This is the special Sacrifice here meant. God expects it of us:1 Non ut avarus, (as Ambros.) Not as if he were covetous of it; but ex debito. Yet as he must give the Beast to us,2 before we can give it to him. Joel 2. For the Lord must Leave a Blessing behind him; even a Meat Offering, and a Drink Offering for himself: So this spiritual Sacrifice of Prayers and Praise, must be Datum as well as Mandatum; Conferred, as Required. Tribuat Deus, ut homo retribuat: Let God give it to man, that man may give it to God: He that commands it, must bestow it.
