Answ. 1 Yes, It is a very great mercy, and blessing (I confess) to be used in any Work, or Service for God. This was Moses his Commendation, That he was the Servant of God; Moses, the Servant of the Lord, is dead. And in this Title, David gloried more, than that he was King of Israel, Psal. 18. A Psalm of David, the Servant of the Lord: He doth not say, A Psalm of David, the King of ⟨p. 287⟩Israel. Thus Paul, Peter, James, and Jude, do Entitle their Epistles: Paul, a Servant of Christ; and Peter, a Servant of Christ; and James, a Servant of Christ; and Jude, a Servant of Christ. Yea, and Christ himself doth glory in this Title of Gods Servant: and the Father glories in Christ upon this account:1 Behold my Servant, whom I have chosen. My Servant the Branch. So that a great Privilege it is, to be Gods Servant, used, and employed for him.
