5. Let this exhort you especially that are true Saints, whose bodies by grace are become the Temples of the holy Ghost; to labour to glorify God in your bodies as well as in your spirits, for they are Gods, and they are bought with a price as well as your souls. To labour to keep under your bodies, and to bring them into subjection: 1To yield your members as instruments of righteousness unto God, 2and as servants of righteousness unto holiness. Let me beseech you by the mercies of Jesus Christ who hath redeemed your bodies, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Think not any service too much for God with those bodies which shall one day be made so beautiful and glorious. Let godly Ministers be encouraged to wear out their bodies in their Ministerial employments, for they that turn many unto righteousness, shall shine as stars for ever and ever.
