And again surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction. And shall not all this engage you to God? What! neither the ancient and bountiful love of God, in contriving your Redemption from eternity, nor the bounty of God in rewarding all and every piece of service you have done for him. Nor yet the pleasure he takes in your obedience and upright walking. ⟨p. 608⟩Nor the encouraging promises he hath made thereto, nor yet his confident expectations of such a life from you whom he hath so many ways obliged and endeared to himself? will you forget your ancient friend? Contemn his rewards, take no delight or care to please him? Slight his promises, and deceive and fail his expectations? Be astonished, O ye Heavens, at this! And be horribly afraid. Consider how God the Father hath fastened this five fold cord upon your Souls, and show your selves Christians; yea to use the Prophets words, Esa. 46.8. Remember this and show your selves men.
