2. From the Benefit that will come to you and your house, if you carefully and constantly Worship God therein: God will take care of you and your family, if you take care of his Worship therein. Gen. 18.17. And the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? Ver. 19. ⟨p. 180⟩For I know him, that he will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do Justice and Judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

3. From the great evil that hangs over your family, if you should neglect the Worship of God therein; God will curse your family, and his wrath shall be the portion of you and your Children, if the worship of God be excluded from your House: though God hath spared you and your family in this late Contagion, yet his Wrath is still hovering over your house, if you call not upon him, Jer. 10.25. Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the Families that call not upon thy Name.— Fury is the utmost of Gods wrath: and, this shall not be dropped only, but poured out upon your family; God will pour down showers of wrath and fury upon those houses that neglect his Worship.
