Fifthly, he hath separated you for himself, he hath taken you into a near 1communion unto himself; though God is to be feared by all, yet more especially in a higher degree, he is to be feared in the assembly of his ⟨p. 185⟩Saints, and to be had in reverence of them that are about him, Psa. 89. 7.

Sixthly, God hath put other dignities 1upon you, that he hath not put upon other men; he hath made you Citizens of the new Jerusalem, favourites of heaven, heirs, co-heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. God hath raised you above the condition of men; and therefore you must not walk as men. The Apostle, 1 Cor. 3. 3. blamed the Corinthians that they did walk as men: He hath redeemed you from the earth, Revel• 4. 3. Therefore you must not walk as the men of the earth: God hath not dealt thus with other people, they know not what these things mean. Therefore well may the Lord expect from you other manner of service and honour, than he hath from other men.
