SECT. I.
IN the third place I shall prove,1 that to Attend upon the Lord without Distraction is our Duty, which will clearly follow by demonstrating, 1. The Possibility of it. 2. The Necessity of it.
- 1Cap. 3. Proves that it is our Duty to Attend on the Lord without Distraction.
First, It is Possible thus to serve our God: the sluggard,1 it is true, finds a Lyon in his way to every Duty, and nothing is possible, because nothing is welcome. There is no Duty so easy, but can pose the negligent; none so hard, but is facile through Divine grace to the diligent. Perfection herein I assert not, but that we may attain it, in the substance and security thereof is proved.
