1. Respect may be had merely and solely unto the unknown Sovereign will and pleasure of God, and so no more is intended but that general limitation and expression of our absolute dependence on him, which we ought to bound all our resolutions withal. This our nature, and the nature of all our affairs, as they are in the hand of God, and at his disposal, do require of us. And therefore also it is expressly enjoined us as a Duty to be continually minded in all we undertake or do, Jam. 4. 13, 14, 15. If this be intended (as it is also, if not only) then it is as if he had said, If he in whose hand is my life and breath and all my ways, whose I am, whom I serve, and to whose disposal I willingly submit my self in all things, see good and be pleased to continue my life, opportunity, his assistance and all other things necessary to this work, I will proceed with my design and purpose to acquaint you with and instruct you in the great mysteries of the Priesthood and Sacrifice of Christ. See 1 Cor. 16. 7.
