A26895	The Christian religion expressed I, briefly in the ancient creeds, the Ten commandments, and the Lords prayer, and, II, more largely in a profession taken out of the Holy Scriptures, containing 1, the articles of the Christian belief, 2, our consent to the gospel covenant, 3, the sum of Christian duty, according to the primitive simplicity, purity, and practice, fitted to the right instruction of the ignorant, the promoting of holiness, and the charitable concord of all true believers ... / by Richard Baxter.

these_o bless_a end_n we_o must_v beg_v such_o necessary_n of_o our_o life_n as_o the_o supportation_n of_o our_o nature_n for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n require_v and_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n through_o christ_n which_o yet_o we_o can_v expect_v to_o receive_v if_o we_o from_o our_o heart_n forgive_v not_o other_o and_o a_o gracious_a preservation_n from_o temptation_n or_o the_o power_n of_o they_o and_o from_o satan_n and_o sin_n the_o great_a evil_n that_o so_o the_o holiness_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n may_v show_v that_o we_o be_v the_o loyal_a subject_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o that_o we_o acknowledge_v and_o magnify_v his_o sovereign_a power_n and_o live_v as_o a_o people_n devote_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o all_o this_o we_o must_v beg_v in_o a_o humble_a sense_n of_o our_o great_a unworthiness_n misery_n necessity_n and_o insufficiency_n to_o help_v ourselves_o and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o understanding_n and_o faith_n and_o therefore_o not_o in_o a_o tongue_n that_o we_o understand_v not_o and_o with_o fervency_n and_o uncessant_a importunity_n as_o direct_v excite_v and_o strengthen_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n 27._o our_o thanksgiving_n unto_o god_n must_v not_o be_v like_o the_o pharisee_n in_o hypocrisy_n and_o pride_n or_o to_o make_v ostentation_n of_o thing_n that_o we_o never_o have_v but_o in_o humility_n and_o holy_a joyfulness_n of_o mind_n we_o must_v declare_v our_o thankfulness_n for_o our_o creation_n redemption_n justification_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n our_o sanctification_n and_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o and_o help_v thereunto_o for_o the_o gospel_n and_o ministry_n and_o the_o plantation_n preservation_n and_o propagation_n of_o the_o church_n thereby_o for_o common_a and_o special_a work_n of_o providence_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n our_o brethren_n or_o ourselves_o for_o mercy_n ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a spiritual_a or_o corporal_a for_o prevention_n of_o evil_n or_o remove_v they_o for_o the_o quality_n and_o degree_n the_o suitableness_n and_o seasonableness_n of_o all_o our_o mercy_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o aggravation_n especial_o for_o those_o that_o most_o promote_v our_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o the_o public_a good_a and_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n 28._o the_o matter_n of_o our_o holy_a praise_n of_o the_o lord_n must_v be_v his_o bless_a and_o infinite_a be_v and_o nature_n and_o all_o his_o attribute_n his_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n his_o truth_n and_o holiness_n and_o love_n his_o absolute_a dominion_n his_o sovereignty_n and_o fatherly_a benignity_n his_o justice_n and_o his_o mercy_n even_o as_o they_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o in_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o saint_n and_o all_o these_o his_o work_n also_o must_v be_v praise_v in_o subserviency_n to_o his_o praise_n and_o because_o it_o be_v a_o most_o high_a and_o excellent_a duty_n to_o praise_v the_o lord_n we_o must_v strive_v to_o do_v it_o with_o all_o the_o faith_n and_o reverence_n and_o admiration_n and_o love_n and_o delight_n and_o joy_n and_o cheerfulness_n that_o possible_o we_o can_v attain_v and_o this_o with_o constancy_n as_o our_o daily_a work_n with_o our_o eye_n on_o heaven_n where_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o in_o perfection_n to_o all_o eternity_n 29._o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n shall_v be_v read_v in_o a_o tongue_n that_o the_o people_n understand_v so_o shall_v the_o pure_a exact_a translation_n of_o they_o be_v use_v that_o can_v be_v have_v and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o the_o communion_n or_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v and_o endeavour_v that_o all_o neighbour_n church_n that_o be_v of_o one_o language_n do_v all_o agree_v in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o one_o translation_n 30._o though_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o gospel_n may_v be_v public_o expound_v and_o apply_v by_o the_o read_n of_o the_o exposition_n and_o sermon_n of_o other_o yet_o as_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v able_a to_o perform_v this_o work_n themselves_o by_o the_o ability_n give_v they_o from_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o just_a and_o edify_a mean_n so_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o by_o diligent_a study_v meditation_n and_o prayer_n these_o ability_n be_v improve_v and_o that_o from_o this_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a treasure_n within_o they_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v draw_v forth_o sound_a explication_n with_o pertinent_a lively_a application_n of_o the_o truth_n 31._o so_o also_o in_o the_o public_a prayer_n though_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o to_o read_v the_o word_n of_o prayer_n prescribe_v we_o by_o other_o yet_o as_o all_o minister_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o pray_v themselves_o from_o the_o knowledge_n and_o feeling_n of_o their_o own_o and_o the_o people_n want_n so_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o their_o grace_n and_o holy_a ability_n be_v ordinary_o exercise_v in_o such_o prayer_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o restrain_v from_o speak_v to_o god_n in_o such_o sound_n and_o meet_v expression_n as_o shall_v either_o present_o or_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o preparation_n proceed_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o prayer_n excite_v and_o draw_v forth_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n but_o whether_o any_o particular_a pastor_n shall_v use_v a_o stint_a form_n of_o word_n impose_v by_o other_o or_o invent_v by_o himself_o or_o whether_o he_o shall_v pray_v without_o such_o stint_a form_n or_o both_o by_o turn_n be_v a_o point_n to_o be_v determine_v according_a to_o his_o own_o ability_n and_o the_o state_n of_o his_o flock_n and_o other_o accident_n but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o necessity_n in_o itself_o as_o to_o lay_v the_o unity_n or_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n or_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o pastor_n and_o worshipper_n of_o christ_n upon_o it_o 32._o the_o public_a praise_n of_o god_n must_v be_v express_v by_o the_o pastor_n in_o such_o word_n as_o be_v produce_v by_o that_o holy_a knowledge_n faith_n admiration_n love_n and_o delight_n with_o which_o his_o soul_n shall_v be_v possess_v that_o be_v so_o nigh_o to_o god_n and_o also_o by_o the_o recitation_n of_o sacred_a psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o by_o the_o cheerful_a sing_n of_o such_o by_o the_o church_n wherein_o the_o melody_n must_v be_v spiritual_o and_o not_o carnal_o use_v for_o the_o assist_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o holy_a alacrity_n and_o joy_n that_o be_v require_v in_o so_o high_a a_o work_n and_o not_o to_o draw_v off_o our_o mind_n from_o the_o matter_n nor_o to_o stop_v at_o the_o please_n of_o our_o ear_n such_o psalm_n also_o may_v be_v recite_v or_o sing_v as_o contain_v matter_n of_o confession_n of_o sin_n petition_n thanksgiving_n and_o such_o narrative_n as_o tend_v to_o praise_v 33._o the_o form_n of_o word_n to_o be_v say_v and_o sing_v must_v be_v take_v especial_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o which_o use_n we_o have_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n and_o other_o hymn_n and_o also_o we_o may_v use_v such_o as_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v compose_v by_o wise_a and_o holy_a man_n agreeable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o fuit_v to_o the_o gospel_n frame_n of_o worship_n and_o as_o far_o as_o may_v be_v even_o in_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o insist_v upon_o a_o concord_n in_o lesser_a thing_n when_o it_o can_v be_v attain_v without_o the_o violation_n of_o concord_n in_o great_a thing_n yet_o be_v it_o much_o to_o be_v desire_v and_o endeavour_v that_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o same_o language_n especial_o that_o be_v near_o and_o in_o the_o same_o dominion_n shall_v agree_v in_o use_v the_o same_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n for_o matter_n and_o meet_a and_o that_o the_o version_n so_o agree_v on_o be_v the_o
