There are others that serve God, and enter into Covenant to serve him, as you have lately done; but it is with so many limitations, qualifications, reservations and distinctions, that God cannot but abhor it. Some will serve God with an If: If they can keep their promotions. Some will serve God in some things and not in others; such was Herod that did many things, 1but still reserved his Herodias; Such was Ananias and Sapphira, that kept back half. Hundreds say with Naaman, In this the Lord pardon me. Some will serve God at some times and not at others, in some places and not in others; But the Lord abominates all thy services if it be not universal in all things, at all times, in all places, with all thy faculties.
