¶ Short questions and answers, containing the Sum of Christian Religion.  Deut. 6.6. 
6. These words, which I command thee this day, shallbe in thy heart:  
7. And thou shalt rehearse them continually unto thy children, and shalt talk of them, when thou tarriest in thy house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  
LONDON. Printed by john Dawson. 1623.   

These are the orders which I have seen observed in a Christian Gentleman's house, to the profit of his household, example of others, comfort of God's children, and honour of God.  
WHile they had a minister the whole household met at the Church twice every Sabbath; and once every week day: but since the restraint of their minister, they meet every morning in the week day in the parlour, where their master kneeleth down with them, and prayeth using these prapers following.  
The confession of shyves, with morning prayer for private householders, for men before their labour, for the Church, the Realm, the Queen, and Magistrates, the Lord's prayer, and confession of faith, all which prayers are in the book of common prayer.  
If he be from home, or sick then doth his Steward, or some such like of them say those prayers.  
After prayers the household departeth either whither necessity of their offices call them, or whither delight in honest exercises for recreation doth carry them.  

Before prayer meditate of these places.  
They shall call upon me, 
Pron. 1.28.  but I will not answer: they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.  
29 Be  
them to the former excess of riot, say you, and perform with josua. 35.17. We and our households will serve the Lord. And you, O Lady's; mistresses & dames, say every one of you with Hester, I and my maids will do the like. Hester. 4.16. And howsoever the world condemn you, the Lord will reveal himself unto you, power his blessings of knowledge, of peace, of religion, of good rulers, and will continue the same unto the remnant of our children & posterity, which shall come after us, which he grant for his Christ's sake.
