another Text we are bid to honour all men 1 Pet. 2.17 and love the Brotherhood that is the intire Fellowship and Fraternity of Christians Nor hath the Scripture only secured Reverence to Authority in a Publick Station and regulated our general converse but it hath likewise stated the welfare of private Societies by teaching the reciprocal Duties of each Member thereof and their respective Obligations Husbands love your Wives and be Col. 3.19 not bitter against them Wives submit your selves unto your own Husbands as unto the Lord for the Husband is the Head of the Wife Ephes. 5.2 as Christ is Head of the Church And for Oeconomical Provision and Care I Tim. 5.8 Whosoever doth not provide for his own especially for them of his own houshold is in the Apostle's judgment worse than an Infidel Lastly we have the mutual Offices of Children and Parents Masters and Servants specified and determined in the New Testament as well as in the Old Ephes. 6.4 That Fathers should not provoke their Children but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Ephes. 6.1 That Children should obey their Parents in all things as well-pleasing unto God As also That themselves should not be provoked to anger left they be discouraged and out of heart and rendred thereby apt to go astray from their Duty So in like manner Servants are enjoined to obey in all things their Masters according to the flesh not with eye-service as men-pleasers but in singleness of heart Eph. 6.5 6. fearing God to be subject with all fear not only to the good and gentle but the froward and Masters are commanded to give their Servants what is just and equal as knowing they have also a Master in heaven Eph. 6.9 who is no Accepter of persons Here we see a Summary and compendious deduction of the several Branches of Duty arising from this just and holy Precept It remains therefore that we apply it to our selves that we should ponder it in our minds and examine and sift our consciences how far we have swerved from the Rule how far we have crookedly and perversly carried our selves towards our Neighbour in every respect and circumstance how indirectly and obliquely we have dealt with other men yet on the contrary with great fondness and doating partiality to our selves For if all Commandments referring to Intercourse and our Dealings with one another as Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not commit Adultery Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not bear false witness Thou shalt not covet be contained in this one Article of loving our Neighbour as our selves as our Blessed Saviour tells us Rom. 13.9 and S. Paul Also affirms and makes a particular recital thereof if those Commandments are virtually comprized and summ'd up in this Precept of our Saviour That we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us which is indeed undefiled and unspotted Religion as including all the Duties of Society without reserve or distinction of partiality and prejudice then let us bethink our selves and consider how faulty and unequal we have been in the Weights and Measures of our Justice and Charity to our selves and others Do we not for the most part use a double Balance weighing our own Interests and Concernments in the one and those of our Neighbour in another standing strictly upon the Equity of this Rule to our selves but having little or no regard to it when others challenge the like from us This is certainly very great partiality and injustice Since then we have so clear and certain a Rule which is always ready at hand because every man carrieth it in his own breast it is a matter certainly of wonder and astonishment that any one who calls himself a Christian should not be extremely ashamed not only to break and daily transgress this righteous rule of Justice and Equity but even to fly out into those enormous Crimes of Murder and Oppression of Subornation and Perjury which an honest and sober Heathen would be ashamed and blush at We have therefore great and mighty reason to magnifie and extol the Providence of God who hath ordained and constituted Magistrates as his and the King's Ministers of Justice to execute wrath upon all those who do evil Rom 13.4 without which the World would soon become a Wilderness or a mere Shambles of Cruelty and Oppression and Mankind only a barbarous Herd of Prey the greater and mightier still devouring the lesser and weaker and every one inhumanely striving to crush his Neighbour I beseech therefore Almighty God to prosper your undertakings that Justice in an even Balance may be equally administred that the innocent may be protected and relieved whilst the wicked man is caught in the Snare which he laid for the intrapping of others And I pray God we may all remember the great Account we must one day make at the one great general Assize when an Arch-Angel shall found a Trumpet before the Judge of the whole Earth Eccles. 12.14 and every man shall be recompenced according to his deeds whether they be good or whether they be evil For which Great Day God of his Infinite Mercy grant we may all prepare our selves for the sake of his only beloved Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit be given all Honour Praise and Dominion now and for evermore Amen FINIS The WORKS of the Reverend and Learned ' Doctor Hammond in Four Volumes viz.
