PREFACE. * *It has been a general and true observation, that' with the eformation of these realms ignorance has gradually va- .idshed at the increase of learning amongst us, who taka the word of God for a " lantern to our leot, and a light to 'Our paths." Thus, they who groped their way to virtue and know- ledge in the days of darkness and implicit zeal, were taught little more than to mumble over a few prayers by heart, and never called upon to read, much less permitted to inquiie into the truth of what they professed. But, since the sunshine of the gospel of Jesns Christ has risen amongst iis; since we were loosed from the bands of ignorance and superstition; since every Protestant be- .ieves it to be his duty to promote Christian knowledge; certainly it will be confessed, that all improvements in learning ought to be encouraged, and consequently that they deserve our particular regard who study to make the first steps thereof firm and easy. For human prudence teacheth, that a good beginning is the most reasonable prospect of a good ending. Therefore, as fill learning gradually ascends from the first knowledore and use of letters, syllables, and words, ▼bat better work can the instructor of youth undertake, than endeavour to propagate the knowledge, prevent and rectify the mistakes, and root out the ill habits contracted ., by many in a wrong method, either through the ignorance or neglect of the teacher? 1 *■ \ 1 PART I.

LESSON I. X HOU, O Lord, hast maictained luv rifflit ainl ay cause; thou art set m the throne tliat judgelli right • Thou hast rebuked the heathen, and destroyed the ungodly: thou liast put out tlieu- name for ever and ever. The liord also will be a defence to tho nnnvp«««w1 • — .^.^ — ^ evcii a refuge in the time of trouble. mmm u 1 1 « n i l TO THE ENGLISIl TDNGUB. l^i\ I* ■J ■ LESSON II. Tlie rich and the poor meet together: the hoti is maker of tliem all. A prudent man foresceth the evil, and hidelh himself; hut the simple pass on, and are punished. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Rob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate. LESSON IIL Why standest thou so far off, O Lord, and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble? The ungodly, for his own liist, doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the same craft that they have devised. For the luigodly hath made boast of liis own heart's desire, and speaketh good of the covetous, whom God abhorretli. LESSON IV. Be not amongst wine-bibbers, amongst riotous caters of flesh. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall cover a man witk nigs. The father of the righteous shall" greatly rejoice; atid he that begetteth a wise child shail have joy iJ him. -J -f'^ I ll 5i A NEW GUIDE LESSON V, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the fii-raament showetb his handiwoik. One day telleth another, and one night doth cer- tify ant)ther. There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among tlicni. Their sound is gone out into all lauds, and their words unto the ends of the ^vorld. LESSON vi. The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth for ever; the judgments of the Lord are always rigliteous and true. More to be desired are they than gold; yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honevcomb. Moreover by them is thy servant taught; and ill keeping of them there is great reward.

LESSON I. The Lord looked down from liea% en upon llid cfnldreii of men, to see if lliere were any ibat would uT'dcrstund and seek after God. But tliey are all gone out of llie way, they are ill become vile: there is none that doth good, no, not one. / Theic throat is an open sepulchre; with then- tongues they have deceived; the poison of aspa i» under their lips. LESSON 11. By the blessing of ihe upiight, the city is oxaht'd ; but it is overthrown by tlie mouth of the wicked. Where no counsel is, thci people fall; \>n\ in iL? multitude of counselloviv there is siifety. /->. i 1 ^6 A NEW GUI0B Ho Uiui is surety for a stvanger, shall smart fot it; birt he that declineth to be a surety, is sure. The merciful man doth good to his own soul ; but Imj that is cruel tri^sbleth hi? ?\vn flesh. LESSON in. O Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me; thou knowest my down- sitting and my up- rising; thou didst understand my thoughts lon^ before. Thou art about my path and about my bed, and spiest out all ray ways. Try me, O God, and seek the ground of my heart; prove me^ and examine my thoughts. Look well if there be any way of wickedness i« me; and lead me in the way of eternal life. LESSON IV. It is not good to accept the peraon of the wicked ; to overthrow the righteous in judgment. TTie heart of the prudent getteth knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Many will entreat the favour of the prince; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. LESSON V. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil maa^ an^* Reserve me from the wicked man. l.«^Iu. J. ^. TO TUB ENGLISH TONGUE. M Who imagine mischief in tlieir hearts, and stir up strife all the day long. They have sharpened their tongues like a ser- pent: adder's poison is under their lips. Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the un- godly : preserve me from the wicked men, who aro purposed to overthrow my goings. LESSON VL The wisdom of the prudent is to understand hk way; but the folly of fools is deceit. Tlie simple believeth evQry word ; but the pnw dent man looketh well to his going. A mse man feareth and departeth from evil; but the fool rageth, and is confident. The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. TABLE I.
