Lord: this challengeth our obedient service, Hunc audite, Matth. 17.5. Hear him, Act. 3.22. He is that great Prophet of the Lord, whom we are bound to hear in all things. Swear not: who commanded it? The Lord, Matth. 5.34. Be not angry unjustly: who forbade it? The Lord, Ver 22. Be merciful who imposed it? The Lord, Luk. 6. Who obeys this Lord? now this Lord forgive us.c If I be a Lord, where is my fear? He may ask indeed, where is it? and who can answer him with a demonstration? The Lion Roars, but who trembles? Qui non timebunt in verbis, dolebunt in verberibus. He that will notd tremble at his words, shall feel his wounds. But if he be our LORD to govern us, he will not be our JESUS to save us.
