2. This dedication, this resignation of our selves to Gods use, to be at his disposing, without reservation, or power of revocation is often spoken of in Scripture; Isa. 44.5. One shall say I am the Lords, another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand to the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel. The meaning is, to give up their names to God, to be entered into his Muster Roll, and to be listed in his service, Rom. 6.13. Yield up your selves to God, as those that are alive from the dead. 'Tis the immediate fruit of Grace and new life infused in us: A natural man liveth to himself, to please himself, and give satisfaction to his own Lusts. Grace is a new Being and Life, that inclines us to Live and Act for God▪ As soon as this life is begotten in us, by the power of his Spirit, our hearts are inclined towards God, and you devote your selves to serve and please him. As your work and business was before to serve the Devil, the World and the Flesh; so now to please, serve and glorify God.
