Thirdly, We are bound by the bond of Redemption. For we are therefore delivered out of the hands of our enemies by Jesus Christ, 1that we should serve him in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life. Quot inimici, tot ora. So many enemies as we are freed from by the death of Christ, so many mouths to call upon us to serve Jesus Christ. And in this sense the very Devil himself, and Hell it self (as we are redeemed from them) do call upon us to serve God, and to serve him faithfully, &c.

Fourthly, We are bound by the bond of Sanctification. For this is the end of our sanctification, That we might have grace to serve him so as to please him, Heb. 12. 28. Quot gratiae, tot ora, so many graces as God hath planted in thee, so many mouths to call upon thee to serve God. For who goes to warfare at his own charge? saith the Apostle,1 Who planteth a Vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock? If God hath planted the graces of his Spirit in thy soul, he looks to reap the fruit of his own plantation and husbandry by thy holy serving of God.
