especially in the congregation of Saints for there many voyces are Gods best melodie Pray also at all times at euening Pray at all times morning and at noone day will I pray vnto thee yea at midnight will I rise to call vpon thee nay seauen times a day will I praise thee saith Dauid Daniel did so three times a day Paul did it day and night Hannah did it all the dayes of her life and the Psalmographer vowes it I will praise the Lord as long as I liue as long as I haue any being I will sing praises to my God Euchyta Pray continually not as those heretiques who would euer doe so but as Christians who know when to do so With morning prayer the day begin With euening praier the night shut in Without this prayer sit not to eate Without Gods praise rise not from me ate And forget not to pray for all persons Pray for person for the King as the head his Senators as the eyes his Cleargie as the mouth his Souldiers as the hands his subiects of all trades as the feete vpon which the commonwealth doth stand Art thou a Minister pray for thy flocke An Auditor for thy preacher A father for thy child an husband for thy wife a maister for thy seruant or a gouernour pray for thy famulie

must pray To whom we must pray not to a Calfe as the Israelites did nor to Baal as his Priests did nor to an image as idolatours did nor to any Saints as our fathers did but as we are bound to serue God alone so are we bounden to pray to God alone for he alone knoweth our wants hea●…th our petitions hath promised to help vs is able to doe for vs and is the alone present helper in the needfull time of trouble I will draw to an end How we must pray you haue seene beloued the necessitie of this seruice let me shew you a little the qualities of this seruice Pray we must in knowledge with vnderstanding in faith by beleeuing in remorse with feeling in zeale without cooling in intention without wandring in reuerence without contemning in constancie without reuolting and in loue without reuenging Let our eies be fastned hearts fixed knees bowed mouthes opened and our hands lifted vp as to the King of Kings And as Iacob would not let the Angell goe till he were blessed so let not vs let him go till wee be heard Let not the woman of Canaan be more earnest with Christ militant then wee wil be with the same Christ triumphāt Let neuer Queene of Sheba so willingly come to Salomon as wee must willingly come vnto Christ hee loueth most willing and importunate sutors Wherefore as Dauid said to Abner neuer see my face vnlesse thou bring Michal with thee so say I vnto you neuer looke God in the face vnlesse you bring prayer with you As I haue declared to you the dutie of praier so should I speake somewhat of giuing of thankes Many can bee content to pray in troubles but fewe giue thankes for deliuerance out of trouble Multi petentes pauci promittētes paucissimi reddentes saith an ancient father there are many petitioners few promisers most few thanks giuers Are there not ten cleansed where are the nine there is none returned to giue thankes but this one and he is a Samaritan If euer people vnder the cope of heauen had occasiō to praise God we are they especially for his word and gospell and for many deliuerances shewed to our Princes and people But because at the end of this treatise I haue set downe a forme both of praier thanks giuing I refer you to the perusing of those two platformes I doubt not of your patience for the length of this preface because I desire to leaue it as an ocular sermon instructing you continually how to call vpon God and preparing you to the exposition of the Lords prayer which of many through ignorance is as much prophaned as euer God was by saying the Pater-noster in Latin or repeating other rosaries in an vnknown lāguage Now hauing ended as you see these questions and answers I make question with my selfe to whom I may command them and because for these three yeares immediatly past I haue liued and preached amongst you I am bolde in generall to present them to you all You haue I confesse knowne my conuersation bin acquainted with my ministrie countenanced me in my calling maintained me in health comforted me in sicknes afforded vnto me much more kindnesse then can be requited by this paper present And since it pleaseth God to dispose of me still in such vncertaine places as that I could neuer yet say heere must I rest I blesse God that euer I came vnto you whose loue and larges hath bene such vnto me as makes me to say of my late exile Perijsse● nisi perijssem I had bene vndone if others had not sought to vndoe me And therefore though I cannot say to you as Paul did to the Corinthians I am yours to liue and die with you yet this I will say I am yours to liue and pray for you that you may so know God as you may pray to him so pray to God that you may liue before him so liue that you may euer be fit to receiue his sacrament and so both fit to know pray liue and receiue that after you haue knowne him by Christ prayed to him through Christ liued before him in Christ and receiued his fauour in the seales of Christ you may in the end dye in his faith as you haue liued in his feare and at the last day in bodyes and soules bee partakers of eternall glorye To the grace of this GOD I commend you to your grace I cōmend these treatises doubting not but many of you will be as readie to read them as you

our desires in this world we are neuer contented with our estate Wee are full of doubt for the life to come and full of distrust for the things of this life We are glued too much to this wicked world and as though we said in our harts there is no god our mindes are greatly estranged from thee And alas miserable wretches that we are we delite in doing our own willes it is not meate and drinke to vs to do thy will In the pride of our hearts wee exalte our selues aboue thee and our brethren and boaste our selues as though we had receued nothing from thee We put away from vs the euill day and liue as though we should neuer die We walke on in the hardnesse of our heartes and by reason of the abundance of vainglory we rather seeke praise of men then thy glorye Our soules are so filled with loue to our selues that wee preferre our owne pleasure peace and liberty before thy maiesty or the loue of our brethren yea hypocrisie is so rooted in our soules that we content our selues with a profession of piety and labor not for the power of Gdlinesse And as for our liues they abound with actuall transgressions againste euery one of thy ten commandements hauing broken the same ten
