Again, he tells you; I am the Sovereign Lord: If you will have me for your God, you must give me the supremacy, Mat. 6. 24. I will not be an underling. You must not make me a second to sin, or […] worldly interest. If you will be my people, I must have the rule over you. You must not live at your down list. Will you come under my yoke? Will you bow to my government? Will you submit to my discipline? to my word? to my rod? Sinner, What sayest thou to this? Lord I had rather be •t thy command, than live at mine own list, I had rather have thy •ill to be done, than mine, I approve of and consent to thy Laws, and account it my privilege to lie under them. And though the flesh rebel, and often break over bounds, I am resolved to take no other Lord but thee. I willingly take the Oath of thy supremacy, and acknowledge thee for my Liege Sovereign, and resolve all my days to pay the tribute of Worship, Obedience, and Love, and Service is thee, and to live to thee, as the end of my Life. This is a right accepting of God.
