The saints inheritance and the worldlings portion representing the glorious condition of a child…

But what is this supernatural manner of serving God? I shall explain it thus. Seneca in giving his rule how to know the affections, when they are natural, and when not; saith, you shall know a natural affection by this, if it be kept with in bound, it is natural, if it be out of bounds, it is not natural; I'll make use of it in another way; when you come to the service of God, if you think to limit God in his service, this is but a natural service, you'll go so far and there stop, but if it be a supernatural service, you'll let out your hearts, if it were possible infinitely to God; you cannot be infinite, that is true, but you'll propound no bounds, nor limits to your service, & this is indeed the truth of grace, when it hath the impression of gracious infiniteness upon it; infiniteness is that whereby God is without all limits; so when the soul is without all limits and bounds in the way of grace, it is desirous to honour God, if it were possible in an infinite way; these are supernatural works.

But what is this supernaturall manner of serving God? I shall explain it thus. Seneca in giving his rule how to know the affections, when they are naturall, and when not; saith, you shall know a naturall affection by this, if it be kept with in bound, it is naturall, if it be out of bounds, it is not naturall; I'le make use of it in another way; when you come to the service of God, if you think to limit God in his service, this is but a naturall service, you'l go so far and there stop, but if it be a supernaturall service, you'l let out your hearts, if it were possible infinitely to God; you cannot be infinite, that is true, but you'l propound no bounds, nor limits to your service, & this is indeed the truth of grace, when it hath the impression of gracious infinitenesse upon it; infinitenesse is that whereby God is without all limits; so when the soul is without all limits and bounds in the way of grace, it is desirous to honour God, if it were possible in an infinite way; these are supernaturall works.

Lastly, would you not have your portion in this world, be willing to cast away whatever of your portion you have got sinfully; this in the name of God, I declare as a special thing; therefore take it home with you; what ever man or woman in this place would not have his portion in this world, but would have his portion in the world to come; whatsoever of thy portion, thou hast got in a sinful course, cast it away presently, never sleep with it, lye not down one night with it, rest not till thou art cleared of it.
