The second use is for Reproof to those who greedily give up their hearts to the enjoyment of all the carnal and sensual delight that they can take in the abundance of the outward mercies that God hath given them,¹ knowing no higher good of them, then to take their fill of canal delight from them, blessing themselves in them, little thinking of God, or any service that God calls for at their hands in the use of them; They know not how to rejoice, and not to let out themselves to the full beyond all bounds of moderation. They know not how to make any conjunction between rejoicing and moderation, they think there is such a distance between these two, that they can never be joined in one: but mark how wide these are from the mind of the Holy ⟨p. 134⟩Ghost, Phil. 4. 4, 5. Rejoice always, and again I say rejoice; what follows? then let us let out our hearts to the full, let us satisfy our selves to the utmost way, but let your moderation be known to all men; many who care not how they neglect full opportunities for the service of God, or receiving spiritual blessings from God, yet will be sure to take to the full all the advantage they can of all their outward prosperity to fatten their hearts in all manner of carnal jollity and brutish sensuality: they let out their hearts to the utmost to this, making the bounty of God but as fuel to their lusts, and means to fat up their hearts to destruction, and to make them the more bold, and impudent in sinning against him.
