“An Earnest Call to Family Religion” by Samuel Slater, published in 1694, is a comprehensive religious treatise emphasizing the importance of family worship and piety.
塞缪尔·斯莱特（Samuel Slater）所著、1694 年出版的《恳切呼吁家庭宗教》（An Earnest Call to Family Religion）是一部全面的宗教论著，强调家庭敬拜与敬虔生活的重要性。
Slater, a Minister of the Gospel, presents this work as a collection of sermons, advocating for the establishment and maintenance of family worship as a critical aspect of Christian practice.
斯莱特作为一位福音的牧师，将本书呈现为一系列讲道的汇编，主张设立并持守家庭敬拜，视其为基督徒实践中至关重要的一环。
In his dedication, Slater addresses the Christian church at Crosby-Square in London, expressing his concern over the decline in practical religion and the apparent difference between contemporary Christians and their more devout predecessors.
在献辞中，斯莱特致书于伦敦克罗斯比广场（Crosby-Square）的基督教会，表达了他对实践性宗教衰退的忧虑，并指出当代基督徒与其更为虔诚的先辈之间所显现出的明显差异。
He notes a shift away from godliness, with many homes devoid of prayer, scripture reading, and other religious activities, which he equates with living without God.
他指出，人们正在远离敬虔，许多家庭缺乏祷告、圣经阅读以及其他属灵操练，他将这种状态等同于“没有上帝的生活”。
The book opens with a plea for the return to and reinforcement of religious practices within the family structure, which he sees as foundational to a robust Christian life.
本书开篇即恳切呼吁人们回归并加强家庭结构中的宗教实践，因为他认为这乃是坚固基督徒生命的根基。
Slater uses biblical references, particularly the example of Joshua who declared his household would serve the Lord, to underpin his arguments for family worship.
斯莱特运用圣经的引证，尤其是约书亚宣告“至于我和我家，我们必定事奉耶和华”的榜样，来支撑他关于家庭敬拜的论证。
He believes that the head of the household has a responsibility to lead their family in worship, ensuring that both children and servants are included.
他认为，家庭之首有责任带领全家敬拜，确保儿女与仆人都被包括在内。
He argues that this practice is not just a good thing to do, but a duty that is implied by various biblical precepts that call for continual, everywhere, and all kinds of prayer.
他论证说，这样的操练不仅是美善之事，更是一种责任，是由圣经中呼召人持续地、随处地、以各样方式祷告的多项训令所隐含的责任。
The treatise further insists that family worship is a means of bringing blessings upon the household, educating the young in Christian ways, and serving as a daily renewal of faith and commitment to God.
该论著进一步坚持认为，家庭敬拜是为全家带来祝福的途径，是在基督信仰中教导年轻人的方式，也是每日更新对上帝之信心与委身的操练。
Slater’s work is a clarion call to his contemporaries to elevate their religious observance at home, thereby influencing the wider community and ensuring the presence and blessing of God in their lives.
斯莱特的著作向其同时代的人发出一声号角般的呼召，劝勉他们提升家庭中的宗教敬虔，从而影响更广泛的群体，并确保上帝的同在与祝福临到他们的生命。
