Thirdly. §3Ye cannot honour Jesus Christ, and give the worst to Him. Abel honoured God, and he offered the best; and because he offered the best, therefore he honoured God. If I be a father, 1where is mine honour? (says the Lord.) Why bring ye the lean, and the maimed, and the feeble? Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase, (says Solomon.) Observe therefore, what is your best, and what is your substance, and what are your first fruits? and give them up to Christ. Young men, young men & women; the best of your years; the best of your strength, the best of your time is to be given to Christ: ye cannot honour Jesus Christ, and give Him the worst: Oh! that the old people would be much humbled; and the young people would be much encouraged: you cannot honour Jesus Christ, and give the worst to Him.
