1. As to your Persons.
2. As to your Employments.
1. As to your Persons: Give the Lord Jesus a Throne in your hearts, or it will not be at all to your advantage, that he hath a throne and kingdom in the world. Perhaps you will see the plenty of it, but not taste one morsel. Take first that which comes not by Observation, that which is within you, which is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost. Take it in it's power, and you will be the better enabled to observe it coming in it's glory. Seek first this kingdom of God, and the righteousness thereof, and all these things shall be added unto you. Oh that it were the will of God, to put an end to all that pretended holiness, hypocritical Humiliation, self-interested Religion, that have been among us, whereby we have flattered God with our lips, whilst our hearts have been far from him. Oh that it might be the glory of this Assembly, above all the Assemblies of the world, that every Ruler in it, might be a sincere Subject in the kingdom of the Lord Jesus. Oh that it might suffice that we have had in our Parliament, and among our Ministers, so much of the form, and so little of the power of Godliness: that we have called world Christ, and lust Christ, and self Christ, working indeed for them, when we pretended all for Christ. Oh that I could nourish this one contention in your Honourable Assembly, that you might strive who should excel in setting up the Lord Jesus in their hearts.
