1'Tis true, Buying denotes our parting with something that is our own, that we may have that we want: But what is ours which we must part with? Is it of any worth? We must (1.) Part with all our Sins, Evil Courses, Evil Habits, and old Companions. (2.) With our old Hopes of Heaven. (3.) Our own Righteousness in respect of Trust and Dependence: And what is that but filthy Rags? We have nothing to part with but cursed Filth and Pollution.

2. Sirs, whatsoever you have which is good, it is his own; Of thine own have we given thee, saith David. 'Tis true, we must give him the Glory of our External and Internal Riches; Gifts, Grace, Righteousness, but this is but to give him what is his own;1 If thou art Righteous, ⟨p. 275⟩what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he at thine Hand?
