Obj. 4 But if God will have mercy in case of outward things, saving our estates and preservation of our persons, rather than his own Ordinances, Is not this to prefer the body before the soul? &c.
Obj. 4 But if God will have mercy in case of outward things, saving our estates and preservation of our pers•ns, rather than his own Ordinances, Is not this to prefer the body before the soul? &c.
Answ. The preservation of a mans outward estate and condition is to be considered in a threefold respect.
As it is in its self, and when a man shall love his estate only in reference to its self, certainly it is sin, to regard it before sacrifice.
It is to be considered as it enables us to do service for God and our brethren; and this is in a higher respect than the other, of loving our estates for our selves.
