5. It required spiritual motives for all our solemn addresses unto him. There are some men who look upon all the Jews under 1the Old Testament as so many brute beasts, that did only mind earthly things: and that as children are allured by Apples and Nuts rather then by a great Inheritance; so they were only invited to duties by carnal and temporal motives, not by any spiritual considerations. Now how false this is, appeareth by the Prophets general complaints, that when they fasted, it was not to him, even to him; and so they howled, because of their miseries, but not because God was offended: And thus David, though he had received the pardon of his sin, yet how kindly, and spiritually doth he mourn, Against thee, thee only have I sinned? Thus Micah 7. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him. What can be more spiritual?
