Transcriber's Note:
The text of Part III of A Christian Directory (or, a sum of Practical Theology and Cases of Conscience) has been transcribed from pages 547 to 736 of Volume I of Baxter's Practical Works, as lithographed from the 1846 edition. Part III addresses church duties. A table of contents has been inserted to assist the reader.
Small capitals have been rendered in full capitals. Italics are indicated by _underscores_. Sidenotes refer to the following paragraph.
The anchors for footnotes 119, 366 and 391 are missing. The first of these has been inserted after consulting another edition of the text. The reference in footnote 417 to the Book of Acts appears to be incorrect.
Inconsistencies in hyphenation, and apparent typographical errors, have been corrected.
