The first thing which any man disposing himself The Contents of this Treatise for the kingdome of God will and ought to enquire after is What hee should doe to be ridde of those many sins he hath been and is guilty of rid I say from the guilt danger of them and from the power and dominion of them For the satisfaction of thy Conscience in this most needefull question I haue in this first Treatise gathered for thee out of the whole Bible a Catalogue of those sinnes which in our repentance God wil haue with speciall notice to be confessed and auoided and these sinnes I haue set downe as neere as I could in the expresse words of the Text that thou mightest see the Lord himself describing thy offences and so mightest haue no excuse or doubt to imagine that it was but the iudgement of some men that made such things to be thought to be sinnes By this course of surueying the whole Scriptures I haue both found out diuers particular offences plainly prooued to be so which I could not obserue to be mentioned in any exposition of the commandements which I had and also diuers things proued cleerely to be sinnes which were onely barely affirmed to be so in other writers I haue likewise plainly shewed thee by expresse Scriptures what course thou maist distinctly take to bee ridde of thy sins a course that cannot faile thee being grounded on the most euident directions which God himselfe hath prescribed vnto thee if thy owne slothfulnesse and procrastination or wilfull peruersenesse hinder thee not and I doubt not but by experience thou wilt confesse the course is comfortable and easie considering the great benefit and rest thou maist bring to thy Conscience thereby 2. The second thing a The Contents of the secōd booke man would desire to be satisfied in that hath beene entred into the practice of Repentance is How he might come to bee infallibly assured concerning Gods fauour and his owne saluation and for answere hereunto I haue in the second Treatise gathered out of the Scriptures signes of Gods owne making by which men may try their estate and these such as both describe wicked men not yet in Christ and such as describe godly men that shall certainely bee saued and withall I haue now added directions how by the help of those signes men may fettle their assurance and how such as yet want those signes may attaine them 3. The third thing euery The Contents of the third booke Christian ought to seek satisfaction in is this How a man that hath attain'd vnto the assurance of saluation when hee dyes may comfort and establish his hart against all the miseries and distresses which may and will befall him in this life before his death and to this end I haue gathered out of the whole Scriptures those admirable consolations which may be aboundantly sufficient to vphold him with much ioy in the worst estate can befall him and this is done in the Treatise which I call the Promises 4. The fourth question a The Contents of the fourth booke carefull Christiā that hath thus found out the gaine of godlinesse would aske is this What hee should do in the whole course of his life to glorifie God who hath thus loued him and giuen his Sonne to dye for him and purchased such a glorious Inheritance for him and for answere heereunto I haue likewise out of the Scripture garhered the rules of Life which will shew him distinctly how hee should carry himselfe both towards God and towards men in all parts of his life how he should behaue himselfe at home and abroad in company and out of company c. and all this shewed him by the expresse words of the Scriptures 5. In the fift place If a man aske himselfe what yet hee wants that is necessary for his state hee may and ought to bethink himselfe of this question What are these necessary trueths which God hath absolutely tied him to know and belieue without which hee cannot be saued and which are fundamentally needfull for him To this end I haue collected a fift Treatise the principles of which are an extract out of all the Doctrine of religion of such truths in euery part of religion as a man is bound of necessity to know and this I haue not onely proued by Scripture but shewed what vses hee may put such knowledge to all the daies of his life 6. The sixt last thing which ought to bee enquired after is how a man thus fitted to liue the life of God may also bee cured of the feare of death and to this end I haue published that Tretise of the Cure of the feare of Death which shewes plaine and comfortable wayes how any Christian may deliuer his heart from those feares I suppose that no man Whom these treatises concerne that readeth this will conceiue that any of these are needlesse And as I would aduise such Christians as abound with ability and leisure to furnish themselues
