Let men say what they please, though our Obedience should be all lost, and never regarded, which is impossible, (for God is not unjust to forget our labour of love) yet here is a sufficient bottom, ground and Reason of yielding more Obedience unto God, then ever we shall do, whilst we live in this world. I speak also only of Gospel Grounds of Obedience, and not of those that are Natural and Legal, which are indispensable to all mankind.
