Joshua chose to serve God Absolutely and Inconditionally. §9For God is a Master that cannot err in his commands, and therefore he must be obeyed without examining of what he commands, with blind obedience. Sufficit pro universis rationibus Deus vult. This is reason sufficient, the unerring God will have it so. This is the best sighted obedience. Man may err in his commands, and therefore is to be served with limitations and examinations. They do befool themselves (saith Lactantius) that follow the judgement of their leaders without judgement, which is the property of Sheep rather then of reasonable men. It is a good saying of Sir THOMAS MORE, I will not pin my salvation upon any mans sleeve, because I know not whither he will carry it. But ⟨p. 10⟩God must be obeyed without an If: with absolute, in conditional, unexamined subjection, this is to serve God as God.

10. Joshua chose to serve God transcendently and Angelically. To do his will on earth as it is done in Heaven. For he is Jehovah that gives being to all, the great God of the whole earth, and therefore is to be served with super superlative super transcendent service, [Greek or Hebrew].
