For it is the duty of Heaven, and not only so, but the preferment of Heaven. 1It is a duty that honoureth God, and it is the highest honour that God can put upon us, to give us leave to perform this duty. It is a duty that Adam should have performed, though he had never fallen. It is a duty that shall last for ever and ever. It is a comely duty. It is a pleasant duty.2 It is the highest expression of our love to God:3 It is the surest evidence of our election (For that man that loves the work of Heaven upon earth, shall certainly go to Heaven when he leaves the earth. Now the work of Heaven is to praise God.) It is the only rent penny which God requires for all the blessings he bestows upon us.
