An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners

And since thou hast told me that I must suffer if I will reign, I do here Covenant with thee to take my lot, as it falls, with thee, and by thy Crace assisting to run all hazards with thee, ⟨p. 168⟩verily supposing that neither life nor death shall part between thee and me.

And because thou hast been pleased to give me thy holy Laws,¹ as the rule of my life, and the way in which I should walk to thy Kingdom; I do here willingly put my Neck under thy Yoke, and set my shoulder to thy burden; and subscribing to all thy Laws, as holy, just, and good, I solemnly take them as the rule of my words, thoughts, and actions; promising that though my flesh contradict and rebel, yet I will endeavour to order and govern my whole life according to thy direction; and will not allow my self in the neglect of any thing that I know to be my Duty.

1. 1The less Principal are the Laws of Christ, which must be thus observed.
