Lam. 3.22 Joel 2.13 and 2 Pet. 3.9 c Mal. 5.45 Act. 14. vers 16 17. Q. How are we to conceive of Gods Truth and Faithfullnesse A. God hath revealed his will unto us as it is indeed and therefore he is stiled a God of Truth and his Word is the Word of Truth And as the God of Truth cannot lie so he cannot denie himselfe but will certainely performe whatsoever he hath decreed and purposed and this is properly called his Faithfullnesse This Truth and Faithfullnesse of God appeareth in the constant performance of all his Promises and Threatnings Deut. 32. vers 4. Psal 31.1 Psalm 119.43.142 Eph. 1.13 Joh 17.17 Tit. 1.1 2. 2 Tim 2.13 1 Joh. 1.9 Rev. 22.6 Q Is there any thing else to be observed for the right understanding of these divine Attributes A. Yes That we may conceive aright of them these generall Conclusions are further to be observed 1. These divine properties are attributed to God Essentially God is Holy Just and Good without Qualitie great without Quantitie everlasting without Time Mercifull without Passion Gods Wisedome and Power Justice and Mercie are Himselfe God is a most pure and simple Essence and therefore whatsoever is in God is God himselfe Hence it is that God is stiled not only just but Justice it selfe not only mercifull but mercie it selfe not only the living god but life it selfe c. Ioh. 11.25 and 14.6 1 Joh. 4.8 and 5.20 2. The former properties which are stiled incommunicable may be attributed to the latter which are called communicable as the wisedome of God is absolutely perfect infinite eternall and immutable so is his holinesse so is his Justice c. Psal 147.5 3. Seing these Attributes of God are his Essence and seeing they are absolutely perfect and infinite therefore it necessarily followes that all those divine properties are equall in God though they appeare not alwaies equally to us Psal 145.9 DOCT. II. A larger exposition of the Doctrine of the Blessed Trinitie Q. SEeing the Doctrine of the blessed Trinitie is a deep and incomprehensible Mysterie is this Doctrine necessarie to be known and believed of all Christians A. Yes we professe to believe in God the Father the Sonne and the Holy Ghost and therefore every Christian ought to believe the only true God to be One most pure essence subsisting in three distinct Persons Q What is a Person in the blessed Trinitie A It is a distinct Substance having the whole divine Essence in it The most pure divine Essence considered as it subsists with his relative and incommunicable propertie is called a Person Q. How may this Mysterie of a Trinitie of Persons subsisting in the unitie of the Godhead be proved A. Not by humane reason but by divine Authoritie The Scripture in divers places maketh expresse mention of three Persons in the Deitie as 1 Ioh. 5.7 There are three that beare record in heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost Mat. 28.19 Goe and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost When Christ was baptized of John in Jordan the Father spake from heaven and testified of his Sonne who had then taken upon him the forme of a Servant and the Holy Ghost appeared in the likenesse of a Dove This is faithfully recorded in the foure Evangelists See Mat. 3.16 17. Mar. 1.10 11. Luk 3.22 Ioh 1.33 34. By these and the like testimonies it is evident that there is a Trinitie of Persons in the Deitie Reade Joh. 14.26 2 Cor. 13 14. Gal. 4.6 Eph. 2.18 Q. What are the proper names of these three Persons or Subsistencies A. Their proper names are expressed in those places of Scripture that have been cited The first person is called the Father The second Person is called the Sonne and the Word The third Person is called the Holy Ghost or Spirit Q. Why is the first Person called the Father A. Because he hath the Relation and respect of a Father to the second Person Q. Why is the second Person called the Sonne A. Because he hath the proper Relation of a Sonne to the first Person Q. Why is the Sonne and second Person called the Word A. First because as speech is conceived and begotten of the Mind without any passion in like manner the Sonne is begotten of God the Father Secondly because he is so often spoken of and promised in the Scriptures and is in a manner the whole subject of the Scripture Thirdly because he bringeth glad tidings from the bosome of the Father As man doth make known his will to man by his Word so God hath made known and revealed his will to us by his Sonne Joh. 1.18 Q Why is the third Person called the Spirit A. Although the Father be a Spirit and the Sonne be a Spirit as well as the third Person yet this title Spirit is peculiarly attributed to the third person because he is as it were spired or breathed both from the Father and the Sonne that is to say He proceedeth from them both Q. Why is the title of holy peculiarly attributed to the third Person A. Although the Father and the Sonne be equally holy with the third Person yet the title of Holy is peculiarly attributed to the Spirit because it is his office to sanctifie the children of God and to make them holy which he doth in a speciall and peculiar manner The Father and the Sonne sanctifie immediatly by the Spirit but the Spirit sanctifieth from the Father and from the Sonne by himselfe immediatly and therefore he is called the Holy Ghost Tit. 3.5 2 Thess 2.13 1 Pet. 1.2 Q. What is the Father A. The Father is the first Person in the Trinitie who by a divine generation hath eternally begotten his beloved Sonne of himselfe Mat. 28.19 Prov. 8.22.25 Joh. 1.1 Mat 3.17 Heb. 7.3 Q. What is the Sonne A. The Sonne is the second person begotten of the Father from all eternitie Mat. 28.19 Heb. 1.6 Joh. 1.14.18 Q. What is the holy Ghost A. The holy Ghost is the third person proceeding from the Father and the Son Mat. 28.19 1 Joh. 5.7 Joh. 14.26 15.26 Rom. 8.11 Gal. 4.6 Q. How are we to conceive of the Vnitie of these three persons A. They are one in Being and Essence the Essence of the Father is the Essence of the Son and the Essence of the holy Ghost Although we may say Personally the Father is one Subsistence the Sonne is another Subsistence and the holy Ghost another Subsistence yet we cannot say Essentially The Father is one God the Sonne is another God and the holy Ghost another God for they are Coessentiall that is they have the same essence together Although the entire Godhead the whole divine Essence be in each Person yet the three persons are most singularly one and the same God Joh. 10.30 38. Joh. 14.9 10 11. Joh. 1.12 Joh 5.32 37. Heb. 1.3 Joh. 14.16 1 Cor 12.4 5 6. Deut 6.4 Mar 12.32 1

65.2 Isai 42.8 48.11 Phil 4.6 Q. Why are we to pray to God alone A. 1. Because God only knoweth the hearts of all the children of men 1 Kings 8.30 3 Chron 6.30 Psal 44.21 Jer 17.10 Act 1.24 2. Because God onely is every where present and therefore able to heare the Prayers of all persons in all places Jer 23.23 24. Ps 139.7 12. 3. Because God onely is Almighty and therefore able to give us whatsoever we aske And as he is Almighty so he is most mercifull and therefore most ready to grant our requests Job 42.2 Jer 32.17 Gen 18.14 Luk 1.37 Isai 63.16 4. Because we cannot call upon any religiously in whom we may not believe Rom 10.14 Now we are to believe only in God Whosoever doth place his faith and confidence in any Creature is accursed Jer 17.5 5. Because no part of divine worship is to be communicated to any creature But Prayer is such a principall part of divine worship that it is often put for the whole Service of God Matt 4.10 Isai 42.8 Jer 10.25 Joel 2.32 Act 9.14 6. Because Christ hath taught us to direct all our Prayers to our heavenly Father Now there is none which is our Father in heaven but God alone Matt 6.9 Q. In whose name are we to pray A. In the Name of Christ alone Prayer is a calling upon God the Father in the Name of the Son through the assistance of the Holy Ghost Joh 16.23 26. Heb 4.14 16. Zech 12.10 Rom 8.26 Eph 6.18 Jude v. 20. Q. Why are wee to pray in the name of Christ alone A. 1 Because as there is but one God so there is but one Mediator between God and men the man Christ Iesus 1 Tim. 2.5 Christ is the onely Mediator as of Redemption so also of Intercession Act. 4.12 Rev. 8.3.4 2. Because we are taught to direct all our Prayers to our heavenly Father Now God is our Father in Christ alone and therefore to come to God in any other name is abominable Q. May we direct our prayers to the Sonne or to the holy Ghost by Name A. Yes prayer may be directed to the a Father or to b Christ his Sonne or to the c holy Spirit But when we direct our Prayer particularly to one person of the three this must be done with due care of worshipping all in one We must pray to all though we name but one when we mention but one with our mouths in our minds and hearts we must conjoyne all the three persons as those which cannot be severed in will in counsell or in outward actions because they are one in nature and Essence a Mat. 26.39 Ephes 3. vers 14 16. b Act 7.59 and chap. 9. vers 10.14 1 Cor. 1. vers 2. c Mat. 28.19 2 Cor. 13.14 Q. In what manner are we to pray A. We must not come rashly but with prepared hearts to the performance of this heavenly dutie And our hearts being prepared Psal 57.7.108 1. Eccles 5.1 2. We must pray 1. With heedfull attention keeping our hearts from vaine and wandring cogitations Prov. 4.23 2.

With reverence towards the glorious Majestie of that God to whom we speak in prayer Psal 95.3 6. Eccles 5.2 Luk 22.41 Mat. 26.39 Eph. 3.14 4. With Faith that is with perswasion that our persons are accepted of God in Christ and that our Prayers shall be heard Heb 10.22 Jam. 5.15 1 Joh. 5.14 5. With a sincere purpose to forsake those sinnes which we confesse unto the Lord and pray against Psal 66.18 Prov. 15.8 Isai 1. ●● 2 Tim. 2.22 and 1 Joh. 3.22 6. With Charitie in our hearts We must lift up holy hands without wrath and without doubting 1 Tim. 2.8 Mat. 5.23 24. Mar. 11.25 7. With perseverance without fainting patiently expecting a gratious answer from the Lord. Luk. 18.2 c. Psal 27.14 Gen. 32.24 Hos 12.4 Ephes 6.18 Col. 4.2 Q For what persons are we to pray A.

None but those who have committed the unpardonable finne against the holy Ghost and are apparently rejected of God Se 1 Joh. 15.16 1 Sam. 16.1 Q. But although all men are to be commended to God in our Prayers yet are not some to be preferred before others A. Yes Prayer is one of the most principall effects of love and therefore those whom we may and ought to preferre before others in our Love we may and ought to preferre before others in our Prayers See Ioh. 17.9 Eph 6.18 2 Tim 1.16 19. 1 Sam 12.23 Q. What are the parts or severall kinds of Prayer A. Petition and Thanksgiving Now these two are to be joyned together in use and to these * Confession of sinnes is to be annexed that we may be the better prepared both to make Petition and to give thanks * Neh. 1.6 7 8 9. and 9.32 33 34 35.

With fervencie of spirit and an earnest desire to have our wants supplyed Psal 130.1 and 143.6 Lam. 2.19 Rom 8.26 and 15.30 Jam. 5.16 3. With speciall faith in those Promises which concerne our particular wants Mar. 11.24 Iam 1.6 and 5.15 1 Ioh. 5.14.15 Q. For what things may we make request unto God A. For such good things as the Lord hath promised our faith must rest upon the promise of God and therefore every petition must have respect to some promise Now as things are promised so they must be praid for things absolutely promised may be absolutely prayed for but where God hath put conditions and exceptions to his promise here our prayers must have respect not only to the blessing promised but also to the condition annexed and therefore things conditionally promised must be asked with this or the like exception if it seem good unto his Majesty 2 Sam. 7.27 28

Cor. 8.4 5 6. And from this Unitie of Essence necessarily followes the Cooperation of these three Persons as they have one and the same Essence so they worke one and the same thing inseparably Gen. 1.1 26. Joh. 1.3 Joh 5.17 19 21. Q. How may this truth be confirmed that these three Persons have one and the same divine Essence A. By these Arguments First because the divine Essence being most simple and infinite is not subject to multiplication or division the divine Essence cannot be multiplied with the Persons nor divided between them Secondly because the same divine Names are are given to each person As the a Father is God so the b Son is God and the c Holy Ghost is God As the d Father is Jehovah or Lord so the e Sonne is Jehova and the f Holy Ghost is Jehova a Joh 17.3 Heb. 1.1 2. b Isa 9.6 Joh. 1.1 Act 20.28 Rom 9.5 c Act 5.34 1 Cor. 3.16 d Psal Psal 110.1 Gen. 19.24 e Jer. 23.6 Isa 25.9 Zech 2.10 11. f Act. 28.25 compared with Isa 6.3 5 9. Thirdly because the same essentiall Attributes and properties are given to each person As the Father is eternall So the a Sonne is eternall and the b Holy Ghost eternall As the Father is omnipotent so the c Sonne is omnipotent and the d Holy Ghost omnipotent c. a Joh. 1.1 and 17.5 Mic. 5.2 Rev. 1.17 b Gen 1.2 Heb. 9.14 c Joh 3.31 Phil. 3.21 Rev. 1.8 d 1 Cor 12.8 9 10 11. Luk. 11.20 Mat. 12.28 Q. How are we to conceive of the Distinction of these three Persons A. Although these three Persons have one and the same Essence yet they differ really one from another so that one is not one cannot be the other The Father is God the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God but the Father is not the Sonne neither is the Holy Ghost either Father or Sonne Q. Tell me more particularly wherein doe these three Persons differ A. They differ not in degree or dignitie as they are coessentiall so they are coequall But these three persons are distinct Joh 5.17 18. Phil. 2.6 Col. 2.9 1. In Order and manner of subsisting 2. In their Relative properties 3. In manner of working Q. Seeing these three Persons differ not in dignitie why is one set before another A. Although these three persons be equall yet one is in order before another according to their manner of subsisting As the Father before the Sonne and both of them before the Holy Ghost Math. chap. 28. vers 19. 1 Joh. 5. vers 7. The Father is the Person without beginning and therefore the first in order The Sonne is of the Father alone and therefore the second Person in order The holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Sonne and therefore the third Person in order Q. Seeing these three Persons are distinguished by their Relative Properties tell me therefore what kind of Properties are these A. They are individuall and incommunicable Q. What may be observed from hence A. That these three subsistencies the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost are not improperly called Persons because they are distinguished one from another by incommunicable individuall and personall properties Q. What is the Fathers relative and personall propertie A. To be unbegotten and to beget Psal 2.7 Heb. 1.5 Q. What is the Sonnes personall Propertie A. To be begotten Joh. 1.14.18 and 3.16 1 Joh. 4.9 Q. What is the Holy Ghosts Personall propertie A. To proceed Joh. 15.16 Q. Seeing these three Persons although they worke one and the same thing yet not after the same manner tell me therefore how are we to conceive of this third difference A. Each Person worketh according to the manner of his subsisting As Cooperation flowes from the Unitie of these three persons in Essence so this distinct manner of working flowes from the distinct manner of their subsisting Q. What is the Fathers manner of working A. As the Father is first in subsisting so he is first in working The Father worketh of himself by the Son and the Holy Ghost and therefore the Originall and beginning of all things is given to the Father Q. What is the Sonnes manner of working A. As the Sonne is from the Father so he worketh from the Father by the Holy Ghost and therefore the dispensation of all things is given to the Sonne Joh. 5.19 Joh. 16.15 Q. What is the Spirits manner of working A. As the Spirit is both from the Father and the Sonne so he worketh from them both And because he worketh from the Father and the Sonne therefore the Consummation and finishing of all things is given to the Holy Ghost Joh 16.13 14 15. DOCT. III. Of the Creation of the World Q. WHat workes are attributed to God the Father A. Creation and Providence We professe to believe in God the Father maker of Heaven and earth a faithfull Creator in which words we acknowledge God the Father to have created the world once and to preserve and govern it alwaies 1 Pet. 4.19 Q. Was Creation the first worke of God A. Creation was the first outward worke of God but not simply the first Action of God For Gods Decree is the Foundation of all his outward workes God worketh according to his wise Counsell and eternall Decree Whatsoever God hath done in time he purposed and decreed to doe before all time Ephes 1. vers 11. Q. What is Gods Purpose or decree A. It is an eternall action of Gods will whereby he hath freely and immutably determined of all things that ever have been or shall be Ephes 1.11 Act 2.23 and 4.28 Isai 14.24 Act. 17.3 And this eternall decree God executeth in the Creation and Government of all things Q What is Creation A Creation is the first part of the execution of Gods decree whereby he made the world of nothing Gen 1.1 Heb 11.3 Rom 4. vers 17. Q. Why is Creation especially ascribed to God the Father A. Because the Fathers manner of working to whom the Originall of all things is given doth here principally appeare for all things had their originall and beginning here before God begunne this worke there was not any thing but God the Creator Now when creation is attributed to the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost are not excluded for Creation being an outward action is common to the three persons the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost did worke together in the Creation of the world See Gen. 1.1 2 26. Joh. 1.3 Col. 1.16 Job 33.4 Q. By what meanes with what Instruments did God make the world A. God used no other instrument but his powerfull word God made all things by his word that is by his inward will and effectuall command Gen. 1.3 6 9. Psal 33.6 9. Psal 148.5 Q What was the generall condition and disposition of all things that were made A. Every thing that God made was good in his kind and the whole worke was excellent and beautifull Gen. 1.31 Q

Q. Whence cometh this Originall sinne what is the Efficient cause of it A. The transgression and disobedience of Adam By one man sinne entred into the world Rom. 5.12 19. All men were in Adams loynes when he sinned and therefore all men being equally guilty of Adams Transgression are equally infected with Originall sinne from the womb Psal 51 5. 58.3 Q. What are the fruits that Originall sinne bringeth forth A. All actuall sinnes Evill thoughts in the mind inordinate affections in the heart corrupt speeches and wicked deeds are as streams that flow continually from this impure Fountaine this sink and puddle of Originall Concupiscence Gen 6.5 Mar 7.21 22. Jam. 1.14 15. Rom. 7.13 Q. What is the Punishment that every sinne deserveth A.

Spirituall bondage under Sathan All men by nature are slaves of Sathan to whom they have voluntarily enthralled themselves Satan raigneth in the hearts of naturall men and they willingly acknowledge him to be their Prince by doing his will living under his lawes and delighting in his workes of darkness Joh. 8.34.44 Rom. 6.20 2 Cor. 4.4 Joh. 12.31 Eph. 2.2 2 Tim. 2.26 Heb. 2.15 1 Joh. 5.19 2.

Doth every sinne deserve eternall death A. Yes every sin being committed against an infinite God deserveth eternall punishment Q. When shall sinners be cast into Hell A. The soules of the wicked when they goe out of their bodies are sent immediately to Hell where they are kept imprisoned untill the day of Judgement then these bodies shall be joyned to their soules both together shall be cast into hell fire as they sinned together on earth so they shall suffer together in hell everlastingly Lu. 16.22 23. Mat. 10.28 Mat. 25.46 The Third PRINCIPLE Q. WHat meanes is left for thee to escape this damnable estate A.

What is the summe of this Principle A. This Principle containeth the comfortable Doctrine of perfect Salvation by Christ which is the summe of the Gospell Q. What are the parts of this principle A. They are principally two First the Author of Salvation the person of the Redeemer is here described Secondly the great worke of Redemption is expounded Q. Who is the Redeemer A. Jesus Christ Q. Why is the Redeemer called Jesus A. Jesus is the proper name of the Redeemer and it signifieth a Saviour The Redeemer was called Jesus because he was to save his people from their sinnes Mat. 1.21 Q. Why is the Redeemer called Christ A. As Jesus is the proper name of the Redeemer so Christ is the name of his office and it signisieth one annointed The Redeemer was called Christ or Messias because he was ananointed of God that he might be a fit a Prophet and b Priest and c King to his Israel Joh. 4.25 a Luk. 4.18 and 24.19 Mat. 17.5 and 21.11 b Psal 110.4 Heb. 5.5 6. c Psal 45.6 7.

Heb. 3.1 Q. Wherein consisteth the Pristhood of Christ A. It consisteth chiefly in offering himselfe a propitiatory sacrifice to his Father to the end he might fully satisfie the Justice of God for our sinnes and so might reconcile us unto his Father Ephes 5.2 Rom. 3.25 1 Joh. 2.2 4.10 Mat. 20.28 Isa 53.10 Heb. 9. vers 26. To this satisfaction which Christ made to the Justice of God while he was upon earth we may add the perpetuall intercession which he maketh for us now in Heaven And so the parts of his Priesthood are two Expiation and Intercession Rom. 8 34.
