Again. §5A man is said then for to honour Christ, When He does trust unto Him, & rest upon Him for help at a dead lift (as we speak commonly) and the more a man does rely upon Jesus Christ in straights, and in the time of Temptation, the more he does honour Jesus Christ. Abraham gave glory ⟨p. 109⟩to God, he believed above hope, and under hope; and because he believed above hope, and under hope, therefore he gave glory to God, when he considered his own body. Man or woman, wouldst thou therefore now honour Jesus Christ? Say, True, I confess indeed I Have finned much; and when I look, upon my self, I know no reason why such a wretch, so great a sinner as I should be saved: but because the way to honour Christ, is for to rest upon Him; and I have dishonoured Jesus Christ enough already, therefore now, through the Grace of God, I will cast the weight of my poor, guilty soul upon Jesus Christ; yea, for that very reason will I leave the weight of my guilty soul upon Him, because thereby I may honour Him.
