First, If you would offer such sacrifices unto God as you Answ, 1 would never be ashamed of, Be sure they be his own, worship ⟨p. 334⟩God in his own way; It is not what you think will please God what you think is brave and excellent, but look to the word, be sure it is his own.

Answ, 2 Secondly, Let your hearts be acted by Divine Principles, let it come from faith, and whatsoever comes from you to be tendered up unto God, look to your principles; rest not in the action that is done but consider from what principles those services come you tender up unto God.
Answ, 3 Thirdly, Let your ends be high in all your services, Oh take heed of base and low ends in all your sacrifices. It is too too much that men should have base and low ends in their outward affairs, they should have their hearts high upon the glory of the great God in their natural, in their civil actions, but when they come to their sacrifices and holy duties, then sursum Corda, then lift up your hearts indeed, be sure then your ends be high and holy.
