It is a sin of formal injustice; for every deliverance doth 1bind over the delivered, to the service of the deliverer; so saith the Apostle, You are not your own, for ye are bought with a price, 2therefore glorify God with your bodies, and with your spirits, which are Gods; and so also, Luk. 1. 74. That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness, &c. Among the Romans the parties delivered, were the servants of the deliverers. And therefore to break Gods Commandments after deliverance, is to be guilty of the horrible sin of injustice. Thou art not only unthankful, but unjust, which is a brand that will confound any man.
