(Thirdly,) The first fruits were holy to the Lord. These God did reserve for himself, as it were, for his own eating. As you know, the first fruits are preserved for to be presented to Kings at their table for their eating. So are you. Thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God, Psal. 4, […]. Know ye that the man that is Godly, God hath set apart for himself. God says as it were, set this man by for me. God says of his first fruits, these shall be set aside for me. These shall be mine, Mal. 3. 17. As God would put a special honour upon the Sabbath day above all other days, because upon this day he rested from his Labour: so you are the honour of all the Creation: because you are a people that God hath set apart for himself. Ah Brethren, here is your dignity and privilege above all people, that you are separate to the Lord: that you have special relation to him. This makes you to be above all other people, because the Sun of Gods favour shines peculiarly upon you.
