  Mr. Peters last report of the English vvars occasioned by the importunity of a friend pressing an answer to seven quæres, viz. I. why he was silent at the surrender of Oxford, II. what he observed at Worcester it being the last towne in the kings hand, III. what were best to doe with the army, IV. if he had any expedient for the present difference, V. what his thoughts were in relation to forreigne states, VI. how these late mercies and conquests might be preserved and improved, VII. why his name appeares in so many bookes not without blots, and he never wipe them off.

summary:
  First , In that you heard not from me upon the surrender of Oxford , I heare so much of it on both eares , and the distance was so little from London , that I forbore to report that to you , which you might have beene an eye-witnesse of at so little charge and trouble : onely let me be your true informer , that you had nothing committed then by ours , that had not its rise from integrity and faithfulnesse to the State , accompanied with such skill , as the Lord was pleased to dispence ; and let me tell you , men upon the place ( in such case ) can better judge , then lookers on afarre off , I hope you will not lose by that bargaine in the end , though it seeme for present an ill penniworth . Lastly , men are not in their proper worke , which excentrick motions produce many things uncoucht : I need not particularize , but when I see the languishing perishing conditions of many Counties , thorough want of preaching I must be bold to say to wrangling is none of our proper worke ; I think we might doe God more service in Studie and Pulpits , then in waiting at great mens doores , and working them up to their selvish interests .

summary:
  First , Tell me I pray thee , when didst thou deliberate about Christ whether he was worth the having ? tell me , what time have you taken to deliberate to think with your selves how to come by him ? tell me in what closet , in what field , under what hedge hast thou been casting about this point ? you can cast about how to pay your rents , but tell me when didst thou consider thy soul was going to Hell without Christ being a Saviour to thee ? Secondly , Who is he that makes serious consultation how he may get Christ and salvation to his soul ? and who is he that goes to the Ministers or neighbors , and consults how and by what means he may obtain Christ : Physicians may have their Patients , Lawyers their cliants come by twenties knocking at their door before they be up , and good sir follow my suit , I must beg else ; but your Minister may cool his heels in his study all the week long before you come with such a question , Alas fir , what shall I do ? and cry out good sir help me to Christ or else I perish : The second is a differing the ways of God from the ways of man ; were Gods ways like the ways of men , then a poor soul hearing of such rich booties to be had in Christ , and at so low a rate , will be ready to object and say ,

summary:
  Men and women having the oversight of meat , drink and other things , shall govern by turns , and in case some would rather keep to their ordinary work , they shall be passed by , and others put in their stead , 10. or 12. men and women . Shall we never be able to attain to this , to choose rather to lay up our estates in the hungry bellies of the poor , than in a few bags , to lay the foundation of our prayse upon the prayers of the poor to make the cross of Christ our glory , and not to eschew the disfavour of man , as the reward of our weldoing ; in a word , to put of all desire of fame and renown , as also to refer all desire of Revenge to the Iudgment of Christ , we shall be able to do all this if we forgetnot , that our God is the most faithfull of all Debtors , and the most sure of all securities if also we never forget , that his praise which shall be given to us , in the presence of men and Angells is the most glorious praise , and that his renumerations and recompences are the most noble , and everlasting .

summary:
  I have gone joyfully and willingly many a Time to lay down my Life upon the Account of Christ , but never with so much Joy and Freedom as at this Time : I do not lay down my Life by constraint , but willingly ; for if I had been minded to have run away I might have had many Opportunities ; but being so clear in the Thing I durst not turn my Back , nor step a Foot out of the Way , by Reason I had been engaged in the Service of so Glorious and Great a God ; however Men presume to call it by hard Names , yet I believe e'er it be long the Lord will make it known from Heaven that there was more of God in it than Men are now aware of . The first thing ( indeed ) that hath been very Weighty , ( and I desire to leave it upon all , upon Saints as well upon those that are not acquainted with Jesus Christ , ) that Eternity , Immortality and Eternal Life , it is a wonderful Thing ; the Thoughts and Apprehensions of it are able to swallow up a poor Soul : We little think what it is ; he that knows most of God , and most of Christ , and hath the greatest Measure of the Anointing , he little , little knows what it is to Appear before the Holy , the most Glorious , the most Righteous God of Heaven and Earth ; to stand before his Judgment-Seat , before Jesus Christ that is at his Right-hand ; and where all the Holy Angels are so ashamed ( because of the Glory of God ) that they fall down and cover their Faces , and cry , Holy , Holy , Lord God Almighty , which art , and wast , and art to come .

summary:
  9. For Civil Controversies , let there bee in everie Town , and place , ( or Ward ) appointed two or more Peace-makers ; who may hear the differences between man and man , before anie may go to Law , and if it bee possible , let them end it : and fit men for such business , will end most controversies , and spare the Magistrate a great labor , and the Commonaltie , great trouble , and charge , and onely by perswading ; yet these must bee well regulated , they must hear no man in private alone ; and manie the like . 10. That Justice may be neer to all men , let there bee in everie Citie , town , and hundred , appointed five , or seven able fit men , to determine all Controversies for Debts , and strifes ; and anie three of them present , to have power to give sentence ; and well regulated with other Laws ; in weightie cases they may advise with learned men , both Advocates , and Divines , but the power to determine to bee in them ; as in Holland . 5. That they bee taught and exampled by their Tutors in the shortest waie , for doubtless these godlie Students will get more in moneths , then others in years ; their own conscience beeing an alarum to them : And hence with submission it is offred , that Tutors would let them know what parts of man they must deal withal in preaching , viz.

  A dying fathers last legacy to an onely child, or, Mr. Hugh Peter's advice to his daughter written by his own hand, during his late imprisonment in the Tower of London, and given her a little before his death.

summary:
  The cure in general , even for Peter , who ( by it ) denied his Master , is this , That whoever fears to sin , never sins by fear ; and more particularly , The absence of some good you desire , or the coming on of some evil , draws out this fear : Therefore make much of this Rule ; Be ever possest of some good , that may answer the taking away of what you may lose , which is the presence and favour of God in Christ : To the Impartial READER BE not Discouraged from reading this small Treatise , because of the unhappy End of a wearisom pilgrimage , which the Author met with in this world ; If we get a Fall in a journey , or meet with a great showre of rain so it be in the close of the day , when we are near our Inn , where we meet with accommodation and refreshment , we are the less troubled ; Yet such was his Care ( who for many years was very Instrumental in the Church of God , and a means of bringing many Souls to Christ ; and for the Good of others , came into this Kingdom when it was in a flame of Civil War , which hath signed him also , that he might escape everlasting flames ) in this Discourse he bewails the vanity of his own Spirit ; And we will not Exause him : he finds himself too busie in Aliena Republica , and we will not justifie him ;

But this Covenant was of the whole Church with God , and therefore not like our Chu●ch-Covenants , whi●h are between the Church and the members concerning watchfulnesse over one another , and the like .
