the cure In his default the Officers of the Church must make supply by their discipline And in their neglect either the civil Magistrate must reforme both Church and Families and single persons or expect nothing but ruine and destruction of all Now seeing as was said it is not possible or not very probable for us Ministers to perswade every single person to a serious and through Reformation of himselfe It remaines to us in the second place to try how far we can prevaile with chief Housholders to act their part to make their Families good so all good who have both power in their hands and all good reason to move them thereunto as shall appear hereafter For this purpose I have chosen this text as a worthy Instance of an Exemplary Resolution in a great and good Housholder that renowned Joshua by name Who leaving others to their choice for himselfe and family undertakes to be Religious Doe you sayes he as you please chuse what Gods you will serve But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Parts of the text In the words we may without much curiosity of Division consider these general parts 1. The Epitome of all Religion expressed in these words To serve the Lord which is the summe of both Tables of the Law especially of the first 2. Joshuahs Resolution to serve the Lord wherein we have three particulars 1. His appropriation of it to himselfe As for me I will serve the Lord. 2. The extension of his Religion to his family As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. 3. The Order of it First himselfe will be Religious and then his house I and my house c. 1. For the first The service of God to be the sum of all Religion 1 The Epitome of Religion it appears by those places of Scripture where true Religion is commanded Exod. 23 25. Ye shall serve the Lord your God To serve God Deut. 10.12 What doth the Lord thy God require of thee but to serve him with all thy heart and all thy soul How To keep the Commandements of the Lord c. That is all his Commandements of both Tables Some there are who distinguish Worship and Service making Worship the object of the first Table and Service of the second but without any ground of Scripture for that holds out Service as more general and including Worship as a more special part of Gods Service as is evident in the texts above cited and many more like unto them We may better distinguish the Service of God into Imediate which is properly called Worship in the fi●st Table and Mediate by men which is called Righteousnesse in the second Table for though we do not properly worship God by doing the works of righteousnesse yet are we said to serve God in doing to men the duties of the second Table As the Apostle sayes of servants That in obeying their Masters they serve the Lord Christ Col. 3.24 We note this because it will be of use anone 2 Joshua's Resolution 2. For the particulars of the second part Joshuahs resolution many things might be obseved but we shall wave them all and look at him onely as an Housholder with Relation to his family I and my house will serve the Lord and draw out this one Observation That it is the property Observation and duty of a good Housholder to provide and taks care that all under his charge doe serve the Lord that is be religious and righteous the one towards God the other towards men 1 Proved We shall first confirme it and then apply it confirme it 1. In general 1 In general by examples And here we have first the commended example of Abraham the father of the faithful by God himselfe Gen. 18.19 I know Abraham that he will command his children and his houshold after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgement c. Which also he practised Gen. 14.14 where we heare of his trained or instructed catechised servants And Gen. 17.23 being entered into Covenant himselfe and circumcised he circumcised the same day Ishmael his sonne and all that were borne in his house Gen. 35.2 Jacob purgeth his family and bought with money This Family Religion or Reformation is graciously and couragiously resolved on by David Psal 101.2 c. I will behave my selfe wisely in a perfect way I will walke within my house with a perfect heart c. And marke his wisdom both in the constitution and ordering of his Family ver 3. I will set no wicked thing a thing of Belial the discription of a wicked person before mine eyes I hate the work of them that turn aside c. I will not know a wicked person ver 4. as if said None such shall come into my house He that worketh deceit shall not dwell in my house or if he doe unawares come in he that telleth lyes shall not tarry in my sight ver 7. Who then shall serve him he that will serve God with him Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the Land that they may dwell with me He that walketh in a perfect way as I resolved to do ver 2. he shall serve me Hence it is observable in the New Testament that as a proper consequence of the Housholders conversion when any such believed his Family believed with him Joh. 4.53 it s said of that Nobleman Himselfe believed and his whole house So Acts 16.15 Lydia was converted baptized and her houshold and ver 33. the Jaylor was baptized he and all his as if they had learn'd Joshuahs resolution As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. This for the general 2 Specially in two Respects 2. We shall look more specially and particularly at those Duties which concern the good Housholder to performe and practice and that with Respect either to his Relations or to the particular Services required in the Family 1 To the several Relations in the Family As 1. In respect to his several Relations in the Family which oftentimes if not alwayes are of three sorts 1. As an● Husband to a wife 2. As a Parent to children 3. As a Master to servants The same person may stand in this threefold Relation and in all these the Duty lies upon him to see that all under his charge do serve the Lord See the particulars 1. As an Husband to a Wife 1 As an Husband to a Wife And the Apostle hath instructed him in that 1 Pet. 3.7 Likewise ye Husbands dwell with them your wives according to knowledge c. That is being able and ready to instruct and guide them in the service and wayes of God This is implied also 1 Cor. 14.35 If wives will learn any thing let them ask their Husbands at home and ver 34. they are commanded obedience as also saith the Law which implyes he hath power to command them
