Transcriber's Note:
The text of Part IV of A Christian Directory has been transcribed from pages 737 to 948 of Volume I of Richard Baxter's Practical Works, as lithographed from the 1846 edition.
The greater part comprises 34 chapters that mostly address duties to rulers and to neighbours. These are followed by a "Moral Prognostication" on the future of the churches, and by a "Reformed Liturgy" that Baxter proposed. A table of contents has been inserted to assist the reader.
In the Liturgy all sub-headings, commentary and instructions to the Minister have been indented. The Liturgy includes a large number of sidenotes citing relevant biblical passages. In the interests of legibility these have been consolidated into footnotes at the end of each paragraph.
Small capitals have been rendered in full capitals. Italics are indicated by _underscores_. Sidenotes refer to the following paragraph.
Inconsistencies in hyphenation, and apparent typographical errors, have been corrected. The anchors for footnotes 5 and 8, in chapter I, have been inserted after consulting another edition of the text.
