Therefore, so they may obtain the favour of GOD, he assureth them, tha• they shall have a continual course of victories. At the length, he exhorteth them again, that as they love their own life and health, so they would be earnest to love God. Out of which spring ariseth all true obedience: for, except we do love him freely, and of a willing mind, in vain we shall study to frame our manners according to the outward form of the Law.
