And this service of God is set down by the object of it; God. By the rule of his worship; the will of God. He served God, but ⟨p. 171⟩how? as he had revealed his will to him, not at random: God will be served according to his own will. And then here is the act, he served▪ So here is the proper object of worship, God, in whom all our service is terminate; whatsoever we do it must rest in him; if we do good works to men, it must be for Gods sake, we must serve God in it. Then here is the proper rule carrying us to that object, his Will And then it must be a service, it must be done in obedience to God. David in his Generation served the will (or counsel) of God, as the Word is. For his death, we shall speak of it after.
