[Rom. 6.11. Likewise reckon ye also your selves to be dead indeed unto Sin, but alive [living] unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Gal. 2.19. For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I might live unto God. 2 Cor. 5.15. And that he died for all, that they which live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, ⟨p. 82⟩and rose again. 1 Thess. 1.9. Ye turned to God from Idols, to serve the living and true God, &c. Luk. 1.74, 75. That he [the Lord God of Israel] would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hands of our Enemies, might serve him without fear, in Holiness and Righteousness before him, all the days of our Life. See Mat. 4.10. Rom. 1.9. 2 Tim. 1.3. Heb. 9.14. & 12.28. Rom. 14.18. For he that in these things [Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost] serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of Men. See Joh. 12.26. Rom. 16.18. Rev. 1.1. In Eph. 5.22, &c. Wives submit your selves unto your own Husbands as unto the Lord: for the Husband is the Head of the Wise, even as Christ is the Head of the Church, and he is the Saviour of the Body. Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ; so let the Wives be unto their own Husbands in every thing. To serve God and Christ, is from Love to obey them, as having respect to the Authority of both, and aiming at the Glory of both.
