tongues or ignorance And slubbering over any Ordinance For all irreverence in the things of heaven Argue's a heart that is profanely given This mightily condemn's the careless minde That move's the lip and leave 's the heart behinde That heedless is of what wee execute In prayer mindeless and psalm-singing mute Entring on duty with a heart unbent And unprepar'd receiving Sacrament Beeing at Baptism as a bare spectator No whit regarding the baptismal water Unreverent posture when they go to pray As if wee serv'd an image made of clay Sleepy and lazy prayers in our bed Unless by weakenss so occasioned Creeds Avemaries and I know not what Jabbled for prayers like the parrot's chat Yea and our Lord 's own words to idolize As if the bare rehearsal did suffice Jeering the Saints for their religion's sake All these for hainous profanations take Hearing without affection to apply Feeding our ears but not our hearts thereby Ore-curious questions wilfull cavillation Unreverent gesture or misapplication Entring the Church and starting out again When there are holy things to entertain Going to sit and sleep to muse and gaze To state on Beauty or where pomp doth blaze To keep our heart or eye without a curb And to do any thing that will disturb And lastly with a wicked life to stain A good profession take's God's name in vain Duties and Trespasses implied in the Fourth Commandment THe Fourth require's a seventh of all our dayes Spent in religion for our Maker's prais Preparing still against each Sabbath day Then rising early and avoid delay The chief are publick duties singing Psalms Pray'rs sermons sacraments and giving alms In private also wee must read and pray Discours sing Psalms and meditate that day Repeat the holy lessons wee have heard Nor may the works of mercy be defer'd Wee may do needfull works of earthly kinde Yet should wee do them with more heavenly minde Seasoning our corporal food with spiritual salt And all that edifie's wee should exalt At baptism wee must minde the bath of blood And spirit of grace pour'd on us as a flood Praying for him or her that is baptis'd That they with us may bee Spiritualliz'd Receiving Sacraments with hearts prepar'd With faith and charity and great regard Noting the breaking of the Corps-like bread The wine pour'd out as Christ his blood was shed Remembring he was God that could foretell By apt resemblance what himself befell The giving taking and to taste and feed Are all to be appli'd with carefull heed The Parent master and the magistrate Must look to all that are within their gate But these offences every one of them The fourth Commandement doth much condem● Not to confess or not to understand The moral nature of the fourth Command Not to prefer redemption to creätion As caus sufficient of the day's translation Forgetfulness of Sabbaths when they com Or out of slothfulness to stay at home Preferring duties don in private sort Before the place where all the Church resort Neglect of preparation meer delay Wearie attendance haste to get away Leaving of holie things som part behinde And suffering loos distractions in our mind A heart that run's a tongue that talk's in vain Of worldly toyes and following lures of gain To lay instruction or good things aside Neglecting to becom our families guide To be employ'd in errands trim attires Or labors which a common day require's Say that on Sabbaths need should chance enfor● The hasty bu●ial of a noysome cors Yet can it not compel in any wise To keep the funeral solemnities To ring and riot il become's a hers Much less when men should Christianly convers To crowd the Corpses in the Church that day Argue's the buriers are as dead as they Preambulations chattings or pastimes Feasts journyes visits or som lewder crimes As diceing carding Som are lewder yet Hurrying men headlong to the dreadfull pit As Stews and Stage-playes every day abhor'd But much more on the Sabbath of the LORD And lastly suffering sinners to profane The holy Sabbath when wee might restrain Although som sin by scrupulositie Pining poor creatures under miserie When sudden sickness or extreme distress Call's for a speedy succour and redress As when indeed wee cannot com or stay Our will 's accepted any hour o th' day For this rule hold's in Sabbath-exercise God will have Mercy and not Sacrifice Duties and Trespasses implied in the Fift Commandment HEre are the Duties and Digressions touch'd Which in the fift Commandement are couch'd First then the powers Supreme must first of all Bee sure they have a right and lawfull call Good wholsom Lawes they must by counsel frame ●nferior Powers must execute the same Unrighteous Lawes Superiors must repeal And set in order Chuch and Common-weal Even Kings and Princes daily should convers With sacred Scriptures and those rules rehers ●nd in their proper persons most excell 〈◊〉 godliness and guide their Housholds well Brave men they must promote of able parts Incourage virtue and reward deserts Judges they must appoint and officers And stir up able teaching Ministers Giving them charge that with alacrity They do their several duties faithfully Who they that prove corrupt and vile must bee Remov'd and censur'd by severe decree The Judges must give light to every cause Respect no persons but regard the laws They must maintain true freedom faithfully Propertie peace and civil honestie But most of all Religion that must have A sure defens against each storm and wave And thus far doubtless should compulsion go To cause to practise what men clearly know Wherefore the Christian magistracie ought Take care that people may bee truly taught And for that teaching caus them to maintain A learned Ministry to take the pain They are obliged allwaies to suppress Strife whoredom drunkenness and Idleness Profaneness conjuring witchcraft blasphemie Idolatry Heresie vain astrologie And all iniquitie since both tables are Committed to their custody and care All publick persons that are put in trust Must bee religious wise couragious just Patient to hear and hating covetousness Give good example and good Counsel press With Justice Equitie must go along Els utmost right may prove extreamest wrong Especially when as the innocent Among the guilty suffer punishment This care concern's likewise the Jurie-men And Officers and every one of them Umpires and Abitrators are no less Oblig'd to Equitie and righteousness But usurpation of the throne one hour Or putting vicious men in place of power Rigor remisness partiality Taking of bribes exaction tyrannie And toleration of those evil things The Lord's sure wrath upon the Rulers bring 's If Magistrates encourage not the Word And godly people by the civil sword If they reliev not the oppress'd with speed And let not flie against an evill deed If they will act no more then for their friends Or for their interests and worldly ends If they be cold or take an evil cours They hearten sinners and themselvs sin wors 'T is sin to
