Again. You cannot honour Jess Christ, §2If you count it a small matter to belong to him. A servant that honours his master, does count it a great matter to belong to Him. And therefore David, he does title some of his Psalms so: A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord: He does not say, A Psalm of David the King of Israel; but, A Psalm of David the Servant of the Lord: Counting it more honour to be the Lords Servant, then to be King of Israel; he counted it a great matter to be the Lords Servant, because he honoured the Lord. Those that honour Christ, they look upon the things of Christ as great matters: the words of Christ, as great works: and the Ordinances of Christ as great matters; ⟨p. 108⟩and a great matter to belong to Christ: and if they lose any thing, or lose any friend; they will relieve themselves here; Oh! but yet I belong to Jesus Christ, yet I belong to Jesus Christ.
