Again, you are engaged to love him. you are married to him; you have given up your names to 1him in your baptism: so that now well may I ⟨p. 48⟩call you an adulterous generation, if you love him not, Ye are witnesses against your selves this day (saith Joshua) Joshua 24. if ye serve not the Lord. He takes great advantage of their promise that they had made to serve the Lord: ye are now witnesses against your selves if you do it not.
