A Survey or Table declaring the order of the causes of salvation and damnation according to God’s word. It may be in stead of an ocular Catechism to them which can not read, for by the pointing of the finger, they may sensibly perceive the chief points of religion, and the order of them.

God created all things for himself, and the wicked man for the evil day. Proverbs 16:4 Hath not the potter power over the clay to make of the same lump one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor. Romans 9:21 If any be in Christ, let him be a new creature. 2 Corinthians 5:21

To the Reader The red line shows the order of the causes of salvation from

the first to the last. The black line shows the order of the causes of damnation. The lines A,A,A, show how faith does apprehend Christ and all

his benefits; and applies them to the person of every believer for his justification and sanctification.

The lines B,B,B, descending, likewise show the tentation of the godly, and their remedies.

The wide spaces C,C,C, show the communication of the Godhead from the Father to the Son, and from them both to the holy Ghost.

The Father

God’s Glory

O the altitude of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out? Romans 11:33 I count all things but dung, that I may win Christ. Philippians 3:8 “My love is crucified.” Ignatius
