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. 1. Every day. For first our Saviour hath intimated so much unto us in his plot-form of Prayer, by teaching us to Pray for our daily bread, in these words, Give us this day our daily bread; that is, bread needful for the present day. And in regard we daily stand in need of bread, therefore our Saviour would have us pray daily for the same.

2. Have you not daily wants to be supplied? wants for your selves, and wants for your Children, and Servants? Have you not daily infirmities in your Family to be healed? Are you not daily subject to dangers and temptations? And do you not daily sin against God? Is it not necessary then that you daily Pray unto God, for the supply of all your wants, for the healing of all your infirmities, for the preventing of the dangers you are daily subject unto, for the strengthening you against all your temptations, for the pardoning of all your sins. Surely our daily wants, our daily infirmities, our daily dangers, our daily temptations, and our daily sins, do all call upon us for daily prayers.
