but all through my whole life I am to keepe a perpetuall sabboth vnto the Lord from sinne loosing the bands of wickednesse and applying my selfe wholy to holinesse so more especially and strictly on this day wherein that I may obserue it according to the word I may not 1. Doe mine owne waies 2. Finde mine owne pleasures 3. Speake mine owne words Es 58.13 As he hath ordained that instituted the sabboth 2. The forbidding part We must take heede of prophaning the Sabbaoth The things forbidden in this precept are 1. The foreslowing of the asseÌ„bling of our selues in the congregation 2. The doing of our ordinary works 3. The doing of the workes of the flesh and of the diuell For 1. This day is an holy coÌ„uocation that we should humble our selues Num. 10.7 Melius est arare quam sal tare in sabbatho 2. Are there not sixe daies to labour 3. It is better to plough then to play on the sabbath Vse 1. Let such men therfore here aduise themselues that neuer take care to set their feete within the court of the Lords house to come into his presence nor to visit his holy temple how they will one day answer their negligence to this law giuer who hath giuen so strickt a charge with a memorandum that we should singularly reard and reuerence 1. The day of his worship to hallow it 2. The place of his worship to come vnto it 3. The parts of his worship to performe it That they froÌ„ henceforth faile not in these duties 2. Let such men here consider how vnthankfully how vniustly they deale with God who as hee is the Lord of flesh so also is the Lord of al daies that of seauen daies which the Lord hath made cannot be content with sixe that are giuen vnto them to bestow them on themselues but they must needes also incroach on that one which the Lord hath chosen and set apart for himselfe and like the vxorious Dauid in the plurality of his wiues not satisfied with his owne store taking vnto him by violence Vriahs owne little lambe 2. Sam. 12.2 the onely wife of his bosome so vse this as their owne which the Lord hath called his hauing therein 1. Their hearts ful of the cares of this life 2. Their mouthes of the talke of earthly matters 3. Their hands of the affaires and businesses of this world That henceforth they pollute not the Lords sabbath 3. Let such men here bethinke themselues of their prophanenesse whether it be not damnable who being inioyned all their life time to keepe a continuall sabbath or rest from sinne will not euen on this day breake off their sinne but as it were to despight the almighty by so much the more runne riot on this day by how much the Lord of the day hath the more diligently forbidden the prophaning of the day more eagerly on this day then at other times pursuing and seeking after 1. Wicked societies 2. Vaine delights and 3. Fleshly pleasures That heÌ„ceforth they make not this the Lords day a day of sin 3. The Appendix A reason drawne from the example of God 1. Who rested that day 2. Who blessed that day 3. Who sanctified that day For 1. He made no moe new kinde of creatures after the sixt 2. He hath appointed it a meanes of blessing to them that religiously keepe it 3. He hath set it apart to an holy and religious vse Vse 1. If examples be of greater force then exhortations and a thing be taught more fully in the worke then in the word Leo papae in ser de Ieinnio see then here to the precept put the patterne of his rest that commands the rest to which if we conforms our selues and actions we shall not doe amisse because 1. His place is most high 2. His example most perfect 3. His actions most renowmed And therefore worthy is hee of our chiefe respect 2. If hee that instituted this sabbath hath blessed this sabbath then will he vndoubtedly also blesse vs if we keepe this sabbath for ordering it aright vnto its ends and applying our selues to that which is required on that day we shal surely finde from the Lord thereon 1. A blessing on our hearing 2. A blessing on our power 3. A b esing on the breaking of the bread And therefore good it is that we make it our delight 3. If Peter Act. 11.9 might not call that common which the Lord had clensed how much lesse may we make that common which the Lord hath hallowed and set apart abusing it to labor idlenesse or prophanenesse when hee appointed it vnto these ends 1. That it might bee the solemne time of his worship 2. That it might shadow out vnto vs the euerlasting rest 3. That it might serue for a remission of labour to vs our seruants cattell c. And therefore it is requisite that we so obserue it The fifth Commandement Honour thy father and thy mother that thy daies may bee long in the Land which the Lord thy God giueth thee 1. The affirming part of this precept We must giue to our superiors all due respects The things required in this precept are 1. That we obey them in all things in the Lord. 2. That we deale faithfully thankfully with them 2. That wee shew our selues respectiue and kind vnto them For 1. This is right Eph. 6.1 and well pleasing vnto the Lord. Col 3.20 2. This is an honest thing and acceptable before God 1 Tim. 54. 3. This will be as refreshing vnto them from the face of the most high Now then Vse 1. As the inferior is here taught his duty to obey them that are set ouer him of the Lord in all things in the Lord so is the superior also shewed his which is that he command gouerne only in the Lord for although it be simply euill not to obey the precept yet it is not alwaies euill namely when the ruler commands those things which are contrary to God for then it is better to obey God then men and to say with Augustine giue leaue O Caesar giue leaue O Father Ruler and such like 1. Thou thrâ—atenest thine indignation displeasure God his wrath 2. Thou threatenest losse of goods and substance God of all good things 3. Thou threatenest band and prison God hell Whether is now more to bee feared say you God or man 2 As faithfulnesse and thankfulnesse is here required of children so are the Parents also minded of their care that in the education gouernement and prouision for those of their charge they doe that which is thank-worthy for although it be required of inferiors that they doe their duties no what the lesse though their Superiors be froward vnworthy yet if hee that is in place of excellency doe first neglect his duety and then hee that is vnder gouernement doe come likewise short of his 1. Not assisting him with his praiers 2. Not seruing him with his substance 3. Not ministring

To the Honorable Knight the most Iudicious and learned Sir FRANCES BACON the Kings Attorney Generall IT was my chance Right worthy Sir that you were preseÌ„t a hearer of my first made sermons At Kensington in Iuly 1607. and if I might take their words that told me you gaue good words of me then and conceiued good hopes of me for the time to come on this inducement I resolued to present you with my first publisht writings but I was abashed in my selfe and ready to fall off from my purpose remembring a passage in your first booke of The Aduancement of learning where you seeme neerer to reprehension then defence of those that dedicate their books writings not to their owne equals but to men of greater rancke And had I not considered with my selfe that where there were so many good parts of nature and learning there could not choose but be much humanity the greatnes of your place and your worth surmounting greater places then that you hold had deterd my meannesse and slendernesse from this attempt neither had I dared to haue offerd that vnto you which I haue now presumed This I know that for the Argument there can be an vnfitnesse in no booke to be presented vnto you a man so generally read and learned I am perswaded that he that is so industrious as your selfe and abounding with so many vertues will euen loue and cherish the least shew and resemblance of the same in others Well iacta est alea I am now come before you and if you shall vouchsafe mee but a kinde and cheerefull aspect it will much cheere me but if I might vnderstand that I haue written any thing that may be to your tast the approbation of your learned iudgement alone shall bee vnto me more then the applause of a large Theater Howsoeuer it shall be let me intreate and obtaine this of your goodnes in the name of learning though I be but the least and meanest in her common wealth that you would not vtterly dash and put me out of countenance whose very wit and courage will euen stand and fall with your countenance The man that highly loues and admires your vertues RICHARD BRVCH Reader IF thou shouldest aske mee why I would write of things so much intreated off why I would write in such a method I haue an answer at hand for both thy questioÌ„s though not one and the same for both there lay a kinde of necessity on mee to write of one part of this treatise The Lords Praier that drew on the rest to disauow a sonne of the people that was fatherd on me nothing like me nor my children who though they are most of them rough-hewed like their father yet haue they all their portion of wit and common sense For the nouelty of the method let this answer thee that knowing that by many parasanges I could not come neere nor attaine vnto the worthies of our Church as many as haue written of these things a Caluin an Vrsin a Viret and a Virell a Perkins or a Granatensis with others whose learned comments and bookes of institution are in hand I fell into this new forme of method that thou mightest know though nihil est iam dictum quod non sit dictuÌ„ prius al do sing but the very same song yet we can in this age set out our learning in new fashions of word and method as the men of the age can set theÌ„selues forth in new fashions of cloathes Thou hast the reason of these my numbers maiest thou vse them to thy profit comfort fare thou well Thine R. B. A preface or introduction to the Booke containing a reason of the Title I Feare me it may be iustly said of many a one that now a daies makes profession of religion as it is said to the Angell of the Church of Sardis Reuel 3.1 Thou hast a name that thou liuest and art dead For how great soeuer the shew be that they make to the world yet if they were examined of their faith it would be so farre that they should be bespoken with the Canaanitish woman Great is your faith Mat. 15.28 That we should rather bespeake them as our Sauiour his Disciples Mat. 16. O ye of little faith or O ye of no faith rather If their workes were well seene and considered we would not commend them for their fruites but speake to them in the words of the Baptist As trees that did not bring forth good fruit Mat. 3.10 yea if they would seriously consider with themselues of their key cold praiers how heauy leaden dull and dead they were in their deuotions they would euen testifie against themselues that they had little or no feeling at all in themselues that they had little or no life at all of grace in them Of their holy and sound faith of their godly conuersation of their deuout praiers are men rightly termed religious the outward shewes of words of lookes of gestures make men no more such then doth his weed the Frier He that hath true faith is religious The iust by his faith shall liue Abac. 2.4 Here then is life He that walkes in the way of the commandements in the way of good workes which God hath ordained that we should walke in them is religious These are the waies of life wherein if we keepe vs we shall be safe a ruine mortis from the ruine of death here is also life Aliue from the dead saith the Apostle Rom. 6.13 and dead indeed â—o sinne but aliue vnto God through Iesus Christ our Lord v. 11. If the spirit and life of God be in a man he shall quickely find it in his praiers he shall thereby quickely find if he haue any sparke of grace or religion if he be earnest and feruent in them if they be full of zeale It is a sure signe that a mans soule and heart are religious when hee can powre them out in praier before God There is the presenting of our bodies a liuing sacrifice holy and acceptable vnto God Rom. 1â— 1 And there is the presenting of our praiers also a liuing sacrifice for our soules are in them Here then also is life True faith an holy conuersation and pure deuotion doe constitute a man and absolue him for religious in each of these there is life in them altogether is the life of religion 1. The rule of things that are to be beleeued Regula credendorâ—â—n is the Creed in this short exposition â—â—y perchance be found some what that may informe a mans vnderstanding in the knovvledge of the mystery of godlines and to teach him also to make application of his knovvledge to himselfe This is for faith 2. The rule of a mans life are the Commandemens of vvhich vve may say in the vvords of the Prophet This is the way walke in it This small treatise vvill affoord a man some light in the way and giue him some entrance to the vnderstanding of the

Wee must not take the name of God in our mouthes Psal 50.16 if we hate to be reformed and haue cast his words behind vs. Vse 1. Come hither therefore all you wicked and men of impure lips you that are so farre from making conscience of idle wicked words that you make no conscience of foule and blasphemous oathes see here condemned your prophane and rash swearing your blasphemies your cursings and your periuries wherewith you haue grieued the excellency of Heauen and withall procured 1. Hurt to our owne soules 2. Hinderance of Gods glorie 3. Offence and griefe of hart to the Christian hearers And let this teach you to forsake this sin 2. Come hither you wilfull scorners prophane deriders and horrible abusers of Gods holines you that haue vsed the name of God his word and titles with no fit respect speaking of them contemptibly and without due regard as of vile and common things see here condemned your prophanenes and abhominable impiety who haue spoiled the Lord of his honour whereas his name and Scriptures by you 1. Haue beene iested at 2. Haue been wrested 3. Haue beene abused to inchantment And let this make you treÌ„ble at his word 3. Come hither you that draw neere vnto the Lord and honour him with your lips and in yoor harts and waies depart farre from him you that make profession of religion yet liue in all prophanenes 2. Sam. 12.14 Aug. in Ps 23. giuing thereby great occasion to the enemies of the Lord for to blaspheme see heâ—e condemned your halting and your double iniquity who calling your selues the seruants of the Lord yet liue like the sons of Belial and thereby are a câ—use of 1. Great griefe to the godly 2. Great scandall to weake 3. Great hardning to the wicked And let this cause you leaue your croaked waies 3. The Appendix A threatning from God that he will be reuenged of those that sacrilegiously rob him of his glory Which he will doe 1. Surely 2. Swiftly 3. Seuerely For 1. The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it 2. He will be a swift witnesse against all such impiety 3. He will not spare in the day of vengeance Vse 1. Albeit therefore the breakers of this precept may in this case despise the lawes and wrath of men who haue but sillily prouided against this transgression and doe very slowly punish it and are oft times very little or nothing offended when Gods name is abused and his holines prophaned or if they take it to heart it is not so much to them as if their owne credit were called in question yet when the Lion hath roared who will not feare Amos 3.8 when the Lord hath spoken and threatned sure vengeance who will not be terrifiâ—d from this sinne which hath in it neither 1. Pleasure nor 2. Profit nor 3. Shew of any good Which might induce men to incurre this wrath 2 Albeit in other sinnes wicked vngodly men grow bold on Gods sufferance and their heart is fully set in them to do euill because sentence against an euill worke is not executed speedilie Eccle. 8.11 yet let all men take heed of prouoking in this kinde for their iudgement sleepeth not that offend on this fashion and vengeance is against them on the way the zeale of the Lord wil hasten it and bring this thing to passe 1. That the mouth of all wickednes may be stopt 2. That others may feare because of the iudgement 3. That honour may be giuen vnto God Which should deter vs from this hainous sinne 3. Albeit as the law takes no notice of the least things so God takes not present vengeance of euery small sinne because he will not alwaies be chiding yet will he make his plagues wonderfull against this sinne for his curse shall come into the house of the offender to consume it Zach. 5. his curse shall ouertake the swearers and blasphemers in their soules and in their bodies when he beginnes with them in vengeance he will not spare when he begins he will also make an end and he will do a thing vnto them at which both the eares of them that heare it shall tingle 1. Sam. 3.11.12 as it appeares vnto vs 1. In many examples in the word 2. In many examples in other writings 3. In many examples in the world Which should assure vs that hee will not spare The fourth Commandement Remember the Sabboath day to keep it holy Six daies shalt thou labor and doe all that thou hast to doe But the seuenth day is the Sabbaoth of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke thou nor thy sonne nor thy daughter thy man seruant nor thy maidseruant nor thy cattell nor thy stranger that is within thy gates For in six daies the Lord made heauen earth the Sea and all that in them is rested the seuenth day wherefore the Lord blessed the Seuenth day and halowed it 1. The affirming part of this commandement We must keepe this an holy rest vnto the Lord. The things commanded in this precept are 1. That on the Lords day we doe al holy and religious workes 2. That we cease from our worldy labours 3. That wee rest from sin and wickednesse For 1. They suite well with the season in holy day holy workes 2. In it wee must doe no manner of worke 3. So the Lord by his spirit shall worke in vs his good worke Vse 1. Hereby therefore am I taught and shewed that as I should at all times as much as my vocation and necessitie will permit be carefull to visit Gods temple to heare and reade his word and meditate thereon to call vpon the Lord by praier to doe the worke of piety and charity and as much as in me lieth to stirre vp others also thereunto so should I especially on this day do the workes of the day that is 1. Make praiers and sing praises vnto God 2. Gather instruction to mine owne soule meditating on Gods holy word and workes 3. Exercises the works of mercy to my brethren As he hath coÌ„manded that is the Lord of the day 2. Here I perceiue that as to liue idely on the other daies is damnable so to be troubled with Martha about the many things of this life and of this world on this day is abominable wherein is commanded a remission of all seruile labours and the workes of our callings that wee may serue God more freely in our places whom we are this day especially to honour with our 1. Bodies 2. Soules and 3. Substance Prou. 3.9 As he hath required that appointed this rest 3. Hereby I am instructed that I must not rest this the Lords day as the people of Israel did fast in their day Es 58.4 for strife and debate and to smite with the fift of wickednesse
