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.

1 Cor. 8.4. There is none other God but one.
Q. How many Persons are there in the God-head?
A. Three, the Father, the Son, and the holy-Ghost.
Though there be but one God in substance, and essence, yet there be three distinct Persons subsisting in that one God-head. This appeareth from Christs own testimony in Matth. 28.19. Where he gives commission to his Apostles to teach all Nations, and Baptize them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the holy Ghost. See likewise, 1 Joh. 5.7. That God should be one in essence and three in persons, is a Mystery not to be comprehended, yet ought to be believed, being so plainly revealed in the Word.
