Oh, if we could think of this wheresoever we ar•, we would take no liberty to offend God in any thing• we would not thrust Religion into a corner, into a narrow room, and limit it to some days, and times, and actions, and places; and then take liberty to defraud, and dissemble; to abuse our selves ⟨p. 212⟩this way, and that way; is this to serve God? to serve God is to carry our •elves as the children of God wheresoever we are: so that our whole life is a service of God.

A Christian is no Libertine, no man of freedom, he is a servant. Indeed we have changed our Master: we are set at liberty from the slavery of sin and Satan; but it is not that we should do nothing; to be Belialls, without yoke: but it is to serve God, we are taken from the service of Satan to be the Lords free-men, and indeed it is to that end, we are delivered that we might serve God; therefore all the actions of our life should be a service to God.1
