(3.) They do entirely give up themselves to God, not to be his in a few things, but in all, to serve him with all their faculties; You are not your own, but are bought with a price. 1 Cor. 6. 20. Therefore glorify God both with your Bodies and Souls, which are Gods. And to serve him in all conditions. Rom. 14. 8. Whether we live, we live unto God, or whether we die, we die unto God; for living or dying we are the Lord's. They are willing to be used for his Glory, not only as active Instruments, but as passive Objects, they give up themselves to obey his governing will, and to submit to his disposing will, to be what he would have them to be, as well as to do what he would have them to do. Phil. 1. 20. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my Body, whether it be by Life or by Death. Thus with all their ⟨p. 87⟩faculties in every condition of Life, are they to be devoted to God, in all actions. It is said Zach. 14. 20, 21. That Holiness to the Lord shall be written not only upon the Bowls of the Altar and the Pots of the Lord's House, but also upon all the Pots of Jerusalem; not only upon the Vessels of the Temple, but upon common utensils; that is, translate it into a Gospel Phrase, that not only in our sacred, but even in our common and civil actions, &c. we should live as a people, that are offered up to God.
