Again, whatsoever we do without this consideration, it is not put upon our account for comfort, when we do things upon judgement, it is with examination whether it be according to the rule or no. Our service of God is especially in our affections, when we joy and fear, and delight aright. Now how can a man do this without consideration? For the affections, wheresoever▪ they are ordinate and good, they are raised up by judgement; they are never good but when they are regular and according to judgement, when judgement raiseth up the affections, and we see cause why we should delight in God, and love him, and fear him more then any thing in the world, they are then an effectual part of divine worship: But else they are flat and dead, and dull, if we waken them not with consideration. The heart follows the judgement, the brain and the heart sympathize, when we see cause and reason to love and fear, and worship God, we must love God with all our mind, that is, with our best understanding, we must see reason why we do so.
