'Tis Oil to the Wheels of Obedience, which makes the Soul go on cheerfully in the ways of the Lord, Psal. 119. 32. Then will I run the ways of thy Commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Non tardat uncta rota. Oiled Wheels run trig and nimble. How prompt and ready for any Duty of Obedience, is a Soul under the influences of Communion with God! Then as Isaiah having gotten a sight of God, Here am I, Lord, send me, Isa. 6. 8. Now the Soul can turn its hand to Duties, Of 1. Active. And 2. Passive Obedience.
