this_o chapter_n be_v to_o reduce_v the_o matter_n of_o these_o commandment_n into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o more_o explicit_a vow_n that_o so_o every_o one_o that_o own_v his_o baptism_n may_v know_v what_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o he_o be_v more_o particular_o bind_v to_o perform_v 1._o i_o believe_v in_o one_o eternal_a infinite_a glorious_a lord_n who_o have_v by_o his_o almighty_a power_n

a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v become_v my_o god_n in_o christ_n do_v renounce_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o all_o false_a god_n and_o idol_n and_o all_o profane_a irreligious_a thought_n i_o deny_v myself_o and_o whole_o resign_v up_o myself_o unto_o he_o with_o all_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o body_n i_o take_v he_o for_o my_o supreme_a lord_n lawgiver_n judge_n redeemer_n by_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o who_o alone_o i_o depend_v for_o salvation_n and_o for_o who_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o bear_v the_o cross_n and_o sacrifice_v myself_o at_o any_o time_n when_o call_v unto_o it_o he_o alone_o shall_v be_v the_o object_n of_o my_o great_a love_n fear_v service_n reverence_n confidence_n joy_n solace_n and_o delight_n to_o

will_v be_v faithful_a to_o the_o end_n as_o i_o expect_v glory_n and_o life_n everlasting_a from_o my_o god_n by_o he_o 2._o i_o will_v not_o make_v any_o image_n or_o likeness_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o water_n under_o the_o earth_n for_o to_o represent_v his_o glorious_a and_o eternal_a excellency_n and_o godhead_n but_o will_v abandon_v all_o false_a and_o base_a conceit_n and_o apprehension_n of_o he_o and_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o represent_v in_o his_o mighty_a and_o wonderful_a work_n and_o his_o holy_a and_o most_o bless_a word_n i_o will_v not_o bow_v down_o unto_o any_o image_n or_o likeness_n for_o to_o worship_v it_o nor_o perform_v any_o service_n unto_o it_o as_o though_o it_o have_v any_o divine_a excellency_n or_o sanctify_a

of_o worship_n which_o he_o have_v institute_v in_o the_o gospel_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o rule_n according_a to_o which_o i_o will_v pray_v confess_v give_v thanks_o praise_n hear_v the_o word_n

bless_a virgin_n and_o this_o shall_v move_v i_o much_o because_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n and_o will_v not_o endure_v superstition_n in_o worship_n the_o device_n of_o man_n which_o pollute_v and_o debase_v his_o service_n tend_v unto_o and_o many_o time_n end_v in_o idolatry_n which_o he_o will_v punish_v not_o only_o in_o the_o father_n who_o begin_v it_o give_v

shall_v work_v much_o upon_o i_o 3._o i_o will_v not_o swear_v vain_o or_o false_o nor_o call_v upon_o my_o god_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o my_o soul_n in_o affirm_v or_o deny_v any_o thing_n

upon_o i_o for_o he_o will_v certain_o punish_v and_o severe_o revenge_v all_o such_o iniquity_n i_o promise_v that_o when_o i_o take_v up_o the_o name_n of_o my_o god_n in_o swear_v pray_v unto_o

i_o will_v abhor_v all_o profane_a curse_v all_o blasphemous_a thought_n and_o word_n against_o his_o majesty_n his_o word_n and_o holy_a institution_n 4._o see_v my_o god_n require_v a_o set_n and_o determinate_a time_n to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o religious_a worship_n and_o his_o more_o solemn_a service_n i_o will_v remember_v and_o have_v a_o special_a care_n to_o observe_v that_o holy_a rest_n and_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o more_o holy_a duty_n converse_v with_o my_o god_n and_o prepare_v myself_o for_o that_o eternal_a sabbath_n and_o full_a communion_n with_o he_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o prepare_v to_o be_v enjoin_v by_o his_o people_n in_o the_o place_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o see_v he_o have_v grant_v mesix_n day_n for_o my_o worldly_a

that_o day_n which_o he_o have_v appropriate_v to_o himself_o and_o in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n make_v his_o own_o and_o i_o will_v have_v a_o care_v not_o only_o to_o rest_v and_o sanctify_v that_o time_n in_o my_o own_o person_n but_o i_o will_v command_v such_o as_o be_v under_o my_o power_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o cause_v they_o both_o to_o rest_n and_o sanctify_v it_o with_o i_o and_o see_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v honour_v bless_a hallow_a by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o my_o saviour_n and_o the_o come_n down_o of_o the_o holy_a

already_o come_v this_o day_n i_o will_v not_o neglect_v or_o profane_a by_o idleness_n or_o any_o work_n and_o so_o profane_o misspend_v it_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o my_o god_n and_o the_o hindrance_n of_o my_o salvation_n as_o for_o work_n of_o necessity_n of_o charity_n towards_o man_n or_o beast_n or_o such_o as_o tend_v to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o day_n i_o will_v take_v liberty_n to_o do_v they_o according_a as_o my_o god_n have_v allow_v neither_o will_v i_o neglect_v those_o solemn_a time_n of_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n appoint_v by_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a authority_n for_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n and_o i_o shall_v account_v the_o free_a and_o quiet_a enjoyment_n of_o these_o holy_a time_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n to_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n 5._o next_o unto_o my_o god_n i_o must_v love_v my_o neighbour_n make_v in_o his_o image_n and_o redeem_v with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n and_o i_o must_v love_v he_o as_o myself_o these_o be_v natural_a parent_n civil_a power_n and_o magistrate_n in_o the_o state_n minister_n in_o the_o church_n and_o all_o such_o as_o god_n have_v set_v over_o we_o for_o our_o good_a these_o i_o promise_v to_o reverence_n and_o honour_n according_a to_o their_o excellency_n and_o dignity_n i_o will_v

the_o thing_n petition_v for_o in_o these_o word_n 1._o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v sometime_o his_o decree_n sometime_o his_o command_n or_o law_n this_o will_v here_o intend_v be_v not_o his_o decree_n but_o his_o law_n the_o matter_n of_o the_o decree_n be_v something_o that_o god_n will_v do_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o command_n be_v something_o that_o man_n must_v do_v and_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o will_v once_o signify_v be_v the_o obligation_n of_o man_n unto_o obedience_n or_o upon_o disobedience_n unto_o punishment_n and_o by_o this_o will_v here_o be_v mean_v the_o law_n of_o god_n redeemer_n in_o force_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o these_o law_n by_o some_o be_v reduce_v to_o repentance_n faith_n obedience_n to_o god_n law_n continue_v after_o our_o first_o faith_n and_o conversion_n and_o this_o according_a to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o vow_n make_v in_o baptism_n all_o well_o order_v kingdom_n have_v their_o law_n which_o all_o such_o as_o will_v be_v admit_v subject_n or_o will_v receive_v protection_n and_o enjoy_v the_o privilege_n of_o that_o government_n must_v observe_v and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n redeemer_n and_o these_o law_n be_v moral_a yet_o evangelical_o understand_v or_o positive_a and_o ceremonial_a the_o moral_n be_v fundamental_a or_o superstructive_a the_o fundamental_a be_v that_o which_o require_v subjection_n and_o fealtv_n to_o the_o sovereign_a christ_n jesus_n and_o submission_n to_o his_o power_n the_o superstructive_a be_v such_o law_n moral_a as_o be_v ground_v upon_o this_o such_o be_v all_o the_o commandment_n follow_v the_o first_o and_o whereas_o some_o understand_v this_o will_n as_o well_o of_o the_o executive_a will_n as_o the_o legislative_a yet_o that_o be_v not_o proper_a though_o true_a in_o some_o sense_n 2._o to_o do_v this_o will_n do_v presuppose_v that_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v make_v know_v that_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v negligent_a or_o wilful_a may_v be_v ignorant_a this_o be_v presuppose_v 1._o we_o must_v have_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n for_o if_o in_o every_o action_n of_o a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o a_o rational_a creature_n knowledge_n be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a much_o more_o in_o this_o obedience_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v command_v by_o god_n and_o not_o to_o know_v its_o god_n command_n be_v no_o obedience_n unto_o god_n 2._o after_o this_o will_n be_v once_o know_v there_o must_v be_v a_o free_a and_o full_a consent_n and_o steadfast_a resolution_n for_o to_o conform_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v just_a and_o holy_a the_o do_v they_o be_v please_v unto_o he_o and_o beneficial_a unto_o man_n but_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n because_o we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n 3._o because_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v be_v do_v except_o we_o renounce_v our_o own_o conceit_n imagination_n lust_n and_o corrupt_a inclination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n therefore_o we_o must_v resign_v up_o our_o understanding_n to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o our_o own_o will_n whole_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n 4._o this_o do_v do_v not_o stay_v and_o rest_n in_o knowledge_n and_o good_a affection_n but_o must_v proceed_v to_o endeavour_n and_o if_o our_o power_n fail_v not_o to_o the_o do_v prosecute_a and_o finish_v of_o the_o thing_n command_v for_o our_o obedience_n shall_v reach_v to_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o the_o command_n 5._o this_o will_n be_v observe_v not_o only_o in_o do_v good_a but_o in_o suffer_v evil_a and_o that_o with_o patience_n and_o thankfulness_n 6._o we_o must_v submit_v unto_o the_o executive_a will_n of_o god_n and_o be_v content_a therewith_o even_o then_o when_o the_o work_n of_o god_n providence_n do_v cross_v we_o and_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o law_n for_o they_o may_v seem_v sometime_o to_o be_v so_o though_o they_o never_o be_v so_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v above_o these_o law_n and_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o understanding_n no_o man_n can_v do_v this_o will_n by_o nature_n except_o he_o be_v regenerate_v by_o grace_n and_o because_o our_o knowledge_n be_v imperfect_a at_o the_o first_o and_o our_o spiritual_a ability_n poor_a therefore_o we_o must_v improve_v they_o more_o and_o more_o 3._o the_o manner_n how_o this_o will_n must_v be_v perform_v and_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n be_v express_v by_o a_o pattern_n give_v we_o in_o heaven_n for_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n this_o imply_v that_o god_n have_v subject_n in_o heaven_n 2._o that_o these_o do_v his_o will_n more_o perfect_o 3._o that_o we_o must_v follow_v this_o example_n and_o aim_v at_o that_o perfection_n these_o subject_n be_v not_o the_o star_n and_o light_n of_o heaven_n as_o some_o do_v understand_v the_o word_n though_o its_o true_a that_o these_o observe_v a_o constant_a regular_a motion_n according_a to_o a_o order_n prefer_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o never_o be_v exorbitant_a or_o swerve_v from_o the_o rule_n since_o the_o beginning_n only_o if_o god_n do_v command_v they_o to_o stand_v they_o stand_v or_o go_v back_o they_o go_v back_o or_o withhold_v their_o light_n they_o refuse_v to_o give_v it_o but_o these_o be_v not_o intelligible_a creature_n or_o capable_a of_o law_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v witness_n against_o we_o confound_v we_o and_o make_v we_o for_o ever_o ashamed_a of_o our_o disobedience_n therefore_o the_o word_n be_v mean_v of_o angel_n which_o be_v spirit_n intellectual_a and_o most_o noble_a creature_n and_o their_o proper_a place_n be_v heaven_n and_o therefore_o style_v in_o scripture_n the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n of_o these_o its_o write_v that_o they_o do_v god_n commandment_n harken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o pleasure_n psal._n 103._o 20._o the_o perfection_n of_o their_o obedience_n be_v in_o this_o that_o they_o never_o sin_v but_o always_o obey_v god_n from_o the_o first_o moment_n of_o their_o creation_n they_o do_v god_n will_n 1._o always_o and_o in_o all_o time_n 2._o they_o do_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n 3._o they_o do_v it_o free_o ready_o and_o with_o joy_n and_o delight_n 4._o they_o do_v it_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o their_o perfection_n so_o that_o their_o obedience_n be_v constant_a universal_a free_a and_o perfect_a this_o example_n we_o must_v follow_v strive_v to_o attain_v their_o perfection_n though_o we_o can_v reach_v it_o and_o never_o rest_n till_o god_n have_v full_o sanctify_v we_o and_o make_v we_o perfect_o righteous_a and_o holy_a as_o they_o be_v this_o pattern_n do_v not_o exclude_v that_o of_o sanit_n and_o martyr_n though_o it_o come_v short_a yet_o we_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a example_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v more_o perfect_a than_o that_o of_o they_o because_o they_o never_o deny_v themselves_o and_o bear_v the_o cross_n as_o he_o do_v 4._o in_o these_o word_n 1._o we_o confess_v our_o ignorance_n error_n blindness_n corruption_n inclination_n to_o sin_n averseness_n to_o good_a and_o our_o impotency_n which_o by_o nature_n be_v such_o that_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o 2._o we_o pray_v for_o god_n prevent_v regene_a rate_v cooperate_a assist_v and_o consummate_v grace_n and_o that_o he_o will_v enlighten_v we_o inspire_v and_o sanctify_v we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v clear_o unsterstand_v and_o effectual_o do_v his_o will_n from_o our_o heart_n aim_v at_o his_o glory_n 3._o that_o we_o will_v sanctify_v we_o more_o and_o more_o that_o we_o may_v daily_o

this_o sanctify_a grace_n we_o desire_v as_o merit_v by_o christ_n to_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o spirit_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o expect_v it_o so_o from_o he_o as_o
