this_o both_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a ordinary_o and_o at_o every_o time_n the_o family_n be_v call_v together_o to_o prayer_n it_o be_v well_o if_o a_o chapter_n be_v read_v either_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o our_o calendar_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o most_o material_a part_n of_o holy_a scripture_n may_v be_v read_v over_o the_o old_a testament_n once_o the_o new_a thrice_o a-year_n or_o if_o time_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o have_v four_o chapter_n read_v every_o day_n than_o the_o new_a testament_n may_v be_v read_v over_o in_o order_n and_o it_o will_v tend_v singular_o to_o the_o improvement_n of_o the_o youth_n of_o the_o family_n both_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o have_v they_o read_v the_o chapter_n by_o turn_n extraordinary_o i_o will_v recommend_v it_o to_o all_o family_n that_o on_o sunday-evening_n the_o master_n or_o mistress_n have_v call_v together_o their_o whole_a family_n will_v beside_o the_o chapter_n cause_n to_o be_v read_v some_o discourse_n out_o of_o some_o practical_a treatise_n and_o i_o shall_v here_o recommend_v what_o book_n they_o may_v read_v with_o profit_n and_o in_o what_o order_n and_o in_o the_o first_o ●●ace_n since_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o baptismal_a covenant_n be_v contain_v all_o that_o be_v essential_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v account_v such_o which_o be_v no_o part_n nor_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o since_o according_a as_o we_o have_v perform_v or_o not_o perform_v our_o part_n of_o this_o covenant_n we_o shall_v be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v at_o the_o last_o day_n i_o be_o therefore_o persuade_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o nature_n term_n and_o condition_n of_o this_o covenant_n by_o who_o mediation_n we_o obtain_v such_o gracious_a term_n of_o salvation_n and_o what_o vast_a obligation_n do_v lie_v upon_o we_o to_o discharge_v the_o same_o i_o be_o therefore_o i_o say_v persuade_v that_o a_o through_o understanding_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v fundamental_o necessary_a and_o since_o the_o general_a doctrine_n thereof_o give_v a_o view_n of_o the_o whole_a scheme_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n i_o humble_o conceive_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n teach_v and_o understand_v in_o christianity_n to_o which_o end_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o recommend_v every_o sunday_n the_o read_n of_o a_o lecture_n in_o the_o forego_n short_a discourse_n till_o it_o be_v go_v through_o and_o then_o after_o that_o for_o a_o more_o particular_a information_n in_o the_o several_a condition_n of_o this_o covenant_n i_o will_v be_v glad_a if_o some_o treatise_n upon_o the_o article_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n such_o as_o kettlewel_n practical_a believer_n and_o next_o to_o that_o some_o discourse_n upon_o the_o several_a christian_a duty_n such_o as_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n be_v by_o degree_n read_v over_o and_o then_o if_o next_o after_o this_o a_o discourse_n upon_o the_o sacrament_n such_o as_o kettlewell_n help_n and_o exhortation_n to_o worthy_a communicate_v be_v also_o read_v there_o will_v be_v nothing_o want_v to_o give_v all_o the_o mem●●rs_n of_o a_o family_n both_o a_o general_n and_o particular_a knowledge_n in_o the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n and_o to_o guide_v they_o to_o heaven_n these_o three_o last_o mention_v book_n be_v what_o i_o will_v wish_v be_v in_o every_o family_n for_o the_o complete_a instruction_n of_o the_o member_n of_o it_o but_o in_o regard_n they_o may_v be_v think_v too_o dear_a a_o purchase_n and_o too_o tedious_a for_o some_o instead_o thereof_o the_o guide_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o the_o christian_a monitor_n may_v serve_v excellent_o for_o the_o purpose_n of_o family_n instruction_n and_o if_o with_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o be_v bind_v up_o wake_v upon_o death_n between_o these_o three_o there_o will_v be_v a_o admirable_a rule_n provide_v for_o holy_a live_n and_o die_v and_o both_o together_o will_v make_v up_o a_o excellent_a poor_a man_n family-book_n the_o purchase_n of_o the_o two_o latter_a will_v not_o arise_v to_o above_o one_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n and_o of_o all_o together_o to_o not_o above_o eight_o shilling_n and_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o this_o church_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n if_o so_o many_o of_o our_o common_a people_n do_v not_o lay_v out_o much_o more_o as_o they_o general_o do_v to_o the_o load_n of_o their_o shelf_n in_o book_n of_o a_o antinomian_a spirit_n such_o as_o bunyan_n book_n to_o the_o poison_v of_o many_o thousand_o person_n both_o in_o their_o faith_n and_o practice_n three_o and_o now_o after_o the_o psalm_n and_o chapter_n and_o the_o other_o read_v on_o sunday_n in_o the_o close_a it_o be_v proper_a that_o prayer_n shall_v succeed_v for_o which_o by_o this_o time_n we_o may_v suppose_v all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o family_n to_o be_v very_o well_o prepare_v and_o to_o be_v put_v in_o a_o good_a frame_n of_o spirit_n and_o there_o be_v indeed_o great_a variety_n of_o excellent_a devotion_n in_o the_o forego_n book_n especial_o if_o to_o they_o there_o shall_v be_v add_v patrick_n devout_a christian_n however_o to_o render_v this_o as_o general_o useful_a as_o may_v be_v for_o all_o the_o purpose_n of_o family-religion_n i_o shall_v add_v a_o prayer_n for_o the_o morning_n and_o

particular_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o our_o catechism_n the_o pray_v over_o of_o which_o will_v have_v these_o advantage_n in_o my_o opinion_n of_o all_o other_o form_n that_o first_o the_o thing_n thereby_o pray_v for_o will_v be_v the_o same_o we_o have_v covenant_v with_o god_n to_o perform_v and_o second_o every_o single_a expression_n be_v pregnant_a of_o abundance_n of_o matter_n

much_o variety_n of_o expression_n there_o be_v but_o little_a matter_n include_v and_o by_o the_o by_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o form_n in_o the_o liturgy_n especial_o of_o those_o supplication_n follow_v the_o several_a commandment_n the_o injury_n which_o be_v do_v to_o our_o church_n service_n be_v intolerarable_a when_o it_o be_v hurry_v over_o and_o read_v precipitately_a so_o as_o the_o worshipper_n can_v have_v due_a space_n to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o copious_a matter_n he_o pray_v for_o under_o those_o comprehensive_a expression_n prayer_n o_o most_o bless_a lord_n god_n who_o glorious_a name_n be_v exalt_v above_o all_o blessing_n and_o praise_n yet_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o our_o happiness_n to_o glorify_v thou_o and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o a_o small_a
