worshipped prayed vnto A. It is euident in that Christ did so teach the Apostles did both so preach and practise Againe a good Christian is stiled or sayd to be A worshipper of God or one that calleth on the name of the Lord. And such are called the true worshippers Q. Prooue that Christ did so teach A. That our Sauiour Christ did so teach and maintayne may appeare euidently both by his combate with Satan Mat. 4.10 where he proueth by the Scriptures that religious worship and seruice is to bee done vnto God onely And Matth. 6.9 teaching his Disciples and in them vs to pray hee sayth After this maner therefore pray ye Our father which art in heauen c. Q. Prooue the Apostles did both so teach and practise A. That the Apostles did so teach see Phil. 4.6 Be nothing ca●efull but in all things let your requ●sts bee shewed vnto God in prayer and supplication with giui●g of thankes And that they did so practise and that all the ●aithfull did the like accordin● to their doctrine and example is manifest by all the formes of prayer recorded in the New Testament and specially by that of the Apostle Eph. 3.14 I bow my k●e●s vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ c. Q. Proue that a good Christian is stiled a worshipper of God A. It is euident in that speech of the blinde man cured by Christ Io. 9.31 Ye know sayth hee that God heareth not sinners but if any man be a worshipper of God and doth his will him heareth he Where wee see hee calleth a good Christian or godly man a worshipper of God And 2. Tim. 2.19 In stead of saying let euery Christian S. Paul sayth Let euery one that calleth on the name of Christ depart from iniquity Q Proue that such as worship God onely are the true worshippers A. That such as worship call vpon God onely are the true worshippers may be gathered by the words of Christ to the woman of Samaria Io. 4.22.23 Ye worship sayth hee ye know not what we know what wee worship c. But the houre commeth and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in trueth for the father seeketh such to worship him Q. How proue you that to worship or pray vnto any other is to giue Gods glory to a creature A. Because the prayse of hearing all prayer of all creatures belongeth to God see Psal. 65.1.2 Prayse wayteth for thee O God in Sion and vnto thee shall the vow be performed O thou that hearest prayer vnto thee shall all flesh come And Isa. 42.8 I am the Lord that is my name and my glory will I not giue to another neyther my prayse to grauen Images I Of man in his first creation Q. Rehearse the letter I A. IN the beginning God made Man consisting of soule and body the body of the dust in it selfe mortall yet possibly immortall if man had not sinned the soule of spirituall substance immortall in its selfe in both a most excellent creature aboue all others except the Angels For hee was created in the image or likenesse of God and had dominion and rule ouer all other creatures in the world Q. What is to bee vnderstood by the word Man A. By the word Man is meant both sexes man and woman as we may see Gen. 1.27 5.2 where God being sayd to make man it is added immediatly male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam or Man in the day when they were created Q. Why did God at the beginning make one man and one woman A. God made one man and one woman not only for propagation as it is Gen. 1.28 Be fruitfull and multiply and replenith the earth but also that by making onely one man and one woman hee might establish holy mariage and lawfull procreation of children Which our Sauiour proueth Matth. 19.4.5 Haue you not read sayth he that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female And thence concludeth that two shall be one flesh The like is in Mal. 2.15 And did not hee make one yet had hee abundance of spirit and wherefore one because he sought a godly seed Q. Proue that man doth consist of soule and body A. That man doth consist of these two parts soule and body is euident in the story of the creation Gen. 2.7 as also by many instances else where in the word of God as for example Matth. 10.28 Feare not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soule but rather feare him which is able to destroy both soule and body in hell 1 Cor. 6.20 Glorifie God in your body and in your spirit which are Gods And 1. Thes. 5.23 I pray God your whole spirit and soule and body bee preserued blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ. Q. Proue that God made the body of the dust A. It is written Gen. 2.7 That the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and 3.9 Dust thou art and vnto dust thou shalt returne This made Abraham confesse with great humility Gen. 18.27 I am but dust and ashes And it is alleaged by Dauid as an argument of Gods pity Psal. 103.13.14 Like as a father pitieth his children to the Lord pitieth them that feare him For hee knoweth our frame hee remembreth that we are dust Q. What is the difference betweene the creation of man and woman A. The difference is this First the man was made before the woman to note his authority her subiection as Saint Paul reasoneth 1 Tim. 2.13 For saith he Adam was first formed then Eue. As also to shew the neere affinity betweene man and man seeing as it is Acts 17.26 God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth Q. What is the second difference A. Secondly man was made of the dust primarily the woman secondarily in that she was taken out of him who was made of the dust for she was made of the rib of Adam Gen. 2 22. Not of the head nor of the foot to shew that God would neither haue her a ruler nor a seruant to her husband but a companion as shee is called Mal. 2.14 Againe it was a type of the Church the life and saluation whereof issued by water and blood out of the side of Christ as the woman receyued her being out of the side of the man Q. Proue that the body of man was made possibly immortall A. The body of man was in its selfe mortall yet by the appointment of God were it not for sinne had beene possibly immortall For God gaue vnto man possibility not to sinne and so consequently not to die as may be gathered by his generall threatning Genes 2.17 The day thou eatest thereof that is of

is written Isa. 51.15 I am the Lord thy God that diuided the sea whose waues roared And Psal. 107.23.24 They that goe downe to the sea in ships see the workes of the Lord and his wonders in the deepe 25. For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind which lifteth vp the waue● thereof And againe ver 29. Hee maketh the storme a calme so that the waues thereof are still Q. Shew some instances of Gods prouidence in ordering things vpon the earth A. First all things both good and euill are ordered by Gods prouidence see Isa. 45.7 I forme the light and create darknesse I make peace and create euill I the Lord doe all these things Iob. 5.18 Hee maketh the wound and bindeth it vp hee smiteth and his hands make whole And 1 Sam. 2.6 The Lord killeth and maketh aliue he bringeth down to the graue and raiseth vp Q. Giue a second instance of Gods prouidence in things vpon the earth A. Secondly it is said Dan. 2.21 That he changeth the times and seasons hee remoueth Kings and setteth vp Kings And Psal. 75.7 God is the Iudge he putteth downe one and setteth vp another Q. Giue a third instance of this prouidence A. Thirdly it is said Pro. 16.1 The preparations of the heart in man and the answere of the tongue is from the Lord. And ver 9. A mans heart deuiseth his way but the Lord directeth his steps And Prou. 21.1 The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord as the riuers of waters he turneth it whithersoeuer he will Q. Giue a fourth instance of this prouidence A. Fourthly the prouidence of God doth so order all things that there is nothing so casuall to vs but it is infallibly certaine in the decree of God See Pro. 16.33 The lot is cast into the lap but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Q. Proue that all things are preserued by the prouidence of God A.

Q. Proue that wicked men cannot doe what they list A. It is manifest in that Christ said to Pilate Ioh. 19.11 Thou couldest haue no power at all against me except it were giuen thee from aboue And Act. 4.27 It is said That Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and the people of Israel were gathered together to doe whatsoeuer the hand and counsell of God determined before to bee done Q.

Rehearse the letter H A.

Proue that we must worship and pray to God with vnderstanding A. So saith the Apostle in the name of euery good Christian 1 Cor. 14.15 I will pray with the spirit and will pray with vnderstanding also I will sing with the spirit and will si●g with vnderstanding also And our Sauiour sheweth the reason why we ought so to doe Ioh. 4.24 because God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit aud in truth Q.
