e, Soberness, and Chastity; not to Covet nor Desire other Men's Goods, but to learn and labour truly to get mine own Living; and to do my Duty in that State of Life unto which it shall please God to call me. Catechist. _My good Child, know this, that thou art not able to do these Things of thyself, nor to walk in the Commandments of God, and to serve him, without his special Grace; which thou must learn at all Times to call for by diligent Prayer. Let me hear, therefore, if thou canst say the Lord's Prayer_? _A_. Our Father which art in Heaven; Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this Day our daily Bread. And forgive us our Trespasses, as we forgive them that Trespass against us. And lead us not into Temptation; but deliver us from Evil. _Amen_.

Water; wherein the Person is baptised, _In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost_. Q. _What is the inward and spiritual Grace_? _A_. A Death unto Sin, and a new Birth unto Righteousness: For being by Nature born in Sin, and the Children of Wrath, we are hereby made the Children of G
