Therefore,
1. Commit your selves to the tuition of his Grace; a man is to choose God for a guide as well as to take him for a Lord, to ask his counsel as well as submit to his Commandments: Jer. 3. 4. Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father thou art the guide of my youth.
1. Commit your selves to the tuition of his Grace; a man is to chuse God for a guide as well as to take him for a Lord, to ask his counsel as well as submit to his Commandments: Ier. 3. 4. Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father thou art the guide of my youth.
