B02151	The Christian's daily practice of piety: or, Holy walking with God. As also, Scripture rules to be observed in buying and selling. Very useful for all sort of people that desires to make conscience of their ways here, and to fit themselves for their great account hereafter.	R. A. (Richard Alleine), 1611-1681.	1698 (1698)	Wing C3954A; ESTC R173846	11,097	27

also will I punish all those young men that leap i● the Threshold which fill their Masters Ho● with violence and deceit And so in 1 Thes 4. ● Let no Men sayes the Apostle go beyond or fraud his Brother in any matter for the Lord is avenger of all such and so in 2 Pet. 2 3. A● through covetousness shall they with feigned w● make Merchandize of you whose judgement ling● not When Men shall work upon the Ignor● of the Buyer and so advance the price of Commodity this is a great sin 6 Do not imbase a Commodity from its primitive price and goodness and yet sell it at the full price as if it were Good thereby to get the more by it This the Scripture condemns in Amos 8.6 They sell the refuse of the Wheat The Corn mongers in those times they would pluck out the best of their Wheat and yet sell the worst at the full price of the best now this the Lord condemns and so in Isa 1.21 They mingle wine with water and dross with silver The Scripture condemns this to imbase a Commodity from its primitive goodness and yet to sell it at the full value of the best 7. Be not among the first that shall raise the price of a Commoditie This I hinted to you before in Prov. 11.26 He that withholdeth Corn the p●ople shall curse him but blessing shall he upon the head of him that seileth it 8. Be not so eager in selling of your Commodities that you cannot content your selves to sell on the six days of the Week but you must sell on the Sabbath-day likewise Be not like those in Amos 8.5 saying When will the new Moo● be over that we may sell Corn and the Sabbath be over that we may set forth Wheat And so in Neh. 13.15 In th●se days saith the Prophet I saw ●n Judah so●e●●● a●●ng in W ne presses on the S●bba h and br ngin● ln S●caves and la●in● ass s and all ma ner of Bu●●hens which they b o ●h● into Jerusalem on the Sabbath and I testified ●gainst ●●em in the day wherein they sold Victual N●w this is against your common sel●●g H●●s●s and S ops of ●ean Trades that sell by retail that makes nothing of selling small trefling things on the Sabbath day but this is a great sin 9. When you are found out to be deceitful in your dealing do not justifie your deceit many men if you come to them and tell them tha● they sell dearer than their Neighbours they wil● tell you that they do not or if you tell then that the Commodity is not good which you bough● of them they will say it is as good as they ca● afford for the price and the like this is co●demned in Ephraim in Hos 12.7 Ephraim a Merchant the ballance of deceit are in h● hand he loves to oppress and yet he saith I 〈◊〉 become Rich and I have found me out substan● and in all my labours they shall find no iniqui● in me that is sin you should not justifie yo● deceit 10. Do not sell those things that are not sal● able As first do not sell spiritual things for th● are not saleable as in Acts 8.20 Simon M●gus when he would have bought the gift of 〈◊〉 Holy Ghost with Money saith Peter to him T● monie perish with thee because thou thoughtest 〈◊〉 the Gift of God might be purchased with Money ●condly do not sell Monuments of Idolatry Crosses and Beads and Images and Crucifix and Conjuring-books and the like they are fit to be sold as in Acts 19.19 Many also of 〈◊〉 that used curious Arts brought their Books t●ther and burnt them before all Men and ●counted the price of them and they found i● be 50000 pieces of Silver This is spoken 〈◊〉 of Conjuring Books and notwithstanding were of so great a value they would not sell whem but burn them Thirdly Do not sell thy self as Ahab did to work wickedness for you are not your own but Gods and therefore you must glorifie God in your Bodies and in your Sou●s which are God's Fourthly you must not sell stoln Goods Fifthly You must not sell those things that are for no other use but for to commit sin in the using of them As for to sell stuff to paint Harlot's Faces is a sin because it is for no other use but to commit Sin in the using of it FINIS A Morning Prayer to be used in Families WE praise thee O God for thy many precious benefits bestowed on us for th● Creation of the World and for the Redemptio● of Mankind by the Lord Jesus thou didst safe●● take us from the womb and haste ever since car●● for us thou hast of thy sweet mercy caused us 〈◊〉 be born within thy Church where we have be●● early given to thee in Baptism Thou hast affor●ed us the means of Grace and called us to 〈◊〉 hope of Glory But O most merciful Father we poor a●● miserable sinners conceived in sin and brou●● forth into iniquity have gone astray from the● we have not cared to know thee and to do 〈◊〉 will but have done our own wills and follow our foolish and sinful inclinations and do therfore deserve thy wrath and curs● O Lord have mercy upon us turn us 〈◊〉 thee and grant us true Repentance and forgiveness of all our sins for Jesus sake let it henceforth be our chiefest care to please thee and s● thy Kingdom and Righteousness work in us a 〈◊〉 Faith and a lively Hope and a frequent Ch●●●ty make us Humble M●ek Patient Sober Just Kind and Loving to all Men Submiss●●● and Obedient to them that are over us and well Content and Thankfull in every condition of Life Grant that we may daily grow in Knowledge Loving Fearing and Obeying thee Creat in us clean Hearts O God and renew right Spirits within us O Lord send thy Gospel through the World pour out plentifully the Spirit of Truth Hollnes● and Peace on all thy People Bless this Church and Kingdom preserve our King and Queen and all the Royal Family Guide our Judges and Magistrats sanctifie and assist the Ministers of the Gospel Visite all that are in Trouble and sanctifie their affliction unto them be gracious to all our Kindred Friends and Neighbours bless and forgive all our Enemies We thank thee O Lord for thy care of us this night watch over us this day and Make us mindful that we are always in thy fight that we may be in thy fear all the day long bless us also O God in all our lawful imployments and establish thy work in our hands and grant that through the whole course of our Life we may be Holy and Harmless in all manner of Life and Conversation than when this short and frail Life is at an End we may be partakers of everlasting life through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord in whose Name and Words we pray Our Father c.
