 2 Tim. 3. 15. but all have not for some live in sin till 20 yeeres after as Paul was not converted till he was at the age of a man Acts 9. 3. Beeing sensuall before and therefore without the Spirit Iude 19. Neverthelesse though he had not the Spirit dwelling in him from the womb yet he had the Spirit seperating and keeping him for a day of conversion Gal. 1. 15.

What benefits hast thou by Baptisme A. 3. I am thereby sealed First to bee a member of Christs body the Church 1 Cor. 12. 13. Secondly to be one of the Sons of God Joh. 1. 12 17. For so was Christ sealed Gods Son Ioh. 6. 27. In his Baptisme Math. 3. 17. 3ly to be an inheritor of the Kingdom of God Mark 16. 16.

No man can know them till by their fruits wee may know them Math. 7. 13. Indeed Parents are bound to beleeve the best and hope the best for so Charity doth in all things that are not yet manifest 1 Cor. 13. 7. But for all our Charity they cannot bee vouchsafed forgivenesse of sins unlesse they joyne amendment of life to their Baptisme Act. 2. 28. Nor saved that answer not out of an upright Conscience to Christs interogatories though they were washed 1 Pet. 3. 21. And yet members in Christs visible Church and vesses in his house 2 Tim. 2. 20. And called Sons of God though rebellious Isa 1. 2. And may be said to bee begotten with an outward regeneration Deut. 32. 18. Q. 14. What diddest thou promise and vow in thy Baptisme A. Three things First Repentance of my sins for hee that liveth in sin is of the Divell 1 Iohn 3. 8. Secondly Faith for he that beleeveth not is condemned already Iohn 3. 18. Thirdly obedience to all Gods Commandements for cursed is hee that obeyeth not Ier. 11. 3. All these things was I taught in my Baptisme to observe all my life after Math. 28. 19 2● Now all this obedience must be done by the power of Faith in Christ Col. 3. 17.

Art thou bound to performe thy Baptisme Vow and Oath A. I am bound Psa 50. 14. Or else I shall be utterly cut off Nah. 1. 15. Yea I am perjured else in making such a Covenant Hos 10. 4.

What is Beliefe or Faith Ans It is the gift of God Ephes 2. 8. Whereby I believe the words of Christ Psal 119. 66. And find rest in my soule in him Math. 11. 29. So that now it is no more I that life and worke and doe but Christ that liveth in me Gal. 2. 20. Q. 17. How many wayes is Faith taken Ans Six First Historicall Faith Iam. 2. 19. 2. ly A dead Faith Iam. 2. 26. 3. ly A temporary Faith Luk. 8. 13. 4. ly A bare hoping Faith Act. 8. 13. 5. ly a miraculous Faith 1 Cor. 13. 2. 6. ly this same saving and justifying Faith Rom. 5. 1. A Reprobate may have the first five and be damned for there is but one Faith Ephes 4. 5. Which the world knoweth not for it is a mistery 1 Tim. 3. 9. And the most men say they have it if wee will believe them yet if we will believe Christ few have it and it is very scarce Luk. 1. 8. Being the faith of the Elect. Tit. 1. 1. Q. 18. Do not wicked men say they believe in Christ Ans Yea Ioh. 2. 23. but Christ will not believe them nor commit himself unto them vers 24. It is not a bare beleeving of Christ in the clouds but the having of Christ in a man that giveth a man life 1 Iohn 5. 12. It is living in Christ as well as believing in Christ Joh. 11. 26. The wicked may say they have faith Iam.
What use doe you make of Gods secret will A. First in all our intention we must be carefull to insert this If it be Gods will Iam. 4. 13 14 15. either implicitely 1 Cor. 11. 34. or expressely Act. 18. 21. for there may be a thousand counsels in our hearts but none of them all can stand 〈◊〉 that which is appointed in heaven Prov. 19. 21. Secondly we must never be over earnest in our undertakings least Gods will comming forth to the contrary puts us to discontent and vexation 1 King 21. 4. Thirdly we must labour to be provided for whatsoever may break our purposes of Iohn 11. 11. if it be Gods will our purposes shall never take effect he hath many wayes to doe it Isa 59. 10. he suffering us to be inconsiderate Prov. 15. 22. by taking us away before we effect that we purposed Psal 146. 4. what a pitifull case had Ionathan been in if he had not been provided for all may be he aimed to be next David when he came to the crown 1 Sam. 13. 2. Fourthly we must beware that we run not against Gods revealed will rather then suffer our purposes to be frustrate the old Prophet of Bethel when he had a purpose to get the Prophet of Iudah home to his house rather then he would be hindred of his purpose he told a wretched lye 1 King 13. 18. the unjust Steward having a purpose to live make himselfe friends rather then he would be hindred of his purpose he would couzen his Lord Luke 16. 4. Fiftly we must be ready to submit to Gods will against it comes to be revealed what it is Act. 21. 4. Sixtly we must remember that even our owne hearts cannot will as we list but as God list Prov. 21. 1. nor our tongues answer as we list though we have what to answer but as God lists Proverb 16. 1. Q. 149. What pray we for in this Petition thy will be done A. First That we may renounce our owne will Math. 26. 39. whether it be our ●●rnall will called the will of our flesh Eph. 2. 3. which must be absolutely renounced for it is contrary to the will of the spirit Gal. 5. 17. or our naturall will whereby we will life and maintenance and freedome from torment and this we must renounce respectively namely when Gods will stands in competition Iohn 5. 30. Secondly we pray that God would make us content with his will whether it be disposing of our allowance Heb. 13. 5. or correcting us for our sinnes 1 Sam. 3. 18. Thirdly we pray that God would enable us to doe his commanding will Psal 143. 10. Fourthly we pray that we may doe it as Gods Angels doe Psal 143. 20. that is first readily without delay Psal 119. 60. Secondly willingly Psal 40. 8. that it may be our meate to doe it Iohn 4. 34. Thirdly constantly 1 Chron. 28. 7. Fourthly faithfully not picking and chosing but all the Lords will Act. 13. 22. Q. 150. What say you of the will of Gods word or command is it the Lords will that men shall do it or else woe is unto them A. Yea for that is his will by force of a law Rom. 2. 18. and the businesse that he bids men to do Luke 2. 49. and what ever prophane wretches thinke he will for a certaine require it Psal 10. 13. and if men will not doe it he himself will see it done one way or other Ezek. 21. 28. Gods word must needs be his peremptory will first because it is his pleasure Ezra 10. 11. Secondly because he engages his glory upon it therefore he wills it above heaven and earth Psal 148. 13. he will sooner let heaven earth come to naught then any title of his word not be done Math. 5. 18. his wisdome is engaged upon it too and therefore it is called his wisdome Prov. 2. 2. his holynesse is engaged upon it too and therefore it is called the word of the holy one Iob. 6. 10. and his power too and therefore none that neglect it shall escape except they be stronger then he ● Cor. 10. 22. and his greatnesse too his greatnesse is stamped upon every jot of his word Hos 8. 12. Thirdly it s a signe now strongly the Lord willeth his word by the greatnesse of the reward that he propounds to them that keep it Psal 19. 11. and by the greatnesse of the plagues that he threatens to them that will break it Deut. 28. 59. Fourthly it appears by the Lords importunity whereby he wooeth us to do it Math. 27. 37. Fiftly by the cost he was at to purchase his word he delivered his own son up unto death to procure us this will and testament Heb. 9. 16. and therefore how shall they escape that are stubborne against it and slight it Heb. 2. 2 3. Q. 151. What motives are there to perswade us to doe the Lords will A. First if we do the Lords will the Lord will heare our prayers Ioh. 9. 31. Secondly if we do the Lords wil we shal abide for ever 1 Ioh. 2. Thirdly 27. The doing of Gods will puts a great Nobility upon us Mark 3. 35. Fourthly hereby we shew our selves to be the servants of God Eph. 6. 6. Fiftly to do the Lords will is a signe of one that shall enter into heaven Math. 7. 21. Sixthly by so doing we please God Heb. 13. 21. when we do our owne will and not Gods we exalt our selves above God Dan. 11. 36. we said in out Baptisme that we should do the Lords will and therefore if we will not we are lying children Isa 30. 9. Q. 152. Tho fourth Petition is Give us this day our daily bread what is meant by bread here A. First Bread it selfe in particular 2 King 4. 32. which strengthens mans heart Psal 104. 15. Secondly that and also any other food Gen. 3. 19. any meales meat 2. Kings 6. 22. even flesh too Gen. 18. 5 7. and rayment too and whatsoever our naturall life needs Eccl. 11. 1. even all outward things Gen. 49 20. for not only food but rayment and warmth and other outward comforts do feed us a man may be starved with cold and therefore whatsoever helps to satisfie the desire of nature may be called bread Prov. 20. 13. Fourthly it signifies spiritually Christ too Iohn 6. 51. and his word Amo. 8. 11. and his grace 1 Cor. 5. 8. and his promise Math. 15. 26. But this spirituall bread is not here meant we pray for spirituall bread in the other petitions here only for our daily sustenance Luke 11. 3. indeed it is good to raise up our meditations from hence unto supernaturall meate Iohn 6. 27. First because man liveth not by bread only but by every word of God Math. 44. Secondly because a wise man looketh higher then the food of his carkase Prov. 30. 8. neither is the Sacramentall bread heere meant for that we pray for in the first Petition it being the fealing
