Seven treatises containing such direction as is gathered out of the Holy Scriptures, leading and guiding to true happiness, both in this life, and in the life to come: and may be called the practise of Christianity. Profitable for all such as heartily desire the same: in the which, more particularly true Christians may learn how to lead a godly and comfortable life every day. Penned by Richard Rogers, preacher of the word of God at Wethersfield in Essex.Seuen treatises containing such direction as is gathered out of the Holie Scriptures, leading and guiding to true happines, both in this life, and in the life to come: and may be called the practise of Christianitie.

1That is, seeing some part of the day is usually bestowed in company: therefore §Gin what company soever we shall be, either of our own family, or strangers, superiors or inferiors, and how oft soever, that we have special regard to be harmless, and free from giving any ill example, carefully marking and shunning the occasions thereof, and provocations thereto. And that we be ready by all opportunities, to take any good that we may, either by example or communication from others: or do good our selves by offering both. And that in any of our dealings with men, about or in the things of this life, we neither hurt or do wrong to any, but rather suffer it, knowing how we are given to love our selves, and in matters of profit especially, with the neglect of others: which among Christians is a sore blemish.
