A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadful condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and persuading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to householders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshua's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate.

A. 2. To provide for his Church.
Christs providing for his Church extends to all things needful ⟨p. 13⟩for soul and body, even to all spiritual, and temporal blessings. He provides spiritual blessings for the souls of his members, by furnishing them with all needful saving graces. He likewise provides temporal blessings for their bodies, so far as he seeth to be good for them. The young Lyons do lack and suffer hunger, but they that fear the Lord shall not want any good thing, Psal. 34.10.
