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.

1Of prayer also, which shall be more fully spoken of in another place, there is an holy and reverent use to be made (though many are little acquainted with it) namely, that we should seriously weigh Gods almighty power, and how fatherly he is affected to us, which two things should be our pillars to lean unto, so that we may be the better prepared thereto: that whilst we §Hare in pouring out of our prayers unto him, we may through this confidence,2 feel our selves effectually moved to lift up pure heart and hands unto him with cheerfulness:3 and after blessing received, be made more readily disposed to pray often with thanksgiving. And these are some of the chief duties to God, and in such manner, as is before mentioned, they are to be performed unto him.
