But while we do thus, we are also to teach them the Doctrines of God. Inculcate upon them the Principles of Religion, as often as you do the Knife on the Stone in the Whetting of it. Twas said unto the Lord Jesus, in Matth. 22. 16. Master, Thou •e•chest the way of God in Truth. Every M•ster should render his young ones able to say that unto himself, Master, Thou ⟨image 29⟩teachest the Truth of God. Especially, We should be sure that they be not ignorant of any Saving Truths. Tell them, What they are come to by the First Adam, and what they may come to by the Second Adam. Tell them what Covenant man was once, and What Covenant man is now to be saved by. Yea, let none of the Things to be believed, none of the Things to be practised, none of the Things to be prayed for▪ be left unmentioned in your Instructions. All the Lessons of the Creed, the Commandments, and the Lords Prayer are to be laid before them. And we are to be particularly faithful to them, in the present Truths; the labouring Truths, the witnessed Truths of the Times, we should see ou• young ones well informed in. Give them at this day to be sensible, who is the Supreme Head, and King of the Church, and what Orders He has appointed to be observed there.
