7. You who are the people of God, and have him to be your God in Covenant, 1you should walk without offending of him, and without displeasing or grieving of your good God. Mal. 1. 6. A son honoureth his Father, and a servant his Master. If then I be a Father, where is mine honour? And if I be a Master, where is my fear? friends in Covenant carefully avoid mutual offences and provocations, you should fear the Lord and his goodness, Hosea 3. 5. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, Deut. 10. 20. Seeing that Thou our God hast given us such deliverance as this, should we again break thy Commandments! &c. Ezra 9. 13, 14. so seeing that the Lord is become our God, and hath delivered us from wrath, and made us to be his people, should we grieve him by sinning against him! Grieve not the Spirit of God by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption, Eph. 4. 30. Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, Colos. 1. 10. It were an excellent height if we could say unto God, as he spake unto his people in Micah 6. 3. O my people, what have I done unto thee, and wherein have I wearied thee? So if we could say, O our God what have we done against thee, and wherein have we displeased and grieved thee!
