First, The substance of Joshua's choice; and that is, To serve Jehovah. Joshua doth not only choose to be saved by Jehovah, but to serve Jehovah. There is no man so wicked, ⟨p. 4⟩but he would be glad to be saved by God, but you must know that that man shall never have Christ for his Saviour, that will not have Christ for his Lord and Master.
