Actual, is when our lives praise God.c Let your conversation be honest, that they beholding your good works, may glorify God in the day of visitation. So the master had taught the disciple, as the disciple taught us. Matth. 5.16. we, like blind Isaac, cannot see your hearts therefore we say, Let me feel thee my son. If your lives be rugged, like the hands of Esau; we will not trust your voices for the voice of Jacob. Have you righteousness? seal it, and deliver it as your act and deed. Aug. Noli gloriari quia linguâ benedicis, si vitâ maledicis. Never say you praise God with your words, when you dispraise him with your works.d Honour the Lord with thy substance, this is substantial honour. GOD gave Samuel to Anna, Anna gave Samuel back again to God. Return part of thy riches to him, that gave all to thee. David loved Mephibosheth for Jonathans sake: is Jonathan gone? yet we have many Mephibosheths. The Lord disposeth his part of thy substance to his ministers to his poor members: he increaseth thy part, for shame do not thou diminish his.
