Sermons preached

(1.) The manner of dedicating our selves to God, is to be considered. 'Tis usually done with grief, shame and indignation at our selves, that God hath been so long kept out of his right, with a full purpose to restore it to him with advantage. 1 Pet. 4. 3. The time past may suffice to have wrought the will of the flesh, and of Man, it is high time to give up our selves to ⟨p. 86⟩the Will of God, we have been long enough, too long dishonouring God, destroying our Souls, pleasing the Flesh, living according to the Flesh, and the course of the World, therefore they desire to make restitution. Rom. 6. 19. For as ye have yielded your Members Servants to Uncleanness and to Iniquity, unto iniquity: even so now yield your Members Servants to Righteousness, unto Holiness. Their forepast neglects of God and duty to him fill their Hearts with shame, therefore they resolve to double their diligence, and to be as eminent in Holiness, as before they were in Vanity and Sin.
