2 Every Master in his Family is both a King, a Prophet, and a Priest. He is a King to govern his Family, a Prophet to teach and instruct his Family, and a Priest to offer the sacrifice of prayer and thanksgiving, not only for himself, but also for all those who are committed to his charge. Let therefore all Masters of Families know, that it is their duty which God will require of them, not only to pray by themselves (and yet I would to God all did but that) but also to call together all their family, and to be their mouth unto God in prayer, unto which they may be encouraged by Gods gracious promise,¹ That where two or three are gathered together in Christs name, there he will be in the midst of them.

1. 1Mat. 18. •0.

3 A Master of a Family by his daily offering up a morning and evening Sacrifice of prayer and praise, will make his house an house of prayer, or little Temple, which God will fill with his presence. Yea a Christians house is hereby made Gods Church, by a constant performance of holy duties, which is a great honour unto a family.
