Then Secondly, That they might acknowledge him, 1that they might thus fear him, that they might worship ⟨p. 126⟩him, that they might love him, and trust in him, as the most high God.
- 12
They called them to the most high, that they might come to have this high God to be theirs, to enjoy him to 1be their portion; thus the Prophets called them to the most high. Whereas their hearts were drossy, and low, and base, they minded only the satisfying of their flesh, and having their wills one upon another, their hearts hung down to their devised worship, though the thing it was suitable to their public ends, and it was great wisdom for them so to do, yet God would not own that, but did despise that worship of theirs that they thought to honour him withal, and the Prophets therefore called them from these base, drossy things, called them to the most high God.
