A Brief Exposition OF THE Ten Commandments AND THE LORDS PRAYER By Symon Patrick Rector of St. Paul Covent-Garden London Printed for Francis Tyton at the three Daggers near the Inner-Temple Gate in Fleetstreet 1668. TO MY Well-beloved FRIENDS THE PARISHIONERS OF St. Paul Covent Garden THere being a solemn Vow upon you made in Baptism to keep Gods holy Will and Commandments it 's as necessary to understand them as it is to be honest men and not to falsifie or break your word For an help therefore to the meanest capacities in a business of such importance I have drawn up an exposition of the Ten Commandments in this plain and familiar way of Questions and Answers not knowing what other course to take that would be of such general use For the Ignorant can reap little benefit by that which is purposely contrived to the pitch of the wise but there is no man of such understanding that may not serve himself very much of that which is writ to the simple people And to say the truth the plainer and more common any notion is of the greater weight and moment we shall find it and the more every man is concerned in it Let me intreat you then not to despise this little Paper but to read it deliberately and ponder every sentence in it For it being so brief that the memory may not be burdened there is not a word superfluous which is not necessary to the unfolding the sense of the command Search the Scriptures also whereby every thing is proved and afterward search and examine your selves about the breach of any of these Precepts either in whole or in part And if the Judgements of God that lie now so heavy upon us have begot any purposes of amendment do not add this new aggravation of your guilt to break those fresh Vows whereby you have bound your selves to God And for the strengthening of them Give your selves to Prayer as the Psalmists phrase is Psal 109.4 Considering also seriously as an help to that what it is you ask of God in that form of Prayer which our Lord made of which I have also added a short Explication And remember withall that all the Prayers you make will not profit you unless they cause you to keep Gods commands better which is the end likewise of all you believe Read over that which we call the Apostles Creed and you will find that every branch of it doth naturally bring forth an holy life When you confess God to be the Creator of the World it plainly implyes his Supream Authority over you and the obedience you owe him upon that account When you acknowledge Jesus to be his Son and your Lord it layes a necessary ingagement on you to be governed by those Laws which the Father Almighty hath sent him to give us For he dyed and rose again to confirm and seal them He ascended to Heaven to take upon him the government of the whole World And he will come again to judge both the quick and dead according to their works And therefore what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness that you may be found in peace at his appearing But it is not my business now to expound the Creed whose words are better understood than its design which is I say to lead us to the obedience of Gods holy will in all things That is it which I would gladly promote And I earnestly beseech you that this small labour may have no small effect but be so successful as to excite in you such a working Faith as will save your souls God Almighty take you into his protection and revoke the Orders he hath given to the destroying Angel that you may not die but live to declare the works of the Lord and to pay your Vows to the Most High Amen Sept. 13. 1665. Exodus XX. GOD spake all these words saying I am the LORD thy God which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage 1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me 2 Thou shalt not make unto thée any graven image nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth thou shalt not bow down thy self to them nor serve them For I the LORD thy God am a Iealous God visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my Commaundments 3 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain 4 Remember the Sabbath day to kéep it holy Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God in it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son nor thy daughter thy man-servant nor thy maid-servant nor thy Cattel nor thy stranger that is within thy gates For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it 5 Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thée 6 Thou shalt not kill 7 Thou shalt not commit adultery 8 Thou shalt not steal 9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour 10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant nor his oxe nor his ass nor any thing that is thy neighbours The LORDS PRAYER OVR Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever Amen A Brief EXPOSITION OF THE Ten Commandments AND THE Lords Prayer Question WHat doth the Preface to the Commandments teach you Answer Lev. 11.44 45.
