flesh but upon the willingness of my spirit and so cover all my imperfections with the perfect and absolute obedience of thy dear Son that those Sacrifices which I have offered up unto thee this day may be accepted in and for that sacrifice which Christ Jesus offered up upon the cross for me And as I desire that my sacrifices may be pleasing to thee so let thine ordinances be profitable to me And as thou hast this day sown my heart with the precious seed of thy Word so let neither the fowls of the air devour it nor the cares of the world choak it but let the gracious rain of thy blessing come often upon it that it may bring forth in mee the fruits of repentance and amendment of life And forasmuch as thy Word is an unvaluable inestimable treasure better then thousands of gold and silver sweeter also then the hony the hony comb blessed Lord God be pleased still to continue it to our Land and Nation let not our crying sins of unthankfulnesse impenitency hardness of heart unfruitfulnesse under so great means of grace cause thee to remove thy candlestick or to quench the light of our Israel Inlighten also with the beams of thy Gospel those nations which yet sit in darkness and in the shadow of death adde unto thy Church daily such as shal be saved that so these sinful days being shortned the number of thine elect accomplished we may celebrate that eternal rest and Sabbath of our souls with thee in thy Kingdome Blesse O Lord all the people of this land from the highest to the lowest our King Queen our Prince the rest of the roiall stock our Ministers and Magistrates thy whole Church and every member of it in what place or case soever and prosper all designs and enterprises that are undertaken for the advancement of the Gospel and the inlargement of thy Kingdome Finally O Lord as thou hast been good to me in the passages of this day refreshing my body with thy good creatures and my soul with the spirituall rest of this holy Day so continue thy goodness to mee this night receive me into the arms of thy providence cover me with the feathers of thy wings that I may lay me down in peace and take my rest that being awakened to the comforts of the next day my mouth may be filled with thy praises and I may doe thee service in the duties of that calling wherein thou hast placed disposed of me that so thy good blessing may be still upon me and thou maist never be weary to doe me good all this and what else thou knowest needfull and expedient for me I beg in the name merits mediation and words of thy Sonne Christ Jesus saying as he himself hath taught me Our Father which art in heaven c. Directions for the due receiving of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper WEE may not presume to come to the Lords Table without a due serious preparation That which is holy must not bee given to Dogges neither must pearls bee cast before swine Mat. 7.6 Josiah charged the Levites to prepare themselves and to pray for their brethren and so to kill the passeover 2 Chr. 35.4 6. The neglect of preparation is very dangerous After the sop Satan enters into Judas John 13.27 Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shal be guilty of the body and bloud of the Lord 1 Cor. 11.27 Hee that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation unto himself 1 Cor. 11.29 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep 1 Cor. 11.30 Now this preparation consists principally in five things The first is a self-examination Let a man examine himself and so let him eate of that bread and drink of that cup. 1 Cor. 11.28 The thing chiefly to be examined is sin 1. In thought The thoughts of our hearts are only evil and that continually Gen 6.5 Out of the heart proceed evill thoughts Mat. 15.19 2. In word Idle words I say unto you that of every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof at the day of judgement Mat. 12.36 Filthy and immodest words Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth Eph. 4.22 Angry and rash words As calling our borther Raca or Thou fool Mat. 5.29 False and untrue words as lies slanders defamations c. Whosoever loveth or maketh a lie is shut out of the new Jerusalem Rev. 22.15 Profane and impious words Against GOD oathes and blasphemies Let your communication be yea yea nay nay for whatsoever is more then these commeth of evil Mat. 5.37 Against our selves or others as curses imprecations c. As he loved cursing so let it come unto him As he clothed himself with cursing like as with a garment so let it come into his bowels like water and like oyle into his bones Psal 109.18.19 3. In deed This is either of Omission or Commission Both are pointed at in that sentence of the Apostle The good which I would do I doe not But the evill which I would not do that I do Rom. 7.19 Thus you have the thing to be examined Now the rule of this examination must be the Law of God For by the Law is the knowledg of sin Rom. 3.20 I had not known sin but by the Law Rom. 7.7 Hence it is that our Church which hath disposed all things wisely and sweetly in the Liturgy hath appointed the commandments to be read before the admimstration of this Sacrament that men might see their sins in the glasse of Gods Law The second thing required of a worthy receiver is Repentance and Contrition The Paschall Lambe was to be eaten with sowr herbs And Christ our Passeover must be received with a broken and a contrite spirit With a bitter soul With a weeping eye This bread must be eaten with the sweat of our brows i.e. our tears And I may say of the wine in this Sacrament as the Mother of Solomon said unto him Prov. 31.6 Give this wine unto such as bee of heavy hearts And though in the sense of our own unworthinesse we may cry out with Paul Who is fit for these things Yet we may comfort our selves with that of the Psalmist A broken and a contrite heart O God thou wilt not despise Ps 51. The third thing required of a Comunicant is Faith He must beleeve that Jesus Christ is the Messias and Saviour of the world He must beleeve that he was crucified shed his bloud He must beleeve that the merits of his crosse and passion are able to save sinners He must beleeve that these merits are conveyed to him in this Sacrament being rightly administred and duly received For what was bequeathed in the Testament is dispensed in the Sacraments This faith is the wedding garment he that intruded to the feast without it was bound hand foot and cast into utter darkness Mat.

CONFESSION OF SINNES COnfession is a branch of praier which searches out our sins and discloses and spreads them open before the Lord as Hezekiah did those letters which he received from the King of Assyria or as Josuah opened the cave of Makkedah and brought out the five Kings that were there hidden so this opens the heart and brings out our hidden and bosome sins to light and execution And as the opening of a vein rectifies the distempers of the body so this cures the maladies of the soul for if we confesse our sinnes God is faithfull and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness In a word it is commanded by God and practised by the Saints and Solomon makes it the character of a righteous man to accuse himself in the beginning of his praier A man dreames when he is asleep but cannot declare his dream till he awake Confession is a sign that we are awakned from the sleep of sin by the grace of God I said I will confesse my transgressions to the Lord and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin Psal 32.5 I have not covered my transgressions as Adam by hiding mine iniquity in my bosome Job 31.33 But I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me Psal 51.3 THE LETANY of Confession BEhold I was shapen in wickedness and in sin hath my mother conceived me Lord be merciful to me a sinner When I was a childe I spake as a childe I understood as a childe I thought as a child and as yet have not put away childish things from me Lord be mercifull to me a sinner When I grew up the lusts of the flesh grew too strong for me they fought against me and prevailed the cares of the world distracted me the pleasures of the world deceived me the pride of life swelled me desire of revenge inflamed me and sin reigned in my mortal body Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have given up the members of my body as weapons of sin and instruments of unrighteousness my head to imagine mischief my hands to work wickedness my tongue to swearing and blasphemy my eares to filthy and corrupt communication my eyes to behold vanity my feet to stand in the way of sinners and to walk in the counsell of the ungodly so that from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot there is no sound part in me Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have either omitted good duties or done them slightly and wearily I have neglected the time of my visitation I have not known in my day the things that belong to my peace Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have offended thee and trespassed my neighbour by my improvidence and rashnesse by my anger and intemperate speech by my wilfulness envy malice and uncharitableness Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have sinned in all them whom I have corrupted by my words counsel or example in all them whom I should have reproved whom I might have reformed and did not Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have sinned in neglecting opportunities to visit the house and table of the Lord in unworthy and unprepared resort thither in wandring and idle thoughts there either diverting me from the work of thy holy worship or distracting me in it Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have sinned in unreverent and unprofitable hearing thy Word in cold and careless invocation of thy Name without zeale and holy affection which turned my prayers into sin Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have sinned by unthankfull passing over thy many good favours by slighting them with an unhearty commemoration so that my sacrifice of praise became the sacrifice of fools Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have broken all my vows and purposes I have not kept my solemn promises of forsaking my sin amending my life Lord be merciful to me a sinner I have delaied my repentance I have resisted the checks of mine
purple and fare deliciously every day others lie at the gates and have not so much as the crums of their Tables But in the grave rich and poor meet together and the ulcers of Lazarus will make as good dust as the paint of Jezabel Saul being anointed King over Israel was appointed to go to Rachels sepulchre that the sight of a Sepulchre might allay the haughtinesse of his new honour 1 Sam. 10.2 Kings must pile up gaeir Crownes at the thtes of the grave and lay down their Scepters at the feet of death The daughters of Jerusalem which are haughty walking with stretched forth necks and wanton eys mincing as they goe and making a tinkling with their feet must drop into the grave where in stead of sweet smels there shal be stink and in stead of well set hair baldness Isa 3.16 24. They that glory in their Ancestours in the nobleness of their birth and bloud must make their bed in the dark and acknowledge corruption for their father and the Worm for their mother and sister Job 17.14 I have said Ye are gods and all of you are children of the most high but ye shall die like men Psal 82.6 7. Why then art thou proud O Dust and Ashes Nulla discretio inter cadavera mortuorum nisi quod gravius foetent divitum corpora distenta luxuriâ Amb. Hexam l. 6. c. 8. CAP. II. It is profitable against covetousness THe rich man in the Gospel when he had built his barns and inned his harvest was called away and carries nothing with him of all the store he had provided Luke 12. The Spider spins out her own bowels to make a Cobweb and presently a maid comes with a broome and sweeps it down Horses at night are unladen of their burthens and turned into a dirty Stable with a galled back So are rich men into the grave and for the most part with a galled conscience A Mill wears it selfe with grinding though it turn about continually yet it removes not out of its place It is but in vain for men to rise up early and to sit up late and to eat the bread of carefulness For naked came I out of my mothers womb and naked shall I return thither Job 1.21 I hated all the labour which I had taken under the Sun because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me And who knoweth whether hee shall be a wise man or a fool Yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured and wherein I have shewed my self wise under the Sun This is also vanity Ec. 2.18 19 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew surely they are disquieted in vain he heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather thē Ps 39.6 We brought nothing with us into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out of it 1 Tim. 6.7 Why then art thou coveteous O Dust and Ashes Facile contemnit omnia qui se semper cogitat moriturum Jeron in Ep. ad Paulin. CAP. III. It is profitable against Lust THe Prodigall seeing many spectacles of mortality by reason of the great famine leaves his concubines and riotous living and returns again to his Father Luke 15. One going to the stews meets by the way a dead corps carried to the grave the sight whereof made such an impression in him that he goes back again and ever after lived chast and continent Let not sinne raign in your mortall bodies that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof Rom. 6.12 I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts which warre against the soul 1 Pet. 2.11 The argument used by these Apostles to beat down in us the lust of sin and the sin of lust is the mortality of our bodies Why then art thou lustfull ô Dust and Ashes Thus we see that the meditation of death is a soverein antidote against all the evill that is in the world For all that is in the world is either the lust of the flesh or the lust of the eyes or the pride of life 1 Joh. 2.19 Nil sic revocat à peccato quam frequens morti's meditatio Aug. SECTION II. THere is nothing more certain then death yet nothing more uncertain in the circumstances of it Certain it is we must all die but where when or how we shall die of all things is most uncertain CAP. I. Death is certain ABraham the Father of the faithfull and the friend of God died Iacob wrestled with an Angel and prevailed yet death was too hard for him David was a man after Gods own heart one that triumphed over ten thousand Philistims yet death triumphed over him Solomon knew the vertues of all plants from the Cedar in Libanus to the hyssope upon the wall yet no plant had this vertue to make him immortall The fathers have eaten Manna and are dead There is but one way into the world but there are a thousand out of it Man when he comes into the world is like an hour-glasse new turned up which never ceases running till it be all out Like Peter and Iohn we run who shall first come at the Sepulchre John 20.4 And they that are there already rot and crumble away to make roome for us that must come after them Dust thou art and to dust shalt thou return Gen. 3.19 What man is he that liveth and shall not see death Psal 89.48 The dust shall return to the earth as it was the spirit shall return unto God that gave it Eccles 12.7 It is appointed for all men once to die Heb. 9.27 We must needs die and are as water spilt upon the ground which cannot be gathered up again 2 Sam. 14.14 CAP. II. The time uncertain AN infant in the wombe knows not the time when hee shall come into the world and being come knows not the time when hee shall go out of it The rich man promised himself many years but fool that he was that night his soul was fetcht from him Lu. 12. Behold now I am old and know not the day of my death Gen. 27.2 One dieth in his full strength when his brests are full of milk and his bones are moistned with marrow another dieth in the bitternesse of his soul Job 21.23 24. Man also knoweth not his time as the fishes that are taken in an evill net and as the birds that are caught in the snare so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falleth suddenly upon them Eccles 9.12 God would have us ignorant of the last day that we might be ready every day Take yee heed watch and pray for ye know notwhen the time is Mark 13.33 To deferre repentance then till to morrow is very dangerous God hath promised thee pardon if thou dost repent to day but if thou dost not repent he hath not promised that thou shalt live till to morrow Boast not thy selfe of to morrow for thou knowest not what a day may
therefore from the bar of thy justice to the bowels of thy mercy beseeching thee in that day to deal with the soul of thy servant not as a severe Judge but as a mercifull Jesus It will be O Lord a day of wrath but gather me under the shadow of thy wings untill the indignation be past over It will be a day of darknesse of gloominesse but lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon me and I shall be saved It will be a day of Judgment but in that day by thine agony and bloody passion and by whatsoever thou hast done or suffered for me good Lord deliver me And to this end I beseech thee give me grace to live soberly righteously and godly in this present world to keep a good conscience void of offence towards thee my God and towards all men to abound always in the works of charity and mercy and to judg and condemn my self here that I may not be condemned hereafter That so whensoever this day shall seise upon me I may not be bound up with the bundle of tares which shall be cast into unquenchable fire but gathered with the wheat into thy garners and set with the sheep upon thy right hand and called in the number of those blessed ones to inherit a Kingdom that Crown of righteousnesse which thou hast purchased and prepared for all those that love and expect that day of thy appearing Now unto thee ô Christ together with thy Father thy blessed Spirit be ascribed all power praise dignity and dominion now and for ever Amen A PRAYER FOR the Morning OEternall and most glorious Lord God and in Iesus Christ our merciful and loving Father we thine unworthy creatures sinful dust and ashes are here in all humility of souls bodies prostrate at the lowest footstool of thy glorious Majesty beseeching thee to bow down thine ears unto our prayers and to open thine eyes upon our supplication who from the ground bottom of our hearts do acknowledg and confess that we have been unprofitable servants prodigall children bad stewards of that time which thou hast afforded us for repentance good works of those talents which thou hast committed to our improvement If we put our hands into our bosomes we must needs draw them out all leprous For we are the brood of rebellious and disobedient Parents our hearts are cages of unclean birds of noisome lusts and the thoughts thereof have been evil and only evill and that continually And if ô Lord we look forth unto the actions of our lives there is no sin which we have not committed no commandment which we have not broken These eys which now look up unto heaven have beheld vanity these tongues which now call upon thee have blasphemed thee and these hands which we now lift up unto thee have been many times lift up against thee and thy Statutes So that we have made our selves unworthy of the least of thy mercies but worthy of the greatest of thy judgments But deal not with us after our sins neither reward us according to our iniquities Spare us good Lord spare thy people whom thou hast created after thine own Image and redeemed with thine own Blood And according to the multitude of thy tender compassions which have ever been of old to us blot out the multitude of our transgressions Pardon our sins and receive us again unto thy favour for his sake and sufferings who hath satisfied thy Justice to the utmost farthing And for the short residue and remainder of our days give us grace to consecrate it to thy service to redeem that time which we cannot recall and to make our calling and election sure before we go hence and be no more seen And because the corruptions of our nature are too many and too strong for us and the Divel like a roaring Lion goes about continually to devour us leave us not to our selves but assist us by thy grace perfect thy strength in our weaknesse and preserve both our bodies and souls spotlesse and unblameable that when we shall have finished our course and run the race of our naturall Pilgrimage we may receive that crown of righteousnesse which thou the righteous and just Judg hast laid up for all them that love and expect the day of thy appearing And together with us we intreat thee for a blessing upon our King Queen Prince and the rest of the Roiall Progeny upon our Councellors Ministers Magistrates upon our friends kinred and acquaintance upon the whole Church and every afflicted member of it And accept of our morning sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for all the mercies and favours comforts and deliverances which from time to time thou hast afforded and continued to us We thank thee for thy last mercy in preserving us from the dangers of this night past for refreshing our bodies with seasonable rest and bringing us safe to the beginning of this day Lord what is man that thou art so mindfull of him or the Son of man that thou shouldest thus visit remember him Give us grace O Lord to remember thee and to be mindfull of thy mercies that we may praise thee for all the truth and faithfulnesse which thou shewest to us in the land of the living that as thou hast brought us to the comforts of this day so thou mayest go along with us in the same to enable us for the duties of those callings wherein we are placed and to deliver us from those dangers to which we are exposed even for Jesus Christ his sake in whose most blessed name and words we conclude these our weak and imperfect prayers saying as he himself hath taught us in his holy Gospel O our Father c. A PRAYER FOR the Evening O Most glorious and ever living LORD God which inhabitest eternity and dwellest in that light which no mortall eye can attain unto the God in whom we live and move and have our being we thine unworthy servants do here in all lowlinesse and humility present our persons and prayers before thy divine Majesty confessing acknowledging that we were conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity and as if that had been but a smal matter we have heaped up our actuall transgressions as the sand upon the Sea shore and as the stars in the firmament for number We have broken thy Commandements we have prophaned thy Sabbaths we have dishonoured thy name we have abused thy creatures we have neglected the day of our visitation turned thy grace into wantonness whereby we have most justly provoked thy wrath and everlasting displeasure we have wounded our own consciences weakned our assurance of salvation grieved thy good Spirit which sealeth us up unto the day of our redemption And now Lord if thou shouldest deal with us after our deservings thou mightest pour upon us the deluge of thy wrath and fury to sweep us out of the land of the living into that place
