The particular that the Angel mentioned, was to counsel him to offer 1a burnt offering to the Lord. The signification thereof was, that thereby he should consecrate himself, body and soul, with the powers and parts of both unto the Lord: and so he should honour the Lord, as became him, and show, that he did thereby acknowledge himself willing and ready to obey him in all things. And this is our true serving of God to offer 2up our selves wholly under his government, as the Apostle speaketh to the Romans. And so on the contrary, they do nothing less, who give themselves to follow their own lusts, and the devices and desires of their wicked hearts, or who in some things will yield him duty, and by halves, as we read that Saul did, for which cause the Lord rejected him. Let the reader look more of this point in chap. 2. and in chap. 10. and elsewhere.
