Thirdly, Let the LORD Jesus Christ have the Throne, and be exalted above ALL in your Souls, Isa. 2.17. And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that Day. Let your own Imaginations be cast down, and every high thing that exalteth it Self against the knowledge of God, that every Thought may be brought into Captivity to the Obedience of Christ. Be willing to resign your whole Man, Spirit, Soul and Body, unto the Government of Christ, as LORD and King, to Reign and Rule, Guide and Govern you by his holy Spirit, and Written Word.
Not that you can do those things of your selves; I have told you, without Christ you can do nothing, Joh. 15.5. But it is your duty to do them, and it is the Free Grace of God, to work in you to will and to do, according to his good pleasure, Phil. 2.12, 13. that he so working in you, you may work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
I would through the Divine Assistance ⟨p. 37⟩of the Spirit and Grace of God, make some Application of this our general Position unto the Churches of Saints, for their edification.
